The film is an edited down version of a full mini-series. The whole thing is quite an experience, so if you enjoyed the film version, you should try the full version.
What film did you watch last night?

Oh wow, is that available to buy on blu-ray too do you know?
Yeah, I've had the DVD version on my shelves for years, Amazon has a Blu-ray version here. IIRC, the Director's Cut movie turns it more into an action film, where the series goes more into the characters, and the slow tension bits where they are stuck in the submarine, so parts of it are more slower, considered and thoughtful, interspersed with the terror of combat and the relief of being back home on leave.

the second is absolute tat in comparison. other than eva greens girls that is.
I mostly agree...however JGL's segment is excellent and is the only part in both movies written especially for the movies and not taken from the comics.

See I thought it was the best of the 3. The other 2 seemed to drag a touch. This one kept me entertained throughout.
A 6 to 7 is a fair assessment for all of them given they really just action films in space now.
The mini series is truly superb!

Cromwell 8/10
Watched it on BBC just this afternoon. It's a movie from 1970 starring Richard Harris. He was a really great actor. Didn't expect to watch the whole thing but it was very compelling and a good history lesson on how modern day government came to be.

Just watched Wardogs on Netflix. Excellent movie, wish I had seen it ages ago.

Zootropolis. Pretty good, enjoyed it.
US Netflix? Isn't on the UK one unless you meant Warpigs.
Was thinking the same thing - I don't even thing War Dogs is out on home media yet, let alone Netflix.

Bad Moms (or for us guys, Mums) a chick flick but worth the watch
Came out a couple of weeks back, watched it on Saturday on BR.
Main plot of 3 is Captain Kirk thinking about quitting (getting a desk job) because he is bored and not motivated anymore to explore the galaxy..... absolutely farcical

And the bad guy is star fleet, just annoyed at being left behind.
And he attacks a brand new, deep space orbital hub.... which just happens to be populated by millions if not billions.... yet it is brand new, and fully developed, and mature.
The suspend your disbelief is fine for sci-fi but when the non sci-fi bits are gubbins, it makes things difficult.
Like that crap in the first one about romulus being destroyed, and unfortunately them not getting mytical unexplained plot point, red matter, there in time, even thought it wouldn't have saved the planet.
What?
Basic idiocy ruins action films.
