Unreal exchange.

People hyping Train to Busan

The last hour of that film is laughably made and doesn't fit the first hour which is really great. Suddenly every character turns retarded started laughing at all the decisions.

Wtf, these walkers have 99 sprint speed.

Views on Life?

It sucks man but we all need to pull through innit?

ffs knew that was coming.

Back from Dunkirk

I am not sure how to say this without being a hipster. And you all know how much I love Nolan so I am really not being a hipster

But this is probably Nolan's least impressive film.

It was good but nothing more. Quite underwhelming. There was no substance. The film is something which should be showed in schools as a history lesson. Maybe he wanted it to be just that?

Don't get me wrong, the direction was flawless as you would expect. But everything else was just there. Film felt like a silent film at times but without any story telling.

Sound track was awful. You couldn't hear half the dialogues at times. Zimmer wasn't a good choice for this one IMO.

There weren't any characters in the film apart from one or two. Tom Hardy is best part of the film by a mile. And he had like 5 dialogues without exaggeration. Cillian Murphy was good too.

Spoiler:

7/10

Was about to ask about Dunkirk too.

Dunkirk is

Spoiler:

I think the problem is Nolan is fixated on the same sort of soundtrack for every movie he makes. Soundtrack in itself is really good and majestic, but I agree, his selection is pretty poor. It felt like Dark Knight Rises and Inception all over again.
Should have gone with an entirely different treatment.

Music felt overused and didn't fit the tone of the film at all half the time. I'll put this in a spoiler tag but this isn't as spoiler

Spoiler:

What's the suspense and tension like?

Spoiler:

I kind of understand that the tense and loud music was to show

Spoiler:

Overused yes, but it did gave a dynamism to the whole movie which I actually liked tbh. Quite simply my problem with the movie was certainly not its music. Instead

SPOILERS:

28 days later - 0/5 imo. Worst movie ever. First one to enter my jobber tier.

jk


Was good imo, 4/5. Felt like the first episode of TWD. Surprised there isn't a part 2, 3, 4 etc.

28 weeks later lad

But different characters, settings etc. More intense than the first too and just as good.

Knew you'd like the first one

holy shit, I had no idea Idris Elba was in 28 weeks later ffs.

About to watch No Good Deed, also has Idris Elba.

It's a predictable generic space horror. I don't know what the hell Gyllenhaal and Reynolds were doing in it.

The synopsis sounds like a rip off of Alien

70 mm IMAXing Dunkirk tomorrow.

No Good Deed - 4/5. Solid suspense. Only a 5.6 rating on IMDB.
