great movie. give it a try.
@dunpealhunter: nice =) well: http://www.flickr.com/photos/swatchonphotos/7337829612/in/photostream
nice ending. don't u think so? =)
Its quite an entertaining movie with a few laughs. Not a waste of time so give it a shot. :)
I only watched this movie, because I like Aubrey Plaza so much.
Her character in "Parks and Recreation" is one of my favorites (after Ron Swanson of course^^), and this movie was really fun to watch.
Not the very best, but okay.
Is it really a comedy movie? Hmm. I didn't laughed too much. Sometimes it's so serious to be a comedy movie.
Well if you got nothing else to do and doing the laundry - watch it. But definitly not worth watching a 2nd time.
A horror movie?
Well, it was really boring.
2nd comment on this: I don't know, why this movie got rated so bad. It is much better than expected. There are quite a few laughs, and its much better than recently "comedy" movies. I suggest give it a try, it is def. not a waste of your time.
I am very happy, when a movie is gonna surprise me.
In this case exactly that happened - but I don't want to put spoilers here.
What I can say is, that you definitely should watch this movie. There are wonderful pictures of the country, good acting of all actors and actresses. The introduction of the characters do not take that long and you will not get bored this movie, because it is exciting. I was not aware that the islands of Hawaii are that beautiful. It reminded me of some sceneries of Harry Potter and / or Lord of the Rings.
Trakt says, that it is a action movie... well I would say that is kind of true but it is more a thriller that an action movie. When I read action movie, I always thinking of big explosions and such stuff.. That is something that is not gonna happen here.
What I did not like was the backflash which took place to explain some things. One the one hand, if you watched it attentively you do not need that long backflash, because you already know what is gonna happen, and on the other hand I don't like backflashes as an instrument to explain things. There are other ways to do this.
Well I give it 7 out of 10 points.
You gonna have to know that I am not a big fan of Vince Vaughn for no special reasons. Sometimes you like actors, sometimes not.
So I watched this movie with the prejudice, that it would be some stupids Hollywood comedy production, where all his kids are following him everywhere, making trouble and so on.
It was a pleasant surprise, that this was not the case! Honestly I was enjoying this movie. Vince Vaughn's acting was not so bad (well that was a surprise), and the writers of this movie really got a little bit into, how it is like to be the father of hundreds of kids and they developed a whole different story of what I did expected.
Trakt says it is a comedy - well kinda it is a comedy movie, but not a crappy, stupid one. I give this movie 7 out of 10 Trakt hearts because it was good; but not worth watching a second time.
So if you have nothing else to do in the evening, watch it and you will not regret it at all if you want to have "okay" comedy entertainment with some deeper thoughts in it. =)
Do you also get more excited when at the beginning of a movie you gonna learn it is based on a true story?
I do.
How did Joseph Gordon-Levitt got so many muscles.
Well - I like it :D
If I would ve watched this movie as a kind, my mind would have blown. Wow =)
I watched this movie not in English, because I was afraid that I won't understand the Irish accent. I think that was a great decision.
Well - the plot is simple: horrific aliens want to settle down on a small island, and they need blood and water to survice - but they are allergic to alcohol. What a fortune for the irish people - all they have to do is to get drunk to beat the aliens. Whohooo!
And there is also a new girl in "town"; a police officer who is usually not into drinking. But u bet: she got really drunk in this movie, and about after half of the movie she likes her colleague as well.
Nice movie though; nothing really new. But at an evening if you got nothing else to do - give it a try; especially if you like Shaun of the Dead (which is much better ofc).
I wasn't aware that Ulrich Seidl got his own movie production company.
It makes sense, that this movie isn't standard. It is disturbing, strange and really great to watch.
Give it a try :)
Better than expected.
Rly some funny scenes in it :)
There are far more worse comedy movies out.
This was a nice movie, which I enjoyed a lot.
If you expect an action based movie: It is not. And that is good. I have seen enough of that world ending movies with an high budget, endless explosions and animation and a poor plot. As u maybe already read in the description, some college friends came together on the country side, and the world is gonna end but that is not the reason why they got there - they came there for other reasons. So no panic travel to the countryside.
They are all intellectual, they wanna resolve problems, they do not panic, they smoke some weed (but not in a stupid way), they are emotional in an interpersonal way: They are realistic! It felt the way, that would be a scenario how my friends and I would behave in such a weird situation that the world is gonna end.
Well I have to say that it isn't a low budget production, but it felt that way kinda. The acting of all characters were pretty good, the pictures not that amazing. You will not get bored so you maybe have to skip some scenes. The dialogues are not the very best.
If you like this movie, I suggest you also should try this one (which is better by the way).
Is it fair that I compare the pictures on the ocean of "Life Of Pi"" with "All Is Lost"?
I am not really sure about it. But if you would, the picture of "Life of Pi" would be better.
The pretty old Robert Redford alone on an ocean with his boat. There nearly no dialogues. I am pretty sure that there are less then 200 words spoken. And I did not got bored. That is not easy to do something.
Redford did an amazing performance in this movie - if not his best. At least for a long time.
I never heard about this movie. I just stumbled over it, because I found a suggested trailer.
And that was a trailer which was interesting - so I gave the movie a try and did not regret it.
The concept is fresh - or it is just me because I have not seen something like this before. The (strange) teacher is making mind games with his pupils, and you gonna see what they are thinking.
They all want to survive, they are all well educated and they all want to rebuild mankind's civilization, after many nuclear bombs are falling down from the sky. But they are something about 20 people, and only ten get into the bunker to take shelter - so they have to decide who will not get it. That is the main plot.
This might sound boring, but it was not. It was really nice to see how they react to some different situations. And I did not get bored, because they rebooted the mind game too often.
What I did not like was, that the ending was pretty obvious. At least for me not that big surprise.
I suggest you gonna watch this movie - because it is "nice" to do it and no waste of time. :D
I never had such a big problem with rating a movie - but Ender's Game is really hard to rate.
It feels strange that a kid is taking the control over a whole fleet. But on the other side I am happy to see new plots. If you change the character of Ender to an adult, you get a plot seen plenty times, because it is just the way of an underdog, working his way up and getting a leader and fighting a big battle.
Kids making the military stuff like "Sir this, Sir that", saluting etc.
Those are things, what kids shouldn't doing - at least in our society. But maybe it only feels strange to me, because I am an adult. Who knows.
Don't slap me, but in my mind I always compared it with http://trakt.tv/movie/wargames-1983 ... For sure a completely different plot - but there is also mankind future on stake in the hand of a kid. But in this movie it feels right. In Ender's Game not. The explanation why kids are doin' this, is just not enough explained or too weak.
Anyway I love the special effects, I like the characters and actors. I never got bored watching this movie - and this is what I expect from a movie. Not getting bored. The end wasn't really the big surprise and a little bit weak - but I don't want to spoiler here
Definitely a movie I am gonna watch a 2nd time.
7/10 hearts
Well, I had no idea of the plot when I watched this movie. But I knew that it is something about blood - just by looking at the cover. ;)
I personally think it was a good remake. I did not get bored during watching, the characters were nice ... and the "Teenie" part was not toooo much. -The ending was good.
I am a little disappointed of this movie. Only a little.
It is part of a trilogy. I have already seen "Paradise Love" which was much more better. Ulrich Seidl (also) wants to shock with his movies, but nothing big happened there, but maybe just my expectations were to high.
When I compare it to Paradise Love, then I have to say that Ulrich Seidl is working with more pictures and less text. Usually its both shocking: the pictures and the text. But here I miss the text.
The movie was much more better in the beginning when she wants so missionize some random people in Vienna. After her husband got on the screen, I was annoyed of the plot that he is Muslim and her husband, and she his a hardcore catholic-person. I think it would be better if the plot would have gone into a different direction.
However I have to say that Maria Hofstätter is a great actress! I can recommend to watch this movie, but if you never have been in touch with Ulrich Seidl, you might consider to watch "Import / Export" first, then move on to "Paradise: Love" and then watch this movie.
I give that movie 7 out of 10 points.
This movie is a good remake from a fairy tale, with a little bit of a love story in it:
A poor farm boy falls in love with a princess. The farm boy is getting magic beans and voilà: giant roots of a plant out of the beans are growing, and so they visit the home of the bad-boy giants.
Since you know the fairy tale, you won't get any big surprises in this movie though. But that doesn't really matter if you watch this movie if you got nothing else to do in the evening. Good animated giants and the acting was also good. It seems Nicholas Hoult is getting more and more popular (He was also the main actor in the recent released movie "Warm Bodies") - and thats what I really appreciate.
But you also won't get bored watching this movie because its really entertaining!
Have fun. =)
Ha! At the beginning the daughter is making her driver license. It was crystal clear that she gonna drive in the movie again. Like hell I might add.
And it was soooo annoying as he always said: "Go. Drive. Faster!" And she: "I can't! I can't!
Well. Repeating that about 20 times? Hahaha!
The movie was okay, I guess. Many action scenes, some nice pictures from the roof-tops, nothing surprising in this movie.
If you are a biker/skater you gonna have to love that movie. There are so many action scenes where the bikes are riding like hell. Even if you are not you gonna like it - I guess.
(And I am not biker - I ride a motor bike btw).
The pursuit scenes suggests that if you ride a bike in New York City its like war out there. Haha. Sometimes like in Vienna ;)
The plot is very simple, not many surprises in it: a bad cop wants the package. The package is important for a young woman, Gordon-Levitt doesn't want to give away the "package", so he is the hero and get some help from his friends.
No unnecessary Hollywood-Style love scenes in it. Thumbs up.
Even if I am not a big fan of Joseph Gordon-Levitt because he's just so boy-like, he's done a good job in Premium Rush. The whole plot reminds me of the movie called Transporter. So if u like that you gonna love that movie too. Instead of a car they are using a bike.
I give Premium Rush a "Good", however not worth to watch it a 2nd time because there is nothing new in it but it's okay to watch it on an evening if u got nothing else to do.
Some nice laughs in it.
I think this wasn't a typical Bourne movie. It seemed more closer to the reality than the previous ones. Just like in the new James Bond movies Aaron Cross isn't the super agent who cannot be hurt and is bullet proof.
I hope there will be another Bourne movie.
I haven't watched it in 3D. The movie was okay - nothing new, but defiantly the worst of all Men in Black movies.
I really liked this movie. =)
Okay.
After I watched this movie about 10 minutes I felt like I already have seen this movie. But I wasn't right.
The US produced the same movie in 2012. And the plot is the same, sometimes the camera positions are the same... it is pretty crazy.
Said that, I suggest you better watch this "version" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGoe7BdGdlg instead of this one.
Because the only reason why you wanna watch this movie is, that you gonna have some nice action scenes in it - and Red Dawn (2012) is much better as this one.
