Don’t be tempted by the cast of Hugh Jackman, Thandie Newton and Rebecca Ferguson, this is a mess.

Set in the near future, global warming has flooded most of the world.

People have been forced to retreat to the last remaining dry areas, where Hugh Jackman and Thandie Newton own a business, where clients pay to be hooked into a machine, that enables them
to relive happy memories from the past.

However it all goes horribly wrong, a bit like the film.

The film is just a dreadful mess and isn‘t worth two hours of your life.

New on Netflix

Just stick this on instead I reckon:

Strange Days (1995) ⭐ 7.2 | Crime, Drama, Sci-Fi

2h 25m | 18

I watched The Creator this afternoon and thought it was dreadful. It borrowed a whole bunch of movie cliches from other movies, whether the army grunt thing from Aliens, the being swines to savage Asian villages from Platoon, the future being generally grim from Mad Max, or everything being set in the dark from Bladerunner. Throw in generic movie cliches like the "walkie talkie" failing when important information needed to be relayed or the "security men" arsing about so missing the protagonist going past on the video screen and it just seemed like mindless drivel. It even had the Jesus narrative of the "creator" having a child who would save humanity. Ffs, if this is what they're capable of I wish the scriptwriters would have stayed on strike.

Meh, may as well not bother going to see any (hollywood) movies then, there is very little that is still original out there. Not like this is anything new either, plenty well known/lauded directors have built their careers off of doing the very same (Lucas, Tarantino). I don't care if something is original as long as it is good. Just cos something is new and fresh doesn't make it better than something that has been done before.

An absolute classic and the basis for a Fatboy Slim hit

This was so bad as well though.

As a Fatboy Slim fan I am disapointed in myself that I didn't know this.

Haha, well that is a problem. I liked it myself. Plenty worse films out there that are both more and less original, good leads, and it looks cool. Originality is still massively overated tho!

I was happily suspending belief until they decided that an advanced society in 2060 would decide the best use of the advanced tech would be to build a robotic farmer that was as old and generally decrepit as the Hollywood stereotype of Vietnamese farmers. As mentioned above, the sheer number of tropes used made it feel like it was taking the mickey out of sci-fi movies, but I think it was deadly serious.

They then topped this, of course, by having a Tibetan monastery, full of robot monks. Quite why robots would need to ape Buddhism wasn't really explained (nor indeed why the robots seemed to need to eat, drink, and sleep either, but hey ho).

You Got Mail, starting Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan love story, just to show posters on here, I have a sensitive side. lol and not a swinging brick !

Now showing the Irish Gangster series Kin, thought it was pretty good, full of bad language so fore warned, just to show I have a "hard "side, in case anyone takes the piss out of me for watching You Got Mail... This is on BBC1. Full first series.

The Killer
A tad bit boring at times, but worth a watch. 6/10

 

[McBain]

The Killer

Just an intimate, well shot bunch of pretentious nonsense with no memorable or redeeming features that makes you wonder why he didn’t just finish Mindhunter instead of wasting everyones time with this.

1 Bucket Hat out of Five.

Focus. Seen it before but one of the better suggestions the Netflix algorithm had last night. Pretty decent and the scene at the football game with sympathy for the devil is class.
