Same and that's because it was so heavily marketed as a "made for 3D movie" that I swore it off immediately. It wasn't until it was piratable that I realised my mistake. Now Carl urban is stuck doing the boys. If I had known it'd lead to this I woulda watched it in theaters multiple times
Really sad what happened to Urban. I wonder if things would be different had Hollywood realized he would be one of the last good action stars. Now we’re stuck with geriatrics and poofy haired softies.
i went with my sister at a midnight showing. Sorry to say anon but we still agree that it was the best cinematic experience we've ever had. My own regret is not seeing blade runner 2049
They need to start rereleasing cult classics that most people missed out on. I bet zoomers AND millennials go for it. I saw Speed Racer 5 times in the theater and I feel deeply for people who missed out.

he only thinks of cool scenes, but is too lazy to put them together in an intelligent way
Islam is right about this. The based parts of Islam dont make up for the moronic parts though. I suggest we use LGBT as a weapon to dismantle Islam and then rebuild society after the Muslim - gay wars have burned off enough undesirables
For a few years now I email myself every movie or tv show I watch, with movie or tv in the subject, so i can go back and review when i need or want. no i don't have a separate organized note app and don't know how to start.
Its why I stopped reading the jack reacher books
The big twist at the end of a story was that a psychologist was hypnotizing patients into murdering people for them

Here it is, read the plot summary for a good cringe
yeah thats how I feel about any time travel inserted into sci fi (unless its a comical story not taking itself seriously)
That was brainwashing though, right? And I’d argue more killings have been committed through some form of brainwashing than anything else, so not particularly absurd.
I remember seeing this in the cinema with friends and not having any idea what the movie was even about beforehand.
Pretty sure we were the only people there. It was okay.
>sci-fi thriller
Yawn.
Just give me a scifi movie. Stop tacking all this other nonsense onto it like "action" and "thriller".
That shit is just to keep ADHD morons engaged, but it's a detriment to the scifi parts.
>wonder how this person got all the funding and shit for this >oh it's debra winger's son
Hard pass. I'm not even disputing whether it's a decent film, though I'm sure it's just some pseud trying to imitate Shane Carruth (himself an aggravating pseud, so it's like pseud squared), but a person like that taking up space in the indie film world should be fricking shot.
Does Sunshine fit in this era? I feel like it does, flew under everyone´s radar somehow.
Its one of those movies i can never stop thinking about, my personal favorite sci-fi, together with Pandorum.
I haven't seen this but I seem to remember people saying the trailers were very misleading, is this the one that turns into a horror movie halfway through or am I getting it mixed up with Event Horizon?
It does, but its a good watch throughout, im a bit biased though lol...
Honestly a pretty good sci-fi, nothing too far out of reach, tech-wise, just the way i like it.
It turns into Event Horizon at the end actually, but it was fine. It was all set up before and made sense with the story, I think everyone was just in a general Boyle froth at the the time, wanting him to make the movie they were expecting.
I watched the sequel at around 2am on a small TV in a Tokyo hotel room and I think it's for the best that I don't recall anything from it other than it was absolutely shit.
Looper was great, except for the biggest time travel paradox ever committed to cinema. The ending made the entire film pointless. It’s still Ryan Johnson’s only good film.

OP is probably a delusional Gen Xer, but the part about the sci-fi thriller renaissance actually is true. Around 2010-2014 you had a ton of these kinds of movies (Looper, Inception, Snowpiercer, Edge of Tomorrow, etc.)
I think they may have been riding off of the success of Avatar.

so astutely implies, an effort to cash in on the indie cred and moderate financial success of first Primer, then Upstream Color.
This movie was shit from Day 1. The in universe lore never made sense and the entire flow and vibe of the movie felt clunky. Those were my exact thoughts before TLJ was even a fish swimming in Rian's homosexual gay balls.
I remember it, and love it
The only movie I regret not seeing in theater. Sorry Dredd bros.

hes in mortal kombat or something now
I’m sure he’ll get some renaissance from the boys, but his golden age was spent in supporting role irrelevance
That's Interstellar for me
I watched it at home and oh boy
I could feel the regret when my home theater was blasting the score
i went with my sister at a midnight showing. Sorry to say anon but we still agree that it was the best cinematic experience we've ever had. My own regret is not seeing blade runner 2049
I regret not seeing Speed Racer

>saw these films in theaters on back to back weekends
Holy kino
Emily Blunt chopped wood in this movie and it was nice
She was swinging an axe to a tree stump. Big difference between chopping wood.
Loöper sucked.
No it didn’t
it really did though.
Last time you made this thread you whined about both millennials and zoomers why just millennials now?

He just wanted to remake terminator.
>he only thinks of cool scenes
He doesn't even do that. He's just a bad filmmaker.
>trying to torque on Burn Gorman
frick you you homosexual ass b***h
i remember thinking this movie looked so cool and then being super disappointed
I thought Joseph Gordon-Levitt was that guy from Bones with the face I hated but it was actually Torchwood and Burn Gorman
both were in tdkr
No t.hanx not watching
I really wanna see this again but I need to put aside a whole third of a day for it
homosexual plot line ruins it. I'd consider an edit with that shit taken out
Oh wait, every other plot line is equally woke
Nah
Bleh. God had the right idea with smiting Sodom and Gomorrah
Same-sex relationships should be made illegal
Islam is right about this. The based parts of Islam dont make up for the moronic parts though. I suggest we use LGBT as a weapon to dismantle Islam and then rebuild society after the Muslim - gay wars have burned off enough undesirables
tried watching this twice, just couldn't find it interesting
Cloud Atlas is not good. It feels really clunky in a way that is similar to the clunkiness of OP.
I enjoyed. I mean your right but I still round it to be a very enjoyable personal kino
Tom Hanks talking baby talk killed my grandfather. He choked on food, he was laughing so hard.
That’s the true true
Sci-Fi is a boring genre bring back adventure kino instead
legit have no idea what movies I watched from 2009-2017
I watched alot but don't really remember .
For a few years now I email myself every movie or tv show I watch, with movie or tv in the subject, so i can go back and review when i need or want. no i don't have a separate organized note app and don't know how to start.
I just hate time travel, its gimmicky and dumb
Like putting hypnosis into a murder mystery, its fricking moronic
>Like putting hypnosis into a murder mystery
Does that, uh, happen often?
Its why I stopped reading the jack reacher books
The big twist at the end of a story was that a psychologist was hypnotizing patients into murdering people for them
I think it would work for Victorian era stuff when spiritualists were big but yeah that sounds pretty moronic.

It did happen in Oldboy
That was brainwashing though, right? And I’d argue more killings have been committed through some form of brainwashing than anything else, so not particularly absurd.
yeah, it's hard to make a good time travel story, it has to be tight, clear, already a mountain to climb
once they added a mutant psychic too it got especially moronic
>some people here were not already shitposting on Cinemaphile when it was L O S T
the rest of y'all know when I durn to ya
WAAAAAAAAALLLLLT!
WE HAVE TO GO BACK
>L O S T
>he doesn't remember all the Jurassic Park threads
Bunch of tourists in here
willis is playing someone with time travel alzheimers in looper, what a fricking huge coincidence.
For me, it was Source Code
Source Code and Deja Vu are two of my favourite stupid movies.
I torrented this a few years ago. It was pretty shit. 4/10.
This movie sucks ass though
you suck ass and enjoy it, especially when it’s with black men
>mfw one of the better sci-fi movies of 2012 was sued by John fricking Carpenter of all people for plagiarizing Escape from NY/LA
Did carpenter not watch die hard?
I remember seeing this in the cinema with friends and not having any idea what the movie was even about beforehand.
Pretty sure we were the only people there. It was okay.
The comic was better
Didn't know it was based off a comic, I'll give it a look.
Now that I'm thinking about Surrogates I've just remembered this one too.
This movie was your typical action schlock but all the colorful scenes in the fake world make it a decent watch.
All I can remember of it is Gerard Butler's wife in the not-Second Life game where everyone just fricks and Dexter's dance number at the end.
I think he lost his mind a little bit there. Not excusing the behavior, but I can’t bring myself to hold it against him.
>Bruce Willis goes back in time
>Turns into that chink looking israelite
very disingenuous
>millennials don't remember 2012
Bruce Willis doesn't remember either
>sci-fi thriller
Yawn.
Just give me a scifi movie. Stop tacking all this other nonsense onto it like "action" and "thriller".
That shit is just to keep ADHD morons engaged, but it's a detriment to the scifi parts.

I love Rian Johnson but this and TLJ were bad. The man can't into sci-fi.

All good anon, I remember hearing that and meaning to watch it back in the day, completely forgot about it. I'll add it to the backlog.
It turns into Event Horizon at the end actually, but it was fine. It was all set up before and made sense with the story, I think everyone was just in a general Boyle froth at the the time, wanting him to make the movie they were expecting.
The Rainmaker.
Doubt a redheaded woman would blow up a BBC like that
she already had one at home
mutt's law
bruh this is just a copy of Akira / Elfen lide what the heck
Film?
Raised by Wolves
There weirdest big budget show you will ever see in your life bar none and its not even close.
Reminder: rian johnson has been shilling himself here since brick. Him spamming about his own movie is probably the only reason anyone watched it.
So if you ever see a thread praising a rian johnson movie, rian johnson either posted it or is in it.
This movie is kino and I wish I had a dad.
This movie is good, it is kind of a wholesome movie
My manchild friends why drag me to every crappy blockbuster made me see this, and to my surprise it was pure kino. That and speed racer.
I remember.
Classic, i just wish that the 2nd one was never made, a combination of chinkfluence and wokeness garbage.
I watched the sequel at around 2am on a small TV in a Tokyo hotel room and I think it's for the best that I don't recall anything from it other than it was absolutely shit.
>kino
>Whole plot doesn't even make sense and contradicts itself if you think about it for more than 2 seconds
literally every rian johnson movie
Time for my monthly rewatch of Existenz
Top tier. Jude Law and Cronenberg are a fantastic match, wish they had done more.
>looper
financed by china to say china is the future. look it up. frick you op
Looper was great, except for the biggest time travel paradox ever committed to cinema. The ending made the entire film pointless. It’s still Ryan Johnson’s only good film.
Supernova (2000) is a favorite of mine, went way under the radar.
Rainmaker approved.
Looper more like Pooper

Had a lot of garbage though
