If this gets a cinema release I'm going
One of the most underrated films of my lifetime

The Predator
I'm now 40mins in to this movie and it's the stupidest movie I can recall watching this year. And possibly last year. Laughably bad script, with woeful casting.
I mean Jake Busey as someone with a "PhD in Physical Sciences from Cornell University"?

Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
Worst war/action/spy/whatever movie I've seen
One wanna be inglorious bastards out of five wanna be kingmans
Wait. Are you suggesting for one moment that Guy Ritchie is a knock off Tarantino?

Not sure if posted, but yeah, don't bother. Decent premise, decent actors, boring as fuck. 2 Damian Lewis's out of 10 shithouse characters.

Alien Romulus.
Very decent overall. Some really nice bleakness in the lifestyles of the future, hopefully that doesn’t come true. Really nice touches/throwbacks to the first two movies in particular. The android character was well done and the creature at the end was pretty damn fucked up.
Possibly loses a few marks for retreading a bit TOO much at times, what I liked about Covenant is that it was on an actual planet as opposed to dark corridors of a ship….been there done that…..
3.75 obsolete androids out of 5 face huggers
Also……
do we really need yet ANOTHER heroic female who survives when no one else does ? That’s four of them in total nowSome nerds online complained about the Ash/Rook Android…..looked a tiny bit CGI at times but I thought the idea of another fucked up evil model was cool, ie we as viewers instantly knew not to trust that arsehole

@MN5 I watched it two nights ago and loved the beginning 20mins. The effects and acting were top notch but like you I felt it got formulaic.
Having said that it's still a bloody good way to spend a couple of hours and a worthy addition to the franchise.

Is that real? It doesn't look real with Hunnam above Bale in the credits.
I've heard about Mann making a prequel, but then wouldn't it have a different name than just Heat.
If true, would win a record for director remaking the same movie the most time I guess.

Excellent point. Possibly not.
Unusual for the internet really.

Interested in the ferns view on this.
The original is one of the best movies ever so I’m sceptical, then again I’m not sure they could get two better guys than Bale and Fassbender……
Will be interesting!!!
I don't know why they didn't just make another film. Lazy

faaaaaaaaake
Yes it would appear so.
Is Heat 2 starring Christian Bale and Michael Fassbender releasing in 2025? Viral poster debunked
Reports of a sequel to Michael Mann's 1995 film Heat have been making rounds on the internet for some time.
As you were everyone, nothing to see here, sorry for bothering you

Rebel Moon
I know the original releases were panned but I quite enjoyed them. So I watched the R18 Director's Cuts of both movies. Over 6 h in total. We get to see more backstories of some of the characters and there is plenty of graphic violence. And plenty of Sofia Boutella as well.

2001: A Space Odyssey
Was this made nearly 60 years ago?
OK, the story is timeless, the writing outstanding and with Arthur C Clarke you're going to get scientific accuracy, but it's as fresh as ever. Sure, some of the tech is a bit dated but most of it it - particularly the AI computing - is still fresh and prescient.. A simply stunning and timeless film.
