What a brilliant marvel in stop-motion. <3
Yorgos Lanthimos remaking THAT movie. Wow. Did not expect that but if ANYONE can do it justice then it may be him...

Please break the chains.
Everyone decries this as an overlong episode of Black Mirror but... is that a bad thing necessarily?
It may not have explored all the nooks and crannies of the issues with what was going on in the movie but I am fine with that, that's what we have Black Mirror for. On the other hand we have another top performance by Gael Garcia Bernal and Renata Reinsve was great too. "That one scene" had me floored tho. I'm a sucker for that and would have had me rate this even higher if they hadn't ruined the ending... they had a perfect opportunity to end on a "fade to black" but they had to come back and make it... worse? I am not yet sure if I like the ending or not. Frustrating.
That ending... lol. What incredible garbage.
Yeah honestly this wasnt all that bad, certainly didnt deserve to be wiped from the face of the earth or all of streaming.
It felt like a Disneyfied version of Stand by Me updated for a new generation of viewers and I'm all for that.
I think with this China has reached #3 in my unofficial "animated movie country" ranking. Before there was a tossup between France and the UK+Ireland but damn. This was not just absolutely stunning on a technical level but also impressed story-wise and what they had the balls to do in a Chinese movie to begin with. The lighting and environments in this were bordering on Photorealism and this contrasted with the "unique" character design might not be everyone's cup of tea but it was honestly stunning.
Not to mention the animation of the lions heads, that was just something else.
Impressive work and another Chinese Director and Animation Studio to keep an eye on.
"How is it that we're the Nazis this time?"
Man, considering the current "situation" in Ukraine this line made me go HA... brutal movie, for something made by Americans this was KINDA decent esp. considering its age.
The most Japanese movie I've seen in while!
BAND-MAID, Chanmina, Reol - dope ass soundtrack, good classical Japanese actors with Jun Kunimura, a random Miyavi appears and some dope ass action scenes. Really can not complain at all with this. Wondering if this was aimed at a Japanese audience or at weebs? Either way, gimme more of this Netflix! Oh and I hope Miku Martineau has a bright future ahead, she has potential!
Hah, that was just a load of fun and the balls to have it end like that? Kudos.
Metal first, girls later!
That was one fucking entertaining trip with a \m/ soundtrack. Highly recommended, not only to the "metalheads" tbh. :D
Almost got a sore throat from laughing too much, help!
One of the best comedy specials I've seen since Hasan Minhaj's Homecoming King.
"Und wenn diese kerze ausgeht?"
Not sure what else to say here, quite the heartbreaking story acted out by some pretty good actors and sprinkled with an interesting soundtrack choice. Also Apinya Sakuljaroensuk certainly is a sight to behold.
Maaaaaaaaaaan that was terrible, I ALMOST feel bad for enjoying it that much. :D
(Kaity Nguyên is one god damn cutiepie)
wow, this was incredible. A beautiful little story masterfully told in probably the best VR short story experience around right now.
I guess I should've seen that twist coming but I did not and... damn! That was pretty good and surprising, it felt a bit like a Korean mix of Wakefield and The Sixth Sense. ;D
What a beautifully unique movie.
Man... how took it Park Kwang-hyun 12 years to finally direct a movie again after Welcome to Dongmakgol?! It's been way too long and I sincerely hope it won't take another 12 years till the next one.
This one here certainly had some potential. Great soundtrack, some interesting ideas and action sequences, the weird tonal shift's I'm used to at this point by korean movies... not too bad, certainly some entertaining two hours.
Wow, what a surreal movie. Certainly something only the Korean's can pull off....
There's a turtle with a candle on it!
...what a silly movie, haha. Oh and Kate Micucci boobies! Never expected to see those!
Man, Saxana was such a stylish cutie for 1970's eastern block!
I kinda seriously disliked that ending but besides that, well acted uniqueish movie.
Watched it mostly because of Hanna Simone and it was kinda worth it for at least that. Everything else was pretty terrible tho.
Almost at a loss of words here, but it's a Japanese movie so all this crazy shit should've been expected. But wow.
What a hilarious movie and how it all fit together, amazing. I lost it already at the sexual harassment case and Noriko's reactions to all of Takuya's bullshit, holy crap.
But the ending was something else. Suddenly a E-Girls dance number and a random Verbal appears?! What the actual fuck. The song was so fitting tho, I don't even... that was absolutely amazing. Good thing I did not watch any trailers or anything before so this was a nice surprise as a "tie-in" song for the movie.
HAIRY ARMPITS, STATUE OF LIBERTY!
"Too bad" my friend told me how the whole story worked out in the manga and anime, this is just a terribly bad adaption of the original story. Unbelievable bad to be honest. The whole movie didn't make any sense this way and knowing how it ACTUALLY all went down it's so much worse... how could they fuck this up so badly? It was kinda nice to see Tetsuya Fujiwara after all those years since Battle Royal again tho.
Probably one of the best korean rom-com's of recent years. Had a whole lot of laughs, heart and everything else you need to succeed, shame that it went completely under the radar.
That final scene, good throwback to The Host. Well done Bong, well done.
What an octane fuelled riot and a half, brilliantly entertaining movie!
Not entirely terrible I'd say. Kinda weak script, not the best editing and stuff like that but overall... ok for a low-budget SciFi movie. See it as a 1 1/2 hour non-interactive video game and don't expect anything too groundbreaking.
