They should have called this Naps of the Future instead because of how boring it is.

Biggest problem I had was that it needed 30 more minutes or a faster pace.
Why cut right after eating the plastic bar?
What more would you have wanted? Although the overall story and pacing was questionable. I thought the ending worked fine as a way to show that change is inevitable.
It just felt very shallow and devoid of substance. Not a whole lot happened that was interesting, the movie would get started on an interesting subplot here and there but then just drop it entirely for whatever reason.
That was not me but yeah that's what it felt like.
I'll also describe it as a failed pilot of a would be interesting limited show
>failed pilot of a would be interesting limited show
That didn’t cross my mind until just now but holy shit that’s pretty spot on. It definitely could have been a good, slow start first episode of like a 4-6 part miniseries but I feel like on its own there just wasn’t enough to take from it to make the story and concepts satisfying
So it left you wanting more. Sounds like a good thing
The biggest problems with the film, for me, is that they brought up several plot points that they did nothing with, and while the world it setup seemed interesting, it really didn't explore it in an interesting way. In the end, the lack of pain, undercover cop, and art plot points were meaningless. I didn't want more, I wanted a better film.
Maybe ive just been reading too much Gene Wolfe but i want to find a connection with everything thing thats brought up but i can't be sure with movies. Still a decent flick.
Not exactly. More like it didn’t deliver anywhere near enough for it to be worthwhile.
Saw this in an independent theatre opening night with my girlfriend and some friends and I’m pretty sure we pissed off the whole rest of the audience because our whole group couldn’t stop losing our shit and cracking up every time he’s being jostled and shaken up by that fricking chair kek. The shit in OPs pic was really one of the only really interesting parts of the movie and I expected there to be more stuff like that going on but instead we just got little dead boy dick and plastic Hershey’s bars. Didn’t hate the movie but I didn’t love it so it was still kinda disappointing, I thought it was building up to something more grand or at least more gruesome and I wasn’t a huge fan of the tone and color pallet of the movie. It felt dirty and gross but not in any sort of meaningful or artistic way, more like as an afterthought.
is this a copypasta because it's literal reddit
>look he actually responded to thread trying to contribute to the conversation and didn’t even say Black person or homosexual
>LE REDDIT GO BACK
Jesus frick you guys can’t even get the simplest memes right anymore
It was really entertaining. The movie is alternately hilarious and horrifying and the plot is so disjointed and weird that I had no idea what was going to happen
>muh art culture
trash message for something that could have been interesting
your parents should've named you something like Troy or Sebastian because of how gay you are.
In retrospect, it had a fairly simplistic story. Did him being an undercover cop ever even go anywhere?
I just catched this film last night can someone explain it to me ?
Future where humans somehow lost ability to feel pain and sometimes grow seemingly non-functional organs. Turns out, since humans have created so much plastic, those organs were growing for a purpose, to digest plastic instead of food, to adapt. The lack of pain, art, and undercover cop plot lines were irrelevant.
This movie is like Existenz but bad
This movie had so many interesting ideas, but shouldn't have tried to squeeze them all in one movie. The plastic eaters were a fascinating concept, but all the political intrigue it tried to build around them distracted from the whole organ bureaucracy and surgery art stuff. Those aspects were enough to make a whole movie about, and in introducing too many concepts none of them were used to their full potential.
The scene you used for your pic was my favorite in the whole movie. I liked how even in this world of fricked up performance art there were still hacks.
why did eating plastic kill the normies ?
I eat that shit all the time and I'm fine well mostly ...
It was liquidly inside presumably it was full of other stuff like petrol that can kill you pretty fast
It was t literal plastic, it's supposed to be industrial waste. Parte of the subtext of the movie is humans fricked the earth up which is why there are so many aberrations to begin with.
I have never voluntarily watched a movie with kristen stewart in it and I never will
go back to your Soi Wars general
Why did he cry after eating the toxic waste candy bar?
my guess is that he grew a body part that digest the bar and he's happy/accepting of this, big change after he was cutting out his new organs
yeah probably
Literally got filtered plot-wise though I liked the movie a lot. What was the role of those 2 technician b***hes? What does the ending try to insinuate (other that he plastic now)?
Also Lea's breasts were amazing
Haven't seen the movie yet, are the torrents on RARBG legit or dolphin porn?
why not try going outside for once in your life?
Is possibly getting malware from some russian your idea of trying new things in life?
Movie could have been at least an hour longer, why the frick was it cut so short?
Filtered
is bad?
i just finished doctor strange and was going to watch either this or the watcher
It's great aesthetically but it feels kinda incomplete to me. Definitely worth a watch
it's on tpb for instance
Where'd you watch this? Didn't even know it was out. Is it on trackers yet?
I'm so glad everyone shat on this movie like crazy.
I watched it with the lowest expectations possible and ended up enjoying it. Didn't love it, but I've seen trash that was infinitely worse.
Viggo's acting carried the movie
lea seydoux is Hollywood poison,b***h makes everything shes in flop
The French curse...
la françaisé Maledictione....
I feel like this was a movie that really plays with people's expectations. I was expecting gross out horror, instead I got a brooding allegory. I don't even know if I liked it cause I don't know what type of movie it really is. The scifi stuff felt so lowkey. The assassination plotline felt so out of left field. The political angle was unexpected. But I could never tell what the stakes were, or what motivated the characters--and weirdly I think this makes it a good movie to me. I feel drawn to watch it again, and I'm still thinking about the enigma that these characters are.
when I describe the movie in my head it sounds interesting, but the movie itself is super boring
the world is interesting, eating plastic society is interesting, family drama of of the plastic eating kid is interesting, telling the story from the pov of body artists is interesting, mc secretly working with the government is interesting, conspiracy is interesting
and yet the movie is boring
Can we all admit the father has been surpassed by the son yet? Good effects work for the most part in Crimes though.
yeah Possessor was more of a movie instead of ideas stringed together with no connective tissue
that's exactly my problem with most of his stuff, not structured enough
I like brandons work.
Antiviral was better
>father has been surpassed by the son yet
Still waiting for his Scanner,The Fly,Eastern Promises,History Of Violence etc
I was laughing how shit the acting was. There’s a moment in the final scene where Viggos character realises the kids organs were real and the FBI black dude is laughing. Shit was Juno.
The life firmware girls were soo fricking bad.
I just watched it, well 20 min left and i feel you. Theres a lot of scenes but they dont seem to be adding up to a whole. Like its 3 different stories, ths stort of Vigo, the story of the change in humanity, surgery = sex. And the part of how women witness a beautiful woman scaring herself and they feel the need to mark themsleves the same way. Seems much of it is a commentary of how surgery creates the sex appeal we admire in the world, and people stopped focusing on their surroundings to focus only on it (degrading city).
Get ready to be pretty fricking annoyed and extremely let down once the credits start rolling out of nowhere kek
The credits rolled at a fine time, it showed he was actually first natural plastic eater, or that he willed it.
Upsetting all we get are hints of the world, the "inner beauty pagent" and its people, and the dumb firmware girls. Wtf was their point, just to eliminate any threat to the company? (No idea why they killed either guy).
Yeah the motivations for most of the characters were very poorly fleshed out
i liked it. it was fricking weird and gross and mesmerizing. first time ive ever found k stew attractive too.
I liked it but it feels like Cronenberg just read or thought up the sentence "Surgery is the new sex" somewhere and thought he could make a whole movie off that one line
He was afraid to release the news about kid being a natural born plastic eater, wanted to wait a bit.
do we get to see Viggo's penis?
All of the art scenes felt like they were directed by Refn without the neon lights
