Far from a masterpiece, but it's okay. I saw someone say that it's a good movie, with a really good movie hidden inside it and I agree.
Rearrange and re-edit some parts and it could've been really great.
I like the production design though, Nomad especially, that thing looks cool as hell whenever it's on screen, or whenever you see it's targeting projector.
This movie was a pretty small production compared to a lot of other sci-fi blockbuster stuff over the last decade.
Only $80 mil which is surprised me a lot, they keep making a big fuss in the marketing about how they filmed it on really cheap cameras.
They realized everyone noticed the money laundering of a 400,000,000 dollar movie looking like absolute shit for no reason so now they're pretending 80,000,000 is some small sum when its fricking not. Not one movie ever made for more than 100,000,000 or so was ever actually worth it except maybe Avatar and mind you that had a similar budget to lots of way shittier looking movies.
Unless your name is James Cameron or Stephen Spielberg you don't need more than 80,000,000 fricking dollars.
>Only $80 mil
Holy shit I had to check that to see if it's true. This proves how much money laundering goes on in Hollywood. I mean the movie was dumb as shit but the production values looked like something three times that budget.
>I'll take any
Same... It's a new original sci-fi world and the trailers have been good. So I'm still hyped for it. Even if I'm pretty sure story line will fallow every other it is just a kid style film we has seen for decades. The KR film Space Sweepers is the same sort of theme too. It's a classic sci-fi set up.
To be fair, I don't go to theaters anymore and tend to just download or stream the media I watch. So my investment in time and effort to watch something is pretty low.
I'm Anglo. My fatigue is extreme, I don't watch movies with blacks on the cover.
I appreciate your webm and the plot summary anons. I just skim threads like this to kek
There isn't a resistance, no idea why that dude brought it up
He brings it up because he read the thread where it's specially said
>So how is the war even still going when Nomad has been around for years? Like I said, digging in deeper doesn't work.
They didn't know the location of the lab with the super weapon, or all the resistance bases. They also didn't know the nature of the super weapon.
In addition LA had been nuked in the past so they probably thought they were dealing with a similar level threat.
Partially, and it does bring the movie down a bit. But there are a couple of times the movie strays away from this, like when the robots in the provincial capital were going to taze Alpha, or the robots that tortured the female commander's kid to death. If there was more of this kind of thing I think the movie would have had a stronger, better message as opposed to what feels like at the end "Asia good, robots good, white Americans bad"
The NOMAD is pretty sick, and the way it's used in some scenes is really neat.
Conceptually it's the space laser/rods from god cliche, but the way its presented is pretty fresh. Easily the single best design from the film and I can see why they made it so prominent on the posters and marketing.
Why isn't he holding the gun properly?
Doesn't even look like he's actually holding it, I'm pretty sure that's been photoshopped in.
>Only $80 mil

Well in the MCU's case we know most of it probably goes just to paying the actors, but it really goes to show how many of the blockbusters of the last decade have just been money laundering.
The upcoming Marvels movie looks like it was shot on a green screen in comparison and it has a budget in the mid to upper $200 millions.
Joshua blows up the space base with Alpha's help and dies getting Alpha into a space pod after the doors broke because Alpha forgot to use her magical technology powers to turn off the drone attacking them. The space base crashes and Alpha looks at the ruins smiling for some reason even though her dad just died in front of her
Again, her dad just died in front of her. >They won the war.
Did they, though? The Nomad winning the war is brought up a lot, but there is nothing in the movie to make you believe it. The New Asia side just gets curbstomped the entire movie after the opening scene, and even in that scene way more New Asia people die than American people. The poor worldbuilding really bothered me.
They are pushing him so hard. I just can't get behind his acting. It's like he is staring off into space or something. Like he is an empty vessel. It's weird. It's not bad acting, it more like he doesn't give a shit and just kind of doing it because he is bored. Just strange.

So humans won and all the robots now coexist with them or something? what caused the robots to go crazy?
Robot side wins and then the movie immediately ends.
Apparently the robots never went crazy and the nuke went off due to human error? That part of the movie was extremely weak, just like the rest of the worldbuilding. And it was just one random Japanese robot saying it too, how the hell would he know? Why wouldn't proof of this get spread?
The robots never went crazy. The nuke on LA was a coding error. The robots only wanted peace but humans started hunting them down after that LA incident.

Her expression was a combination of emotions behind it, she has a tearful smile at the end. Happy at the victory they've won, but also mourning the loss it required.
I'm just playing along with what the movie is saying, if you wanna dig on a deeper level you can probably try and sort out the logistics around if their victory is actually locked in, but I don't even know if we have that much lore available to speculate on that kinda stuff well.
The American General at the start of the movie seemed very concerned about Nomad though, also the only reason New Asia gets curbed is because of how they're able to just drop nukes on them from heaven. Nomad is a pretty OP weapon.
Digging in on a deeper level is just shows a pile of inconsistencies, which is the primary issue I have with the movie.
Also, being told that the war is won or lost over something is much different than experiencing it. The problem I have with the starting premise of the movie (stop the New Asia superweapon from blowing up our superweapon) is that it felt like the Americans were fully in control basically the entire time and that New Asia couldn't do anything but get crushed.
>also the only reason New Asia gets curbed is because of how they're able to just drop nukes on them from heaven
So how is the war even still going when Nomad has been around for years? Like I said, digging in deeper doesn't work.

Resistance? It's an enemy nation. And it looked like the bases were in cities. They should have been attacking the cities already and taking them over.

Her powers don't have very long range yet. The movie is ambiguous on purpose about what she can do, and even the things we know she can do she just doesn't bother half the time for no reason
Worst movie I watched this year in the theather.
And I like Tenet, I mean I have nothing against George David Washington, he is decent.
but movie sucked ass,
generic Sci-Fi designs, generic story.
Based tenet enjoyer, I will trust your opinion and not bother to leave the house this weekend
Thanks, was considering seeing it this weekend but will skip now.
Thanks Tenetbro.
Tenet was indeed pretty good, sad to hear about this film tho
>I like Tenet
lmao this dog shite must be horrendous then

At this point I'll take any "big" budget original scifi I can get
It's mediocre to bad.
That's what I thought going into it, but I wished I hadn't bothered. I thought about walking out halfway through, and I should have just done that.
This movie was a pretty small production compared to a lot of other sci-fi blockbuster stuff over the last decade.
Only $80 mil which is surprised me a lot, they keep making a big fuss in the marketing about how they filmed it on really cheap cameras.
It does look good most of the time (the Shagohod looks like shit) but looking good for the budget doesn't make a movie.
They realized everyone noticed the money laundering of a 400,000,000 dollar movie looking like absolute shit for no reason so now they're pretending 80,000,000 is some small sum when its fricking not.

All the reviews immediately jumping to the same talking points make them feel paid.
>American BAD
>White people BAD
>Humans should die so robots can take over
It's shit. Edward's liberal cuck ideology is smeared all over this flick.
I'm the total opposite, cool visuals can usually win me over as long as the rest is serviceable.

Why isn't he holding the gun properly?
What do you expect from a nig?

Any good designs?
The fully robotic robots look pretty neat.
The NOMAD is pretty sick, and the way it's used in some scenes is really neat.

Generic scifi with diversity cast. No thanks
It's like a Blomkamp movie. Nice interesting visuals but utterly moronic plot and character actions
Uh anon, what did you mean by posting this Eli?
Don't worry about it.
Who is that?
how new r u cheif?
I'm not a Cinemaphile regular, I'm from /m/.
What is your business here?
She’s a cute ginger from Tatarstan with a travel vlogging YouTube channel
>Co-writer of the film also wrote Twilight New Moon
No thanks

Might get an Oscar for visual effects if you ask me so if you just want that then give it a shot.. Other than that it's a pretty generic action flick.
The visuals look blurry and the aspect ratio is stupidly wide.
Yeah, I saw it in imax and I realized there was probably no point in doing that since it turns out they didn't even use imax cameras.
The taliban destroys America's entire nuclear arsenal.
So humans won and all the robots now coexist with them or something? what caused the robots to go crazy?
The robots are the good guys.
Robot side wins and then the movie immediately ends.

So how did it end? someone spoil me I dont care about watching it.

I'll never know (no Black folk policy)
if alphie has magical robot controlling powers why doesn't she just mind control NOMAD?
Her powers don't have very long range yet. The movie is ambiguous on purpose about what she can do, and even the things we know she can do she just doesn't bother half the time for no reason
Only if n man is god
Story is a 5, cinematography is a 9, so it's a 7/10
The main protagonists are the villains which is a nice change.
>siding with human roasties and not AI waifus
no wonder your kind is going extinct
If Black folk are our future I choose extinction.
>siding with a spook who can't cope with death so he betrays his entire species to robots
rather side with humans than side with the super AI that can fully control the planets technology
>remember Akira?
>here's an unlicensed bootleg version
Nah it's more like T2 or Aliens bootleg version, Akira doesn't have a kid
>Akira doesn't have a kid
Whut?
bb-b-but it's an original film
>black lead
Of course not you fricking moron
>scanning thread
>resistance
>AI
>superweapon
Sounds generic as frick. Can anyone for once make a sci-fi movie without a “resistance” in it?
There isn't a resistance, no idea why that dude brought it up
I mean technically the US Army is 'the resistance' in a sense
