What was the last movie you've seen?
Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
Transformers: Age of Extinction.
2 hours and 40 minutes or so of pretty good CGI, pretty weak acting, and a plot that is both overly simplistic (and highly MacGuffin dependent) and annoyingly over-complicated.
Don't. Just don't. You have much better things to do with 2+ hours. Play a game or something. Don't see this movie.

Planning to see it tomorrow with Gunstar Green, and looking forward to it.Luke wrote:DAWN OF PLANET OF THE APES
Go see it. It's not perfect, but if you like monkey/ape shenanigans, it's rope.
Tonight I watched Elysium for the first time. I liked it much better than District 9.

Hmm, to me Elysium beat you over the head a little too much with the message. Granted D9 did a bit too. But I bought D9 to watch again, I have no such desire with E.dsheinem wrote: Tonight I watched Elysium for the first time. I liked it much better than District 9.

So apparently Snowpiercer is already available on VOD, that's kind of a big deal
I just ordered it. It seems to be getting strong reviews

The first half was decent, but then it got muddied down in cryptic tedium and utter bullshit. Many critics love bullshit.Gamerforlife wrote:So apparently Snowpiercer is already available on VOD, that's kind of a big deal

Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
Wow, that's surprising. Elysium was alright and had some cool parts, but I thought District 9 was much better. Elysium was a disappointment, so I probably like it less than I would've if I hadn't had high expectations going in from D9dsheinem wrote:Planning to see it tomorrow with Gunstar Green, and looking forward to it.Luke wrote:DAWN OF PLANET OF THE APES

Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
Don't get me wrong, neither is a great sc-fi flick, but I thought District 9 was one of the most overrated films in the genre in decades. By comparison, I'd probably give Elysium a 3/5 or 3.5/5.Jmustang1968 wrote:Wow, that's surprising. Elysium was alright and had some cool parts, but I thought District 9 was much better.

Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
Hmm I guess I just disagree. Id give D9 3.5 or 4/5 and Elysium 2.5/5.
Elysium had too many plot holes and eye-roll inducing moments that brought down some of the good parts. The ending/last 20-30 was the worst part. Just meh.

Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
The ending was a bit of cheese, agreed. I'd concur that the last 30 minutes probably bumped it down at least a half star.Jmustang1968 wrote:Hmm I guess I juat disagree. Id give D9 3.5 or 4/5 and Elysium 2.5/5.
