theboyangel Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Unlocked (starring noomi rapace) should’ve been named Uninteresting. garbage spy/terrorist movie with multiple holes in the little plot there was. Atomic Blonde was a much better film of a similar ilk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hide contents ...in giving the audience the impression it was all in his head. Some of the events obviously are imagined, but not everything. The director thinks the conclusion gives the impression none of it really happened which wasn’t the intention. Quote I watched this about a week ago and came to the conclusion that it was all in his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted April 23, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) It definitely wasn't in his head. I think the book explains it much better from what I recall and is far less ambiguous. **Edit** Director Mary Harron admitted that she buggered up the emphasis of the ending... Quote One thing I think is a failure on my part is people keep coming out of the film thinking that its all a dream, and I never intended that. All I wanted was to be ambiguous in the way that the book was. I think it's a failure of mine in the final scene because I just got the emphasis wrong. I should have left it more open ended. It makes it look like it was all in his head, and as far as I'm concerned, it's not.

Full article here I've always wondered why she feels that way. I don't think the difference in emphasis is as massive as she made out in her interview on the subject, although it is more than a decade since I read the book.

Designer1 Posted April 23, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) I think the ambiguity in the book was more 'he did a lot of ot but which bits did he actually do and what was real' whereas the film was more 'no, it was all a dream, and none of it was real'. Like you though I haven't read it for years. Edited April 23, 2018 by Designer1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Submergence - Just watch the trailer (trailer is basically the whole film trimmed to 2 minutes and it still drags) or look at some pictures of Alicia Vikander or something instead of watching this crap.

8pints Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Took a few people to the cinema today and they chose to watch 'Every Day' I'd not heard anything about it but it was a very interesting story, very positive and all about acceptance. It's a sort of YA sci-fi gentle comedy love story. Aimed at an audience younger than most of us but still a nice message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the first proper movie by the new/revamped standalone Orion Pictures team, Nice to see the old logo back & the film looks like something i will end up watching on a sunday afternoon on sky at some point 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Watched the first Lake Placid tonight on Netflix. Havent seen it for over 10 years gotta be, hasn’t aged too badly tbh, some proper gory bits that I’d forgotten about. Silly, daft, cheesey but bloody great fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Saw Luc Besson's Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets with my wife the other night. I managed to convince her to watch it with the premise that it was to be in a very similar vein to The Fifth Element (same director + quirky sci fi). Must say that the plot and acting left a lot to desire, but visually it was absolutely stunning and made up for it completely. Luc Besson can really create these incredible worlds that you can get lost in. Would definitely recommend this movie on that basis alone snd can see it becoming a bit of a cult classic over time.

Chindie Posted April 24, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 24, 2018 This is going to be dreadful. Rumour had it that Venom only actually appeared in the final 5 minutes, and this probably backs that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 24, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 24, 2018 Infinity War reactions are out. A little mixed, the main criticism seems to be that it is very much a first half of a story (which Marvel said they hoped to avoid) and that it is absolutely breakneck paced, which is no shock. But otherwise seems like Thanos is a very good villain, there's lots of great action, lots of character moments, good comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Im sure i will really enjoy it but the rumoured ending really doesnt work for me Spoiler Too many characters dying, everything at the moment points towards the 4th film being based on the time stone meaning that the impact of this film is already lost, 3/4 dying maybe but if black panther, spiderman, dr strange, star lord, black widow bite the bullet then i will instantly think its being reversed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to Ridley Scott. Great visionary but not so great on the script side of things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
