This is getting a lot of great reviews. Can't wait to see it this weekend!
On a side note, Paramount might be the worst (or one of the worst) studios out there in Hollywood. From what I read online, this is only getting theater releases in USA & Canada and getting a release on Netflix everywhere else in the world. lol its bad enough they dumped it in Feb but apparently the studio thought this film was too "intellectual " for the avg movie goer. smh |

Evidently, they should have read the rest of the series. In a later book you finally find out Natalie's character is Asian, . . . and Natalie's not. . . . Soooooo,

SPOILER ALERT DAMN IT!!! just kidding of course haha. I've read up on the internet outrage over that and couldn't help but chuckle. The freaking author of the book was so blown away by this film (in particular the 3rd act & ending) . So if the director approves , I think its all good. Really really can't wait to see this.

It's just a matter of time before Natalie Portman stars as the reluctant hero chopping firewood in bum **** nowhere Alaska when a helicopter lands full of cloak and dagger personal.
Agent X: Natalie, we need you. We need your skills!! Your country needs you!!! Natalie: I told you...I'm retired. That life is behind me! Chaos ensues. |

Out today and getting really strong reviews, but the studio doesn’t like its commercial appeal. I guess it’s headed to Netflix in a few weeks.
Will you watch?

Is that US or international? Looking forward to this one. Read the book which had a lot going for it and looking forward to the director's follow up to Ex Machina.

saw this yesterday and really really liked it. Found it to be trippy as hell. The last 20 t0 30 minutes are pretty mind blowing .

I couldn't help but imagine what some avant-garde or psychedelic director in the 60s would be able to do with today's film tech.

Holy ****. I recommend this film, but I don't really know how to explain what I experienced personally. I want to reward any studio making good sci-fi films for one, but yeah, just go see this.
I'm not one who usually feels scared or terrified when watching any kind of film, but
Spoiler!
Mentally this had a similar effect on me as Mother! did, where I just sat for a few minutes in my seat after the credits, devoid of most thought just soaking up what I had seen. The character's story is lacking, but overall it is an enjoyable film for sure. ****ing beautiful.
