I agree horrible film, copies the good bits from lots of sci-fi and turns them to plop, not least my all time favourite Alien, crying out loud they even found a poor replica of the Juggernaut but buried in ice in Russia, with a bunch of aliens, not in eggs, but in pods and quelle surprise a nasty horrible queen that they have to fight. Chris Pratt spent most of the film doing a wide eyed "I've just sat on something sharp" impression, his future daughter was lovely though. Having said all that my 12 year old son loved it, so I guess its not really for us grown ups and should have a warning at the start of the film that we should suspend all disbelief when starting the film. (The film lost me when they fell from a height into a tiddly swimming pool on top of a sky scraper - what's the chances of them surviving?)

Horribly played out. Poorly written to not really have any actual story. Goes into the action too quickly and he turns evil far to soon so you don't get chance to empathise with him or anyone else. He masters his powers overnight with no difficulty which makes no sense. It just drops storylines like the one about his crush after he kills her mum. Relies too much on shock and gore with no suspense. But Elizabeth Banks was good and always worth a watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Salad Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) For some reason today I was in the mood to watch a real tearjerker, so earlier I finished 'Legends of the Fall for about the tenth time. One of my top all time movies. It gets me every time. Edited July 8, 2021 by Big Salad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Chris Pratt is a decent comedic actor but him being cast in a serious role in a film is a sure sign that it's a peice of shit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Various plot holes notwithstanding, most of the film was done well, to a Hollywood epic action template. It borrows heavily from jurassic park and alien/aliens, but is nowhere near as good as either. But it's relatively diverting and engaging, despite also being a bit rubbish. 6/10. WNB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably very dated now but will rewatch nonetheless! Part of the John Hughes catalogue. Haven’t watched it in years but his movies were a big part of my childhood/teen years. Thanks for sharing, as will probably watch this now. The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller and National Lampoon’s Vacation are still my favourites from this period. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
