Worried about rent tbh, would love to see this but..

I saw it in 4dx and thought it was fun. The dialogue was pretty bad, but the seats shaking made up for it.

Other than the weirdly janky CG, which was both excellent in some parts while ruining my suspension of disbelief in others, I enjoyed it. No, it wasn't as good as Fury Road but, let's face it, that bar is so high it's almost stratospheric.

We get it guys, you didn't go to the theater because you haven't left your basement in 4 years. You don't have to keep commenting that.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago

My basement has an amazing home theater setup, complete with wet bar, popcorn machine, and a really nice recliner/couch set.

Why would I pay $20 to sit in some ratty, smelly, flop house of a theater when I can queue this movie up in a few months for free and watch it in the lap of luxury?

Furiosa is 5 years too late. People who cared about her, stopped caring about the character years ago. They give us enough of her backstory in Fury Road. For viewers to know her history. If the viewer stops to connect the dots. So making this movie pointless.

Your right, the new fans who were attracted to the franchise grew up and forgot about in that time. Why the Hell did it take 10 years to get another mad max(ish) movie out.. its insane that it took that long.

I mean, COVID set a bunch of films back, just for starters. After that, Idk. WB has been making some disastrous executive decisions since they merged with Discovery. I'm a bit amazed Barbie was released, rather than getting torched for the tax credit. Could be they sacked their marketing department and told an AI to do the job, and now its just gone underpromoted.

I have no interest in seeing the movie. There's just nothing there for me. I'm burned out on this type of stuff, and ready for more creative plotlines.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Burned out on apocalypse wasteland movies?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Burned out on movies that are mostly chase scenes, explosions, and lots of gun shooting by people who can't aim.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago

The movie is great IMO and deserves better.. but I had to see it in a filthy theater with non-reclining seats on a screen that was so tinted in green that the reds looks like rust.

Why are we supposed to pay for this experience?... I literally would have been better off watching it at home on my crappy projector

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

People still go to the theater? I quit that 10 years ago.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 months ago

Well the advertising sucks then, because I didn't even realize this was out.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

I genuinely want to go see movies but Indont have time. I kind of get now why everything is pg13 given as a 30 year old I can probably get there 4 times a year if I am lucky whereas I used to go like 15 times a year.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Wait.. theaters still exist? They were expensive before food prices doubled. How much are they charging for a bag of popcorn now? Do they accept bills less than $100?
Is it all self-service now? Are we now expected to push on the movie computer AND clean the theater before we’re allowed to leave? Are you forced to watch ads while you clean up?

Ever since Jiffy Pop hit $50 at the self-service Dollar General, I barely leave home anymore.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

They do accept small electronics and children, in working order of course.

Why do they keep making Garfield movies they keep flopping

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I remember trying too hard to like Garfield as a kid and ultimately giving up. I don't know if it's not my kind of humor or if there's a specific kind of humor for syndicated comics that just doesn't translate well to other mediums
