Horrifying that this is actually happening in the world. And mind boggling that more people are affected by slavery now than when it was legal.
It also sickens me that they had to battle for 5 years for this film to be shown.
An absolutely stellar performance from Sean Patrick Flanery. Terrifyingly good, literally.
A pretty basic plot with with not a lot else going for it. Visual effects were poor and overused (cue popular comment about too much blur), and I wasn’t stirred to feel anything throughout the whole thing.
The “romance”, if you can call it that, is a prime example of how most elements besides the core plot felt like an afterthought. And let’s not mention the “bolt-on” franchise pair-up teaser during the credits! Maybe it’s just me, but it felt a little desperate and forced. Only time will tell.
A great experience: tense, butt-clenching moments throughout. It really gives you a sense of how hostile space is and the kinds of dilemmas that astronauts could face.
I do wish there was a bit more of a build up to the drama though, maybe see more of the characters, their relationships, and the mission before all hell breaks loose.
On the other hand, it's obvious the aim was to show how fast things can go wrong, which, it turns out, can be very fast.
Convinced that Herbie is an outcast Transformer.
Nearly non-existent character backstories and developments, and no discernible plot.
Yes, there were a couple of truly gruesome spectacles to behold, but those tiny little moments seemed to be all this film had in store.
Damn, that was moving! Having grown up with the Potter films (and books), this really tugged on the heartstrings.
Especially when the names of the deceased cast and crew appeared on screen
Brilliant comedic performance by Hanks, and just a wonderful feel-good atmosphere throughout the entire film. The kind you’d watch to cheer yourself up after a bad day - charming and wholesome, with a few giggles along the way.
Bland, illogical character behaviour, uninspiring choreography, no plot twists or thrilling reveals.
In short, nothing special.
What a man - Ghandi 2.0.
If you ever need to show someone with an obsession for masculinity the power of compassion: this. This is what they need.
I liked the spooky atmosphere of the location, but apart from that, I wasn’t impressed.
Cheap jump scares were heavily relied upon and the plot was incredibly weak.
I regret going to the cinema for this one, it didn’t justify it; a home showing would’ve been better value.
Love how Netflix (kind of) puts itself in the firing line this time!
Like the first film, but stripped of all the built up creepy tension; the intensity wasn’t gradually cranked up, it was just on a constant level for most of the film.
A cheap and nonsensical ending thrown in to boot.
A Nicolas Cage film that isn’t terrible :hushed:
Better than the first, but only on par with any average 80s slasher (cheesy, weird sound effects/soundtrack, kids being picked off one by one).
The dog has a flashback to the first film :joy: The dog!
The setting up of the characters was alright, but afterwards, it was just incessant screaming, shouting, over-the-top acting, and not much else.
A really sinister feeling to this docu-series, covering some horrific and truly mystifying deaths and disappearances. Some episodes really do make you wonder who’s out there and how things can actually be possible.
They really do need to cut out the paranormal and mythical episodes though, they just don’t have the same level of solidity as the concrete “this person was murdered/disappeared” episodes. A lot less about facts, a lot more about speculation and believing in unlikely sightings seen by a very select few people.
But for those episodes, I’d rate the show a 9, or, if feeing generous, possibly even a 10.
An entertaining zombie sequence, but a whole film can’t ride on one sequence alone.
Most of the acting belonged in a pantomime. The deaths…just comical!
Maybe it was supposed to be cheesy, but it didn’t feel intentional. It just felt…out of place and inept.
Interesting concept, just not executed very well.
Being given some info on the cause of the whole scenario would've been nice; it didn’t seem like much thought or planning went into the plot.
So many injuries that made my skin crawl :sweat_smile: Surprised this film didn’t cause a world shortage of fake blood.
A story about blindly following fascism as a young, impressionable boy, but learning to love instead of hate.
The film carried a powerful message about some harrowing human history, with a handful of good laughs to boot. Perhaps a little strange though, as despite focusing on children, I was left staring at the end credits still unsure about what the film’s target audience was.
The ‘horror’ in this film didn’t surmount to much; the characters never felt like they were in any immediate danger. For the most part, they suffered from nightmares and a couple of poltergeist-y events, but…that was it. We didn’t see enough of this poltergeist or demon, in my opinion.
Could’ve passed as a war film almost as much as a horror.
A fascinating poverty-to-prosperity journey with some good acting and authentic scenery (really brought me back to the time I visited India).
Beautiful visuals, as expected, and a delight to watch as a whole. But there were no characters I was particularly fond of by the end of it, which detracted from the adventure.
I preferred 28 Days Later, as I felt the characters were more interesting.
Regardless, this is still a highly enjoyable zombie film. Seeing more of London in an apocalyptic state was pretty intriguing.
The most harrowing film I’ve ever seen. A must-see for anyone, purely for the history.
Think I prefer the Nolan films, but this was still very enjoyable.
The atmosphere of Gotham was palpable - really dreary and dark-looking.
I love the way this film captures family, ugly bits included. Brotherly love, parental fondness, loony relatives, bitter relatives. Humour and laughter.
First time I’ve seen sex in a film that…wasn’t arousing, intentionally.
Aunt Patrizia, though…
Terrible acting by most (although they are kids, after all).
On the other hand, this is the part of the Potter story where things get interesting - the first appearance of a horcrux, a peek into Voldemort’s past etc.
