It's a fantastic sequence and the cuts are done so well as to be virtually unnoticeable unless pointed out.
True Detective has a comparable oner scene in season 1 - utterly brilliant television.
What film did you watch last night?

Going to rewatch this tonight as not seen it since release in the Cinema. One of if no the best Cinema experience I have ever had. Absolute everyone was silent. No crisps no munching a whole cinema absolute silent and scared and jumping at scenes. I generally dislike the cinema but that was a night to remember.
You were lucky then lol. All it takes is for one person to ruin the moment and that is why I don't go to the local cinema anymore.

The Creator -
Went in knowing nothing except what i saw on the trailer. Very captivating, no real downtime in the film and the pacing was good. Kept me entertained all the way through. That said, plenty of plot holes and the "you could have finished it there!" plenty of times.
Enjoyed it, I would say worth a watch.

All Quiet on the Western Front 2022 (Netflix) 8.5/10
A particularly good war film, Das Boot remains the benchmark, from the few pickings, and one that depicts WW1. It differs from the novel but as a war film, memorable scenes, and characters. Very bleak and well, sure as hell makes you think.

Easy, charming but essentially vanilla watch. Massive waste of Ben Kingsley's talents and not one I'd rush to watch again or recommend, but it was alright. A good "watch with the Mrs" film.

Good flick for a one-time viewing. It features the chap that played the gas/service station owner in No Country for Old Men (Gene Jones).
Talk about a change of character!

Thanks, I'll check that one out, I don't think I've seen it, so something to bookmark for another day.

The Creator (2023) - 7/10
A mixed film with old and new ideas which is enjoyable and entertaining to watch but also rather forgettable.
The setting is different yet familiar and the story is straightforwardly predictable but well told and with expected emotional heft.
The blend of robotic CGI with the actors is seamless, the acting is great and the mix of American and Asian language, culture and cast adds to the setting.
The futuristic setting looks great, but it’s nothing new and the topics it covers has been done before and more memorably.

Reviews on IMDb are rather split and I can see why. It's a very weird film, but by the end, I was really enjoying it. Marshawn Lynch (NFL Legend) was a bit of a surprise, but actually very funny...

Classic 80's Spielberg quality, the best era of movies. You watch one like this and realise how **** most modern movies are, and just takes you back to a better time.
Maybe I'm getting old.

What can I say? I'm about an hour in with another 90 minutes to go and I'm posting on a forum.....doesn't bode well does it??
I genuinely don't understand how Marvel can go from the heights of Infinity War and Endgame, to this God-awful pile of steaming excrement!
Every single film and series post-Endgame has been dreadful and this doesn't buck the trend!

Think you are in the minority there
Bull (2021) - 8/10
Brutal British revenge thriller ala Get Carter, which, was one of Caine's best films.
A good cast. David Hayman and Neil Maskell, the latter always plays the unhinged - starred in one horror I've yet to stomach all the way through (Kill List).
Really good, very dark, and violent - shan't say anymore otherwise it will spoil.
