Not sure if I posted this but when Big Brained Scientist Anne Hathaway cited "Love" as the scientific principle that was driving her choice of which planet to go to, I literally said "OH GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE" out loud in the theater. The only time I have ever done that was at the twist of the last Twilight movie. That's how bad it was. Twilight-bad. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert S Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I also saw it in theatre and was not enamoured with it. I should mention that I have a degree in mathematics, have read scientific texts on general relativity and am pretty interested in astrophysics, so in theory this should have been my movie. But the story part was boring as fuck and not written very well (as mentioned above) and the science part was not much above Star Trek technobabble, much more fantasy than actual science.

RIPPA Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 Normally I wouldn't post "news" in here but since @jaedmc just told his story related to this movie Quote CJ Entertainment, Korea’s leading entertainment conglomerate has tapped award winning director, Deon Taylor (Black and Blue) to direct the gothic horror/thriller Grave Hill, the studio’s English-language remake of the popular Vietnamese horror film The Housemaid. Released in 2016 to strong reviews from critics for its exploration of racial and social themes in a period/romance/horror setting, The Housemaid was written and directed by Derek Nguyen and produced by Timothy Linh Bui, which CJ Entertainment financed and produced. The remake, titled Grave Hill, will stay true to this concept, taking place in the American South during the Reconstruction Era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The marketing for 1917 is pretty bad for this too. While it doesn't give away the gimmick of the movie, it has all of the exciting bits. The climax (SPOILERS FOR 1917) Spoiler where he runs the length of the trench while everyone's going over the top was in pretty much every TV spot. That it was still exciting when I saw it on the big screen is a testament to how well done it is, because I feel like I'd have enjoyed it way more had I not seen part of it two dozen times before I bought a ticket.

It was definitely an "I'm not going to get my mind off of this so I might as well watch a decent movie about something similar" choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 You think watching Contagion is bad, I read A Journal of the Plague Year by Daniel Defoe online. The comparisons between now and 1665 just show that man learns absolutely nothing from the past and is indeed doomed to repeat it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.K.o.S. Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I don't know if anyone noticed, but "I can't watch end of the world movies right now" followed immediately by Rippa posting "The World's End" was pretty great. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Civil War does get bogged down in itself a bit towards the end, as it tries to redo Winter Solider but not as well. It's a better Avenger film than most films titled Avengers, but a bit of a let down as a Captain America movie from the previous one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
