So if you are expecting Matrix 4, that's not it. They are making Matrix franchise into a cinematic Universe and starting with this regurgitation of the previous movies that zoomer audience haven't seen before. There were a couple of moments I liked, but mostly it's a collection of bad decisions for writing, directing and editing. Hopefully, a Disney+ interquel series about this main middle school looking crew searching for Neo will do better by having much less expectations attached to it.
The freaking neighbours above me won't stop dropping crap. Of all the nights, it had to be after this movie. I never hated them so much in my life. It's my neighbours, ok. Just neighbours.
I enjoyed pretty much every aspect of this movie. Even though I am not a huge fan of gore, body horror here was pretty well made and the cinematics left just enough to get the point across without being puke-inducing. The plot kept me in the movie well and I got more than enough info about what's going on (not sure what some commenters are talking about, maybe they don't get the idea of cosmic horror?)
A modern horror take on a classic trash, I guess? Feels like a too long first chapter of a trash horror - a lot of build up and very little payoff at the very end, which imo misses the mark of a good trash film by a long shot. It's probably not the worst of the genre either, but I don't know who could be a perfect audience for this one ... if they even exist.
Besides the horrific relationship the main couple has, pretty much all of the horror in this movie relies on shock exposures to gore that you can count on one hand. Admittedly, the gore is well done, but other than that - the movie is just weird.
Drug use visuals are well done, but if you aren't interested in waiting a couple of hours for just a couple of scenes where you can see them, you can skip this film. Certainly skip director's cut and save at least half an hour.
1973 checks out. Trying to be psychedelic and stoner-level deep. When you are high, "the ball is round" is deep, profound even. And then you sober up and see this laced nonsense.
Anything spiritual in the movie is surface-level and does not deserve association. You certainly won't learn anything new, might even get dumber by the end.
Speaking of associations, never have I appreciated Humane Associations more in my life.
Some shots were nice, liked the babes, loved the baby robot for some reason lol
If you are planning on watching this, I'd stick to regular porn. Although, if you go in expecting a crappy B movie, you might enjoy the sudden too high budget of it.
There is something very wrong with this movie, the first half I was only thinking about why it felt so off. I think it's the combination of subpar acting, weird dubbing and atrocious lines. "Was this generated by a computer?" was my first reaction - it's as if the scriptwriter never interacted with real humans and has only a vague idea of us. Even if the words weren't robotic by itself, what, how and when they talk about stuff is completely unrelatable. Even their names are made up gibberish! haha
Once the action kicked in, it didn't bother me as much, I was more focused on breaking apart the logic for the paranormal stuff and it's portrayal, for which I still have some gripes even after they tried to robotically explain some aspects away.
There is only one piece that lifted this out of the trash pile for me - the cave scene, which in my eyes could have a place in a hall of fame for horror or whatever. The rest of the movie is just building scenery and backstory for these beautiful 15 seconds. Oh, there were also a couple of nice butts too :thumbsup:
Idk how the creature got the crew so easily, they seem just as resilient to everything. I mean, they ought to be, seeing how there is a clear path for the alien from thrusters on the outside to the leg of a guy inside, meaning they are in vacuum at all times :D Which is also confirmed by the scene where Sho effortlessly opens the door to the compartment where the creature was locked supposedly in a vacuum and proceeds to fly inside without any breathing/freezing/boiling/exploding problems.
And then there are things like sound in space, and the amazing drooping broken hand, which droops [twice] in a place with no gravity..
At least in the end everyone on the planet dies, which felt like a good ending :)
How is this 70%? lol
Wow, people in closed space killing each other, how original. Waste of time unless you get off on gore, you psycho
awesome trash slasher, hit all the good spots :thumbsup:
The Japanese parts are AMAZING, the rest is meh. So, F,J,L,Z out of the whole alphabet holding up the whole movie.
Not usually into westerns, but this one I can get behind. Mostly just had issues with the language mix
I was playing on my phone while watching it, but it was decent
Right up my alley, loved it! -1 star for her littering on that park bench
The scariest part was when that girl sat on a toilet and simultaneously brushed her teeth and clipped her toenails. What kind of a monster would do this?!
So a freaking dinosaur with teeth the size of a finger chomps on your arm, flails and throws you(a huge man) around by said arm, and not only did your arm not detach, explode or become ground beef - not a mark was left and you use that arm to straddle the dinosaur and kill it. Just to add to the mountain of gripes for this movie :)
I liked the alien design a lot. Most plot holes and questions I had throughout got resorted by the end, even if I had to use a bit of imagination. Quite a few dumb decisions by both humans and aliens, but I got better at handling these by thinking of every movie as a single branch in an infinity of possibilities - now it's realistic and it's only a single mediocre decision by the writers who chose this particular branch. It was ok.
This is a sci-fi snack, not a dinner. Don't go into it expecting the best of the best, it feels more like an indie short film. I watched it without any expectations and enjoyed it :thumbsup:
Interesting. Felt like the movie was a story being told by Martin. I might be tripping, but the only emotions I noticed throughout the movie were very displayatory(if that's a word lol) - haha means funny, tears mean sadness - something a person like Martin can easily replicate and actually understand, unlike other more subtle ones we are used to. Having actors that are known to be "good actors" play so dead pushes this point further for me. But maybe dead actors are just for a part of creepy atmosphere, because the rest of the movie doesn't seem that deep.
I felt the story falls apart about 2/3 in, right after we get the main gist -when the mother started listening to an obviously insane 16 year old, taking everything as absolute truth and playing along with almost the same level of insanity. I get why the little kids get this hysteria, but why the parents who are both doctors think it's all some fucking curse that only affected their kids is beyond me. Use WebMD if you are that bad at your profession ffs. So, is the epilogue painting the whole family insane of just plain dumb? Or is the curse real and just happens to have the same effects as you get when not moving and not eating for a week(which would be kind of a dumb curse)? Either way the last 40+ minutes were pure cringe for me - like screaming at a character of a slasher to not go into the woods without a flashlight but about curses -, which is too bad for a movie that for the first half felt like the best horror I would have seen.
This was much more than I bargained for. I was expecting some ok B-movie, but this is amazing!
A lot of detail there, pay attention!
Shoutout to my fresh existential crisis.
I was enjoying it until like 60% in, then it went back to being trash like the second part.
Good to see them embracing the funny - after part 2 being so hilariously bad, at least now they have a comedy genre as an excuse.
You know what's deadlier than John Wick? The cars in this movie. Literally not a single airbag went off, surprising that they even reached locations where they die.
I found this movie pretty fun. Compared to previous two movies, this one is much more like the original while also taking freedoms to expand on some ideas. A bit more is shown, which is a move away from the first movie, but I also feel like it would be incredibly hard to not disappoint the audience by showing nothing the second time - it would just be the same movie, in HD.
I had a couple of gripes: some cheap jumpscares, characters supposedly having a moment by staring at cameras on their ears like they are each other's eyes, and especially with pointing flashlights at cameras and overuse of bright glitches in a movie that's pitch black. (That's not even how digital glitches work, chill.)
At the same time, there are cool moments, a good mix of different ways of scaring you and the jumpscares aren't preceded by an annoyingly obvious low tone - which is a big win in my books. Worth a watch :thumbsup:
Visually very well made, anxiety inducing. Had to google the explanation though and the whole metaphor was absolutely lost on me while watching. The fact that the creator himself says it's all up to interpretation and it's not really set in stone while also having the movie seemingly be extremely specific at points, certainly doesn't help in this regard.
Having read what they were going for, I can see what they were going for. It's an interesting movie, creative. "It's different" is how I feel about it in the end.
Severely overrated. Most of the 3 boring hours is a small dick compensation competition that leaves you with the face of Al Pacino - glazed over eyes and an open mouth on the verge of drooling. I honestly can't tell if the main character was written this way or if Pacino is one of the worst actors ever, he could certainly be the big star of The Room 2. Thanks for the cool one liner though.
The whole caravan gang is how I imagine Twilight having never seen it; add Stargirl or another teen superhero series into it; sprinkle some mental gymnastics to say it's been about The Shining the whole time; and you get Doctor Sleep.
I feel like this would be better separate from The Shining. Make it another story about superheroes/vampires, don't pull a classic into this.
All these references, throwbacks and trying to tie it in with The Shining... Seems like all of that was added afterwards as a cheap attempt to make it sellable - otherwise, very little people would care for it.
It was ok-ish if you discount The Shining. If you don't discount it, it's a disappointing money grab by Stephen adopted into a movie form.
Had to rewind multiple times cause I was trying to figure out if someone was supposed to be a character from The Shining or not while missing whatever was happening. They look like sitcom versions of themselves lol
This movie is a rollercoaster, you'll never know what's 2 minute long sex scene Whatever. stands up I don't wanna talk about it. sits down and throws ball Bye! :wave:
I was enjoying the movie immensely, but the ending sucks the fattest greasiest butt.
What the hell is her plan supposed to be now? Become the champion and get to the top as a brain in a box?
Let's for now ignore simply flying up there - they use jet engines as toys and she has some plasma thing built-in, they could have easily figured out a way up, use a balloon ffs. By lore the way to get there has been up the pipe since 300 years ago and she's already proven to be able to just jump over the barbed cockring, so what the hell is she doing?? Waiting for the second episode, that's what. Ruins the whole thing.
