Tye Sheridan can't act bad a priori.

 

 

Case is closed.

I was deceived again, by crafty trailer producers 😂..

 

The nostalgic characters displayed all over the trailers only appeared at the car race in the beginning, and the third act. 

 

99% of the movie is about the 3-4 main characters, and their generic avatars.

 

...so that was a slight disappointment, but overall, I give it a B+. Awesome action scene in the beginning, and third act.

THR makes again negative article about RPO (second in a row today). Interesting and strange

Not sure if anyone has seen this fact.

 

Spoiler

When you know Aech is Helen and look back to the 237 room of The Shining, Steven actually hinted that she is a lesbian.

yeah I was going to bring that up myself and since this could be a book spoiler too

 

Spoiler

in the book, she is a lesbian.  I think that scene was to say she is a lesbian without having to announce it in so many words.

Happy for this. I hope it can reach 600M.

Non-spoilery observation: it was weird how T.J. Miller was the only one of the main cast we didn't see outside of his avatar. I'm guessing his scenes in the real world were cut following his allegations?

maybe. maybe not but if that were true and they didn't want the movie associated with him it would've been so easy to dub his voice. i'm not sure what a real life scene with him would've added.

It's a good question but then again, as was pointed out above, what scene from him would have added something to the movie?

 

Maybe....

Spoiler

A comical scene with him right after his avatar was killed reacting to it in a funny way, saying something about his neck problems or whatever? Maybe they even filmed something like that but I can't imagine the scene not being a bit of a cliché.

Saw this last night. Surprised how good it was. Spielberg is the king of blockbuster entertainment. Probably my second favourite film of the year after Annihilation

Saw this in Dolby Atmos today, the first hour is a mess, but then just as I was going to give up on it, the mess gained clarity. So even as the cacophony of images assaulting your senses never lets up, it gets ... better, and is at its best at the end. 

Good enough for a solid "B" rating.

 

Also, if you are a fan of movie scores, stick around for the end credits, after the closing Hall & Oates song "You make my Dreams" ends, after that comes a several-minutes long orchestral score which is excellent, arguably outstanding. It plays through the entirety of the deep credits.

Jesus christ Steve, cool it with the spoilers.

Trying to avoid spoilers here, but when I saw the WEAPON I really hoped there would be a cameo by JN

My favorite Spielberg film since Catch me if you can (and I liked them all). I can't wait for the Blu-Ray so I can pore through all the Easter eggs. It's great to see this kind of film from my favorite director.
