After watching Everton get pummelled i decided to completely kill my brain by watching that new Jurassic World film

What a total load of arse.

-1million out of 10

Spoiler: Spoiler

Chris Pratt’s bizzare love affair with a prehistoric carnivores killing machine wasn’t the worst thing in this movie. His ability to not be burnt by lava and plough through a load of trained mercenaries was astonishing.

The support cast of the millennial arses is just pyar cringe, the tough bird and the feminine lad who manage to escape dinosaurs. Or the fact she knows how to perform a medical procedure on one. And the main ginger bird is a right pain in the arse, who’d be arsed saving a load of mannmade killing machines that would destroy humanity.

I prayed that everyone one of them was eaten including the writers and directors of this monstrosity of a film. The first one was bad but this on all new levels of gash, Everton levels.

A fair assessment, but I'd give True Romance a 9 just for Patricia Arquette as the tart with a heart - Alabama Worley.

(New) Robocop 5/10

Haven't seen classic Robocop since being a kid decades ago. Is it worth a rewatch or has it aged badly?

Outside of the stop motion on ED-209, it still is a great movie and looks fantastic. Practical effects are hard to beat.

oh aye, very much agreed: for example not just in sci-fi where the original Star Wars trilogy space battles look better than the CGI fests of later movies, but also fantasy films like Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, Never-Ending Story, even the original Planet of the Apes & Jaws had more tangible (i.e. perceptible by touch...if we can imagine touching it, it aids our suspension of disbelief) creatures than CGI efforts, the only exceptions being Gollum and 2005's King Kong having bags of character.

Even Moby Dick from the 50's has a believable massive whale while the 2000's version with Patrick Stewart is a cartoony CGI unbelievable mess.

Even Moby [Poor language removed] from the 50's

True Romance great film, scene between Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken electric, great background music as well, make it one of my top ever scenes in a movie.

Not sure about Apes - By the time War For The Planet.... came around last year it was ridiculous how good those damn dirty apes looked and moved. Love the original movies but they always look very much like people in ape costumes to me.

I've noticed Nightbreed is now on Amazon Prime so I may have a look at that. I remember it being hailed for it's makeup and costumes at the time even if the movie wasn't up to much.

Yeah it’s a cracker . I just find the whole film really enjoyable, a lot of the dialogue across film is really well done .

I haven't seen War, but Dawn was CGI-obvious to me. Too uncanny valley somehow. Took me out of the film.

While the classic films are fairly obviously costumes & make-up (see also 2001), because they're really there they become tangible to the senses. You can suspend your disbelief more effectively because you can imagine touching, even smelling them. They're more real in that sense.

Whether this tangibility-factor is subjective or objective might make for an interesting film-school debate. @McBain

Oh Nightbreed! Almost 20 years ago I sampled the "Everything is true. God's an Astronaut." line for a downtempo breakbeat song I made for chill-out gigs. While that song probably hasn't aged well, I bet the film is still fun. Let us know if you enjoyed it, I'd like to see it again one day.

Just watched Netflix's newly released Extinction. Even though I'm not much of a sci-fi fan I actually thoroughly enjoyed it, and it has a huge twist in it which I always like.

Was very surprised to see (after watching it), that it's been pretty much slated in the reviews by the critics. If I'd had read them before hand then I probably would have swerved it and missed out on it. That's why I try and avoid reviews!

Deffo worth a watch imo.
