Objective nay, but personal kinda yay.
I'm actually on a cruise right now. No Jason though.

I always thought it was pretty fun. And Hewitt was never hotter.

Very good movie. I’m surprised just about all around. I’ll echo darkpast above and say I wasn’t a huge fan of the main human female. She’s far from bad, but she simultaneously over and underacts. Owen Teague as Noa was fantastic, though. I think she was hindered by an underwritten character that didn't go too far one way or another. Although her American accent was kinda shaky. I was waiting for her to ask Noah for a spot of tea.

Great, we can look forward to a mediocre, glorified TV movie. Maybe even Henry Thomas cosplaying as Jason Miller's ghost.

If I was a fan of those Oceans movies I'd probably be pretty hard right now. Alas...

Isn't it basically a rehash of the first one? A movie I didn't care much for the first time.

I think Spaeny should have been nominated if not won an Oscar last year. I've only seen O'Conner as the failson version of Prince Charles in The Crown but I liked him, better than McNulty's OTT portrayal in later seasons. Andrew Scott is always good, although I can never really unsee him as Moriarty.
So yeah, so far so good. Of course, I won't be watching because as you all know I think Rian Johnson ruined Star Wars.

I haven't seen it, but I know it's a popular animated movie for families that did well financially/critically. I'm surprised there hasn't been a sequel/prequel/whatever done for it yet. Probably because most of its good will is thanks to the opening scene and the rest is kind of forgettable.

I enjoyed it for the most part. The CG was a little more prominent (or at least noticable) than in Fury Road, and it was strange how Furiosa being a girl suddenly stopped mattering in Joe's city, but still a pretty fun movie. Hemsworth reminded me of Heath's Joker (in a good way)I agree, especially since they are both Australian. I joked to my brother that Furiosa has a Mad Max Joker and Mad Max Bane in it. Glad you enjoyed it. I had a blast. Oh yeah, Immortal Joe. Good call. (Not to mention Tom Hardy himself in flashbacks... er, flash forwards)

His brother doesn't seem to be in a good place, either.

One of the few eps Trey and Matt essentially apologized for. Oh. I was not aware of that.

Cubed (which I genuinely like, as opposed to being a lesser evil situation. The rest suck, though)

It's in my tp 10 Hitchcock at least. It was originally released in 3D; I actually have a 3D copy on blu ray.

5/10 Its watchable but never really impressed me. I prefer the South Park episode, Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow. One of the few eps Trey and Matt essentially apologized for.

So we are all going to forget about this Reagan film? David Arquette's sole directing effort. Not as good as I'd hoped.

Global warming causing coldness to chase people and zoo wolves to turn into the monsters from The Descent gives new meaning to the term "libtarded". But it mostly delivered on the disasters. I came to see a tornado tear up LA and a tsunami drown New York and got it... in like the first 45 minutes. Second half is kinda meandering, though. Half the world is exterminated and all we're worried about is curing Emmy Rossum's paper cut, meanwhile Dennis Quaid does an ice hike to reach his son and do nothing once he gets there. Shrug.

As it went along I started to think this was going to be an origin story for the villain in the original Apes, which kinda psyched me out for a more consequential film than it ended up being. Not that we need fanservicey tie ins for everything, but even on its own, it sort ends on an anticlimax. The human character does what she does and luckily none of the good apes are hurt so both sides can have a weepy goodbye and no hard moral questions are raised. I'm also pretty sure the villain has the same ending as Disney's Tangled... I was fine with the characters themselves, though if we never see any of them again, I wont be too upset. As James alluded to, it was a clever idea to have Caesar as a messiah figure and especially having an ape using his image for their own ends as real life people do with God, but it could have been explored more. All in all it's pretty decent, and doesn't hurt a near perfect trilogy the way Toy Story 4 did. CGI has probably never been better, you really forget you're looking at guys in mocap suits. You think the CGI looks better than The Way of Water? KotPotA looks incredible, but I still put TWoW on its own level above everything else. Isn't CG hair harder to render than smooth skin? Plus the Na'vi are 10 foot blue aliens so we don't really have anything to compare them to as we do with real apes, so it's more impressive to me that the apes in this look so convincing.
