This is getting a lot of great reviews. Can't wait to see it this weekend!
On a side note, Paramount might be the worst (or one of the worst) studios out there in Hollywood. From what I read online, this is only getting theater releases in USA & Canada and getting a release on Netflix everywhere else in the world. lol its bad enough they dumped it in Feb but apparently the studio thought this film was too "intellectual " for the avg movie goer. smh |

Evidently, they should have read the rest of the series. In a later book you finally find out Natalie's character is Asian, . . . and Natalie's not. . . . Soooooo,

It's just a matter of time before Natalie Portman stars as the reluctant hero chopping firewood in bum **** nowhere Alaska when a helicopter lands full of cloak and dagger personal.
Agent X: Natalie, we need you. We need your skills!! Your country needs you!!! Natalie: I told you...I'm retired. That life is behind me! Chaos ensues. |

Out today and getting really strong reviews, but the studio doesn’t like its commercial appeal. I guess it’s headed to Netflix in a few weeks.
Will you watch?

Is that US or international? Looking forward to this one. Read the book which had a lot going for it and looking forward to the director's follow up to Ex Machina.

It won't appear on Netflix in the US until later in the year. |

saw this yesterday and really really liked it. Found it to be trippy as hell. The last 20 t0 30 minutes are pretty mind blowing .

I couldn't help but imagine what some avant-garde or psychedelic director in the 60s would be able to do with today's film tech.

Holy ****. I recommend this film, but I don't really know how to explain what I experienced personally. I want to reward any studio making good sci-fi films for one, but yeah, just go see this.
I'm not one who usually feels scared or terrified when watching any kind of film, but
Spoiler!
Mentally this had a similar effect on me as Mother! did, where I just sat for a few minutes in my seat after the credits, devoid of most thought just soaking up what I had seen. The character's story is lacking, but overall it is an enjoyable film for sure. ****ing beautiful.
