What film did you watch last night?

The Post (2018) - 4/10

I didn’t find it very dramatic or gripping, and the consequences of breaking the story just didn’t seem to have much weight or impact.

The whole film made it seem run of the mill, focussing more on the state of the paper at that time than the story it was breaking.

Strong acting and some good characters, but it takes a while to get going and barely kept my interest.

Numerous UHD's,

To name just a few:

Pacific rim, good fun and without a doubt the best disc I've seen for showing off 4K HDR.
Serenity, great film but man the CGI has not aged well.
Bladerunner 2049, liked it.
Dunkirk, loved it more.
Jupiter Ascending, guilty pleasure.
Ex Machina, brilliant.
Watchmen Ultimate Cut, one of my favourite movies.

I'm easily pleased, especially when it comes to Sci-Fi.

You should watch Life of Pi. It’s the best picture I’ve ever seen.

Saw it on a 65” OLED HDR tv and it was incredible.

Cheers I'll give it a go, actually never got round to seeing it yet!

The Wind Rises. So beautiful anyone who dismisses animation should watch it. I have bought about 16 Studio Ghibli films in the last 5 months and watched about 7 the ones I’ve watched have been somewhere between merely excellent and masterpieces.
I bought them for my very young children and reall6 hope they grow to enjoy them all. Kiki and Toturo for instance are cinematically triumphs.

the belko experiment - 5/10 - pretty average and badly edited in places. Mildly entertaining.
tonight she comes - 0/10 - wow, what a piece of crap. One of the worst films i've seen in a long time. None of it makes any sense what so ever.

The Foreigner

The trailer didn't grab me and I didn't see this at the cinema even though i have the Limitless card. Caught it tonight on Netflix and honestly the trailer didn't work ! This turned out much better than i thought, it is almost Jackie Chan The Equaliser. And Jackie does the grieving father well, I bought it.

Scott Pilgrim vs The World - good, harmless piece of cinematic nonsense from Edgar Wright. It made little sense but that didn't matter, it looked good and was a fun way to spend two hours. 4/5

 

[Sankari]

Jigsaw.

Geostorm.

Veronica.

The Snowman.

The Commuter - 7.5/10 Kept me entertained enough. Liam Neeson was good.

This 100%. I loved it. It brought back feelings of my youth and watching fantasy movies. It rekindled something that's for sure.

Blade Runner 2049

Well that's nearly 3 hours of my life I won't get back. Utterly dull.

 

[IvanDobskey]

Logan 7.5/10

First decent superhero film I have seen in a long long time.

 

[IvanDobskey]

Blade Runner 2049

Well that's nearly 3 hours of my life I won't get back. Utterly dull.

Seriously? I thought it was excellent. My favourite film of last year.

But then I loved the original. I'm guessing you haven't seen that?

Just watched Socario on Ch 4. Didn’t really have a clue what was going on but probably cos I was tired 5/10

Going in Style - 3/10 - It's a shame to see 3 fantastic actors so very obviously doing a film purely for the money and being so transparent about it. The only very minor redeeming points for me was the early attempts at shoplifting and flirty old girl stalking Alan Arkin's character.

The Great Wall - 6/10 - I like a lot of Chinese films so I wasn't put off by the way the film was presented. Visually amazing but I could see why Western audiences may not have liked/understood the film as the plot is pretty far out there. I thought it was acted fairly well without any major standouts but the actual script was poor in several places, however the visual spectacle was enough for those parts to be muddled through.

I have seen the original, though not for probably about 15 years or more and from memory it wasn't one of my favourite films (I'd have watched it again in the intervening years if I liked it that much). The sequel just didn't do anything for me. Dragged along and bored me silly.

The Foreigner 8/10

Story was very good and acting all round was good but Pierce Brosnan nailed his role. He is I feel a very underrated actor as I have loved him in films such as November Man and Some Kind of Beautiful.
Chan was also great and portrayed the role of a grieving father a lot better than I would have expected.

Jack Reacher 5/10

I feel that it should have been better than it is. The shoehorned humour is out of place and it doesn't flesh out the bad guys at all.

Dunkirk 7/10
I think I enjoyed it but I wasn't overly keen on the continuous music and lack of dialogue. I understand that was the style of the film and direction, but I didn't enojoy it. Whilst the scene of the Spitfire landed on the beach was a powerful and emotive end to the film, the whole glide scene was particularly silly. It would also have been good to see a lot more ships to show how many there really were, as it looked like there were about 30.
