I still don't get the problem people have with that movie.

I can't say I laughed at any point in the movie but it was solid sci-fi. MUCH better than oblivion...

What about it do you guys think sucked? The acting, writing, direction, the visuals or something else? I thought the movie was fairly easily understood

It's about transition from "evil" to "good", and how the transition (even the concepts themselves) are all but meaningless without an external frame of reference.

Yeah. I didn't find the movie that hard to follow, personally.

Has anyone seen Terry Gilliam's Zero Theorem?
Apparently it's never been released in the US. I can't even find a torrent. Apparently available on bluray soon. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Zero-Theorem.../dp/B00IRD8LLM |

Saw Edge of Tomorrow yesterday. Pretty good actually, probably best Cruise movie in a while. Surprised there isn't a thread about it, or maybe there is I just missed it.
Oh and Cloud Atlas may be many things, but hard to understand it's not. And on Deer Hunter, like BL said movies in the seventies did an amazing job of just letting the scene speak for itself. No special effects or wacky dialogue (not that these things are bad) but just pure life. Of course Deer Hunter is not going to be taken the same way today as it was back when it was released but my father was aVietnam vet and he said it's probably the best movie made around the subject. I wrote a paper in college about the sheer awesomeness of 70's cinema. Really, to me, it was the golden age. |

Not sure why I had so much trouble following Cloud Atlas.
I enjoy movies that require thought. Inception is one of my favorite movies, ever. |
