October 2015 looks surprisingly compelling 

[DAJK]

Oct looks fantastic this year.

 

Our Brand is Crisis looks bland though.

[CoolioD1]

it feels dirty to admit it but I am looking forward to the scott more than the spielberg.

Does this have sequences filmmed in IMAX? It might just be my first Imax film

No, but it was filmed in 3D.

[Alpha]

I would expect this to be a dud, tbh the trailers made it look like the most generic way to adapt this story.

Well, The Martian is based on a funny, poignant sci-fi survival story while Bridge of Spies looks like a standard Cold War thriller.

 

Nothing really wrong here

Five stars from Robbie Collin:

Several comparisons to FURY ROAD. Apparently the 3D is excellent and genuinely innovative. I like Collin a lot so I may see it in 3D.

The Verge: "Astonishing"

 

Very positive review by A.O. Scott

 

Scott Mendelson has mixed views on the buildup in the movie, but the climax is "exhilarating"

The movie's fate will be determined by how people react to the final set piece which is the actual walk. If done well as the reviews suggest, it could lead to great word of mouth of " You have to see the world trade center walk in IMAX"

Zem, stick to live action forever, please

Yep, Mendelson's review is what makes me think WOM will be good.

[Chewy]

I remember when "directed by Robert Zemeckis" was exciting.

 

2000?

[AniNate]

Reviews appear to be indicating he pretty much nailed this, that it's of a piece with his 80s/90s work

The trailer at Black Mass convinces me I will be unable to watch this with that accent, but if reviews are good enough...

[grim22]

Zem, stick to live action forever, please

 

You mean you didn't like these?

 

 

 

 

Zemeckis really tried his best to be the pioneer in motion capture movies. Just too bad that the Uncanny Valley killed all of them. As per usual, we should have waited for Cameron to come along and perfect it.

[CoolioD1]

zemeckis seems more interested in the technically side than the story side. I'm not surprised people are saying the tightrope sequence is much better than the rest of the film. probably a more extreme example was Flight where the plane crash sequence was incredible and the rest was... not. luckily for this movie they'll save the set piece until the end.

[RichWS]

I was hoping for positive word. I haven't done IMAX since Gravity so I've been itching for something worth the extra cash.

[RichWS]

Never ceases to astound me how Zemeckis was able to make Beowulf.
