It`s fantastic mate and genuinely unsettling.

Sam Neil is fantastic.

My only complaint, is that they left it at that and never did a sequel, as it was set up perfectly for a follow on.

It is really not fantastic.

Sam Neil is not fantastic, he phones in a T-bone sized ham that should have meant he had to retire.

My complaint is it doesn't make any sense, and the ending is a hasty tacked on joke, the studio hated it, the only fun part in it is the blood soaked hell orgy and that got 99% cut because it was a bit much. Somehow the original film reels ended up stored in an abandoned mine in Transylvania or something which flooded or burst into flames so can't be retrieved.

As mentioned before, it has a couple of bits that are ok, the set designs borrow heavily from Doom/Quake computer games, so that 90's space marines fps theme is there. And there is some groundwork done visually that ends up in parts incorporated into the matrix a couple of years later.

To get my own back against nic coppola, I wouldn't make him watch his films on a loop, I'd have EH on...

One of my favourite sci fi films on this week.

 

[SuperTimCahill]

First Jurassic Park...perfect piece of cinema.

Damn right!

 

[davep]

I agree. A sort of Jumanji meets Fallout.

Nowhere near as stupid as many recent films that are trying to be relevant...

Really wanted to see this when it came out, then saw how badly it got panned on release and ended up missing it. Maybe I'll give it a go.

Captain America, brave new crap.

Complete and utter tosh from start to finish.

Its bad, really, really bad.

Are you a fan of the MCU? If so in what way is this so much worse than any of the other similar films they have produced (ie not Avengers End Game etc)?

Haha. Actually was talking aobut the other one. I already know that EH is a stone cold sci fi horror classic @Rita_Poon mate

Watched this again last night... seen it loads of times... but it's just MEGA

TOTAL RECALL!!!!! (1990)

Arnold's star power was at it's peak during the 90's and this intelligent sci-fi chase shoot 'em up is just brilliant fun.
Three-breasted mutant Martian women, exploding decompressed faces, tons and tons of ultra-violence, Michael Ironside in a badass leather jacket, Arnold snapping limbs and blowing baddies away - it's a breathless actioner with loads of cool ideas and a brilliant is-he-or-isn't he dreaming subplot.
Mad/pervy Dutch director Paul Verhoeven throws in some typically OTT sex and gore and Arnold is just boss in this, delivering blistering one-liners and tearing up the screen.
Sharon Stone as Arnold's wife though.....
BLAM!
"KONSIDA DAT A DEEVORSE!!!"

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

Just saw Nickel Boys. My best picture of the year and miles better than Anora

It's OK for a movie night in. Not played the game it is based on but my guess is it contains the odd vehicle chase whilst shooting at things ...

 

[TrailerTrash]

O brother, where art thou?

Watched Friday night.

In the words of Partridge “ruddy, bloody superb”.

Mah hair!

 

[Cels]

Decided to watch "He Never Died " again for about the sixth time. It's not a particularly brilliant movie, but I like it.

*adds to Watchlist for this evening. Must be a classic going by Poon's taste.

How have you not seen Event Horizon yet?! For shame!
Don't listen to @Rita_Poon , mate...

Same Neil took a good part... But IF they had got the Cage-meister to play his part, my word! It would have been absolute scenes (pardon the pun) everywhere !

Just saw this now, but the point still remains...

The special effects are a bit dated, but it's still a classic.

Still better than the remake!

And I'm always reminded of that one episode of 'Beavis and Butthead', where they're watching it and Butthead remarks: 'Check it out, Beavis! This chick has three boobs!' To which Beavis replies: 'Whoa! How many butts does she have?!?'

Thing is, "action heroes" now are a loadashite. Bad beauts like Jason Statham, "The Rock", Jason Momoa and other such bland planks.

Miss the 80's and 90's when despite limited acting ability, bruisers like Arnold, Stallone, Van Damme and Willis had enough physicality and charm to carry movies. A lot more physical stunts and craft to the fights and action scenes back then as well.

No, I agree with you, mate!

Case in point, if you've ever tried to make an attempt to watch any of the films in the 'Fast and the Furious' franchise with Vin freakin' Diesel .

'It's all about family, cuz!'
Jesus wept...

"Vin Diesel"...... jarg action hero name that. Bad gravelly voice....Clint Eastwood imitation vocal after 20 cans of "Monster" energy drinks.

The massive fart
