Well, it wasn’t great but wasn’t rubbish either. Boring first 20 minutes or so, picked up the pace a bit, decent little twist and a bland ending. It’s well made, cohesive and all makes sense by the end and everything but it’s just a bit ‘meh’. Miles better than netflix’s last few sci-fi outings however. Worth a watch at least if you’re struggling to find something. 6.5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Watching a film called dark crimes with jim carrey. He plays a real serious role in this film. Bit slow so far... Also just watch escape plan 2...don't just don't. No wonder why Arnie never came back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted July 30, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 30, 2018 I watched The Revenant for the first time on Saturday. I thought it was really bloody good. For some reason it's been one of those films I've been really reluctant to see, but couldn't tell you why. Good cast, good reviews, interesting story. but something just told me not to watch it. Anyway, glad I did. Very long but to be honest it flew by. My only real criticism were some of the plot points were a little predictable, but didn't really spoil anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great podcast about Hugh Glass from well before the movie if you’re interested. Has some truths the movie omitted. http://thedollop.libsyn.com/dollop-x-hugh-glass Quote Dave Anthony and Gareth Reynolds discuss legendary American mountain man Hugh Glass They also do a good one on PT Barnum which probably paints him in a bit of different light compared to The Greatest Showman or whatever the movie is called (haven’t seen it). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted July 30, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 30, 2018 Over the weekend watched Tomb Raider - IT'S JUST LIKE THE GAME! Repeat for 2 hours. Completely fine action film. I do think Vikander isn't quite right for the role, she does everything perfectly well but she doesn't look like Lara to me. She's not got the right build (and I don't just mean the tits), too thin for modern day Lara. A decent Sunday watch, but nothing special. John Wick 2 - it's great and the series has always been great. It's also great looking on UHD Blu-ray. Blade Runner 2049 - I really liked this at the cinema. Having now seem it a couple of times more, I think it might be a masterpiece. It's only flaw is Leto, who is underwritten and overacted. Otherwise it's absolutely brilliant. Even manages to do something interesting with a romance scene with some bloody great visuals, imperceptible morphing between 2 characters is just a fantastic effect. The entire film is gorgeous. Superb and holds up to repeat viewings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After my huge reservations of there ever being a sequel I'm actually glad they made it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised people doubt the authenticity though. In a world of reality TV nonsense their authenticity as people is what makes it for me. Especially Max. Although 6-7 series in you can tell their enthusiasm has dropped off a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted July 30, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 30, 2018 I remember seeing a similar film (more of a documentary really) called “talhotblond” years ago. The events that took place in “catfish” were quite gentle in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
