It certainly felt like it tonight in the cinema.Please avoid this dull ,self important ,enormous pile of poo, I wish we had.

is there any hint of scientology in this, i got the feeling that the story was a bit similar to the whole Hubbard nonsense

Really that bad? I was looking forward to it. Bugger!

I was looking forward to it too..

Hmmm, do I still go??

Its ok.

Not as good as I expected and drags a bit in the middle. There are an awful lot of cliches too

7/10

Cheers, tomorrow night sorted then.

don’t forget the eye candy

I’ve been advised not to go. A friend said it was awful.

meh its a tom cruise film, they are usually crap, interview with a vampire was good, minority report was ok but mostly hes dreadful

another naff actor whos status gets good films made and then ruins them by conforming to hollywood cliches is- will smith, he and his son have a similar scifi effort on the way

meh, going to see it this afternoon with a couple of patients… to be honest the more painfully cliche and predictable a film is the better for them as anything more complicated than a disney film leaves them confused and frustrated

also this……

its all about the scifi apocalypse this year!

Take them to see Trance Phil 😀

Love all the Neill Blomkamp shorts and expecting big things, really should do Halo….

Off to see it on Monday looks impressive in a special effects kind of way.

really should do Halo….

computer game->film?
can only end badly

Elysium…….looks fab..

slightly understand why i was called Elysium man the other week…………was lost on me till now……

Wasn’t the TV advert enough of a warning to you?

The Guardian review is enough to put me off. That and the trailers I have seen.

Only recently, Tom Cruise looked as if he was attempting to grow twelve inches to play tall tough guy Jack Reacher; now his role-model appears to be Wall-E, the diminutive cartoon automaton left behind on a wrecked planet Earth to clean up. Sadly there’s none of Wall-E’s spark in this bafflingly solemn, lugubrious and fantastically derivative sci-fi which serves up great big undigested lumps of Total Recall, AI, Planet of the Apes – with little snippets of Top Gun.

Looking forward to

world war z

and

star trek

Ah, the ever-seductive “straining on the toilet” pose 😉

That makes it sound quite good to me!

Well the cinema trailer I saw last time I was at Cineworld looked bad enough so I was doubtful about seeing it, this thread has firmed up that thinking.

Cold – Vimeo

MTFU and get a copy of Cold, available on iTunes download, a real mans film.

New Star Trek film?

The new World War Z trailer is way better than the first one.

New Star Trek film?

What a disappointing thread. I was hoping for this

I liked the bit with Patrick Stewart. “Hi, I’m an expensive voice actor so I’ll be dead soon, then you can break out of the prison”

New Star Trek film?

Gene Roddenberry is turning in his grave!

Strange description of a film ?

I quite liked it. I knew it wasn’t going to be mentally challenging or change my world.

It was just a film, and it did what it was supposed to do, it entertained me for the couple of hours I was watching it.

stuff the film THIS is the oblivion you want 😀 infinitely better than anything with tom “thumb” cruise in it 😉

stuff the film THIS is the oblivion you want

northwind beat you to it mate 😉 what I was expecting when I clicked on it too.

ah apologies northwind 😳

Gene Roddenberry is turning in his grave!

Why would he be rotating?

I heard the review by Empire magazine on 6Music this morning, and they were ok with it. I’d rather take the opinion of a media-specific magazine than some random bods on teh interwebz. 😉

Why is it so bloody difficult to make a decent sci-fi film? Moon was the last one I thought was any good.

We were talking in the office t’other day and came up with a plan that they should ban the use of SFX for 5 years so they all start to think about how to make a good film again.

perhaps they should also ban remakes
