Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)

'86, that's near 30 years :eek:

Still one of the best Star Trek movies.
It is the one where they time travel back to Earth of the 1980's to fetch whales and save Earth of their time.

Just got to love the design of the early Klingon Birds of Prey

Enjoyable 7.5/10

Oh ffs what "agenda" would that be? Telling the truth about animal cruelty? Are you for real?

I understand that people who make documentaries may want things to change. They may be activists or think themselves as activists. I also understand that some "documentaries" are made in bad faith *cough* Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed *cough* which use dishonest techniques to tell their side of the argument. However, most "documentaries" that are made with "agendas" are made by corporations as a form of propaganda to benefit their business. The "agenda" is simply known as "profit". What "agenda" could Blackfish have besides shutting down a business....the opposite of profit? And you talk about it being hard to "validate some of their claims" and yet you haven't watched the documentary to even get an idea of what their claims may be. That's usually a pretty moronic approach to being "open minded" about watching such things. You haven't really thought this through, have you?

Methinks your claim of "agenda" is your own retarded bias showing through that you probably haven't "watched more documentaries" because they don't align with your beliefs. You probably don't want your bubble burst.

You have constantly shown a very narrow-minded, very conservative, very misinformed/uninformed view of things and a complete lack of initiative in learning things on your own, so I have a feeling I'm not far off. You're exactly the type of person who really needs to watch more documentaries.

One of my favorite shots in the entire franchise. A fun film. Kinda retarded, but it moved the franchise along to "reset" mode. :up:

Aww how did you not like that? Thought it was rather excellent...

Elysium 2/10
One of those entirely forgetable blockbusters with lots of explosions and chase scenes. Why i kept watching till the end is beyond me.

The Prestige 4/10
Starts out a bit interesting but then takes a dramatic turn for the worse and totally fails to deliver. A stupid movie that pretends to be clever.

Gravity = 7/10 - Excellent cinematography and VFX, terrific pacing in the story and overall a good movie to watch. However, the acting, dialogue and the circumstances of the plot were horrible. The worst part of this film is that George Clooney is just being George Clooney and Sandra Bullock is just being Sandra Bullock. I'm actually quite positive this movie would have been an epic and unforgettable film if they used no-name actors and dropped the pre-schooler dialogue but hey...there is no such thing as an awesome movie anymore.

It's over-the-top retardation at its finest, but at least it's worth checking out.

The Family = 0/10 - It's classified as a "comedy" (and the trailer certainly sells it as one) but it can't possibly be a comedy because it's not funny in the slightest. And if it is indeed a comedy, it's the first "comedy" in history to have loads of innocent people getting killed for no reason....those were some really depressing, shocking moments that have no place in a "comedy". Sorry...but it's really hard for audiences to cheer for wanton psychopaths and laugh along with the truly horrific carnage they cause...which is why NFL and dog-fighting fans (who are always the same people...always) will probably love it. This film is dreadful, awful and a whole bunch of other "fuls" and should be avoided at all costs. Even if someone is pointing a gun at you...let them shoot you...because it'd be better than watching this movie. And if this movie is anything to go by, then getting shot should somehow be "funny".

I'm guessing that nobody in the production cared enough to try and were all watching the clock until the next break in shooting. Robert DeNiro should just stop acting now before everyone loses respect for him. His projects the last few years are ham-handed shit circling the drain and the only end in sight is a big flush.

Got to agree with you GONNAFISTYA that there is no such thing as an awesome movie anymore (above).

Great movies are a rarity indeed. I tried to think, what was the last epic movie I saw and failed.

I just sat through Star Trek (2009)* again.
I love all things Trek but this has lost some gloss over time, and a short time too :smirk:

Capricorn One

Made in 1977 and you can tell.
Silly buggers are talking LEM & CM both terms used on Apollo Moon landings. They actually show a lunar module on the surface of a staged Mars.

Image
If you have seen the film don't worry as you haven't missed anything. Don't bother viewing.

Best bit if any was the helicopter chase: Even that too short.

4/10
IMDB >> A NASA Mars mission won't work, and its funding is endangered, so they decide to fake it just this once. But then they have to keep the secret...

Hanna

A seriously realistic film about an assassin. With a Chemical Brothers soundtrack. European. Fights like Bruce Lee.

8/10

lol but it sure as hell isn't hard thinking of an epic stinker that you've seen recently, is it? They don't make awesome movies anymore because they don't have to.

I mean the movie "The Family" is a delightful and family-oriented comedy that literally starts off with an opening scene of an entire family getting slaughtered, blown-up and gunned down. No funny sound effects or having the whole thing be a prank. No...they're all dead and bleeding out on the floor because the wrong address was given to the assassin. A family just got wiped out and this "comedy" is just getting started. Is everyone ready to laugh now? :up:

:rolleyes:

Citizen Kane

9/10 - great twist in the end; though i find the "rosebud"-twist to steal the show from main part; the actual character study looses some weight in my reception of the movie because it could falsely be interpreted as shere machinery to establish the twist.
