Erm, spoilers?

 

Not really, that premise has been floating around the web for some time (and in the Passengers thread too)

The only thing I really wanted kept in the film from the book was all 5 crew on the Hermes having their family video talks as opposed to just 3 (Chastain, Pena, Hennie). Beth's one with her father in the book has some pretty good morbid humor with a nice payoff joke at the end.

Yep. This post in the thread quotes a Variety article where the director mentions the premise of the film.

I'm afraid they're stuck with AMC re-runs of The Walking Dead and Hell on Wheels

I hate both of you.

 

Do you guys realize I have the power to ban both of you?

[terrestrial]

Rank the space movies.

Hmmm only the Sci-Fi's happening in space?

 

Favourites (= not per 'quality', also not sorted)

Alien & Aliens

Serenity (love especially the second opening / introducing the good ones 'without' a cut (1 was hidden), love Firefly)

Stargate (does another planet, flying pyramids... even count?), the series I like too (not on my 'love' list)

Star Wars IV-VI

GotG

Avatar (yeah yeah, not popular, I don't care, e.g. best 3D ever as even I could see it partially)

Enemy Mine

2001

Lynch's Dune has some aspects I like, but also mostly on a planet. Main goal ist the substance that allows space travel so

Moon 44

The Right Stuff (see in a way Apollo 13)

Outland

Silent Running

Apollo 13 (~ docu? Not what I'd call sci-fi)

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (again, partially if that one even can count), Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan (1982) the new Star Trek is o.K. too (as series 'Like', not 'love')

The Fifth Element (not each aspect, but...)

Space Cowboys was fun, but again, space enough?

The Dark Star

The Fountain has some interesting aspects (it includes a space part)

 

 

In a way mini-series are for me movies too, so my favourite TV Sci-Fi series/franchises not already hinted at:

Battlestar Galactica and Farscape (and to complete the TV-related titles: Babylon 5)

 

 

I still have to see / want to see Gravity, Prometheus, and Moon (and The Martian too) and have a feeling I forgot one older unknown / not that well known....

It'll end up being seen as one of Nolan's lesser movies. In fact, it's already settling into that category now.

I wouldn't say that, his repertoire of films is made up of mostly lesser movies.

His only really great film is Memento.

Panda, did your future self just push his hand through the walls of reality and type that statement on your keyboard again? Because your future self knows you are just so damn right.

I'm skeptical of ideas about the healing power of art, but yesterday I went to see The Martian and at the end my toothache was gone.

I hope you die in a painful torture way and burn in hell for eternity.

What a BORING ASS movie!!

 

This is ANTI-Gravity. Where Gravity was a walk to Hell and back - this was just a walk through the park.

 

Still much better than Intheshitter though. But it won't touch Gravity's greatness in any way, shape or form.

 

As the Shay was busy telling you all for the past three months.

Shay, I need to know how good Passengers will be.

Thanks in advance.

[shayhiri]

You have come to the right person.

 

Just give me an hour to consult my books and visions.
