Placeholder for good or interesting or entertaining reviews, either by goons or "professionals" Personally, I'm pumped based on Edwards previous work. Also curious to see Sturgill act, big fan of his music (he plays both kinds, country AND western). https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2023/10/its-not-too-late-to-make-the-creator-a-sleeper-hit Do your duty nerds!

weekly font posted:There was a crouching tiger hidden dragon 2?? Yeah it sucked poo poo in a lot of ways and also is adapted from a much later book in the series Crouching Tiger is from which was a weird choice imo, like they didn't want to commit to having too much Michelle Yeoh. It was going to be released in theaters originally but then Netflix decided against that so it just got unceremoniously added to the Netflix library.

Fine movie, kinda makes you feel like you took some cough syrup or something before the reel starts. But I don't think there's much beyond what they show you.

What a strange collection of scenes. Very little of the world setting makes any sense. Kudos for Gareth Edwards for tricking the studio in letting him remake Star Wars and do an audition for the Cyberpunk 2077 TV show

Great aesthetic and some of the character stuff was pretty nice and deft i really liked hookah bot running away from the hiding kids to save them but gotta echo this is a major vibes movie. Some of the story stuff just didn't make sense. My big gripe is like the US military has no trouble war crimes executing defenseless monkbots but wont kill a kid robot that they view as a world ending threat? The end of this movie especially is a logic nightmare. Still was fun and sooo cool to look at.

Like most seem to be saying, it looks great, totally nails the live action anime they're aiming for. But it's just scenes that someone throws exposition in between that isn't well written or really helpful. It's possible that if you saw this movie dubbed in a language you didn't understand without subtitles, you'd enjoy it more because there's a very clear story visually that the dialogue doesn't help with.

everything i've read about this basically says this is a good movie if you like looking at pretty visuals but it's a bad movie if you like a coherent plot that's not derivative i don't particularly give a poo poo about how visually impressive a movie is if it doesn't have anything interesting to say. scored a good seat for this with AMC A List both last night and tonight and wound up cancelling both times. just can't sit through 2 hours of who-cares and seen-it-all-before-but-better

honestly im more disappointed than angry or pouty. i like sci-fi and think it can produce some of the greatest stories with its setting and themes. i'm also stoked that it apparently proves that you can pull off exceptional visuals at a fraction of the budget of mainstream drek that's been churned out nonstop the last few years. but if the movie has a paint by the numbers story then no amount of pretty explosions and lasers can make up for being bored at the theater  e: but hey there's no point droning on about a movie i haven't seen and probably won't bother with in the thread dedicated to it. i hope it gets some academy nods for its technical achievements and that this inspires more opportunities to make mid budget original genre movies.

I confused the director for this with the director for the Raid, because there's just so many bits of Southeast Asian flavor in this. But then again, every time NOMAD shows up it's like a miniature of whenever the Death Star does in Rogue One.
