Cliffhanger. Never seen it before. Absolute rubbish.
After Earth - 1/10
Avoid like aids. Will's character is a bore, so his talents are wasted, and his son just can't act to save his life. Not to mention the story is just so empty.
Cliffhanger is one of my all time favourite movies.
Very exciting. Has some heart stomping action scenes. It kept me on the edge of my seat. A decent bad guy.
It's just a great all round movie.
I think it's great also. It's silly, but it's very entertaining silliness, at least in my opinion it is.
I watched The Specialist last night. Now that is a bad film.

The Curse of Frankenstein (1957). Peter Cushing is brilliant as always (8/10).
After Earth - 2/10 - I'll happily take back every bad thing I said about the acting in "This is the End" after watching this bowl of tripe. It's more wooden than the forest this movie was shot in. The acting's poor, the script dire and the animal CGI is laughable. The only reason I gave it 2/10 and not lower was the Landscape CGI which is breath-taking at times.
It is terrible I also agree about the cgi, some was great some was really shockingly awful. I can't remember what the scene was really early in the film but it looked like a really bad quality in game video and there were several bits equally as bad. Some of the jumping around particularly in one of the final scenes also looked awful. Complete waste of time watching it, wasn't a good story, well acted or particularly interesting, painfully predictable and really poorly writen back story.
The premise of the kid being a coward and scared and having fear is.... his dad expected a what I dunno, 8-10year old kid to jump out of a sealed thing to fight a giant monster that he had literally 0% chance of hurting and would have 100% certainly have died???? Because the dad is unfeeling he's also utterly utterly stupid? Or in fact he doesn't feel fear..... so is basically autistic. I'd also point out the freezing over the planet surface thing yet the huge eagle or whatever it was had a next with babies in that would clearly have all died come nighttime anyway....
