Terminator Genisys
First creative use of the time travel the series ever had... And totally botched about every other aspect of the movie that wasn't an action sequence.
That whole 30 second idea of a Terminator in the 70s with a young Sarah Connor was far more interesting than what the movie did with Kyle Reese.
Oof yeah, what were they thinking with doing that to Kyle? He was the one pure aspect of the entire franchise (a friend, a lover, a father, a sacrificial pawn) and they cheapened his sacrifice with that nonsense
I'll take "Movies of the Current Decade" for $1000, Alex.
Reign of fire. Don't know if that's what you were referencing in the picture but it's immediately what came to mind when I saw the drawing.
Mickey 17 is the latest one for me.
will definitely watch this one
Oof is it bad? I was beating myself because I didnβt get to watch in on theatre because of its very short run. I was waiting for digital release to watch it.
Itβs not bad, but the pacing is terrible and itβs not really the movie that the trailers made it out to be. The concept and trailer made it look like a completely different movie.
I still enjoyed it, but Iβd only give it a 6/10. Robert Pattinson is quickly turning into one of my favourite actors though, heβs great in it.
For me the pacing was bad. Like they could have cut a combined 30 minutes and it would be recommendable.
I also think they left a lot unexplored with the whole concept. Like cut back on the relationship and politics stuff and focus on what it means to be Mickey/clone.
I thought it was great, premise and execution.
Yeah I liked it, thought the lead did a great job.
There was an odd disconnect between first and second part imo.
Yeh this was it - great acting by Robert, but the first half of the movie was what the trailers made us think the whole movie was going to focus on.
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. Amazing world building and visuals that was destroyed by terrible casting and wooden acting.
The box art put me off thisnone, but skimming the plot and it reads like an amazing visual spectacle. Might watch this one
It's based on a comic series so we can read that at least
New Rose Hotel (1998) It's set in the same universe as Johnny Mnemonic, stars Christopher Walken, Willem Dafoe, and Asia Argento. I love Gibson stories and the short story it's based on, while not one of his best, could make a good creepy weird movie especially with that cast. Unfortunately it is one of the most boring movies I've sat through at least half a dozen times.
