Sure. And absolutely, if he could watch Star Trek. There isn't any sex in the movie, really (a little tension between Eisenberk and his former assistant). There is action but nothing on the level of star trek. If you are looking for a movie to compare it to (as far as appropriateness), the best comparison is Oceans 11. But it wasn't nearly as good. After I thought about it a bit, I was a little annoyed by the plot holes.
I would have loved Sunshine were it not for that superfluous antagonist.Nope, I can't even think of any other zombie movies I've seen besides I Am Legend. 28 Days Later just reminded me a lot of Danny Boyle's other film Sunshine, too many distracting plot holes, and whatever good was done in the first half of the film is made almost irrelevant by a terribly haphazardly done final half. At least Sunshine looked great, 28 Days Later did not, outside of the opening scenes in the empty streets.Is your review partially colored by zombie burnout? I really don't ever need to see another zombie movie.Yeah after searching this thread, it seems the significant majority of people in here loved it, and most critics loved it too. Wasn't expecting to dislike it as much as I did.I liked it a lot
Caught this recently, and have previously read the book ("One Shot") it's based on.
I thought they handled the total mismatch of physical size between the books' Reacher and Cruise reasonably well, but I think the fight scenes had to become a bit more gimmicky since Tom's not 6-5 and 260.heckmanm said:
I agree with your rating. I thought the final third was kinda pointless and was too happenstantial/melodramatic for my liking. Though I thought Bradley Cooper was great and the middle part in which he starred was the best part of the film; was the only part of the film with much of a character arc I thought.
I thought it was very interesting and the scenes post tsunami were very powerful but the ending was terribly saccharine and I really struggled with liking Ewan McGregor's character afterAndy Dufresne said:
That's real father of the year stuff right there.
Also did a lot of reading up on the oppression that East Germany was facing because of the Stasi, I love learning history through films. The initial scene was supposed to be at a Stasi interrogation room, but they didnt have permission to film in the real Stasi building since the people in charge of it felt it wasnt in their best interest to allow a Stasi character to play the hero in the film so they used another building.
That's fascinating. On a similar note, did you ever see Night Crossing? Others is a better movie, but both cover similar thematic material. If you have kids 10 or older, Night Crossing's a pretty exciting movie and not too scary or violent.Also did a lot of reading up on the oppression that East Germany was facing because of the Stasi, I love learning history through films.

Very cool to learn that anyone can search the Stasi Archives to find out if they were being monitored at all, I think the number was only 10% of people have tried to find out if they were being monitored.
Very cool, but too spoilery to be an actual pre-release poster if that's the idea you were going for.
want to try this one again. was really disappointed in it, but it all started with the overly cgi train wreck and I realize the old fart in me has too little patience with that, and need to work on that. also remember the ending being cheesy too.
The ending is definitely cheesy. But I think this movie is worth watching just for the interaction between the kids.
Yea I completely disagree. This is the movie I thought Bridesmaids was going to be (based on the previews). Its The Hangover with girls. Its really funny.
I felt the same way. It is really weird that a movie so gorgeously shot and well acted could feel so flat. Was hoping for something new, but it just felt like a slightly more graphic/twisted Hitchcock rehash.
Finally caught Upstream Color. Went in cold, knowing nothing about it other than "from the dude that made Primer", which I also went into cold. Primer made more sense on the first viewing having known nothing about it. This movie is more complicated, in a different sort of way. I enjoyed Primer more.
