Steve Jobs (2015). If I didn't know the Apple story it would have made no sense. They picked such a weird timeframe of his life as well; nothing about how him and Wozniak founded Apple and no mention of Pixar. Odd.

I didn't dislike it though

Awww damn it :/ I was looking forward to watching this

It's definitely worth watching and some of the CGI scenes of space were beautifully done.

[spoiler]I didn't like how you saw everything coming a mile away. you knew he was going to wake her, you knew the bartender was going to tell her, you knew the crew member was going to die, you knew there was going to be some lame climatic scene where she comes back to him and you knew he wasn't going to die at the end.

the whole we have no time to wake another crew member to help because there was no time and then how there was only one medbay stasis bed on a ship of 5k. they should've ended it when them both going back into stasis and them waking up to live on the planet. he basically sentenced her to death and she got over it because she had no choice.[/spoiler]

Top notch acting by Andy Garcia though

I thought a good move too but am stumped at the mention of Andy Garcia as I can't recall seeing him..... Checking... Captain Norris

That was the whole point though wasnt it.

The name Aurora was also a bit on the nose.

Dr Strange

It's like Inception, Harry Potter and Edge of Tomorrow took LSD and had a gang bang. Not sure how to rate it yet....I think it requires a second watch.

I'm still pissed about ID2

Not about one I've watched recently, but came across this:
Lovely photos of the Fury Road vehicles before shooting.

Some absolutely stunning detail there that is easily missed in the movie.

^Amazing

I hope the Interceptor gets some proper screen time in the sequel.

Was right up my street, but not for everyone I'd imagine. It can be a bit cliche.

Hey losCHUNK. Cheers
I was looking for something to fill my evening....

The latest I have seen is Logan and is the best Xmen franchise movie!

Before that I saw Cloverfield back from 2008 and is a good one time watch movie only

WoW. A solid 6.5/10. It was ok.

Cloverfield?

Never heard of that one
Is it one of those hand held 'handy cam ones" I avoid?
Googles.....

Agreed but I would have scored it 5/10 not 3/10

[spoiler]Lady Carlos informed me that her name is also that of sleeping beauty...[/spoiler]

pretty sure that wouldve clicked if you read my posts. cunt.

FUK U M8 :MAD:

Last night it was The Age of Adaline and it was amazing.

Anyone seen the new movie LIFE yet? I hope to get to see it next week and would be interested in any commnet.
IMDB

Arrival - 6/10 - daft premise, but fairly enjoyable and doesn't outstay its welcome

I watched it after seeing your post.
The trailer made it look like the movie was very aware of how cliché it was and making things so over-the-top to make it awesome again. Unfortunately, it all ended up being just a cliché though.
Having said that, it's definitely an enjoyable popcorn romp if you have a free evening to kill. The action is pretty solid and the special effects more than decent. After seeing this, I was thinking, a movie with this visual style would make a pretty decent Gears of War movie. Everything's big, bulky and bombastic which is exactly what a GoW movie would need.

Aye, I really don't mind cliche films though if they end up being solid and not too convoluted. Reminds me of the 80s action flicks where the action takes centre stage, I was very aware that some people would hate it though -

[spoiler]The bit where he Macgyvered the weapons was borderline even for me[/spoiler]

It's what you described about GoW that made me like it a lot, the style of the movie with the action sequences. That peer scene was top shit imo.

I thought it was a shame they felt the need to try and explain the science. The movie would have been a lot more interesting if they kept the menace mysterious.

Yeah, at one point they [spoiler]conveniently forgot their nemeses were invisible, as they could see them while their spotlight tank was in shambles[/spoiler] but ok

lol, I must've missed that. It adds character

That was the let down for me, apparently the original script had this and the ghosts were radioactive, was also set in NY.
