What film did you watch last night?

One of 2 ways, I think...
1 - John Goodman's character lied and she takes off her mask and breaths, sees children playing on a field and runs to them and screen fades

2 - sees apocalypse, keeps mask on and screen pulls back to see a city on fire in the distance and fades

It's either John Goodman's character lied or he did not, these movies are never really about the final 5 mins but the journey. The movie chose the latter with a bit more action thrown in, I can forgive it for that and actually didn't mind it.

If it ended as per your option 1, I would have been annoyed. As that would be akin to it was "all a dream" ending.
Her walking out the bunker and fading to black and keeping the viewer guess would have been better.

Her running out and fighting with the alien seemed very contrived.
 
Could have done without the big floaty alien, leaving it with just the small one wouldn't have been too bad to just confirm that something had actually happened.
 
Jurassic World - 6/10. Impressive special effects, rubbish storyline, annoying child actors and just didn't seem to retain any of the feel or atmosphere of the original at all.
 
The Hateful Eight. 7/10

A good film but pobably the weakest Tarantino film.

Star Trek (09) 7/10

Enjoyable but would have scored more if it wasn't for the constant lens flare
 
Captain America Civil War

I love how they managed to evacuate an Airport in five minutes.

Anyway,
I didn't like Martin Freeman at all. Hilariously miscast IMO. And how/why was there more than one camera at the very site where Tony's parents were run off the road. Plot manipulation ahoy! I was kind of hoping for a four on three Super fight at the end but I guess we got a 2 v 1 instead. Zemo was, well, alright I guess. Not exactly a big bad, but like most bad guys worked on them psychologically instead of just fighting them. Loved Black Panther and am looking forward to the film.
 
Hitman: Agent 47

'Can't be that bad' he thought... Oh dear!

Very generic and Rupert Friend wasn't a good casting choice in my opinion. Nowt against him but not for this role. I prefered the Timothy Olyphant 2007 version, and that was a bit poo too.

I'll give it 3/10.
 
Got round to seeing 10 Cloverfield Lane.

Was quite interesting and kept me guessing until the final chapter.
 
The 5th Wave (2016) 4/10

I think this started pretty well, but by the time it got to the half way point. I guessed the 'twist(s)' and then I was praying for the film to end quickly.

Kept watching because my wife enjoyed it :(

I don't think there was more than 1 camera (seeing as though all the other angles were super high def but the security camera was rubbish VHS). That was just for the audiences benefit so we didn't have to watch 5 minutes of crackly VHS.

I also watched it at the weekend. I loved the film even though although I thought the bad guy was a bit weak.
 
Bad Neighbors 2. If you liked the first one you'll like this as it's very much the same. Some funny bits. 6/10
 
Crimson Peak - 6.5/10.

As is the norm with Guillermo Del Toro, visually excellent, with lots of work having gone into the set design, costumes and so on. Shame the same can't be said for the story.
