For a movie that looked and started promising it quickly became a convoluted storyline with too many names and things going on at once to follow and eventually even care about.
Copy of buried one may say, claustrophobic and not that tense, the twist in the twist was a bit too much
Nothing to say really besides: that’s how you do it!
This has without a doubt the most impressive stunts of the franchise, and it really knows how to use its characters and challenge them. There’s a lot of propulsive energy, lush cinematography and great editing. Lorne Balfe does a great Hans Zimmer impression, and Chris McQuarrie does a great Chris Nolan impression. Alright maybe I’m oversimplifying there, because I have to commend McQuarrie for doing another stylistic reinvention of the franchise, the cinematography and general feel aren’t just that of Rogue Nation 2.0. I’m not even sure if the constant evolution of this franchise comes from a place of creative ambition or commercial opportunity, but at least it keeps the films fresh. Some of its core elements will always remain the same, however. For example, the plot’s once again just a vehicle for all the juicy stuff. You could call it out for being generic or basic, but they find so much creativity and fun in these tropes that it becomes very entertaining (intrigue, the mask sequences, the craziness and constantly rising intensity). Sure, there’s a very predictable twist at the end of the second act, but more often than not, it managed to surprise me. Henry Cavill is a great new addition, bringing back Rebecca Ferguson was the best choice they could’ve made, and Pegg & Rhames remain the reliable anchors that add some heart & humour. It’s all exceptional stuff, it could very well go down as the best action franchise in history if the next films stick the landing.
9/10
i was going to watch this but i saw Nicki Minaj ....
NO thanks
A fantastic cyberpunk action/thriller with a decent mystery. Ralph Fiennes and Angela Bassett (particularly Angela Bassett) are amazing in it. Even Juliette Lewis, despite not being the best actress in the world, is perfect for her role.
Also, the best New Year's movie ever, and a fine chaser to Christmas's Die Hard marathon. Make a new tradition today!
Ouch.
The visuals are breathtaking, as already shown by the trailers.
ScarJo is trying, you can tell that she wants this to be her new franchise.
It's edited quite nicely, it's got a (simple) story, and it's coherent.
So where did it go wrong?
One of the problems is that it takes away all of the philosophical depth from the original.
Well, that means you can still enjoy it from a simple action flick perspective, right?
Good luck with that.
This film has such a ridiculous amount of exposition, that it badly hurts the enjoyment of the film.
Many sequences consist of characters just talking to each other, and explaining the plot.
Things are definitely shown, but then the filmmakers don't think we're able to put two and two together, and hence add another explanatory scene.
As a result of that, the film doesn't take its time to develop the characters, meaning you won't care about them.
Top it off with an awful performance from Juliette Binoche, and you have your modern style over substance film.
3.5/10
Oh hi trakt
Great documentary! However, after watching the Hulu version, this version seamed disjointed with it's back 'n forth style of storytelling. The Hulu version is more a linear timeline, digging into who Billy was before the festival and some of his other failed companies before telling the viewer about the Fyre Festival. The Hulu version also has interviews with Billy himself as well as his girlfriend which are even more revealing.
Also, it's good to know that the Netflix version was produced in coordination with the social media company which put on the Fyre Festival - F**K Jerry Media. I found it interesting how the Netflix version mostly glossed over their involvement while the Hulu version had an interview with the actual designer of all the social media elements from FJM. He gave a lot more insight into their involvement, which is very interesting.
All in all, I'd recommend watching the Hulu version first, and then watching this version.
If you can get over all the quite terrible stuff involving the main cast, this episode is all about John Rhys Davies and his great performance as Da Vinci. He brings a huge amount of class to proceedings, and I really enjoyed all of his interactions with Janeway. I have to admit that I did struggle to keep all my attention on the episode, though. It's never particularly exciting, and all the equipment (including the MAIN COMPUTER?!) being stolen at the start is so stupid.
A bit of a coincidence that the flying machine just happened to be on top of the hill where Janeway and Da Vinci transported to, no? How long had Leonardo been on the planet before Voyager got there?
The scene with Harry and Seven felt unfinished, as well as the subplot involving the Doctor being frustrated at being trapped in sickbay.
While watching this I was in a constant state of what the fuck am I watching and why haven't I watch this sooner?
Not a horrible movie, but definitely not a good one. The first half or so was kinda hard to get through and the other half was kinda hard to follow. Besides that the poor accents are a real turn off. Overall I didn’t have a terrible time, but won’t watch it again.
(And if you’re sensitive to torture scenes, like myself, maybe don’t watch it in a theater.)
We applaud when the siblings win, though we should cry. We are applauding the worldwide decision to kill the planet and everything on it. Though, it is a good movie that can make you root for human extinction.
A fun mystery show, even though it got worse as the seasons progressed. Still, I saw every episode multiple times, and will probably watch them again. The best episodes are consistently the ones that take place in Cabot Cove, and it will always be funny how everybody is shocked when another murder happens there. With that murder rate, it has to be the murder capital of the world.
I actually always expected an episode where they would show that Jessica is a secret killer mastermind behind all these murders. even as a what-if episode. There can't be any other explanation for how a writer is associated with so many killings. But we never got one.
[AtlàntidaFF] The most controversial thing about the documentary is how it hints at themes without completely defining them. It is stated that, in his early 20s, he was an escort in Paris, living with a man who gave him money, but that word is never mentioned. There are some hints of sexual harassment, but without specifying. What is clear is that there was a lack of protection to which adults were obliged. The documentary feeds on the drama of the protagonist and exploits it to that last image that seems to be taken from a romantic painting, with the semi-darkened image of Björn Andrésen walking through the corridors of a ruined building. It's another form of exploitation, but this time with his consent.
I thought this was very touching and endearing documentary of one my favorite Star Trek series. It really was just touching and truly made me feel like I was a part of a close knit community!
Without the musical elements, this would have been a competently made, but unremarkable Shaun of the Dead the junior edition. With the musical elements? It's still competent but unremarkable, only with a few songs thrown in that don't always sit comfortably with the tone. It's an okay flick, but those with a better tolerance for musicals will rate it higher than me.
One of those movies that's almost too unique to really be good, but maybe that's ok. It's still plenty entertaining. There's some fun, gory, zombie kills and the musical numbers are generally pretty great. It's got a weird, good, off-kilter energy. I wasn't particularly satisfied by the time I finished it, but I didn't regret my time with it either. It's certainly unique - unlike anything else I've ever watched.
only good thing to come out of this movie was the iconic church scene - everything else is boring or inept
It's crazy to read reviews of this at the time that actually praise it and say its way better than the last sequel. No way! This movie is such trash. The acting is......something else. Also I did not like knowing that the guy who plays Pinhead is this little balding British dude. Kinda took away some of the scare out of the character for me. I will give it this: there are a lot of fun practical effects, especially in the last 20 minutes.
Such a weird combination. Not scary or disgusting enough to be a horror; Not original enough to be interesting sci-fi. Not clever enough to be considered social commentary. And doesn't care enough about it's own characters to be good personal drama.
This documentary is really very hard to watch. Underlying the obvious tragedy that is/was 9/11, examining our relationship with death and the stigma that is placed on people who make a decision to take their own life says a lot about our discomfort with self-determination. Not just the ability to decide how we live but how we die and not to be judged for either. While the conclusion of the documentary is that it’s not important to know who he is, but that the picture is a perfect representation of what happened that day ... I see it differently, in that not knowing who the person is allows us to accept that unless and until we are in these impossible situations where one is forced to deal with their own mortality, no one, not even God, has a right to judge the decision. And for me, this includes suicide that is more likely provoked by mental health scenarios. I’m not sure what I would have done but one thing I can imagine is that I would have been terrified and all options would have been on the table between fight or flight.
Why on earth it got cancelled? I couldn't wait to see what happened with Annie,if they ever found her... I don't like it got cancelled.
Really don't get this movie. Viewer is never in on the act. Ocean's Eleven >> Ocean's Twelve.
I think you may lose some context if you have not read the book In Cold Blood.
Great to see Linda Hamilton again. Mackenzie Davis is a smokin hot badass. Arnie is Arnie, always fun to see. That said this was a stinker. Third best sure....but a stinker.
It is an amazing documentary series that gives an insight on airplane accidents. Thoroughly presented offers an opportunity to learn about crashes that took place recently and about the preventative measure taken since to avoid similar tragedies.
I recommended for those who can take it but should be avoided by those with a fear of flight...
I loved this movie so much! I'm still a little surprised they decided to do a follow up movie after so many years but it was nice to see all the original cast come back for the second movie!
You know that feeling when you see a new movie and you feel you have seen everything before?!?
Well...The Secret Life of Pets gives me that feeling in spades. It's not that it looks or sounds bad, it's not that characters aren't funny, but everything feels so damn uninspired...
The voices are the worst offender. Everything sounds the same, and you get the feeling the voice actors were very bored when doing this movie.
The animation gets a pass as it's not bad, but there's a whole lot of movies out there at the moment that does things better.
The story isn't all that good, but at least it wasn't all that boring. I actually laughed out loud at a couple of gags. The thing is...I've seen most of the gags in other movies.
I can't really recommend this one, but if you have someone around you that wants to see it, you won't die from watching it...
Dante is such a good boy
