Throw in two big actors and forget about the story lol

 

Maybe if they sang and danced I'd buy a ticket

I am guessing we would all enjoy that a lot more than whatever they are serving up with this movie.

She told the story during a Catching Fire promo, which is likely where Graham Norton heard of it to spring it on her this time. THEN she explained that there had been a cast briefing about the sacred rocks while she was still working on another project, so she missed it.  She doubled down on the physical comedy this time, but did not look like she was enjoying herself (her hands covered her face more than once).  She also apologized.

gotcha, thanks for clarification. Should have fact-checked first to jump on the conclusion cause the only bit I saw was like a 2-min clip.

A sci-fi musical set in space, now that would be original for once, a musical that doesn't revel in the past but celebrates looking forward to the future, a far cry from all those rose-tinted glasses twee mimicries of "Hollywood Golden Age" that bring nothing new to the table except marveling at their nostalgic navel gazing (s)lavish simulacra of the real deal.

 

(I realize Kubrick kinda did that in 1968 when he made 2001 aka "Mankind the Space Opera" and it is still the unsurpassed milestone. Goddamn genius. The only musicals set in the future are rock operas taking place on post-apocalyptical earth. Speaking of which, a Mad Max musical set to indus and thrash metal music would be dope, it looked like a big Rammstein music video).

So much for the next Gravity/Interstellar/Martian

 

Not too surprising though, fourquels are never any good.

What does that mean for the fifth movie (Life)?

People seem to have an ethical beef with the movie, wonder what it is about because they seem to hate the narrative choices of the movie just as much as in Colletral Damage.

I'm no less excited for the film.  I haven't read all of the reviews because I don't want to know any more about the film than I do, but I've seen so much snark it's hard for me to consider it thoughtful criticism.  I'm sure there is some in there somewhere, but I am sure I'm going to enjoy this film.  It is just a matter of how much.  Between the actors and the visuals and the effects and the score and having read the script, I know I am going to like it.

 

I have no idea what the numbers will be.  I guess we'll find out next week!

 

 

Yeah, this has been pretty depressing, but I'm still looking forward to it. Seems like there are issues with the ending, but I'll wait and see for myself before I judge. I'm also still sure I'll enjoy it, just maybe not as much as I could have. A lot of the stans on Twitter who read the Black List draft seem very upset that the ending was changed, so I'll be curious to see how it differs once I've seen the movie.

 

Many of the critics seem to have been unaware of the core concept and take issue with it, but that at least is a concern I won't have -- it's a major part of the reason why I became interested in the movie in the first place.

That movie looks like generic Alien ripoff #95

 

Probably DOA

Maybe Jen shouldn't have scratched her ass in the dem rocks

 Maybe she should not have become such an entitled, rude, spoiled little brat.

Pratt and Lawrence valiantly try to elevate the material with their individual charms, but there is a palpable lack of romantic chemistry, while the director, Morten Tyldum, fails to steer John Spaihts' undercooked script into a narratively cohesive whole.

 

 

How close will @Cochofles be?

Extensions in - extensions out - repeat - that has to be hell on her hair.

 

Love the skirt, the bra top is meh and can Pratt get a suit that that isn't 2 sizes too small?

[Sam]

Been hearing lots of criticisms from reviews about the problematic core concepts and the even more problematic way that concept was handled (or more accurately, not handled at all) But what's the consensus, any praises/comments on Pratt/Lawrence chemistry in the romantical sense? That would still be a big factor that can make this movie BO-wise in spite of scathing reviews.
