Atrociously and occasionally hilariously bad. It's a movie that doesn't know whether it wants to be an anime, Mass Effect, Flash Gordon, Brazil or teenage fan fiction, so they just threw everything together in the worst scifi genre blend ever. It has no direction to it at all, the first half is ridiculous on exposition with Channing Tatum using a random scifi word in a sentence, Kunis repeats it as a question and Tatum then explains it. Over and over. Sean Bean lives on a bee farm for no reason except that it becomes a really convenient plot point to find out that Kunis' character is the queen, because bees are genetically engineered to recognize royalty or some smart dumb shyt.

:snoop:

Meanwhile bounty hunters walk around like rejects from Blade II and get written out of the movie just as quickly, half the characters are a parody so it makes no sense why other characters are so damn serious and it takes the main character until the final act to discover something the movie shows us in like the first fifteen minutes, making the story develop ridiculously slow as she meets all three space siblings in a row, and constantly trusts everything they tell her even though they constantly smirk like only villains do. Meanwhile we get occasional hiccups in the story development for phoned in action scenes that are only there to have action. There's no rhythm or rhyme to them, especially since it mostly consists of Tatum getting the better of his foes due to his apparently really overpowered hover boots.

Meanwhile Kunis proves that she should never, ever, venture out of the (romantic) comedy genre again, she doesn't have anywhere near the screen presence required to lead a movie. Funny enough I see a lot of people complaining about Eddie Redmayne in this but I thought he was the best thing in this. He was the only one (outside of a strangely committed Sean Bean) who put in some work and tried to make his lifeless villain character work.

But most of all it's clear that the Wachowski's are way out of line, a clear example of what happens when film makers get a card blanche to do whatever they want, because that's what they did here, and it's horrible.

so this morning i watched "road games"
an australian film starring two americans (stacy keach, jamie lee curtis):troll:
pretty much a cross between "duel" the early steven speilberg movie
and rear window the hitchcock movie
:lupe:a long haul trucker becomes convinced a man driving a van is killing hitchhikers
but his personality is so weird that most people think HE is the killer :francis:
at the end he crashed up his truck
but like "rear window" the van driver is captured
it was a good movie but parts of it made no sense whatsoever :mjcry:
i read imdb and apparently the original ending was cut/re-shot

Hardware 1990-DOn't really know what to say about this movie. It was trying to do too much instead of having fun as a killer robot movie.

Gargoyles 1972-Really stupid fukking movie because of the plot holes, but Bernie Casey as a gargoyle is classic fukkery

How did you like this? I caught the opening and it was going slow as shyt.

I liked it a lot, thought Gould was awesome as the lead. I can understand you feeling it was going slow though and the pace doesn't really pick up too much so you probably wouldn't like the rest of it too much. Plot kinda wraps up quick towards the end and meanders a bit in the middle, I liked the whole look/atmosphere so much that the slowness didn't bother me though.

So sad this show's gone
It should've gotten two or three more seasons at least
It also should've been on adult swim to begin with

:whew:

Very well written and acted turn on standard police dramas
Highly recommended high quality television

Episode 6 has to be my hands down favorite.
