Yeah same, watched Part 1 at home a few weeks ago, found it really dull & gave up well before the end.

I really like Arrival and Bladerunner 2049. Was really quite looking forward to seeing it (never quite got around to it until today).

If there’s one shot of some oval shaped craft hanging in the CGI sky with lens flare there’s a thousand :roll_eyes:

I have to admit I was disappointed with it. I love Jeffrey Wright and was hoping for something much sharper. The book stuff felt pretty lumpen and like it could have been funnier. The rest of it was pleasant but sort of inconsequential. Maybe my expectations were too high.

It wasn’t the sharp satirical film I expected from the trailer at all

Just out of the Zone of Interest. A masterpiece.

EDIT. A note on fucking multiplex cinemas just not knowing (or giving a flying fuck most likely) about the films they’re showing. After what is probably one of the most devastating end sequences of any film I can remember seeing, with the silence of the blank screen hanging there, we were treated to approx five seconds to contemplate what we’d just witnessed before the fucking house lights were on. I mean seriously? Nobody in that screening was up and out of their recliner seat immediately. It made me so fucking angry :expressionless:

Yep. Don’t think I got halfway through it. Just not my thing as I think Star Wars is shite.

There’s a film that had no business being made. Rehashing nostalgia is such a blight on the cinematic landscape.

Had a free ticket to the new Ghostbusters thing so went along. A decent opening 20 mins but thats kinda it. Its over stuffed with waaay too many characters, a weak cut & paste copy plot from the first one and the original cast look like they want to be anywhere else. Time to lay this franchise to rest.

Agree with that, Zone Of Interest is a masterpiece.
Saw it at our local Picturehouse, the first time in years that i’ve been aware of people not munching on snacks throughout the film and just concentrating on the screen.

Already looking forward to Lanthimos’ next film.

Not sure I know what’s going on, but know I want to see it!
