What film did you watch last night?

Interstellar. Really enjoyed it. 9/10. Some amazing scenes. I think sometimes it threw too much at you too quickly, but overall really liked it. After thinking on it, I think I'm OK with pretty much everything that happened...
Just a bit confused about what happens to Anne Hathaway's character at the end.

Not sure what's confused you about it. She went to the final planet, buries the scientist that went first and setup the seeds for plan B. Probably goes into stasis and presumably Cooper will get to her.

But hows Cooper going to get to her now the wormholes closed :D
 
Underworld - Extended Cut (2003)

I somehow never watched this before so thought I'd give it a crack.

As an outright action film it was entertaining. However, a scary edge-of-your-seat ride it is not. It tries hard to be serious and scary, it became more like a cheesy version of Blade IMO. Blade isn't scary either, but it pulls off a serious vampire series well. Underworld was cheesy, some of the lines were really awkward for the actors and Kate Beckinsale doesn't make a good action hero, she should stick to classic 40's/50's roles. The werewolves were not convincing and I thought the storyline was just a bit of a mess with too many characters and not enough decent dialogue. Every line seemed to be followed by dramatic music and a sweeping portrait shot of the character, who is pouting into the distance - cringe.

That said, the sets were excellent, the action was good with some funky choreography and Matrix style acrobatics. I'll probably go on to watch the rest of them to see what else happens in the story.

5/10
 
The Wolfpack (2015)

Locked away from society in an apartment on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Angulo brothers learn about the outside world through the films that they watch. Nicknamed, 'The Wolfpack,' the brothers spend their childhood reenacting their favorite films using elaborate homemade props and costumes. Their world is shaken up when one of the brothers escapes and everything changes.

Jessica Chastain's character invents wormhole technology, pretty much the whole point of the film!

pretty sure her character was all about solving gravity allowing them to move people off earth. Not worm holes.

And quite sure the whole point of the film was suggesting gravity and love can transcend space and time, there's no suggestion at all about creating worm holes.
 
Re-Kill. Zombie flick with some refreshingly satirical elements. Set in the USA but filmed in Bulgaria because of the Muslims.

6/10.

The Green Inferno. Eli H. Roth channels his inner Ruggero Deodato in this clumsy remake of Gianfranco Clerici's Cannibal Holocaust.

...There's violence aplenty with guts and gore flying across the screen at regular intervals, but we're not shown so much as a single nipple because that would be very wrong. :rolleyes:

Forgot to mention that we are shown a testicle in the first act. That might be a dealbreaker for some people, I don't know.

Yup, nothing about it at all. The people that created the wormhole are the people who created the 3 dimensional representation of their 5th dimensional space. IE wormhole tech is the VERY distant future technology based around controlling gravity at a stage of human evolution where they live in 5th dimensional space.

Without watching it again, honestly, I don't remember if the wormhole had closed or not.

While they got into space you wouldn't think resources would go into taking people through to the new planets because they still didn't know any planets were viable. As soon as they learnt how to use gravity for power and being able to take large/heavy objects into space their focus was to get people off earth into what would amount to biosphere type space stations they were based on at the end.
 
Terminator Genisys

If this wasn't related to the arguably cult classics that are the first and second Terminator films I'd call it a very cheesy mildly entertaining action sci-fi with next to no chemistry between the two main characters. Emilia Clarke doesn't feel right for the role throughout the whole film here and Schwarzenegger has little screen presence. I think one thing it's predicting well about the future is shameless product placement has a big future in major motion pictures.

Since this is related to two films that I loved as child I'd have to rate it:

Pants/10
