Just saw it mid day saturday. theatre was pretty crowded but not packed.
i kind of liked it. damon was good as low level criminal that gets into a big big mess. Jodie Foster was really good as the evil b*&%h that runs the space station habitat. For reasons never explained she speaks French, and has some odd kind of French accent. Aside from that she fills the roll. She also fills out her tight skirt, looks like Ms. Foster has ballooned a little. Might have gone another way on the rear tight skirt shots. Double wide.
Lot of stuff ripped off from other Sci Fi, like Larry Nivens Ringworld, and all the exoskeleton and mean robot stuff from a zillion other films. Plus a major rip off from Johnny Mnemonic about loading big data into the brain. Kind of a rip of Iron Man too in a way, but it still hangs together.
Ending isnt too surprising, i wont give it away.
The guy who starred in District 9 plays the bad guy and he is really good. Lot of cool miltech scenes and hardware. Fight scenes, but not too many.
Special effects and visuals were outstanding.
All in all, if you are a sci fi fan, a must see. But then I liked Oblivion, so there you go.
Oh, and the "political agenda"? Thats BS, there isnt any, its strictly the usual down and outs against the haves, no big deal, no more than Les Miserables or any other film like that. No biggie, not in your freeper face thats for sure, IMHO.
I’ll wait for it to hit Vudu. Oblivion’s already on Vudu.
Hahah! Yeah, I remember being at my g’parents old farmhouse looking at ads in 1950s magazines where the doctor in a white labcoat, stethoscope and the round forehead reflector would tell me why Chesterfields or some other cigatette was the brand to smoke.
The TDTESS new version was OK but just that. King Kong: I like all three versions. The original is best of course, the 1976 one is campy/fun and Jackson’s KK is a visual spectacle with good sub-plots and well chosen actors.
“Foster attended a French-language prep school, the Lycée Français de Los Angeles, and graduated in 1980. She frequently stayed and worked in France as a teenager, and speaks French fluently.”
I kinda liked "Oblivion" despite its predictability.
well, that explains it then. i was trying to figure out if the french ended up runing the word in the future in the movie. they never say
It’s free, you’re not doing it right.
Hey bro....Damon is a big proponent of PUBLIC schools and more taxes from you and me for the support of these failed institutions.
I don’t give a sh*t where you sent your kids, bro...
You aren’t the only one around here who sacrificed for their kids’ education, bro..
The point I was making was he is the personification of hypocrite...
It’s NOT just his business if he has the temerity to tell us where we should send OUR kids....bro.
I won't be seeing it.
it had to do with responding to your comment.
Interesting that you didn’t see the politics in it. Even the progressive hollywood media calls it the most political film made since WWII.
Interesting that you didn’t see the politics in it. Even the progressive hollywood media calls it the most political film made since WWII. Pure propaganda.
It’s OK. Just my opinion.
Interesting that you should make that comparison. I have not seen and never will see "Les Miserables" due to the Socialist propaganda embedded in Victor Hugo's French Republicanism, for the cause of so called "liberté, égalité, fraternité".
Starving the Beast! Kudos!
ok bro, got it bro
