The film features stunning photography of nature and wildlife, and is definitively worth-watching and thought-provoking. I love David Attenborough's accent, he speaks so clearly and understandably that the film can be recommended to people learning English even at lower levels. The ecological message was great for the feast of St. Francis. I did not like the idea of eoncouraging people to reduce the number of children they have, it looks like a bad idea as in most developed countries there is already problem with negative natural increase so it would have a bad effect on these countries. I also wonder about re-wilding the planet and introducing sustanability, would it not lead to job loss among people employed in industries related to overexploitation of nature? Caring about nature is very important but people are far more important than animals. I also disliked the part in which humans are called a species of animal, they are much better than that as they have immortal souls which animals do not possess. Choosing between animal and human welfare, humans are alaways more important.

I highly recommend reading the book “Dominion” by Matthew Scully. I also used to have ideas of human superiority, but the reality is we are uniquely entrusted with caring for the entire natural world. This book is an extremely important read.

I've never made a comment here, but this movie deserves one.
Please read the following comment as my personal opinion, I'm sure not every one will agree with my point of view and thats okay.
And also non native speaker here, so I apologise in advance.1. This movie is amazing. It was everything I expected it to be and much more. I was afraid because I got hyped a lot before seeing the movie, but I must say it was even better than what I was expecting to see.
2. The music and the sound is amazing. All the choices for the tracks/songs are on point. The moments where they want to build the suspense work perfectly. Also what they do with the Frank Sinatra song is superb. At the end of the movie it will have a whole different meaning for you.
3. The acting of JP is astounding. He portrays the role of Arthur Fleck perfectly. Not that we have a real world example of this role, but for me it comes awfully close to what I imagine a Joker from A Killing Joke (Graphic Novel) to be. Further comparing JP to different Joker portrayals might be fun, but they don't work in the same context, so I won't tell you JP is a better Joker than HL.
4. Don't watch the movie if you're only a Batman fan. For people who are only amazed by how cool the Batman character is, this won't do it for them. This movie needs to be seen as a single uncoupled work of art. Forget Bruce for a second and try to understand how the Joker is the perfect incorporation of what Gotham is.
5. Watch the movie if you like to be challenged. You won't walk out without feeling a tiny bit of empathy for the person Arthut Fleck becomes, and yes he does become a sociopath.
6. This movie reflects society. This movie is in many ways a mirror in whats happening on some parts of our world. This movie shows what happens when people treat other people like garbage. And the elegance of the movie, is that it keeps the discussion so far away from politics.
7. It raises some serious questions. In the beginning Arthur Fleck is just a clown, that has a rough time and we feel for him. At the end he is the Joker that kills people freely and thinks it's funny and even though we don't identify ourselves with this character, we still understand where his thoughts come from. This dissonance between in us that we feel sorry for him in the beginning, that we understand why he becomes the Joker and still wouldn't tolerate anyone that takes such actions in real life is fascinating, to say the least.
8. Will definitely watch it again in the cinema.
For all people that want to see something similar, watch Blue Ruins.

@artthik great breakdown! The music was really gripping and played a huge part in the film for me.
Wow. Really liked this movie. The look of it is very dark and kind of dirty but on the other side it's a lot of fun and I thought the stoey was pretty interesting and exciting. Can't wait to watch it at home in 4K.

I was thinking the same thing, can’t wait to rewatch in 4K HDR at home on my OLED :)

The rating should at least be in the 90s for sure! Very inspiring movie for me personally. If you have an idea you are trying to get off the ground, watch this movie, then you will start working on it immediately after. Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross do an amazing job with the soundtrack. Interesting note that approximately 83% of trakt has been coded while listening to this soundtrack :)

@antoine-fantoine haha, that's a special badge for myself, @sean, and @jimmy :)
I could feel a sweet taste in my mouth coming out from the cinema after Ready Player One knowing I’d be coming straight back here, my very own “Oasis”, to write this very review about a movie that I hope will be a landmark for all the other people, who like me live in a world where “pop culture” isn’t just a part of history, but it’s a part of real life… or simply IS real life.
Ready Player One isn’t a movie for everyone. It’s a gem that is only to be understood by the people who it is made for. A hymn bellowing aloud to every single person who struggles in life.
The misunderstood, the shunned… people who don’t know what place they have on this earth, people who don’t know how to start living, people who hide and those who create an invisible shell around themselves separating them from everyone else… people like me… the internet people.
Those of us that live in a world where comic books aren’t just “books with figures for kids”, where videogames aren’t just brainwashing violence, where movies matter and they have to be talked about, where the line between fantasy and what is real and tangible is so thin, that it enables us to expand our minds and so deeply changing every single one of us: the way we talk, the way we look, the way we think, how we interact, how we live!
Those are the people Ready Player One was made for. Me and you reading this.
This is for US.I feel sorry for those who cannot possibly feel the relevance this movie has. Who did not understand any of the references, the little things this movie was brought up upon, the lingo the characters use, the way they are portraited the way in which it takes them a blink of an eye to feel like family, to trust one another completely and depend on each other, the need they have to feel included and not eclipsed by society.
There is only sadness in that, at least for me writing this, I could not live a life without this, it would be colorless.
Ready Player One is an amalgamation of pop culture concentrated in 2 hours and 20 minutes in the form of a videogame where everything your imagination wants is right in front of you.
The characters will fight against an “EvilCorp” to take control of “Oasis” the virtual reality that is the pinnacle of society’s future by racing to find the ultimate “Easter egg” and ensure the community is safe from exploitation by greedy goblins that do not want you to install “AdBlock” as a mod.
The movie struggles to have a very clear line between real and virtual because of the consistent switches between CGI and “regular” film, this up until the very end where it finds balance and leaves the viewer, who understands what is going on, with a message that to me is most important in all that happens: take a break from the internet.
I shouldn’t need to say this – but render unto Caesar the quality of CGI is out the roof, everything is super-detailed and the animations are PHENOMENAL, which is on-par with the few real-life choreographies that are featured in some of the switches between real and virtual that I mentioned earlier. The colors are so vivid and perfectly placed some of the scenes are dreamy and give a sense of everlasting life to what is happening which further thins the line between you – the viewer and it – the picture.
Steven Spielberg is a master at giving life to what could very well look bland and lifeless and for that, I shall thank him till the day I die.
It’s always a pleasure to see Easter eggs and references inside movies, like we’re used to with the MCU, but I daresay this one is an entire different level.Let me explain to you why: Everything you see, from the WIRED magazine, to the “Twitch” streaming mention, to the DeLorean to the Iron Giant, Tracer, Halo, Gears of War and also all the Back to the Future tingling sounds that warm my heart, these aren’t just references or Easter eggs, and this is why this movie it SO GOOD, they ARE the movie!
It’s just a facet of our life that is there to remind ourselves that, however sci-fi the movie might look like, if you think deep enough it’s actually a mirror of everyday life (if you’re a nerd, like me).
The story itself isn’t too shallow or a Denis Villeneuve mindfuck, it’s a simple low and high climax with a big reveal and a moral story, so it’s a textbook good story… but it is the way it was shaped to enclose everything that just fucking shoots at your brain so seamlessly that makes it even better.
Besides my personal opinion, I think the cast overall was just spot on. I don’t think I can contribute objectively on this subject, for this particular work.
I rarely enjoy Ben Mendelsohn, especially as a bad guy.
What I can say is that I loved the perpetuating and profusing synergy between Tye Sheridan and Olivia Cooke. I LOVED how bad-ass Lena Waithe looked OOC and how massive her character looked in-game which also showed some soft spots which gave it more depth.
Win Morisaki did one thing near the end of the movie that I won’t spoil but I screamed the name of that thing in the room and everybody was both pissed and annoyed by me (Don’t regret it)
In general, I just loved the crew altogether, bit of a weak villain but honestly, it’s not that bad, it’s really hard giving dignity to someone who you know is going to lose anyway, unless you are Andrew Kevin Walker and like fucking up everyone’s mind.
To end this review I would like to say I almost cried in 10 scenes purely by nerd-gasm, I definitely cried when Win Morisaki did that thing that I cannot speak of without spoiling, with the big purple sword and that bang-bang-bang-bang and those tin-tin-tin from Back to the Future and also all the brum-brum-brum, also cried on the dance swooshy-swoosh scene where they – and so I kept crying and I had to hold my breath when she did that thing with the bike that they mentioned and that was my big “whoa” and then the movie ended and they said that thing and I was like “fuck that I don’t take days off I gotta learn RS6 Siege”.
Peace.

Great review :) I’m curious if you read the book before watching the film? It is quite different, but overall it was super enjoyable and we had a blast watching it. I did wonder if some of the plot and characters were confusing if you aren’t familiar with the book already. I’ll likely see it again with someone who hasn’t read the book and get their opinion on that.
...including some lies and overreacting. the few facts are abused to make it appear this "opinion" or better "limited point of view" is the only solution.
No Question most people eat to big, unhealthy and to much meat.
But are animal-eating animals unhealthier than plant-eating animals? Are they extinct? No! It has more to do with exercise.
"Casein is addicting" No! All things you do (eat, move, learn, toilette...) trigger the same reward system in the brain for a reason.
An Egg containing all nutrients to create a new life - in their opinion egg yellow kills you. lol
It's 2017 and they still think cholesterol from food is harmful for the body.What about insects animal protein? Why became the dominant species on this planet an everything eater?
... and so on.
propaganda movie which could have been perfected with a narrator voice of Putin or Erdogan. The same kind of movie could have been made for "only eat meat, plants will kill you"
learning sustainable nutrition not with this "documentary". you might want to go vegan for reasons, but not for this.

@jamatiknakmuay Of course things in addition to casein are addicting. I never said it was the only substance to cause an addiction, you specifically singled casein out so I linked a source with more info. The casein in dairy is addicting in that it makes you want to continue eating more and more, it has that effect in your brain. I never said it was more addicting or harmful than illicit drug use.
With all due respect, my initial reply addressed some of your comments and I provided links with more info for those interested in learning more. Ranting without providing sources doesn't help get your point across. I'd be interested in reading sources with independent (not funded by industry) research related to the comments you made.
Regarding your comment for NutritionFacts.org, he looks at peer reviewed studies published in medical journals. That is not fake or propaganda, that is science based. There are ton of websites out there making claims about nutrition, it makes sense to look at what the research indicates. I agree there is an agenda though, educating people to take ownership of their own health and lifestyle.
The simple fact is there are no studies that indicate a meat heavy diet is capable of reversing chronic conditions like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. There is plenty of research and studies showing a plant based diet can.

I encourage you to take a look at the sources for the information included in the documentary at http://www.whatthehealthfilm.com/facts/, lots of good articles in here. A lot of your questions are covered in there. Another awesome resource is NutritionFacts.org which simply looks at the actual science and what it shows.
But are animal-eating animals unhealthier than plant-eating animals? Are they extinct? No! It has more to do with exercise.
Not true. While exercise is of course an important part of a healthy lifestyle, diet has a far greater impact. If you're fueling your body with crap, exercise isn't going to counteract that. There are plenty of people who are fit and exercise that still drop dead from a heart attack.
"Casein is addicting" No! All things you do (eat, move, learn, toilette...) trigger the same reward system in the brain for a reason.
Casein breaks down to casomorphins which has an opiate like effect on our bodies. It's what tells a baby calf to keep going back to drink more milk. http://www.onegreenplanet.org/natural-health/casein-dairy-protein-and-your-health/
An Egg containing all nutrients to create a new life - in their opinion egg yellow kills you. lol
It's 2017 and they still think cholesterol from food is harmful for the body.
When eating animal based foods, it's not just cholesterol that gets consumed, it is a complete package and also what happens when it is cooked. The egg industry thinks their product is a super food, yet they can't legally claim it is healthy or that would be considered false advertising, interesting. https://nutritionfacts.org/video/who-says-eggs-arent-healthy-or-safe/
The same kind of movie could have been made for "only eat meat, plants will kill you"
I'm not aware of any studies indicating eating a 100% meat diet is healthy or can reverse the most chronic diseases in the US. There are a ton of peer reviewed, evidence based studies that indicate a plant based diet can do so. Also, you need fiber in your diet which animal products have 0 of.

@abdullah_alamri I highly recommend https://trakt.tv/movies/cowspiracy-the-sustainability-secret-2014 as well. Leonardo DiCaprio also produced that documentary and its extremely well done.
Homage to 80s music, first love and big brothers. This was a pleasant surprise in last night's sneak preview. One of the best music movies I have ever seen and easily a top 5 movie for 2016. Watch it!
loading replies
Fully agree, we saw it for free at a sneak peak too. I didn't know much about it, but the music and movie are really awesome.
This is an amazing movie. Everyone should watch it. Why? Because it tells us we're so damn wrong.
Animal based diets will eventually disappear as people will realise they're not sustainable anymore.
It is extremely important the scientific material in the footage as it was made in a science-only point of view. There's no random guy telling you to go vegan because of the animals (which as a vegan myself, I find it enough argument though) they're giving you proofs of every single word they say.
If you're vegan (or in process) you should watch this movie, it will give even more reasons to go vegan and feel great about it.
But, if you're not a vegan, you should definitely watch this documentary as it will show you lots of things you don't know which may change your live.
I understand changing something as basic as what you eat is very difficult, and acknowledging our mistakes is even harder but you should try to be open-minded when your about to watch this documentary because, if you're not, it will be useless.
I really hope you enajoy this documentary as it should be, as a piece of valuable information for every single human out there.loading replies
Very well said! This is one of my favorite documentaries and was very influential on my journey to a plant based diet. So much great info contained in here and I recommend it to anyone interested in becoming healthier and disease proof. I also recommend Cowspiracy as a follow up that focuses on the environmental aspects that an animal heavy diet causes.
First of all I have to say that I never saw any of the other RoboCop films and I didn't know much about the story, just very few stuff. I've been reading bad reviews about this film, maybe because it has a huge number of fans and the idea of making a reboot was not pleasent. It's not a perfect film but since I had nothing to compare it with I can say that it was pretty entertaining, stylish and very cool to watch!
The action scenes are pretty good, the special effects are awesome and that's what a film like this is suppose to deliver but there's also a very strong and deep emotional touch that is not very common in this type of action flick. The film questions aspects about the meaning of humanity, conciousness, ethics, free will, politics and corruption so I think it tries to deliver some important messages to the audience and I liked that.
I guess the biggest problem with this film is that there's so much things going on at the same time! One of my major complaints about it is the background story. I would like to had seen explained more aspects of Alex Murphy investigation before his murder. Murphy and his partner Lewis had no chemistry. Due to the emotional charge that the film wants to provide, the personal family drama of Murphy's new life that is dragged along the whole story but not always works throughout the film.
Joel Kinnaman gives an emotional and pretty effective performance as Alex Murphy and as RoboCop. There's some awesome action scenes during the film but I think one of my favorite scenes, is a dialogue between Michael Keaton and Gary Oldman. Their performances were great! I really enjoyed Michael Keaton's performance, I think he stole every scene where he was in and Gary Oldman is always great, that man does nothing wrong.
Overall, RoboCop might be a disappointment for his loyal fans but for me, for the genre it was pretty decent.

I changed this to a review, thanks for contributing :) Now to watch the movie myself and see how I like it.
Just read some comments on reddit from people who have been to the advance screening of Gravity: http://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/1mabbd/so_i_just_went_to_an_advance_screening_of_gravity/
This is far and away the best-looking and most beautiful film I've seen in a very, very long time, and possibly ever. I can't remember the last time a movie literally took my breath away, and that's what Gravity managed to do. The long shots are unbelievable, as in you can't quite believe the shot has been going on that long. The 3D works seamlessly.What Cuaron has managed to capture on film is something that will be remembered and admired for a long, long time. I still can't completely believe what I just saw.
If this doesn't win the Oscars for cinematography, editing, sound design, and special effects, I will eat my own shoe. And nominations are in order for production design, director, and original score.Damn, I was a little hyped before, now I'm superhyped! This is a cinema-movie for sure, IMAX would be aaawesome!

I wonder if the story is good too? When I first saw the trailer for this, I didn't understand what it would be about. The more trailers I watched and more I read about Gravity, the more I wanted to see it. I'm planning to see it on the super widescreen here in town and it will be epic!
There is a scene after the credits, a pretty good one too!

Enjoyed it, but didn't like them replacing everyone from the first & killing off Duke right away. Also could've done better, nothing like the first one. Weak on story & The action.

I've seen Owen live one time headlining at a local comedy club. It was really good and he's a super talented piano player too. There was this heckler at our show and it was very awkward since the guy was a moron, but it turned out awesome and Owen and he become best buds by the end! I'm interested in checking this special out to see how it compares.

This special was very similar to the live show we saw, I'd say about 1/2 the jokes were new material for us. We enjoyed it, but I can definitely say being there in person was much funnier. You feed off the crowd and in our case it was an intimate venue and some great heckling that Owen handle brilliantly.

VIPOG14One of the more disturbing movies i have ever seen. That scene where those guys go underground to find someone and keep running into these gay sex scenes between guys was too horrific to watch. Also that rape scene with Monica Bellucci was just too real. It looked like they planted a hidden camera and waited for an actual rape to happen, it looked that real.
The movie is filmed in the same way as Memento was filmed, we see a few minutes of the movie and than it goes back to a few minutes before that.
This is certainly not a movie for the weak minded. If you are looking for something full with entertainment and fun than keep looking. This movie is not meant for you.
