I only have one quibble and that concerns the ending pulling a rather chickenshit move. Beyond that, it’s fine I guess? I enjoyed it for the most part. I don’t know where I’d rank it, because I have not seen JURASSIC WORLD or FALLEN KINGDOM since theaters, and I never saw DOMINION. If JURASSIC PARK is a 10/10, this falls somewhere in 6-7.
Score was nice. I didn’t realize who it was until the credits, but I knew it was not Giacchino.
I also forgot this was Gareth Edwards. For what it’s worth then, I enjoyed it more than the snoozefests that were GODZILLA and ROGUE ONE.
Finally Brad Pitt. This was a role he was born to play. Rooting for him and the team from the beginning right the way to the checkered flag at the end.
Unmissable. You have to see this on the biggest screen possible.
I'm glad you liked it. It felt very middle of the road effort for me, even Pitt felt bored to me. I wish he brought more Moneyball to this, less, smug empty charm? And I'm a car journalist, I need a little more than the camera mounted to the car to feel something special. I enjoyed the movie, but will probably never put it back on my TV. It was better than watching a real F1 race, I'll give it that.
This is the 3rd Dudikoff film i've seen, and so far, nothing has blown my socks off. Crash Dive is just Die Hard on a Submarine. But The Hunt For Red October or Crimson Tide this is not. A few brief fights, and a memorable death for the villain is all Crash Dive has to offer.
The USS Ulysses is on routine manoeuvres, when they pick up a distress call. Surfacing to pick up the handful of survivors, before submerging again. Once beneath the waves, the survivors reveal themselves to be terrorists when they overrun the crew and take control of the Ulysses. The Navy brass bring in a former Seal who also designed the Ulysses. His job is to get aboard, and disable the warheads, before they can be used.
Recently saw the trailer for this, and though i have zero interest in motor racing of any kind, it looks fantastic. Hopefully it will have that 'don't make em like that anymore' feel that 'TG Maverick' managed..
The recent films make even The Lost World: Jurassic Park 2 look like an absolute triumph. I have never understood people's hatred towards it -- with Spielberg directing and Williams' bongo score both "new" and adventurous, that film has some awesome moments to offer. Nothing in the recent batch comes close for me.
I know exactly what you’re referring to here, and I can’t agree more. I thought it was just cowardly. There are a couple other quibbles I have with it, but this is one of the mos obvious and immediately irksome to me. Definitely a 6-6.5/10 for me.
Agreed too. I’ll also add that I wouldn’t say no to Desplat scoring a Bond film in the future.
I agree, my friend. I actually really like The Lost World and the character development by Ian Malcom, who was a sceptic in the first one, albeit a happy one, and now is downright antithetical, cynical and suffering from ptsd. Also, the visual effects are second to none. The first three films had dinosaurs that felt real, scenarios that felt real, palpable production design. All of which are lacking in the Jurassic World films.
Altho this sailing comedy has big stars of norwegian cinema , its naff......Wesenlund tries his best but imo its a poor film
Selskapsresan 5/6
Great vacation comedy , which would spawn 4 sequels, kids today would find it kinda slow , tho
(watching #2 now , aka Snowroller , its decent)
What a charming movie. I love Bill Pullman; his screen presence is so interesting, and I feel actors who move between serious and goofy roles are some of the coolest. Enjoyed watching his performance very much, along with Ben Stiller, Ryan O'Neal and Kim Dickens. And somehow I've found myself watching three Ryan O'Neal films this year.
I've gone back and forth with this one so many times. On one hand, it makes Revolutions much more enjoyable knowing that Neo ends up alive. The plot is actually not half bad. However, the action scenes, with the exception of the opening recreation of the scene from the original just feels bland in comparison to what the first three films brought. Wasn't a huge fan either of it being extremely meta in many places.
I am excited for what potentially Matrix 5 brings. Do they continue on with the current storyline? Do they make a prequel showing the machines rise to power? All new cast with a new story? A film based on what was briefly shown in Resurrections with the machine civil war?
The action is no where as good as the original trilogy though i do like a lot of the idea's in Resurrections and compared to many recent action/science fiction films It stands up well.
Really enjoyed this one - Cena and Elba are great together, the dialogue is mostly quick and quippy, and the action scenes are a lot of fun.
Took my service users to see this the other day! They all loved it! I haven't watched one since the original, and it's funny, I had the same view! The effects are great, but the characters are poor ( despite me having a longtime crush on Scarlett!) Its never boring but when my lasting impression is how did Mahershala Ali manage to keep his hat on after a final encounter with the big bad Dino, then a movie is in trouble!
My other half has a soft spot for dino and shark movies, and we have a deal that I sometimes get to choose a Bond or a giallo, if she can sometimes submit me to dino / shark stuff, and I already agreed on watching this one :p Good to read it's never boring though ;)
If your other half likes these type of movies, she should enjoy this! Not really my cup of tea!
Sailing & costume party
Selskapsgolferen (film4 in this series) 4/6 , not as good as first 3 but passable, Stig Helmer & Ole goes to Scotland to learn golf
Helsoresan (film5) 4/6 , Ole thinks they should go to a spa to stress down & lose weight
Dracula Prince of Darkness 4.5/6 , pretty good , Latham was good as Dracs butler
These films were a pleasant surprise, and I had no idea what to expect. I'm glad I took a chance, as I had a blast watching both. Neo nazis in the 1st film, extremist misogynist cult in the 2nd, I hope there's a part 3, to see who Becky targets next (and find out more about 'the key'). Naming your kid Adolf, it'll never end well. :))
And both films have VERY unexpected, but brilliantly acted villains. Very surprising turns by both actors.
I've been meaning to watch these two for some time now, @MajorDSmythe. Your endorsement is just what I needed!
