Jandrew Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 The theater had us legit walk into the climax. Even though it’s the theater room right behind him, he somehow forgot it hadn’t let out yet. Dawg. Hope this doesnt sour the experience, we’re so excited for this. Imagine walking into the last 2 minutes of IW... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Bao was such a sweet little short, I really liked it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Bao's pretty nice, but I think its themes have been done better before. Gets most of its mileage out of the image of an angsty dumpling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 You know how Baumer always talks about how Pixar tries to manipulate people and emotion and most of the rest of us here just roll our eyes? Well, Bao is the first time I've ever understood where he's coming from on that front with them. Absolutely couldn't stand it, and the tonal shifts were completely jarring and mismatched. Probably my single most disliked thing Pixar has ever been involved with. Congrats Cars 2, you no longer hold that title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lava and Blue Umbrella were the same but weren't all that funny to compensate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandrew Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 (edited) Oh yeah, that one part of Bao had the whole theater fucked up. Boy was that a reaction, myself included. Wish I got my mom’s reaction on camera lmao. Okay short, but weird. Not one of their best. Agreed that we’ve already seen that before.

AniNate Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I think one part of it was pretty misjudged. It's a massive mood whiplash that registers with the audience very slowly because they're still laughing at the ostensibly comic image that preceded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jandrew Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I wouldn't call that misjudged, but I agree it was more of a comedic slap. This gif basically sums up the entire room: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korrasami Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Guys, the original session I was gonna go to was sold out! All the sessions from 12-4pm were sold out! So I looked for other cinemas around me and majority of the sessions are gone. Now I’m waiting for the 6:45 session, because everything is sold out. And just for reference I’m from Australia. This movie is gonna be huge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNF2187 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 INCREDIBLES 2, THE (2018) WOW... Disney sure is cranking out a lot of A+s in one year. Dang. We go for 8 years without an A+ from Pixar, and then all of a sudden in the span of 8 months we get TWO of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 What I particularly liked about this one was that it harkens back to some of those classical ideas of superheroes. Crime fighting, secret identities, bright and colorful, vigilantes, and the cartoon classical idea of superpowers. It plays with all of those ideas really well, while mixing in the parenting stuff. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korrasami Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Just came back from watching it! I was pleasantly surprised at how much it blew me away. It was definitely worth the wait. 9.7/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandrew Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 (edited) I like the anachronism. They do it perfectly, especially with the score. Feels like a modern day old 60’s Batman movie without the giant verb cards. Edited June 16, 2018 by Jandrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ2k Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 After my experience today I'm avoiding any times where there could be young children. I really liked the movie from what I saw of it but the children in my theater really ruined the experience for me. I don't know what the hell those parents were doing but they basically just let their kids yell and sometimes scream throughout. They couldn't keep quiet for more than 2-3 minutes at a time and there were loud sounds like someone was constantly kicking the seat a couple of rows behind me. I took my boy of course but other than a few questions he had during the movie he was just mesmerized by the movie and was a freakin angel compared to the rest of the rugrats in there today. Next time I see I2 it's going to be at a 10PM show. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
