  1. Yes you can switch between any country you want at will. You can't have multiple libraries on the same page but just choose a country, refresh Netflix and you'll be on that country's Netflix. I personally use Media Hint rather than Hola as Hola's servers are less reliable, but I don't think Media Hint allows access to any country other than US.
  2. Shit, I still need to do mine, it's been like 2 months since I wrote it, lol. So far I've only watched one film on your list empire
  3. He's in the last 15 minutes but 12 of those minutes he has a helmet covering his face and it's pitch black Download Hola and browse Netflix from the UK if you want to watch films on the UK site. (It's annoying how Netflix has different films in different countries...)
  4. It's on Netflix if you want to watch. Though it is way too long and you could find it boring
  5. The first film is quite underrated. Yes, it's more show than depth and substance, but what a show it is. I have to admit I didn't know Fisher was married to Sacha Baron-Cohen until now, but why does that surprise you? He's extremely intelligent, articulate and one of the funniest people on the planet. It'd be awesome to be married to him! Or were you thinking that he wouldn't want to be with her?
  6. Yeah, sorry, I hadn't looked at her box office record. I didn't realise she was such a big star in America, here she is laughed at, as a C-list actor. Before Gravity, her last proper hit here was Two Weeks Notice, and that was thanks to Hugh Grant not Bullock. Before Gravity released, people laughed at the idea of Sandra Bullock doing a major movie. I guess our countries are rather different, sorry for not properly looking at her track record!
  7. Yeah, Apollo 13 is the best example of non-sci-fi space film. General advice - might want to watch the film before asking Uhhh what? Kind of? How on earth is it not sci-fi? It's about which is a completely futuristic concept which would change the world.
  8. That website always confused me, it looks interesting but I don't understand it at all and I don't really understand what grim said either I haven't a clue about how real life stock markets work, let alone a virtual one I kinda wish I did understand it though.
  9. I'm in a similar position with Prometheus, I saw it only recently (relative gave it to me on blu-ray for xmas) and thought it was pretty good, if flawed. I thought Exodus was good but suffered from Scott's vision being compromised by Fox (or vice versa, you can spin it both ways).
  10. I don't think I'm going to ever understand how Gravity is set in the future in any meaningful way, let's just agree to disagree.
  11. I didn't know that the Chinese don't have a space station, but still, by that reasoning, almost every movie ever would be sci-fi - that's just basic fiction. There are things in every film that aren't entirely true. That's the nature of storytelling and fiction. What is more important is the fact that the way the world (or universe) is portrayed in Gravity is identical to ours. However you define sci-fi, I don't see any reason to believe that Gravity is set in a fundamentally different world than ours. If it occurred on land and was about some truck in a desert rather than a ship in space, no one would be calling it science fiction. It's just a disaster thriller set in space.
  12. I don't see how it could be science fiction under any definition I've come across, unless your definition of sci-fi is "it's in space"
  13. It's not just acting, but in terms of sheer star power - Matt Damon has had plenty of action hits, Sandra Bullock isn't exactly a massive star.
  14. 1) Gravity isn't sci-fi 2) Gravity had 2 characters (mostly just 1), this clearly has various people 3) Sandra Bullock isn't in the same league as Matt Damon
  15. As far as major films and franchises go, 2016 is like gold. Deadpool Zoolander 2 Zootopia Warcraft Allegiant Part 1 Kung Fu Panda 3 Batman v. Superman Beverly Hills Cop The Jungle Book The Huntsman Captain America 3 Neighbors 2 Angry Birds Alice in Wonderland 2 X-Men 8 TMNT 2 Now You See Me 2 Uncharted Finding Nemo 2 Independence Day 2 The Mummy 4 The BFG The Purge 3 Tarzan Star Trek 3 Ice Age 5 Ghostbusters King Arthur Power Rangers Bourne 5 Suicide Squad Smurfs 3 Lego Ninjago X-Men 9 Doctor Strange Harry Potter 9 Moana Rogue One Assassin's Creed
  16. Does "more cultural" mean "more explosions"?
  17. I still have to pay for individual films on amazon tho I literally have no money lol. Library is a good idea, I don't know why I hadn't thought of that!
  18. Great idea The only problem I have is that since virtually none of them are on Netflix, I'd have to buy each of them on blu-ray if I wanted a list of any substantial size
  19. Harry Potter, Twilight, Hunger Games, Divergent, Maze Runner, Percy Jackson... not to mention the dozens that bombed and didn't become franchises. Also I'm not defending comic book films. I frankly despise the mass production of superhero films that we currently have, just as much as young-adult, slightly more so actually.
  20. Part of me wishes that Harry Potter had never been adapted to film, then we wouldn't have all this YA garbage.
  21. Haha even worse then I still can't believe Lionsgate is splitting Allegiant into 2 movies
  22. I think it'll decrease from the first film, it wasn't amazingly well received so there doesn't seem to be much hype. And the marketing is messy. I saw a TV spot yesterday and to anyone who hadn't seen the first film, it made zero sense.
