If you're looking for an action and "turn brain off now" film, just don't watch it and spare us the 6-7 hearts review.
I for one, am very tired from 500$m crap like Indi Day and Marvel's poop. So I was very excited to watch this one.
This one is more like Spielberg's Encounters from the Third Kind. It's more about the characters in the film and the amazing journey they go through. It's mostly about the human behavior that will make you think.
While it's not an End of the World aliens movie like Battle: Los Angeles, it still offers great amount of military presence and plenty of stuff that's going on.
So if you actually want to care about an intelligent movie and use your head - go. Otherwise, go watch an X men.
Highly recommended for some audience 10/10.
2-feb-2017 edit: Just came out on Bluray and I saw it again. Definitely keeping my rating.
Watching again at July-2023, excited towards Dune II : Excellent. Excellent film. So called plot-holes listed here are negligible when the overall product is really thoughtful and masterfully crafted.
Bran: I can never be Lord of Winterfell, I can never be Lord of anything, I'm the Three-eyed Raven.
Also Bran: I'm the King.
SO SO GOOD! It was funny, scary and amazing! Who can hate on this film, it's much better then everyone thought it would be, maybe better than the originals! Not a perfect movie but it is a really strong 9.
This show is absolutely terrible. 4 episodes out of 6, still cant recommend.
I would rather shit in my hands and clap than watch this movie to the end.
This was the first movie I have ever walked out of the cinema after 45 minutes.
Making it in B&W. Why? It isnt clever or cool, just annoying.
The production value on this is visablly fucking insane. What a gorgeous show.
And with only 2 episodes out I am already hooked like haven't been by a show in a long time.
EDIT after full first season:
Damn, I'm disappointed right now. It started off so well with the first episode. But with each passing episode it felt more like two different shows. One on Trantor about Empire. Which was fucking amazing science fiction and mesmerizing to watch. But also one on Terminus about the Foundation itself. Which felt like a cheap SyFy spinoff in the same universe. Very bizarre.
Still an entertaining watch throughout but it could have been so much better.
BTW. I haven't read the books.
Is this supposed to be a comedy because I didn’t laugh once. It’s got that wry humor that’s more sarcastic and unnecessary than actually funny. That leaves what exactly? Good actors trying to muddle their way through green-screen sets with a pointless premise-of-the-week. It won’t appeal to scifi fans because its feels fluffy and it won’t appeal to earthers because its set in space. In short it’s a colossal misfire that I imagine will be rectified by a swift cancellation or new writers. Avoid like the plague got an STD.
Tried several times to watch pilot, every time gave up from boredom. Finally just trashed whole series without watching the rest of season.
Lady Olenna owns the title of Queen of Thornes even when she's dying! #RIPOlennaTyrell
what the fuck was up with that intro. was waiting desperately for it to stop. actually skipped ahead in the show after 5 minutes till Elliot is waking up in bed. Absolutely not needed intro and would have much rather preferred another 10 minutes of actual show and not 90s sitcom satire.
I’m sorry, but this was not a good opening. I don’t care for any of these characters and nobody really explained anything that’s going on prior to the accident. How the hell did nobody bring up the random dead body that she found stuck in the ship? Feel like that would bring up hundreds of questions. No one talked about it or anything, they all just brushed it off. This was a tough one to follow for sure.
I liked the film, even though logic was often sacrificed for effect. For example: G.H. reaches the beach and discovers a wristwatch sticking out of the sand. He uncovers the watch and discovers an arm. He looks up and sees the body of a pilot belonging to the arm. He continues to look around and sees that there are bodies and debris all over the beach, including huge pieces of debris from the plane. The effect was nice, but of course you would have seen the debris and the bodies immediately, and not discovered the watch first.
Slow episode, felt like just a filler :pensive:
I totally understand that a lot of time, effort, and emotional energy would have been invested in the pregnancy reveal, but the reality is it didn't work. They should have cut it and found another way.
(To be more specific, the way it played out in a physical sense just didn't make any logical sense; as an actor she had to wait for the action—the movement and sound—to end before she could speak, or neither we nor the people she's speaking to hear her, but it makes no sense for her to do that IRL, of course, because once she realised everyone was looking at her she would not have revealed this information.)
Beautifully shot but writers have butchered the characters, really disappointed.
The "Behind Enemy Lines" slow motion explosions scene was so ridiculous. We all know nothing will happen to June. She has plot armor! And worst of all was the cover song of a Coldplay song. barf
The writing of the first act alone and the confusion over the protagonist was magnificent to me. I had an absolute blast in the theater with this one.
I was very enthused about this once I heard it was Lindlehoff at the helm. The Leftovers is one of my all time favorites, and this series promises to be a deep dive thematically with him at the helm. The series opener is as smart and interesting as I expected, but I was happy to see that it delivers on the action elements, as well. Very solid beginning - I'm psyched to see where it goes.
looking for a good short show to watch? look no further! the cast and the acting is ON POINT! the music, the editing, the cinematography, the story, ITS ALL A+!! everything about this show is amazing! a must watch!
These ladies are HILARIOUS! I really enjoyed watching this. I laughed out loud a whole bunch of times and really love the actors in these particular roles. I can already see several long-term quotable lines coming from it. Chris Hemsworth was also a riot.
While it's probably technically a remake, this movie has its own original plot and its own original characters. I'm glad for that. I loved the nods to the original without (always) hitting you over the head with it. Keep an eye out for some old friends.
Having said that, the movie does drag a bit around the 2/3 mark before kind of getting its mojo back for the finale. And make sure you stick around through the credits (which go by surprisingly quickly)!
There are going to be people who will hate this no matter what. But don't pre-judge this movie based on the trailer. Give it a chance and you may laugh as hard as I did.
Martha is insanely annoying. Why would Donny keep giving her free drinks? He's at fault here too. She's a psy**opath. But, if he would have told her right away, that she's crossing every damn line... It wouldn't have escalated like this.

I changed my rating six times between 9 and 10 before finally settling on 10 - which I wish would say less about how much I tend to overthink and more about how surprisingly good and exciting this episode was. It's a perfect pilot for a teen series and then some, and it has got me pumped up for the rest!
But it's a sitcom above all and I can hardly ever stay committed to one. So we'll see how long it takes me now to finish this.:unamused:
"Why tell a deadman the future?"
I couldn't have asked for a more fitting finale for this "piece of an art" mini-series. The bar was set high. It could've been either like the GoT finale or Breaking Bad finale. So glad they stayed consistent from start to finish. Undoubtedly, this ranks among the greatest miniseries ever produced.
Many people may be dissatisfied with the finale if they expected to watch an all-out war, which contradicts the entire idea of the show.
One of the most captivating shows of the decade ended with this episode. I can’t sing Shogun enough praise. What an absolute masterpiece.
Maybe they’ll continue it, maybe they won’t. I know I’ll be following the crew to see what they do next.
Nymphia served looks, but nothing more than that across the entire season.
Are you kidding me? This crap has ~90% on Rotten Tomatoes?
Gould's Marlowe is an unfunny, mumbling, bumbling, obnoxious, cringy idiot. They replaced the signature crime noir protagonist speaking from the off with this guy speaking to himself no matter if there are people around or not. He's a clown in need of psychological help.
The plot is full of things that make no sense. Marlowe running after Eileen and getting hit by a car, ends up in hospital? What? Why? Waste of time. Verringer hitting Roger in the face and Roger not killing him in return? Ridiculous. Augustine never laying a hand on Marlowe after all the sht he says? Yeah, sure. Marlowe knowing somebody brought the money and who it was? GTFO!
The only top 10 seconds of the movie was the final scene with the hammock. And even that got ruined by the ridiculous harmonica dance nonsense that followed it.
In conclusion: I had hoped for a hard-boiler crime noir thriller for adults, and got some kind of clown fiesta for kids.
This episode was way too silly compared to the first two, cartoonish actually. Did they already run out of ideas?
