I quite liked it as a disposable flick. Not so great fit in the series though. It suffers the same problems as many movies of this type, the characters involved seem to be unbelievably retarded.
Which is why the terrible (and totally predictable) ending was difficult to stomach.

Would I divert from the (no doubt) well scouted mission? Probably not. We're colonists, not explorers, although I do see the motivation in this dec...

Please don't be terrible
I'm not massively keen on it. Movies don't have to make perfect sense, it's fiction and escapism. But I felt there were too many basic unanswered logical questions while I was watching it that damaged my suspension of disbelief.
I'm a great believer that if you are going to make a meditative human drama you should at least try and elicit realistic, believable behaviour from said human characters. I'm an avid student of human behaviour.

I thought the movie was weak overall, but that scene is amusing for the simple reason it highlights the paranoia of average american joe for anything that seems remotely foreign or arabic.
It is reinforced by the fact that they are actually speaking a mix of hebrew and expressing themselves perfectly innocently.
I think you can take it as a comedy but also as a warning not to jump to conclusions.
I wouldn't call Akira "adorable".
I would also say there were many more "adorable" Studio Ghibli films than Spirited Away. It might even be their best film but I felt that My Neighbour Totoro or Arrietty are much more lovable films. They aren't really about much, there isn't all that much plot, it's just watching a snapshot of these characters living.
They just sort of happen. Which is their charm.
The movie title is still awful though....:p
It's a lot. It seems to be well spent though, the quality of everything is so high, the 4th season felt like a movie in it's execution (pardon the pun) at times.
The CGI is fantastic, it's only when you watch a video like this do you realise half of the scene doesn't even exist, most of it so subtle you don't even think of it as CGI.
As an aside talk of TV show budgets always remind me of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

It was the turning point seeing Shae coming back to destroy Tyrion, utterly devastating for him and Dinklage nailed it.
Nobody else saw Gladiator then?
You know, the last scenes for Proximo, Oliver Reed's character, being slightly rewritten then completed by a CGI Olly as he died before he could film them. Proximo dies in the film. That was over 10 years ago as well. It did cost something like $3 million however to accomplish I believe.
It'll be expensive to CGI Paul Walker well in a few scenes, but not nearly as expensive as canceling the movie or massively altering i...
Yes, quite a few hypercars were originally derived from racing machines.
The Carrera GT was largely an amalgamation of various shelved racing/concept projects. The engine, the brakes, the clutch, all composite monocoque etc.
Most testers at the time said it was amazingly reactive and stupendously rapid, but also frightening, unruly and wild. Liable to bite your hand off if you poked it a tiny bit too much.
If you went a little too far in many...
Porsche Carrera GT, aka the widowmaker.
The car has known handling instability issues especially on the limit, it is near impossible to control. The car was never fitted with an electronic stability control system, which in hindsight seemed like a terrible decision for a hypercar with this performance falling into the hands of customers.
Newer spec tyres improve those characteristics but the car was always a handful for professional drivers, let alone the ama...
Ben Affleck as Batman lol
Who can play Robin?
Matt Damon? lol
After much thought, this is a very good hollywood movie, but I am unsure if it really deserves the ratings it has been getting. I think in 10 or 15 years, when we have possibly seen even greater accomplishments, popular opinion will be revised down somewhat.
Indeed much of the praise is for the technical feats of the movie, stupendous as they are, always have the potential to be far surpassed in the future. We tend to overrate (most) films that herald an impressive technical ...
Some of those films are great, but only one is fantastic and that is Gravity.
The must see film of this year, easily.
Star Wars 7: Give us your money
Big Jaws and Way Bigger Jaws got greenlit before this :D
Seriously, just get a new Jurassic Park sorted. I adore everything Jurassic Park, such a fantastic concept.
RIP Crichton
Comedies are a lot about taste and the writer clearly has little. Several of those in the list are worthy films, but many are just flatout poor films like Murphy's Dr Dolittle.
I can think of many better black comedies for example, that are CLASSIC films as well instead of just 'comedies'.
Ealing comedies say hi. Dr. Strangelove says hi.
Even Rocky had a montage
The key was using CGI only when you had to use it, and therefore took care and time over it integrating it into the realism of the picture. When you throw around CGI carelessly for everything then it is going to look bad.
