Yeap. I actually asked the missus if we could go after the SW trailer.

Sounds and looks great on the big screen. The X-wings over the water had me feeling like a kid again.

Yeah I bet it was amazing biggest thing I've seen it on is laptop. :roll:

I caught a glimpse of the first trailer on the TV and evan that was a lot better.
 
Couple of older ones that I've watched in the last couple of days for the first time via Sky:

Transformers Age of Extinction - Utter rubbish IMO, great effects, no doubt, but unbearably long and a real strain to define a story at all. Sadly I've felt the same about all the Transformers films :cry: Kids got bored too, so not just me.

X-Men: Days of future past - a touch better than the above, but still poor and again relying so heavily on effects rather than story or even character to get through to the end... Kids slightly more focussed on this one, but they agreed it was the worst X-Men flick they remembered seeing so far.

Off to see the latest Avengers at the cinema this afternoon; fingers crossed it can make up for the two above's failings.
 
Watched Interstellar the other night. Thought it was ok the wife enjoyed it more than me I think, I liked the used universe approach. Worth a watch - 7/10.
 
Avengers Age of Ultron = Yeah, it was OK, certainly better than the last two (above) and the story did hang together and the effects were great... despite everything blowing up all the time, they oddly didn't seem to be over the top... if that is possible! the highlight of the cinema trip for me though was the trailer for Jurassic World! Can't wait!!! Terminator trailer... cheese fest alert, so once again.. can't wait! :lol: :lol:
 
Mad Max.....Ehhh pretty disappointing if I'm honest.

It's basically a two hour chase sequence. Literally. The plot is wafer thin and what dialogue there is, there are silent movies with more words in them, is pretty poor.
I don't mind a good chase scene and I always liked the sort of dystopian car chases and fights in the original MM movies, but after two hours of virtually incessant crashes and fights I was getting a tad bored. There are only so many ways you can kill off random cannon-fodder bad guys in car crashes and explosions before it starts to get a bit repetitive.
It's the sort of film you'll love if your 15 and like explosion, death and violence. Or if you want something to kill two hours that really doesn't require much thinking. I can't help but feel that they could have done so much more though. The originals were never Oscar material, but they were good films. This is just a two hour smash 'em up.
 
Saw Dune the over day.

It's quite a dated film in some respects, but I like the storyline with it's mix of religion and sci-fi.

Really need to get round to reading all the books
 
No. I read Dune and then a year or two later I read whatever the immediate follow up is. It's ok, but not in the same league. Dune is definitely worth a read though.
 
They made a mini series or a series of films about them, but I haven't seen them. I've heard they are pretty woeful and they changed loads.

I THINK that's the series. You seen the extended version if the original film? It's worth tracking down the extra bits do actually add to it.
 
That looks like a remake of the original movie....and a ***** one at that.

Will definitely keep an eye out for the extended version. Don't think I've ever seen it.
 
Dune fans, if you haven't already you gotta check out this doc, oh man, what could have been!

Jodorowsky's Dune

Found the Doc on youtube. Will watch it over the weekend.

Would this have been a better version? Looks a bit trippy to me :shock:
 
Just started replaying the game 'Half-Life2'

Turns out a lot of the designs for that game were based on Dune!
 
Haven't watched the whole doc yet but it looks like it would have been cool. I like the guys vision. Sounds like a weird psychedelic cross between Star Wars and Flash Gordon! For me though there's only one Dune film - the original one they did make, it's brilliant anyway.
 
Saw San Andreas this weekend.

Enjoyed it, amazing effects, but incredibly predictable disaster movie, similar to 2012
 
Just seen Jurassic park have to say I was blown away by just how good it was, and the effects were amazing, only a small hint of chesse unlike number 3 which was totally spoilt by it, 10/10 for me.
 
I think im the only person that has watched jurassic park and thought it was just ok....wasnt too fussed about it, same old **** same old story, worth a watch though.

Nope, i'm with you on that. Not a bad film, just nothing special. Watch it and forget. I'll not be rushing out to buy the DVD. It killed two hours but that's about all. The ginger bird in it would get it though.
 
Saw Jurassic World the other day, I really liked it. As others have said, better then 3 due to lack of cheese. Not sure how they can improve on the formula, but it is a little bit samey after all these years...should we expect another in a year or two? any news?
