Sadly (although I rather like both Gosling and Blunt), it's sort of got that "We already stuffed all of the good stuff that you're going to want to pay to see into the trailer" feeling to it.

Maybe I'm wrong. It happens.

It is a long trailer. Like a 3 minute song.

The TV series (back in the day) was good, with Lee Majors.

Switched off Oppenheimer after an hour, the most boring film of the decade.

It's a long slow movie, interesting story but I get that it isn't for everyone.

Rebel Moon Part II is available on Netflix.

Yes indeed. Watched it the day of. Although it wasn't as entertaining as Part 1, I still enjoyed it.

TXSTYLE · 04-28-2024, 09:07 PM

Watched this last night. Excelent! 5/5

First one was shite, got bored half way and caved in and went to IMDb where it was panned so i bailed.

Alfisti · 04-28-2024, 10:03 PM

Saw PREY (Predator) last night, I got exactly wat i expected....... immense mediocrity. The cast tried hard but it is just a dull story with no real edge to it. They also went a bit sill with the female lead, making her cartoonishly superhuman.

I do wonder with Predator, the first was SO GOOD but with the mystery gone now, it's hard to make a good new one. I thought Predators in 2010 was a very good attempt at a different anle and it worked but since then .... meh.

I think it was trite, melodramatic, overdone, heavy handed and self indulgent.
Very overrated imo, and the science in the film (while not a film about the science) was both wrong and oversimplified. The history was also "adapted", especially Teller's role in all of it.

Nolan jumped the shark ages ago.

Given that it won so many awards just points to how low the bar is for post Covid movies in the woke hollywood era.
They're just poop... reminds me of the hoopla around Titanic. Feh.

Glad I never started it. Reviews didn't make it look like my kind of movie.

Anybody seen this yet?

Alfisti · 04-29-2024, 12:51 PM

Meh, looks shite. Been done 5 times in last 5 years with different actors.

OGOverkill · 04-29-2024, 12:57 PM

Going to see Star Wars episode I in theatres with my 8 year old son this weekend. Obviously not the best Star Wars movie, but not often you get to see them on the big screen!

Will be fun seeing it through the eyes of your son.

Just curious, is there any movies or tv shows that aren't "shite"?

Watched Warhorse One on Prime this weekend. Kept me entertained while enjoying a stick and glass of whiskey.

We've had this discussion before

It is shite though, "Lone spaceman in space alone" has been done to death the last 5 years, this adds nothing.
