This again proves we are in the age of superheroes. Even Nolan can not win against Marvel/superhero flicks.
CBM rules. In Marvel we trust.
Cant wait for countless big budget superhero films in next 50-plus years.
I hope that was sarcasm...

Sometimes you have to look at this movie as though you weren't on a movie forum and didn't know nolan, would you see this movie based on the trailer otherwise ? I sure wouldn't.
I sure would. I'm not watching it because Nolan directed it but the subject matter. I'm a sucker for space.

Meh, only a blind test will give us answers. There's so much make believe in video / hi-fi...

There's going to be an inherent difference between content where 80% is being rendered/created on the fly versus purely native content.
That's what you might think but have you done a blind test?
I own a mid class projector and let me tell you, between what i get in my home and the Hobbit in theaters, i have a hard time telling the difference.
Pretty much everybody who was against frame interpolation wasn't won over by Hobbit. And i doubt Trumbull's process will change that either. Once you get to crazy high fps the differences are negligible.
-
What your TV does is literally create fake frames to fill the gaps, since the original media was only shot in 23 or 30 fps. That's why it looks so artificial... because it is.
I bet in a blind test few if any could tell the difference between a good frame interpolation algorithm and native HFR.

Reading the thread title i was like "did i miss the release of Battle of the Five Armies?!"...

Even Titanic, as good a film as it, owes its emotional power to the real life tragedy, not Cameron's pedestrian screenplay.
Had Titanic never happened (the tragedy), the movie would have worked just as well.

TTT was the worst in the franchise imo. T2 and Aliens are better films
They are all awesome.

I like it as well except the Wrath of Khan scene. "Oh, let's recreate that scene, except this time, Kirk is dying!" Ain't we clever...

How can the budget be $450m for 3 movies when Avatar costs like $250-300m 5 years ago? Bullshiiiiit.
It's not the whole budget, it's what they will spend in NZ.

Well, it comes with the territory of doing adaptations.

I have no horse in this race, but I would say as someone who greatly admires Cameron that I think it's a shame he decided to do another God knows how many sequels to Avatar than move onto something totally new. Avatar was a fine enough experience in the cinema but my interest in returning to that world and those characters is practically non-existent. I wonder how long it'll be before we get another non-Avatar Cameron film....
As an ardent defender of Avatar i do have to kinda agree with this sentiment. I love Avatar but if i had to chose between sequels and for instance Battle Angel i would have chosen the latter. I dunno what he can bring to the table to make it fresh and interesting from a story perspective, it doesn't seem like there are a lot of options, so humans come back and instigate another war? Troubles in Jake and Neytiri's marriage? Avatar could have stayed a standalone movie without me feeling that i'm missing something. Then again, i'm sure it's gonna be an epic event i wouldn't wanna miss. It's James frigging Cameron we are talking about here.

Apes in 3D is pretty much useless, waste of money.
Hail Caesar!
Some folk only notice 3D if it's in your face. I however immediately notice the depth and how distinct it looks compared to 2D.

Oh BTW if anyone cares we know every Dinosaur that will be in Jurassic World because of a leak of a prop.
Congrats, you spoiled it for yourself.

If TF4 hadn't had China it would have looked a lot worse.

On the whole, I would say yes, though obviously BSG has far better VFX. The first couple of seasons of BSG are arguably superior, but the show did start to fizzle out toward the end. The strength is B5 is the on-going story: while each episode (for the most part) is constructed like a stand-alone ep (at the time, arcs on TV were considered verboten), the B-stories in even the lesser episodes often contain key moments and continuations of the greater story, so as you watch, it's like one giant tapestry coming together.Combine that with the fact that it's a very mythic and grand show with remarkably vigorous worldbuilding (JMS has repeatedly said one of his inspirations was LOTR) and the cumulative effect is very strong. The ending of the finale is powerful stuff.
BSG and B5, two of my favorite TV shows.

Skyfall is overrated unlike Star Trek will be.

WB updated Smaug's gross. It actually hit $700m OS after all.

Typical internet knee-jerk reactions.
I will keep an open mind about it. Maybe he turns out to be a capable director.

Avengers 2 will not outgross the original, certainly not by almost half a billion - ridiculous.
There's no way Avatar 2 will not be a good movie.
Having said that, the Avatar sequel might drop-off more than the Avengers sequel (which might stay flat), simply because the former was a much bigger phenomenon, especially worldwide, and it's difficult to replicate that.
Wknd Estimates: Nolan = 50M | BH6 = 56M+(pg 72) (who cares, our forum lives!)

Gravity definitely is not sci-fi.
It is also a tad overrated. I liked it, though. Good movie with a thrilling ending (ship atmosphere entrance).
