The real question is why the hell did the guy charge money for snacks at the white house?
On the surface this film is about a group of people who have been labelled “villains”, working together to save the world. But really, this film is about one man and one man alone, he isn’t strong, but yet he defies all odds and sacrifices his life to save his friends. His only power is his bravery, he is the driver of the van and the main character of this film, Milton.
Funny as shit. And then sad as hell when you realize it's basically just a documentary.
The chemistry between Favreau, Leguizamo and Emjay Anthony is amazing; just so natural.
It's the best thing Leguizamo, who I generally run hot and cold on, has done in a very long time. Perfect casting of a fantastic film.
Crank up the wonderful soundtrack, get in the kitchen and cook something!
amazing movie
Conan!!!..What is best about trakt? ..Crush the bad reviewers..see them driven before you..and hear the lamentation of the women!
No drama + no chemistry + no romance = empty movie.
What an incredibly depressing and unsatisfying story. What’s the point of bothering to go back to Jupiter? So you can give birth to some child destined to live and die alone with no hope to escape? Is this some artsy take on the futility of life?
I truly think it's the best film of the decade. Actors, story, action, music, etc. are all masterfully used to tell an engaging story I enjoy on each viewing.
Overall ok movie. CGI is pretty bad. Crazy unrealistic fight/shootout scenes.
Still holds up really well over 20 years later, and even more relevant now.
One of the most depressing films I have ever seen in my entire life. I do not recommend this one to anyone emotionally struggling during the pandemic. Awful, awful ending.
Omg what a shitty movie. It is like a wet dream of 12 year old boy playing in his room with car toys. 0 sense, stupid story, weak jokes that you can see a mile away coming. Why did I watch it? Lost time
Star Trek V: The Final Shit
A complete waste of time.
This movie is just a mix of scenes from others movie, mashed up, shaked up, blended, then boom, here you go fast 8.
Explosions, explosions, bad jokes, explosions, more explosions, physics ? lol, why bother, using brain ? why bother !?
Every fast and furious movie is a disappointment, since the 4 which was done with a CGI budget of 5$.
Not gonna give this franchise another chance... wasted.
1 & 3 were pretty good, 2 acceptable, theeeeen, total bullsh*t
It's always seemed to me that Star Trek (The Original Series) worked far better as films than it did as a television show. On the other hand, The Next Generation flourished on the small screen, and had a much rougher time when it made the transition to the cinema.
Generations is a dumb film, but it's an entertaining one. It's got a languid pace at times, but it manages to be somewhat enthralling. The correct decision was made early on to have feature both the classic and modern cast as a way to pass the baton from one generation to the next, but almost all the story decisions following that were stupid ones.
Fortunately, the film doesn't take itself mega seriously, and the opening section on board the Enterprise-B is exciting and full of humour. Once the transition is made to the "present day" Next Gen crew, things just become a bit dull. The film assumes knowledge of these characters and gives us only the lightest of introductions to people like Data and Geordi. Worf, Troi and Crusher barely get a look in. Riker is there a lot but doesn't do much, so this is all about Picard. And Patrick Stewart does admittedly give a great performance, particularly in regards to the heavily emotional stuff he has to do concerning the loss of his family.
For a fan, the film gives us a lot of story points to work with which will resonate because we were introduced to them in the TV series (Picard's family, Lursa and B'Etor, Data's emotion chip), but I'd imagine if you were coming in to this cold then a fair bit would be lost on you.
It's also something of a character assassination that doesn't really respect the TV characters we've come to love. Data suffers greatly here, with the emotion chip changing him entirely and without much of a process behind it, but it's really Picard who is ruined. I don't believe for a second that his idea of a perfect life is to live in some Victorian-era perfect family world, with bad actors for children. He's an adventurer and explorer at heart.
The Nexus is just a dumb creation. It makes no sense. How characters interact with it makes no sense. The convoluted plot tells us that the evil Soran can't find his way back into it without killing millions of people, yet the opening sequence of the film clearly showed us that you just need to take a ship in (the ship will probably be destroyed, but you could get out before then).
Once he decides to leave the Nexus, Picard and Kirk travel back in time to the stupidest moment. Why not go much earlier? Or even an hour earlier? They could have made things a lot simpler for themselves.
But, just roll with it. The film has some great action moments and is a fun adventure. It also has some emotional impact as Captain Kirk finally meets his end (although, not in a very interesting or satisfying way). The Enterprise-D is also destroyed, which is kind of heart wrenching, and a fantastically put together sequence.
In fact, in terms of visuals I find it hard to fault. It's amazing to see the sets upgraded for a feature film, beautifully lit and in full widescreen with extra details. The special effects are magnificent too, and I love the use of practical models over CG. It just looks great and I find myself wishing that modern films would take a bit of inspiration from the on-screen clarity of 1990s film making.
So does Alex have a little chocolate muffin the oven or not?
I like it, takes me back to when everything in life was simple :)
Good action flick with the most absurd conversations during the first 20 minutes and some plot holes. Get past that and you have a solid 7/10 movie
It attempts to walk a line between comedy and horror but never quite reaches either. The threat the Oath poses is never well defined enough for us to understand what the big fuss is about on either side.
Two major problems stand out: 1. there's no way NASA (or another space agency) wouldn't have sent a probe or manned mission AS SOON as Earth 2 came into view (as opposed to waiting almost 4 years like in the movie); & 2. you can't just give your seat on an interplanetary space ship (and incredibly important mission) to a person of your choosing if you decide not to go. It was hard to look past these plot holes, so it gets 3/5 from me.
Was a bit repetitive. Could have been shorter and still have gotten the message.
