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$m crap like Indi Day and Marvel's poop. So I was very excited to watch this one.
This one is more like Spielberg's Encounters from the Third Kind. It's more about the characters in the film and the amazing journey they go through. It's mostly about the human behavior that will make you think.
While it's not an End of the World aliens movie like Battle: Los Angeles, it still offers great amount of military presence and plenty of stuff that's going on.
So if you actually want to care about an intelligent movie and use your head - go. Otherwise, go watch an X men.
Highly recommended for some audience 10/10.
2-feb-2017 edit: Just came out on Bluray and I saw it again. Definitely keeping my rating.
Watching again at July-2023, excited towards Dune II : Excellent. Excellent film. So called plot-holes listed here are negligible when the overall product is really thoughtful and masterfully crafted.
This movie will be enjoyed best by 13-16 year old boys. Its a children's movie.
Its 100m$ on CGI and 1000$ on script and story. You can guess the whole movie from the first 5 minutes, it has all the worst used up cliche's in the book.
The first movie made much more sense from the actions the characters took. Here, they're all idiots (humans and aliens).
If you choose to watch it, expect only normal level of GFX and nothing else. If you're looking for gripping storytale - move along sir, nothing to see here.
barely 5/10.
How relevant has this movie has become now eh?? After watching it again now (first time on release date), man this is almost exactly what's going on out there!
Boy this is so stupid and ridiculous I couldn't believe the characters take themselves so serious and boy they so do!! MNS , you suck dude, just give up already. Ready who greenlits these movies unbelievable..
Don't waste you time, just don't.
is it really that bad?
Declared at 2015, Stalled since 2016. Probably this won't see the light of day.
Kajaki is unique in a way that it takes place in a very short timeframe- only a few hours in one day. There are no bad guys, just guys.
It's gripping and emotional, and at a point very depressing.
If you like war movies, watch this. But note that's It's not an action film, but a drama.
It's up to you to decide if it's anti-war or not . But a good story it is.
I recommend.
Just be prepared for some heavy British and Scottish accent.
I didn't hear anything about this movie prior to watching, didn't knew it even existed, so I got it with no expectations.
It's a sweet sci fi romance movies that reminded me of Gataca and Equilibrium in some aspects (Equals isn't an action movie).
I really related to the characters and actually cared for them and wanted them to succeed. Hoult is one of my favorites and both he and Stewart did a great job creating a calm but intense and very intimate and discreet atmosphere.
I recommend for both sci fi lovers and romantics, men or women.
My birthday wish is that this will be good
This movie is a prequel to The Handmaid's Tale.
If you watch it thinking so, it makes much more sense.
Stupid rediculus piece of sh*t incoherent movie, huge waste of time
Ohh such an expensive piece of crap this is
(Obviously financed by that shit Chinese company) masterfully created by Emmerich, king of flops.
If plot holes disturb you, be aware! Your OCD will scream while watching this.
I guess also Oscar winners such Hally Barry have to pay the bills..
Easily one of the stupidest movies you'll ever watch.
Uhhhh such a waste of time I can't believe it!!!!!! Of u must watch it do it on double speed or just scroll right through!! I'm so bummed I saw the entirety of this!! :sob::sob::sob::sob:
I was hoping for more than i got.
This movie takes place in a period of 3-4 days and involves about 5-10 soldiers characters. Its mostly about how they feel and what they think, and very little about actual action sequences.
It comes off better as a book or play, but unfortunately, its not so strong as a movie.
I was really looking forward for a WWI epic, but its only a small story.
Recommended if you like war movies. I wish i could give it an 8, but it's a 7.
I'm sorry but I just don't get it.
Nothing happens in the entire film. You could easily edit it to 10 slow minutes and experience everything, so I guess the 2:40 hrs is the joke on viewer's account.
You'll enjoy it best by leaving it on to play on your TV while you're folding laundry, washing dishes etc.
Don't sit down and watch.
I gonna call here that the king is naked.
Boy did Jesse Plemons got phat xD
this is a normal movie in no way. the story is not straight forward and i went online afterwards to read what it was about. it's all metaphorical and ideas, and not a plot like we are used to. it's in the genre of The Fountain, Tree of Life, Knight of Cups, etc.
Its really a love it or hate it film. If you're just into casual watching - don't watch this one.
I didn't like it.
I actually went into this movie with the idea that's it's an historic piece about actual events!
Just imagine my surprise when aliens started showing up. I seriously considered turning it off, but I stayed.
Although this doesn't fit the recent works of either Damon nor Pascal, i enjoyed their batter and lightness. The action is nice and doesn't take itself too seriously, and most important - the characters aren't dumb!
So overall, just tune yourself before watching it, take it easy, and I believe you'll enjoy. Especially if you don't have anything else to watch - but don't clear out your day for this.
For me, watching this the one time only is enough. 7/10.
This one is just another Marvel blabber. You won't find anything special here. Usually, the X-men series pack some story and intrigue into the film, maybe some schemes or few story lines.
This one here is just the action sequence following to all American default storyline - good guys, problem, bad guy loses, end. 10% story, which contributes very little to the Xmen universe.
As you are probable a fan of GoT I guess, you will enjoy seeing our dear Sophie Turner on screen. But that's not enough. Also, Dolby Atmos is fun.
I was disappointed walking out of the theater.
So basically once again a drunken Tyrion Lannister send a Snow to the night's watch?
This movie is what happens when mommy and daddy aren't home and the young kids are left all alone at home, with a big box of crayons and a welcoming white wall.
A whole big mess !!
It's like long episode of Criminal Minds
its a very light movie with some chuckles. dont expect anything special but if you like Gervais, you'll probable nod positively to this one. goes down the throat smoothly.
Really bad. Same routine of the last 10-15 years, nothing new. Jokes about when he was in the 60's , joke about cellphones when they came out 15 years ago.
Man I love that U knew when to retire. Do it again.
I feel kind of cheated watching that movie. It's kinda useless and exhausting and I think the end isn't worth the trip.
I didn't like the beginning and middle of movie but kept watching to see the end. If you also find yourself in this position, simply stop watching.
I'm not recommending.
I'm 34 and extremely hard to satisfy with comedies and non-drama movies. If something doesn't make sense it ruins the movies for me and I'll give bad review.
In this one, not at all! I was entertained the entire movie! I doesn't take itself seriously and there are great self-awareness moments. Everybody did a good job, and my wife and I had lots of fun.
Easy 8/10.
Very recommended for everybody!
I honestly don't know what this movie was about.
It started and I guess also ended, but there wasn't much of something in between.. :/
Better treat this one as a better than average softcore erotic flick than a mediocre scifi one.
It's mostly pretty girls and so-so actors. Not recommended.
But hey - all white actors at least no wokeness at all!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
While this movie has great production value, good talent and the plot synopsis promisee great potential, the movie is overall underwhelming and did not make an impact on me. I'm a huge fan on war films genre, but this one is quite forgettable unfortunately.
6/10.
I've given up on American comedies a long time ago because of those sheer stupidity. But this one I did watch and I'm very glad I did! I actually enjoyed it and had a good time! Great actors both, did a nice job and made the flick nice and fun.
I recommend, even if you don't believe in comedies anymore.
