Am I the only one who loved this film ?? I want to thank the cinema gods for this film. It was awesome.

@theosaintvoirin Yes. You are the only one.
I'd heard rave reviews about this film and I was very glad to have watched it.
However, it's not going to blow you away. It's a very nice film with good performances. But it isn't a 10/10 by any means.
The concept is a wonderful one. Yet it seems to limp to an ending in the last act - and not the one you'd think.
It's charming, well acted, has plenty of heart, seems an accurate depiction of Chinese beliefs - so it's well worth a watch. Best to taper expectations though.
7.5/10

@porteruk yes I didn't think it was that good.
Wow. Save your time and dont watch this. There is no magic in this movie. Changed a lot of aspects of the storie for a check list and it shows. Nothing new or good here.

@david1780 There is no magic because it is badly made, not because they changed aspects of the story. If they don't change anything, it still can be bad.
Good till I saw Santa "Roll Up" come on now I get it mainly black related movie but ya didn't have to go that far with it

@family97381 Are you **sane? It's a fictional character. Santa does not exist.

I saw this movie mainly to see Kevin James in a different role. It wasn't too bad and would have rated higher if it wasn't for Becky's character. She was annoying and I couldn't stand her. A teen high school girl could do some of the things she did? I mean come on anger issues don't make you into John Wick or John Rambo.

@lennydz It's not a documentary. It's a fantasy for enjoyment.
A complete waste of time.

@frostycold1212 Why you gave it 4?!
Wes Anderson is not for everyone.

@sweetdeath I would have liked your comment but your rating is way too high! I'm looking for 1s!
Saw most of the twist coming from 20-30 minutes in, but not the very last bit.

@dgw I saw it coming from the first 5 minutes.
It was very very interesting, until that stupid gross rape scene that thank God never happened, but just the thought of it makes me sick. That's the only reason why I rated it with 6 and not 7.

@sweetdeath And very unreal and stupid. Like they don't know how babies are made.

2 hours and 38 minutes of what? literally the most dull film i’ve seen in so long. Nothing is ever explained and I cannot understand the hype to this film.

@laurenhannahcrofts Please explain why you gave it 2?!
So they turned Muad'Dib into edward scissorhands in a desert. They dragged the story on and on with endless slow mo and flash forwards. Dissapointing, the cinematography and soundtrack was brilliant but thats all. 5/10 is generous. Ive read the books and watched all the dune tv shows and the 1984 movie and i would recommend them as a must watch before this.

@gusmack I agree. The David Lynch movie had better music and better mood.
What was that ending? I thought they could wrap it up in a better way. Anyway, it's an enjoyable movie, but they could make it a little bit better.
loading replies
@hijaine How could they wrap it up better than that? That's the best part.
I forgot the end of Planes, Trains and Automobiles goes full John Hughes and ended up blubbering like a baby.

@notnixon I did not forget. How could anyone forget?
Good documentary about an unusual and fascinating person, and the strange rise and fall of Theranos. But it felt incomplete. I want to know more about how everything played out at the end. And to dig more into the technology and see if any of it was real.

@staircar There is nothing complex. It was a scam. She thought with her big eyes she could hypnotize people.
A very important film, a very saddening story. I still wonder why the girl cried ("not about what they did to her")...?
This may at the surface be a period piece, but anyone who's watched, "Democracy Now!" for any length of time knows torture is not about gaining actionable intelligence, it has historically been used to gain false confession. And, the military industrial complex seeks ever widening scope and funding. So, this is a story book to illustrate how those elements play against the human, "costs," or, how we create seven terrorists for every one that we kill. That that fact is know, but not commonly told (and never plays into the formation of policy) is proof that we (the U.S.) have been and continue to be on the wrong side of history.
Thinly veiled? No...illustrative.

@vwfringe Maybe because she was not with her people. And he was noble at the end.
What a pointless waste of time and money this movie is the worst I've seen in a long time. switched of after i wasted 30minutes waiting for something interesting and entertaining to happen. avoid like the plague

@crazymazey You lost the naked lady!
Am I the only one that thinks this movie f'ing sucks balls. Didn't like this at all
loading replies
@michaelmolina7 No you are not alone.
I honestly tried to like this movie, mostly because of its great cast. But I couldn't stand their shallow motivations, egocentric attitude and silly, sentimental dialogue, that actually made me hate most of the characters (not to mention the cameos from known stars). What entirely lost me as a viewer and made me feel uncomfortable, was a rescue pilot that flees a disaster zone to fly to a far away location to rescue his daughter. I'm a medical professional and I have been a first responder in several critical situations, and I just can say that I truly hated The Rock's character so much after that stunt. After that, I couldn't enjoy the movie, despite the CGI, that I felt as outstanding. DON'T MAKE A FIRST RESPONDER THAT FAILS TO STICK TO ETHICS AND RULES YOUR MAIN CHARACTER. It's such an insult. If you disagree, I'll remind you whenever you need medical assistance and your paramedic, doctor or nurse has to leave the scene of your accident to check on her/his daughter.

I agree. That was what I was thinking about. He used the official materials for his own personal use.
Can anyone tell me what the f**k was this movie about?
Pseudo-girl seduces guys, guys get an erection and then drown. WTF..?!
Who was that partner in crime?
Why were the aliens doing this?
Why did they needed so many human skins?
What was the aliens energetic input (didn't ate and their skin was covered)?Crappy stupid movie IMO.

And you give it 7?!!!
It needed a better ending!

I totally agree. If it had a better ending, I would have given it 8 stars. I give it 7.
I heard it was bad but I never thought it was this bad.
The acting from Jaden Smith was bad, always so forced. The plot is bad, there are lots of plot holes and some things make no sense.
Probably tomorrow I'll not remember much of what I saw.loading replies
Jaden's acting is real bad. Some people just can't act. You can't force it.
