We recently watched 40 Year-Old Version, and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.
Me too!
It did get me thinking about series that had epic starts that went south quickly. I think Terminator and Aliens have to be toward the top of last list. I don't think I hated 3 or the idea of the story. 4 I remember seeing in the theater and disliking a bit, and 5 I didn't make it much more than 1 hour into.
Wow that’s a wild statement. Westworld isn’t good but 70s have some absolute top tier movies.
Great points, and I can't argue much with anything in here. Like you, I think I found 3 more watchable than most, and I feel I am in the minority that thinks Emilia Clarke is just as bad of an actor and she made Genisys worse for me. Maybe it's because I already knew Jai was terrible and this was just conformation of what I thought while watching GoT.
Pretty much agree here.. I was Really.. REALLY disappointed, at how badly they screwed up with Salvation.. After Judgement all I kept thinking was "I wish they'd make one showing us the Future world".
I wanted to take my wish back.
Futureworld is where it’s at. It even has a funny sort of suggested sechs scene with Yul Brynner and Blythe Danner
You and I don't agree on a ton with movies, but I am not far behind you on this one. I have been trying to get through this one over the last few nights. I got a couple chuckles at the beginning, but got irritated and bored quickly, and I think I am just about done with Tilda Swinton. I get that she can act, but for me it's a strong mix of annoyance and creeped out when she is on screen. Anyway, I am about 1 hour in and I don't think I have the motivation to continue on with it.
Some of the things that have stuck with me from the movie are the small interactions with people from that community- discussing the tattoo he gave the other woman, drumming with the kid, etc...
Yes! I think a lesser movie would have tried to set up more conflict, having him rebel against the community. Seeing him slowly finding his way in those types of moments was so much more realistic and satisfying.
I think I will check this out tonight. As someone who is going deaf I had been avoiding it but I am hearing (no pun intended) to many good things about it.
I think this is what too many movies get wrong. Most of our connections with people are short lived - an interaction with a clerk, some conversation you had at a party, a look you get from an attractive person, on and on. Movies are too focus on those big ideas and gestures that they don't take the time to get these small interactions and looks correct. This movie nails those small interactions.
Absolutely. And in this one, even the "big" moments are appropriately small. It's hard to talk too much about it without spoiling, but there's the part with the line "It's OK." Just that - it's OK. Not some huge blowout or overwrought emotional statement; yet just the "it's OK" was more of a gut punch to me than something "bigger" would have been.KarmaPolice said:
First WW, now this- maybe there is a reason they are trying this model with the movies this year. How many were people anxiously waiting to see in the theater anyway.
Oh, good point as I forgot to mention how much I loved the ending. The fact it focused on him just a bit longer than a viewer could comfortably watch...mwauch. :fingerkissestothesky:
It wanted so hard to be Seven---it tried and tried, but whereas, when Pitt and Freeman would do something smart, this movie did something dumb,prosopis said:
I was going to ask what you thought but then considered sending a PM to avoid spoilers.
I watched that movie on a plane, back when planes were a thing. Fine for a plane movie, snoozer otherwise.
It was decent but very derivative of many other films. The ending saved it for me. I felt there was a clever little "twist" in there that made it worth watching.prosopis said:
