to be fair there were some intelligent/ambitious blockbusters in 2014, however nfs is definitely not one of them. |

I've found that 99% of people who didn't like interstellar didn't understand what was happening. It's the same reason people disliked 2001 when it first came out. I think most critics don't want movies that force them to think; they want to be told what is happening. Gone Girl was surprisingly really good. I can see it inspiring a cult-like following down the road. The Imitation Game was good, not as good as I thought it would be. I would have liked there to be at least some explanation to the math behind breaking enigma. The entire movie we're told what a genius Turing is, but we never really get see it. We see the results, but never the process. Edited by eager, Jan 18 2015, 08:57 AM.

Edge of Tomorrow 9/10 I was actually going into it with shit expectations because i didn't like the concept when watching the trailer. But i gave it a chance and i enjoyed it. Action was good and concept was not bad at all. It was actually pretty interesting. |

its the opposite of that really.. the script for interstellar is so heavy handed, there is nothing in the film that they don't explain, it leaves NOTHING for the audience to think about. |

There's a lot of things about the movie that are left open ended. **Spoilers** Where is Cooper heading after he leaves the colony if the worm hole is closed (according to Nolan)? How was the human race able to create so many space colonies in such a short amount of time (they were already starving and the planet was rapidly becoming uninhabitable at the time Murph received Cooper's message)? What caused the blight? Why was the worm hole placed so far from Earth if it was humans who created it? Then of course there's the whole humans from the future turning into 5th dimensional beings and saving their ancestors thing. Edited by eager, Jan 20 2015, 11:35 AM.

the only reason those questions are asked is because of how extremely ambitious the film was but in the same process it became very heavy handed. aka interesting ideas, poor execution. saw whiplash a couple days ago, damn good movie especially if you like music which i think everyone does. the film editing stands out like a sore thumb, pretty sure it has the oscar for film editing on lock. |

I'm done with Marvel for a while. Avengers: Age of Ultron is about moral relativism -that means 'no absolute right or wrong' philosophy. Even when their major plot device and scenes depend on objective morality and truth, like evil, innocence, guilt and sacrifice. Ultron says something like "defenders become invaders." And Capt. America says "innocent people always die when war is pre-emptive." These are half truthes and obvious anti-war political statements, liberal reactions to the Iraq War, or the Vietnam War, while glorifying or at least neutral to the World War II veterans portrayed, and fighting in general. That is prima facie moral relativism, our recent mass media MO. 'Just war theory' applies to all 3 conflicts in the context of larger anti-truth, anti-justice agendas: fascism, communism, and militant islam. The struggle in reality is for the rule of law, and who or what really defines human rights. If the government (or culture) is the source of human rights, those rights can be changed or taken away at anytime. (rights like free expression, property, justice & dignity) If human rights are determined by God, those rights cannot be changed or taken away. That key understanding of the founders of the United States and 'enlightenment' thinkers (45 of 50 U.S. States recognize God in their constitutions) allows democratic government to arbitrate competing truth claims of so-called religious systems, without establishing any law concerning religion, in order to protect citizens. That is the role of government and education and public debate are essential to it. Preventing the establishment of laws concerning religion is the basis of personal freedom. The alternative is government control of citizens thoughts and actions. The writers of the Avengers: Ultron clearly support that alternative, because relative morality is based on changing popular cultural or personal ideas, which can never be trusted. People must be forced, by law, to agree with same sex marriage and abortion, for example. Churches and Christian Universities that disagree will lose their tax exempt status and the best individuals for positions in business must first socially conform. "In the interest of diversity, we must all be the same" -moral relativism, to which there can be no dissent. The "peace in our time" quote, repeated 3 times in the movie, is from Neville Chamberlain, the famous pacifist who appeased Hitler in 1938 with Czechoslovakia , only to watch Hitler invade Poland a year later as World War II exploded. 6 millions Jews were killed in World War II, (1/3 of those alive at the time, in the 3rd of 4 Holocausts). They were innocent people, put into ghettos and prison camps by their neighbors, in most educated country in the world. Disney bought Marvel in 2009 for $4 billion. Marvel has more than 40 movies since the late 1990s, and many planned. The first Avengers movie alone grossed more than $1 billion. Disney also bought Star Wars for $4 billion, in 2012. I read most of the Marvel comics in the 1990s. Stan Lee is currently still alive at 92 years old. Soon transcendent truth and eternity will be very apparent to him. I bet he would ask for Marvel movies to be written somewhat differently, if he had them to do again in a few years. The "only one God, ma'am..." line from the first Avengers was great, and the subtle cry from Ultron "O God" at the end, perhaps not the empty cultural version from the writers.

^ that'd probably be dope. i loved everything about mad max, and i agree with truth. i honestly can't think of a better action movie that i've ever seen, tbh. completely entertaining from start to finish. the score was great, the world was really intricate and interesting, and they didn't over-complicate the plot for the sake of making shit more artsy or something like that. i asked about snowpiercer a while back, and i'm kinda surprised by most ppl's reaction. i personally thought it was mediocre and heavy handed, some cool scenes (esp. fight in the dark) but some things didn't sit well with me. i'm fine suspending my belief for movies, but for some reason shooting small caliber weapons through what i assume is some thick ass glass at each other from a light year away was so fucking dumb. overall, i just didn't like it that much. i saw interstellar uTi` (heh), and i was completely engrossed. it might have been the company i was with, but it was very emotional for me. w/e i thought it was cool as fuck and didn't mind the plot holes or logical gaps. some of the movie felt pretty heavy handed at times, tho, so i can understand that gripe. i didn't mind it too much, however. one of the most enjoyable film experiences that i've had. glad balla brought up gone girl. i really loved the book so i was worried i'd be really critical of the movie, but i thought the movie was great. some of the actors in the movie replaced or semi-merged with my mental envisioning of the characters. really entertaining movie, check it out, but don't read about it before doing so. you'll probably just end up spoiling major plot points for yourself. |
