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.
I haven't had such fun since Guardians of the Galaxy! Providing non-stop wit, gorgeous cinematography, and an absolutely stellar cast, Ant-Man is another victory for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In this mocumentary you will learn that 1+1=7 and that there is not a conspiracy theory that MAGA people won't fall for!
Coincidence that Alexander Skarsgård — aka. Eric Northman — stars in this movie? I think not!
That's it world you don't need another flick about Jobs.. this is IT.
I'm telling you i've never loved a biopic as much as this before
Argo expertly builds tension and makes you wonder whether the mission will succeed. Enjoyable, Suspenseful and well-acted.
My god, this was so good. It was beautifully put together and I went from laughing to crying within seconds. This was a beautiful insight to the artist of the decade
It's so intentionally cheesy and cliche.... I LIKED IT!
I really don't see the benefits of the main characters actions in this movie. If they didn't care about the girl and left her there, those badass dudes already had a plan to catch the bad dudes, and they could all be alive and happy. Also, the sequence where the guy with the Pig's head shoots everyone it's just ridiculous.
The performance of the actors on the movie it's good, but the plot itself it's shitty.
What I learn from it? If I mind my own business, I'll be alright, and so will everyone else.
Flawed movie using unfounded data. No actual fraud found.
(+ also. this is the only movie I ever re-watched in it's entirety with the director's commentary track on, just to hear what Mendes was thinking and to prove my points to my girl :)
Assumptions at every level. For one, they say that the people filmed visited numerous drop boxes yet only show the video of said person only at 1 location.
People with half a brain should know almost everything in this movie has been debunked in an actual court of law. Just watch this as a fantasy documentary and you will be just fine.
Subtle, imaginative, and well-told story that doesn't rely on big-budget effects or a body count. Original, unique concepts weaved together for an enjoyable movie. If you're looking for high-tech space battles, fast-paced action and death -- this isn't that kind of SciFi -- move along... ;-)
Excellent sci-fi movie that requires an active brain to enjoy it... But I still wanted to know more about Portuguese! D:
I missed movies like this one
This is Sci-Fi at it's finest. An original and emotional exploration of the nature of language and time, and a masterfully done sequence of what a plausible non-extintion level first contact would look. Every element fits cohesively to build a strong atmosphere; music, cinematography, audio effects are top notch and will stick with me probably forever. I wanted to rewatch this move the moment it ended.
Cinematic masterpiece. I love everything about this movie.
One of my favourites of this year. Amy is such a treat. Denis Villenueve once again hits it out of the park. Love the music and drive notes. Amazing aliens. Wicked cool writing by aliens.
Superb film and just as good as pumping iron.
Mickey Rourke is brilliant as the narrator
Not understanding why this film is so highly rated! It's one of the worst films I've ever seen.
All this most likely shows is ballot harvesting, legal in many states. Gathering legal ballots from family and depositing them. Every state uses differen paper, envelopes,etc.. How mules got that is never discussed.
From Reuters: “Listing all of the steps needed to falsify a ballot, Gronke told Reuters: “1) You need a falsified ballot with a unique bar code, printed on special paper, and a special envelope. If the claim is that you’ve somehow obtained 400,000 original ballots without the elections officials or voters knowing, how precisely did you do this?
“2) You need to successfully forge the voter’s signature. 3) You need to deposit the envelope and have it validated by a local official.
“Congratulations! Besides committing a felony, you have now cast ONE fraudulent ballot. Now you need to figure out how to do that hundreds of thousands of times, in different jurisdictions, with different ballot styles and different voting materials.””
A poor performance from a great cast.
The script didn't help.
Wow. A must see for any fans of A Scanner Darkly and/or Grant Morrison.
Mediocre, at best
