mind the walrus posted:Primer is loving awful to watch but you begrudgingly have to respect it simply because the director sperged out to an insane degree and legitimately made a complex-rear end time travel movie. What? Primer is beautifully shot, it's an absolute joy to watch.

mind the walrus posted:It looks, sounds, and feels exactly like what it is-- an engineer making a movie. I find this insufferable but I'm not everyone so your mileage may certainly vary. I don't know what you mean by that mind the walrus posted:A valid challenge and if you want to call me a bitch for not taking you up on it that's fair (I am being a lazy bitch) but really the only reason you're saying that is because you know I'm not going to bother to do it. It wasn't an actual challenge, I was just pointing out that every shot in that movie is basically perfect. And I don't just mean visually, there's not a single thing in that movie you could take out that wouldn't harm the overall thing. Primer is basically a perfect movie.

Here's a fun fact about Predator 2. It's not supposed to take place during an unusually hot summer, the director just assumed that all summers would be that hot by the far-off sci-fi year of 1997 because of global warming.

mind the walrus posted:Technically proficient but cold, dull, and unengaging while simultaneously expecting the audience to groove on the same semi-autistic wavelength of its creator. Some people can, some can't, and some can but find it boring so gently caress that noise (me). I don't know what you mean by semi-autistic, it's entirely about the emotions and reactions of the two main characters. I guess if you can't empathize with the two dudes you wouldn't be able to be engaged by it.

The new Planet of the Apes series has good parts, but they both spend too much time on boring human-ape relationships, and in the second one they could have replaced all the human characters with mannequins wheeled around on dollies by stagehands and it wouldn't have negatively effected the movie.Xaris posted:seen everything else and i more or less agree with that but i never saw this. is this movie good? Monsters is good, but it drags in places because it was mostly the actors wandering around mexico ad-libing all the dialogue.

RAGE HOLE posted:One of the reasons why I sincerely love Under the Skin is because it lures you in with the promise of alien sex and Scarlett Johansson naked and then you realize too late you are trapped in a movie theater watching a high concept, frequently deeply unpleasant arthouse film. I liked the part where the mild-mannered, boring dude takes in a beautiful, child-like woman who it turns out is an alien and falls in love with him. Because it was literally exactly like my Japanese animes.

I know it was a zombie movie, not sci-fi, but I've seen nothing but people saying good things about The Battery and I just wanna say I turned it off fifteen minutes in because it was bad

numberoneposter posted:i liked europa report but the ending was a huge meh, these movies need like double plot twists or something like yah aliens great, i expected that all along so its not really a plot twist but how about aliens and then something else, like how moon handled the reveal, it wasnt the end of the movie there was more too it Monsters is worth it for the end with the scene where the monsters meet each other. Between Monsters and Godzilla, the guy has a director trademark of giant monster sex

Professor Shark posted:gently caress, I was hoping I could respond to Joe's post in time... Upstream Color is made by the same guy who did Primer, but unlike Primer it's a really, really loving terrible movie and the director decided to become an actor and he sucks at it and the whole movie is just poo poo. Dude, I down't want to blow your mind, but look up the name of the director of Upstream Color and Primer, and then look up the name of the actor who played Aaron in Primer.
