Last Film You Watched

The Invisible Man (2020)

No, not a documentary about Gylfi Sigurdsson, but rather an updated version of H. G. Wells' science-fiction novel.

I enjoyed the first 60 minutes - particularly the scenes involving Elisabeth Moss as she quietly observed her surroundings as she could sense herself being watched. Didn't really care for the latter half of the picture.

The same director - Leigh Whannell - made the very good sci-fi/thriller Upgrade in 2018 which I prefer over the above.

Went to see it last night, I thought it was quite good.

A good performance from Moss in the lead, loads of suspense and not a bad reboot really.

A proper bucket of popcorn film, enjoy and remove brain

I saw this Friday night and agree with most of what you said- especially about preferring Upgrade.

Elisabeth Moss is great, but the film does fall apart the moment you start to think about it. I don’t always like using the term “plot hole”, as usually a plot hole is something an internet critic on YouTube is nitpicking about, but unfortunately it really does apply to this film. Even some of the more memorable moments fall apart when you think about them for ten seconds- once you overcome the initial feeling of shock and awe you’re left scratching your head (scene in the restaurant the most obvious example).

and the ending :oops:

It’s a film to enjoy without thinking too much about what’s going on.

The ending was basically...

If you’re in an abusive relationship don’t rely on the police/authorities just murder your partner! That’s feminism in action! You go girl! Honestly I think if the sexes were swapped this would be considered one of the most problematic endings in the history of cinema

I’m usually very happy to switch off my brain but...

The whole idea was the “invisible man”, was torturing Elisabeth Moss and she couldn’t do anything about it or prove it because he was invisible. The minute he was exposed and then went on the rampage in the hospital the film had lost all suspense for me. There was no threat anymore- they tried to ratchet up the tension by having the girl and her father placed in immediate peril but that was just a cheap, generic scenario. He’d completely blown his cover at that point and I think the film lost its way
 
James Bond: Skyfall

Very good movie and breathtaking cinematography that reminded me of 1917. I had no idea Sam Mendes directed it and Roger Deakins did the cinematography here. Nice surprise. Highlight of the movie was still seeing Judi Dench playing such a major role. This film almost equals Casino Royale. 8/10

The fact that the final act is filmed in one of the most beautiful parts of the world makes it an instant favourite of mine.
If you're ever stuck for holiday ideas just drive up to Scotland. Past Glasgow, past Fort William, just keep going.
This little bridge is where Bond and M stop the DB5 on the way to the imaginary Skyfall lodge. (It's actually a dead end on the way to Loch Etive.)
Sorry, belongs in a travel thread.

Decided to give this a go after watching a clip on youtube, a zombie comedy film,it starts off really well,quite a few funny bits/lines in it,but gradually loses its way,boy scouts guide done this type a lot better
 
I really enjoy them, as they are what they are, daft, instantly forgettable, but entertaining.

I bloody love Jurassic Park, still looks incredible and is a really good story with lots of nice Spielberg easter eggs in it (Grant having two female ends of his seatbelt in the helicopter at the start, for example)
Lost World is ok, but has some absolute nonsense in it.
JP3 is garbage.
Jurassic World had me as excited as 12 year old me watching the first one.
Fallen Kingdom, again, I enjoyed a lot but had an over reliance on big set pieces and the setup was flimsy as.

Can't wait for the new one and the Camp Cretaceous live action series. The short they did last year was awesome

Who’d have thought it was possible for a film with these two in to be a truly dreadful film.

Jones is an expert tracker, survivalist, unarmed combat, DelTorro is one of his former special forces students, who goes on a killing spree due to the effects of PTSD.

Anyone with a drama O’level could’ve written it.

Shockingly bad.
