Yeah, I also feel like it's the sort of visual spectacle best absorbed on a nice screen. Like say, Cloverfield. Nothing special necessarily but I know some of the discount theaters I've been to don't always have the best set up. So it depends on what the ones round your parts are like. But it's also a good point that a lot of the discount theaters wouldn't normally pick up a film like Hardcore Henry unless it actually did well, a little film like this tanking might not make that cut. Again I guess it's dependent on the discount theaters around you but in my case, if this is actually bombing (man that brings my completely empty theater to perspective I guess, but that actually made shooting the poo poo and drinking beer with my friend more fun) and if it doesn't build even some local buzz then I can't imagine my discount theaters would carry it. It's usually the older big hits

It seemed like they got absolutely every movie at one point, even if only for a week or two. But they weren't able to get Star Wars or Deadpool so now I'm not so sure.

I feel like this movie will do well when it comes out on stream/blu-ray, but will lose something on tv. Any chance to see this in the theater should be taken.

Based on the reception this film's gotten it feels like this decades John Carter. It's a fun movie to see on the big screen, few people are interested in the big-screen release, but it'll eventually make it's money back in rentals, tv broadcasts, etc.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:The film is actually incredibly tightly written, to the point that every single gag contributes to the central theme of embodied cognition. There's a new zombie movie called Pandemic in which the team of protagonists are in a type of hazmat suit. What makes it different is that every time there's an action sequence we see it from the helmet-cam POV. And while interesting it has the same non-immersive effect because you can only see what's directly in front of the 'camera'. The concept is good but the overall execution...not so much. Kind of direct-to-video production values. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FQ88BPzSTQ

I could see it being a fun thing to throw on the background for a party or something, because you don't really need to pay attention to it to get the gist of the plot. I 10000% echo the sentiment that if you're even a little bit interested in it, go see it in a theatre if you possibly can though.

Major missed opportunity in this movie: Akan never bursts someone into a cloud of gore with his brain, just throws people around. If you give your villain psychic powers in a hard-R action movie, I wanna see some dudes getting wrecked with psychic powers.

This is how I feel. It's not a good movie by any means. But it's fun as hell. It's like a first person 80s action film. I enjoyed every second of it, but you're definitely there for the experience rather than the actual story.
