One of the finest sci fi movies ever made in my humble opinion. The underwater scenes were all fantastically done. The hurricane and crane scene as mentioned was great, also one of the best movie chase scenes ever done was probably the duel of the two subs. The stakes were high so it made the chase just intense. Visuals still hold up. The soundtrack was great, especially the scene at the end with Bud meeting the aliens. Harris, Biehn, Mastrantonio were all fantastic in this. The dialogue/chemistry between Bud and Lindsey worked really well. Also plenty of subtle references to childbirth, like Bud is reborn again through the ship, umbilical cords like the crane connected to the rig then it gets cut, people are connected by ropes in the submarine search and the rig as well. A+

I'd recommend these. Inside Job is about how the finance industry failed on so many levels during the crisis and how it doesn't care even today. (more of a quasi film-documentary). About the control of the world's food by a few corporations. Quite a scary watch that will make you feel squeamish. Dear Zachary is kinda like a true crime documentary. Trials of Life is a fantastic nature documentary, narrated by the fantastic David Attenborough. PBS Origins is pretty good too. About space.

One of the finest westerns ever made. It was shot beautifully and the soundtrack is fucking phenomenal. The characters were great too. A+

Good luck. I dunno if that movie will ever be topped. One of my favorite films ever.

I thought it had some fantastic trailers highlighting the Groundhog Day thing, but I guess it did look like a generic sci fi alien invasion flick too.

I'm not sure how much better Edge of Tomorrow could have gotten in terms of marketing. From what I saw, they did a decent job.

Really fascinating. I was never impressed with Chris Evans to be honest, but in this film he was fantastic. Everyone was great. Plot was a bit iffy. Random observation, if they've been on the track for 17 years, who repairs the tracks? Earthquakes and weather would knock and destroy tracks around for sure. Where's the damn maintenance crew? FLAW! B+

Its still amazing. There's definitely flaws (especially the writing). Like, why the heck does the MUTO burrow into a random Japanese nuclear plant instead of closer locations like nuke plants in Philippines or Taiwan? That was always a bit of a stretch for me. Plus little things like the scene of the white family is the only one that apparently avoids the tsunami always annoys me. Also you'd think someone at the waste facility in Nevada would hear the mountainside collapsing from the MUTO leaving it. But its still one my favorite films of the year. This, GOTG, Dawn, and DOFP. A - I do hope for the next movie they film more scenes with the monsters in the daylight, though I know nighttime is convenient for hiding obvious VFK work. Also, rewatching it again another observation came to mind, the cinematography is really amazing. Every shot is art. One thing that they nailed so perfectly was the scale of the monsters. Examples (not my screenshots):

No, need to be so heartbroken. GOTG passed 200m today and its probably on its way to 270+, way more then Turtles will earn (not that its a bad thing, Turtles has already passed all expectations).

That's an impressive jump Seems like no Fri number yet for GOTG

Stallone is just amazing. He pulls off an amazing performance here of being indifferent then going full badass. Good soundtrack and awesome supporting cast (some people from Sopranos if I remember correctly ). Dialogue was top notch. A

Godzilla's great opening, then collapse. X-Men solid opening Maleficent great Fault in Our Stars excellent HTTYD2 TF4's "100" OW Apes solid opening Lucy's opening was surprisingly decent GOTG god like Turtles surprises

You're going to kill us by cuteness aren't you? Two can play the game. Anyways back to numbers.

Not liking a movie is now the same as racism and stupidity?

Its not like the numbers will go anywhere. They'll still be there.

Seems like it might fall under 60% if it gets a good saturday bump.

Okay I loved GOTG here, but usually you base these predictions on logic and reason, not on your loony tunes.

Nice increases for both.

None of the Marvel villains look scary tbh.

Local theater is still packed with kids going to see Turtles tonight when I went to see GOTG again. Both movies did really well.

I remembered a lot of Pizza hut ads.

August is the new July. April is the new May.

Who would have thought that a Turtles movie would make over 60m OW in August? What is going on this month?
