I’d never seen it given how ripped to shreds it was. You know, not actually that bad! Yes, Travolta thinks he’s getting an Oscar for his performance and hams it up beyond belief. Uneven across the board and quite stupid in parts. But I enjoyed it! What can I say.
5 double-breasted sport coats out of 10.
The Midnight Sky. Dunno how, but some of these Netflix films just reek of ‘made for tv’, which is surprising considering the talent and budgets. Anyway, I turned this off after 20mins. Boring sci-fi, future melodrama, desperate non odyssey.
Netflix is weird. Their movies are often drab; their six, eight, whatever part series would be better as movies. No oversight whatsoever. The movie industry is also so pissed off at them that they rarely get any good older movies. I turn them on for docs but other than that, I’m HBO and Amazon (barf) these days for the most part.
As the balkanization of streaming continues, I’d be worried for their future. They don’t the IP HBO, Disney, or even Peacock has. They’re reliant upon brand and habit. Both have been pretty much broken for me.
There’s so much absolute cack on netflix. That’s their USP. The amount of utter cack on it. They just push out cack, day in day out.
Their IP IMO is actually the slick EUI which is pretty dank TBF.
jonattonyeah You’re having a lol with balkanization! Proper Millsy meeting chat that one!
Along_the_Wire It started off well, definitely, but the minute he escaped certain death due to a total eclipse, it lost me.
See, for me, that was powerful and clever because it juxtaposed the wealth and social dominance of the Mayan ruling class with their ignorance of natural phenomena.
Along_the_Wire Then being chased by men that could kill a running man 100m away with spears and bows and arrows suddenly unable to hit a barn door from 10m. I don’t mind suspending belief, but when it gets worse than a Bond film, I’m out.
But dude. He’s Jaguar Paw?
I am Jaguar Paw, son of Flint Sky. My Father hunted this forest before me. My name is Jaguar Paw. I am a hunter. This is my forest. And my sons will hunt it with their sons after I am gone.
Okay I’d never heard of this flick and just read about it on Wikipedia. What on Earth is going on here? Is it worth a go? Sounds ludicrous.
It is literally the best film I have ever seen in my life
absolutely brilliant.
Watch it with a beaker of rye (or whatever you yanks drink) and the volume turned up.
It’s also a Brexit allegory. “I am Boris Johnson and my sons will fish these waters after I am gone” etc
Just one final word of warning. Your review of this movie is going to have a major bearing on the balkanisation of your and I’s personal relationship from here on out. Ok?
lol deal.
It’s cack JTY
Pretty sure it’s going to be literally the best film I will have ever seen in my life.
Tenet. 8.5 cheese graters out of 10. Boss time travel stuff, better than Inception imo, Branagh stinks the place up a bit and then end scene is a bit ‘paintball’, but the rest is class. Probably not one to watch with the lady friend who doesn’t have a passing interest in time travel theory, you might get asked a few questions.
Along_the_Wire you fucking loved it you lying bastard
