300 elements? How's that?

Saw this tonight. Such beautiful cinematography for an action film. The editing was seamless, no shaky-cam anywhere. It felt like an old school action movie from the 70s or 80s. I gave it 5/5 stars.

George Miller is 70 years old, how did this movie not kill him?

I know its silly to compare but Fury Road really makes Age of Ultron look like a piece of shit. I wish this film did Avengers business at the B.O.

This is my favorite action movie since, well probably Rambo IV. Never discount the old guys.

Ugh, the theaters in this area are trying hard to make you see it in 3D. At several theaters, most of the showings are in 3D and the only 3D matinees are before noon. I guess it's going to depend on how long it takes me to do my doctor's appt tomorrow.

Also, not too dredge up the feminist conversation earlier, but this one was a lot less feminist-centric than I expected going into it.

Hazel Motes

I don't wanna keep beating a dead horse, but when I think of all these young hot shot action/comic book movie directors who've made a name for themselves I can't stop thinking about how they all just got taken to SCHOOL by a 70 year old man whos last directorial effort was Happy Feet 2.

The film is quite honestly a masterpiece.

Youth is a gift of nature, but age is a work of art.

Hazel Motes

Its been 30 years since he made a film like this and the stuff in between has lighthearted fluff like Happy Feet and Babe. I imagine this film has been slowly building up and brewing inside of him for the last few decades until it finally exploded violently and beautifully onto the screen.

Sick movie brain still trying to process it

Nice preview of what Junkie XLs score will sound like for Batman v Superman, really enjoyed his work here

Went to the 8:00 showing. 8:05 the manager comes in and says they are having problems with the projector. 8:30 the lights go down and previews start.

27 previews later the lights go down more.....movie is about to start.....NOT. Bearded hipster employee comes in and says they are having problems with the security key. I think to myself, this would have never happened with film.

9:00 the movie starts. It looks like shit. What are they playing some kind of satellite feed? Frames dropping all over the place. Real stuttery like one of those bad Netflix streams. Was this a technical issue or a stylistic choice of the film? I have a hard time believing the film just looks that way.

And the sound was too low.

All in all, a crappy presentation.

But the movie, holy cow. It was pretty crazy all right. So much to take in that I'm not really sure if I loved it or not.

The Bus

This is a parody account, right? No one actually believes this.

Which happens a lot

Congratulations! You're a feminist!

Mr. Cinema

I wonder if this ends up being the highest rated movie that won't get a Best Picture nomination. Everyone and every critic loves it (so far), and yet it probably has no shot at a BP nomination due to it being an "action" movie. It should rack up in the technical categories though.

It now has a whopping 2 negative reviews, still at 99% with 174 reviews in. That is amazing.

RichC2

No, plenty of 99% and 100% movies didn't get Best Pic nominations. IE: Toy Story 2, Finding Nemo. Leviathan was 99% and was relegated to Best Foreign Language.

Dr. DVD

^ Don't forget Chicken Run.

RichC2

I don't think Shaun the Sheep will get a best pic nom either

This is still my (and my kid's) most anticipated film of the year, but I'm getting pumped about seeing Mad Max on Tuesday. I need to find the time for Ex Machina, too.

RichC2

Here's to hoping Lionsgate doesn't pull a Fox and dub voices where only noises currently exist

Ex Machina should available via Video on Demand in a month, or you can just import the Blu-ray from the UK in a couple weeks.

Mr. Cinema

This earned $3.7 million from last night's shows.

I don't follow Thursday night BO numbers, I'm in the dark about what is good or bad for them. Soooo is that good?

RichC2

It's actually tough to derive much from Thursday numbers anymore.

Ash Ketchum

Variety says PITCH PERFECT 2 made more money than MAD MAX last night:

Wouldn't surprise me.
