How can this be a prequel when Damien was born from a hound? Is it a joke?
This movie answers the age-old question "what if we mashed up The Finals, The Hunger Games, and John Wick?"
“Teach me to tap dance, Beverly Crusher!”
Another winner! Lower Decks continues to impress.
It's always great to hear familiar voices, and Rom (Max Grodènchik) and Leeta (Chase Masterson) were two of my favourites from DS9. The baseball references, the grand nagus staff, the trip to Ferenginar, Quark's name in lights... yeah, this episode was extra special. I like this Staff Writer Ben Waller guy. :)
Once again, Lower Decks takes a DEEP DIVE into Past Trek shows, and pulls out another winner.
I am starting to think that, unlike "Star Trek Picard", we are going to see Trek Reunions in animation, more than in live action. Which is fine - the actors are starting to look like Kirk' crew, circa the early 90s, but with animation, it means they can look like they've aged only a few years. Plus, we can get characters from the past (Like what they did with Prodigy) return and get updated storylines.
Not to mention, if SNW ever is cancelled (perish the thought), we know that animated can come in to the rescue.
As usual, fun as hell to get legacy characters (DS9 in this case) involved with our Lower Deckers.
Why are people so annoying?
I loved the idea of the movie :P
Oh my freaking god.
I went to see this in the cinema and I kid you not, there was not a dry eye. This film is a true story following Nicholas Winton who attempted to get as many child refugees out of Prague as he could and away to safety. This film was incredibly emotional but somewhat witty in places due to the amazing acting by both Anthony Hopkins and Helena Bonham Carter. They add wit to an undoubtedly sad film. This is something that all people need to see.
this movie is medicine for the heart. a romantic comedy with lots of drama and no cheesiness. just authentic people (if one can say about characters in a movie) grounded in reality, with problems, needs, desires, struggles and hopes. Helen Hunt is amazing in this role of balancing a strong, wise cracking, hard working mom with a vulnerable, unseen woman who sacrifices everything for the care of her sick son. Jack Nickolson as a weird, obessive misanthroph, who hates life and people is a treat to watch. But what makes this movie truly awesome is that the plot touches on true love, friendship and discovering the importance of that without ever falling into cringy hollywood cliches. a must watch if you love great acting, witty dialogues and moments of everyday life poetry. a true cinema gem.
Emotional , stressful and a relieving movie
wow
I run out of words when I think about a way to describe it
After tons of CGI action blockbuster you really appreciate a movie like this.
A real story, real actors and real acting. Worth every minute.
Honestly, boring - nothing we haven't seen dozens of time before... why I'm still watching? Because every once in a while there's an outstanding episode. But the last one of those has been quite a while ago.
Underrated masterpiece with a beautiful soundtrack and stunning cinematography.
The music and soundtrack is just beautiful. The almost sterile and futuristic appearance works really to keep it almost timeless.
The story is very believable and easy to follow. I wasnt bored throughout the movie and sometimes even on the edge. Very good and recommended!
First time I have watched this movie since high school and I was surprised how well it holds up. Is it the greatest sci-fi film ever? Not necessarily, but it is damn solid and is one that is easy to recommend.
Rating: 3.5/5 - 80% - Would Recommend
Enjoyable Sci fi, with great cast. Even though over 25 years old, it still looks great and has aged well. In my view, it's not an absolute classic but an enjoyable watch.
One of the great sci-fi movies of all time. An interesting glimpse at what could happen in the near future.
I'm not sure of the day I saw it but I really enjoyed the movie. The social dynamics of the world, how one man defies destiny and his place on a society by becoming something larger than expected. It's a nice movie on how dreams have such a strength that leads one to beat the odds and defy what is expected of him.
Not much of a sci-fi fan, but we watched this in school and I really enjoyed it! It was, for me, a very realistic portrayal of what could happen and also quite touching. Some of my friends even shed a tear or two! Definitely a movie to watch!
Cinema Paco 2. Figure 4, tone 4. The first time I saw I liked, have liked more now. Very good of all
In a world dictated by genetics, the human being is still him.
In the near future, humanity has mastered his own genetic code. So thorough is this knowledge, in fact, that the majority of modern conceptions are performed in a petri dish, on an embryo with the lowest number of negative hereditary traits. Against the backdrop of this fanatically eugenic-conscious future, discrimination has reached new levels, as jobs and relationships are won and lost with a simple blood sample and naturally conceived children are second-class citizens.
It seems like there's always a persistent, rebellious figure when confronted with such an oppressive system, and in Gattaca's case that role is filled by Ethan Hawke as the physically modest, daydreaming genius Vincent. The bevy of hoops Hawke jumps through to maintain the illusion that he's a top-tier genetic example make up most of the film's substance, with an ongoing murder investigation pressing the matter in a few hairy new directions. Somewhere along the way Vincent stumbles into a hollow, affection-free relationship with Uma Thurman that seems to spawn more from boredom than passion.
Quite slow and methodical in nature, it's still a bright rumination on a future that already seems within grasp. Could have used a more flavorful tone, and the cast is almost universally glazed-over and dry.
Wow, must watch! Concept, details, ambience and all the things... It was a great sci-fi movie!
Great work of sci-fi, lacks a bit of an original plottwist or story development. But maybe I am too harsh on it since it is already over 15 years old. It does show a very realistic image of a genetically enginered future, with discrimination in a new form. The hero needs to beat the odds.
This was such a relevant science fiction film that imagines a world which very well could be in the not to distant future with the human genome project and examines the ethics of such enterprises.
The characters are so likable and relatable. There are even some twists in there as well which was very enjoyable. Even some subordinate characters have really interesting things about them.
The story is very good however perhaps a couple of extra scenes could have been helpful for certain aspects of it however it was brilliant at addressing the ethical issues in question.
Overall I thought it was a great example of a film that aims to address challenges of the modern era.
One of the best movies I've seen recently, the philosophy behind the movie is very thought provoking and shows any discrimination upon presumption is toxic, absolutely recommended
Minimalist sci-fi with great attention to details. The story is not too complex or out-there, but the acting makes it great. Would've liked a better ending for Irene.
I feel this is a movie i am going to keep on coming back to for years to come. Ethan Hawke is fantastic in this film and though at small moments it feels like the story is standing still it then picks up just as quick. Listen to the recommendations it constantly gets and watch.
