Awesome, I'm ready for it. I hope that late embargo isn't a bad sign. Way more hyped for this than I was Black Panther. I pretty much knew what to expect there.

I don't care what Natalie would do for love. I care what she would do for a fresh review of this movie. LOL.

Did Terrence Malick direct this commercial?

Evolution is something I believe in, so I'm finding this movie very interesting. I'm pretty sure it's getting smashed by Black Panther, but I hope it can make a little loot

Now see, if I were in your shoes, I'd just presume that this film is so brilliant that even someone like Rian Johnson can see it's good.

I am not sure if I can review give a grade yet. I did not sign anything so I am guessing I can. But yes it is good.  Best movie so far in 2018.

@Dexter of Suburbia knew this answer months ago.

I was aware

 

I wanted to know because I wanted to see if the audience that saw it at a test screening still thinks it's good.  Now I just need to wait for you.  Are you seeing this early?

[filmlover]

I don't think this is gonna do all that well at the box office but I am getting a feeling this will find a very appreciative audience down the road.

They do not let people over 100 into special screenings so @Telehilation will have to wait.

I didn’t attend a special screening, I didn’t see the movie, but rest assured it’s (possibly) good.  I don’t really know, I haven’t seen it.

I won't see it until next weekend. You'll probably see it before me.

I feel it could be the best movie of the year.

Unfortunately unless it is a Disney production, American moviegoers and even critics don't give a chance to many sci-fi movies.

 

So Netflix is the future of (interesting) cinema.

Two movies on my top 20 most anticipated films of the year both come out Feb 23

Mute (Netflix only), Annihilation (Netflix outside of US and China), quite sad.... Not that there's anything wrong with netflix, but as a box office fan eager to track movies I'm excited for, I'm not sure what to make of this.

If you consider that the type of people running Hollywood right now are probably quite similar to the type of people running Washington right now in terms of principles, generational identity, etc, it makes sense that the studios are so myopic so much of the time. Maybe that will change, maybe it won't, it really depends on audiences. 

 

As much as we rag on studios for not taking chances, it's on the masses to crave films that are more original, more ambitious, more daring, and to reward them for that. I do my part at least.
