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.
IF YOU THROW ANOTHER MOON AT ME I’M GONNA LOSE IT
That was cuuuuute and totally lived up to the book! Also aaaah that author cameo <3
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 :)
I wanted to love this so much, but it just felt... Empty. The characters didn't connect at all and the Fantastic Beasts themselves felt like an afterthought to the franchise they're actually trying to build.
Overall a watchable movie with some charming moments but damaged by a muddy story and atrocious pacing. I expected more from the HP universe.
Lemme alone!!! I just wanna work peacefully and mind my business...Pew pew pew aaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhhh I'm in toooo deep ppphhhffrrrrttt
i lveo this movie more than my mother i think
Fun movie. A lot more entertaining than what you would think a figure skating movie to be. Margot Robbie was great and Allison Janney was fantastic. I really enjoyed the music. I thought every time they break the fourth wall was a smart way to deal with conflicting point of views from the real life people and they were funny.
A film that rewards on repeat viewings, this has great performances from everyone, in particular Byrne and Spacey, and a script that is brilliantly constructed. It may well be more remembered for its final resolution which works well no matter how many times the film is dissected, but the dynamics between the "suspects" are fun to watch, with each of them bringing a distinct persona to the film that is memorable. John Ottman's score is also wonderfully atmospheric. A modern classic
Adverts made me doubt the film, didn't like the look of the Mandarin etc. But now that I've seen it..
Wow. Like seriously, wow. This was miles better than number 2, exceeded expectations by a shit tonne and even though there's only 3 I am totally content with saying this is one of the best Iron Man films I've ever seen.
Really well done, everything you expect to happen they turn it upside down and surprise you with raw Iron Man at its best. Loved this film, just really fucking well done.
A super hero villian who succeeds with their diabolical plan to destroy the world and ironically save it at the same time. WHAT? So much love for the creativity of this movie.
This movie is all about friendship, loyalty, greed and betrayal.
With its smart writing and solid acting (especially by Jesse Eisenberg) I can say that this movie is one of the greatest movies of the new century.
Wes Anderson = film genius
Not a lot happens but that may be the point. The final days of freedom before classes start, these young people party, hang out, practice baseball and play Space Invaders. Thankfully they are a likeable bunch of people so its not an endurance test as we hang out with them too. I can see why some people didn't like this film, as I said not a lot happens, there isn't a lot of dramatic momentum, but its fun and is an enjoyable way to spend the time as we for a couple of hours forget our own pressures.
This movie is good but it doesn't compare to 'Dazed and Confused' and I'm not sure why Linklater thought it was a good idea to market it as a "spiritual sequel" to that movie. 'Everybody Wants Some!!' doesn't have that much in common with 'Dazed.' It's a fine college comedy but not much more than that. The soundtrack is great and there are a number of interesting characters, but it all almost seems like a persiflage or parody of 'Dazed.' This movie certainly lacks the realism of 'Dazed,' which makes the latter movie so brilliant in my opinion. 'Everybody Wants Some!!' is a fine comedy but it's nowhere near the masterpiece that 'Dazed and Confused' is. I think it's pretty much impossible to recreate the brilliance of that movie.
The cinematography was beautiful but the story was a bit....bland, not bad, just a bit bland.
The acting was good but I wasn't quite satisfied with the ending.
He states "There is one question" and "only one answer is required." the question is "any questions " meaning (do you have) any questions. Yes or no is irrelevant. There can be any amount of answers but only one is REQUIRED. There is no right answer, no wrong answer. The paper was purely a clue, (and a distraction.) The entire movie is about attention to detail!
Whatever it was the writers were smoking, it had to be awesome.
High-Rise is basically just a huge mind fuck with a lot of beautiful shots and a story that's been told in a way that's really not easy to get. So you have to pay close attention to everything and let the mind fuck get the better of you.
I think the best way to describe it in detail is not to describe it at all.
Obviously this is an artsy, drug-induced reflection of today's society and all the gaps there are within, as well as a, on first glance, weird social experiment. But everything that's beneath this twisted surface is something that each and every viewer has to explore for themselves.
Is it a good movie? I have no idea.
Did I like it? I have no idea.
What's certain is that it definitely made some kind of impact on me, which is the only thing I can justify my rating with, aside from the beautiful and well-made production itself.
it's just to awkward the "relationship" between the bee and the woman like how...
it's VERY intense, but a great movie! tilda swinton and ezra miller are incredible actors.
Decent low budget sci-fi film. This could've been a good pilot for a TV series especially with that ending.
Pretty good film...pretty good film... pretty good film...pretty good film... pretty....sorry was stuck in a time loop for a minute. I enjoyed the film, decent story, but I felt as if I had seen it before.
