Amazing movie, ranks up there in my top 5 at least. The techniques used in that movie were unparalleled at the time, and beat most of today's CGI with one arm tied behind it's back.The Thing (1982...yes...damn film is 36 years old now , you wouldnt believe it when watching it though) is on tv tonight, so I havent watched it today as yet...however, based on the sheer fact that its my favourite film of all time, I will make a prediction rating of ....
10/10.
Ditto (for the film), for sure in my top 5 of all time.Amazing movie, ranks up there in my top 5 at least. The techniques used in that movie were unparalleled at the time, and beat most of today's CGI with one arm tied behind it's back.
The sequel wasn't terrible either, and the game was reasonable.
DUN DUNNNNN..... DUN DUNNNNNN.....
) I'm not sure I'd say that the game was "good", except for the aforementioned comedy value Love the Carpenter film too much to risk watching a remake...e: There's a sequel? I'm guessing it's a remake... I don't think I'll risk it
You mean the Swedish base?
Just youtubed that, LOL, all I can think is "I'm Dickle Rick!"
My only beef with the prequel is that they used CGI. They should have used animatronics and paid the homage the original deserves.
Most overrated movie of all time. Its merits everything it gets for cinematography but the story is just terrible.2001 A Spacy Odyssey
First time ever watching this and for the most part I went in blind. All I knew about it was that "HAL turns on the crew" - that was it.
I thought, especially for it's time, it is incredibly well shot. Excellent use of different camera angles tricking you into thinking they were in zero gravity. Visually there were a couple of tell tale signs that it's from 50 years ago but overall, it looks great.
The movie itself...the first 35 minutes were confusing as I was expecting a space movie but got the beginning I got. I found myself repeatedly checking to make sure it was the right movie and not something else. The movie is an incredibly slow burner movie and the pacing felt off in many places. Ranging from incredibly incredibly slow to an alright pace back to slow with more confusion! But thinking about it over night, I believe this was entirely the purpose to completely throw the viewer off.
And the ending...well, I don't mind admitting I understood almost nothing of it. The only thing that was apparent to me was Dave losing the concept of time as we saw him get very old very quickly. The rest...well, I think I'll Google it.
Overall, despite the large doses of confusion I am glad I watched this and can see why it's considered a classic by many
Ah!Yeah, its a running joke in the film, Mcready throughout the film keeps calling them Swedish.
