    Fuckin A.

     

    Water parks are just as bad.  Dolphins are slaughtered by the Japanese or Dutch or Norwegians and the ones that are left behind are sold to water parks for a life time of slavery after they have watched their family get cut open while they are still breathing.  

     

    totaly, absolutly AGREE !!

    I've heard the flim isn't doing well as many of us thought.

    This is why I asked the "Is it still gonna make a billion" question ,just was wondering if this flims was gonna be a 500domestic grosser and not make a billion.

    Overseas however ,I would have put R1 at 700+.Barely or not crossing 500o.s really shocks me.

     

    no Star Wars movie ever did over 500mill except TFA, so why did you think that spinoff will make 700+? any reason? with bad $ exchange and it was clear that domestic will be just around over 60% what TFA did...

     

    and yes The Phantom Menace did 552mil, but not from first run..

    Physical home video is outdated and takes up space. Streaming is the way to go, and the entertainment industry is holding out...

     

    when streaming can get to 60+mbits data flow on 4K and with Dolby Atmos or DTS-X, and of course with HDR or DolbyVision, then, only then I consider STREAMING as option....

    4k disk media are THE BEST possible option now.., and yes I know it's not cheap, but as some others mentioned, you can find much much cheaper prices if you look around...
     

    I never bought a 4K disk more then for 20$, never.....

    Defend all you want. The music is very good, but the special effects were questionable IMHO. The lava planet sequence in particular looked like bad PlayStation graphics even in 2005 and has not held up well over the last 11 years. The acting and dialogue were complete shit by 2 of the most important characters in the film. Anakin's turn to the Dark Side was not handled in a believable manner (happened too fast). Overall better than the first two, but that is really not saying much. It's lipstick on a pig. 

     

    well, bad playstation graphics? sure about it?
    half of the shots were practical efects in lava sequence...

     

    here is nice doc about SFX in EP3, lava stuff is from 15:00, but whole documentary is worth watching...

    Wrath Of Khan & Young Sherlock were done by Lasseter, & Catmull with Pixar's Rendermann I think.

     

    And Willow's morphing was done with  John Knoll's Photoshop.

     

    And my source is Dennis Murren, ILM didn't have an in house Computer imagery department at the time of The Abyss.

     

     

     

    Ed Catmull was director of Lucasfilm computer division 1979-1986 (@11:55min)

    Finally watched TFA, a pretty good sci-fi adventure movie for sure. As someone who didn't grow up with Star Wars dominating pop culture, all the nostalgia bits meant to evoke applause like the Falcon (I didn't even realize it was the Falcon till the moment when Finn sits at the laser cannons), Han and Chewy and probably a million other things I missed kind of fell flat. Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver were really good, BB-8 comes way too close to overexposure and Boyega is serviceable. The ending fight felt really off for some reason

    The 3D was good, but the movie didn't utilize the entire IMAX screen apart from 10 minutes in the middle which was somewhat disappointing.

     

    well they were talking some time ago, that there will be just one SCENE done with IMAX cameras,.... it's still VERY VERY expensive to make full movie with IMAX cameras (post production will go NUTS to finish all compositions, VFX and rendering in IMAX resolution, when most movies are finished in 2K and some in 4K)...

    LOL I don't understand how someone can see a movie so many times in theaters. I'd rather wait for the DVD it again when I want whenever I want.

     

    well I saw it 4 times (I mostly see movie once), and to be honest, even BEST HOME CINEMA can't compare to IMAX or well equipped big cinema, you just can't have same experience, no chance..., if there will be 4K Blu-ray UHD with DolbyAtmos or DTS:X and at least 65" 4K TV, with sound controlled room, well yes, then I will see it at home many more times ;)

    DVD? last time I saw DVD was maybe 5years ago, from that point, cinema or blu-ray... on big TV

    (and I was early adopter of Blu-ray and HD-DVD)
