Movies Discussion Thread V1: Ratings and Opinions

What if I start watching "Alien" series with "Prometheus" ?
I won't be asking many questions then I guess

Still you will be asking questions.

Have you seen it?

If you haven't then please do see it.
You can answer those questions yourself if you stress your mind a bit.This time they have included many philosophical things.logically the climax is almost perfect and no sequel is required.But it is a bit tricky too as it also leaves a scope for the team to build a new story.If you liked alien you will like it too.

I'm yet to watch the whole 'Alien' series...so what do you say, should I start the way it was made?

Rec 3 - Nothing new. The only new thing is premises and the setting. Rec will go on like Saw for 6-7 parts, I guess.

In my personal opinion yes.Watch alien first then Prometheus.In this way you will feel more satisfied after watching the later.

Forgot to mention Michael Fassbender as David in the later has really done a good job.

Tonight you're mine (You Instead) - Watched this again. Indie movie, very well made. Nice love story. Nice songs. Different. Slowly grows on you.

P.S. - What a coincidence. Its by David Mackenzie, director of Perfect Sense.

Guys since Horror is a very famous genre can we have a thread with must watch movies irrespective of the language.

 

[Faun]

Why don't someone make a movie named Horrorscope. It should include someone ordering horoscope online and then it turns into horror.

Devil 6.5/10

Interesting movie. Liked it and it surprised me as I did not expect such a compelling story from it.



//Influence of SAW if I may add?

 

[rhitwick]

I'm not taking part in the scriptwriting. They have already stolen my idea and made "Contagion" !

Yes u shud watch from the start as its one of the best sci-fi movies of all time....

//Influence of SAW if I may add?

I wont compare it with the SAW.
Its purely supernatural.

I kind of don't agree with the bold part. Lots of questions are unanswered. The reason are as follows:

Spoiler

1. Who are the engineers and where do they come from?
2. If they created humanity, why they wanted to destroy us by creating that bio-weapon?
3. Why did they create that bio-weapon?
4. The protagonist in the final scene does leave the planet in one of engineer's space ship with "David the android" and does speculate about a sequel.

SAW 1..last scene...I was pointing to.

The Exam - 6/10
Movie was very good except for the last 5 min..they ruined the whole plot

 

[rhitwick]

Safe 5.8/10

Its a Jason Statham movie where he uses the gun much than his fists! What else can I say.

 

[yashvisent]

Prometheus 6.5/10

On what basis ??

 

[Faun]

On what basis ??

It was almost a rehash of previous parts with some hippy philosophical crap (already seen before).

All those questions have answers.Read what i have mentioned again.The movie has gone too much into philosophy.You have to think a lot here.Its not the regular alien movie.
Hint :- The matrix series.
Moreover i would like to re-quote that sentence again by making a small change. i think you missed these.

logically & philosophically the climax is almost perfect and no sequel is required.But it is a bit tricky too as it also leaves a scope for the team to build a new story

Now i think you will understand.

 

[vickybat]

^^ Well okay but i think answer for point no. 2 is important and maybe it will get answered in a sequel. Agree with the philosophical part.
Also David made some antagonistic actions.

 

[quan chi]

^^

Spoiler

Have you seen the Terminator series that is your answer no 2.

Hope you will understand. lets not add any more spoilers.

Edit:- i feel thats a straight answer.Therefore added a spoiler tag.
