Bummer. Love listening to the discussions. Hope the forum stays active, especially considering how huge 2015 is going to be for movies.

I had a similar experience with Her. Screening I went to was empty except for myself and a friend, and we both really enjoyed it.

Imagine being able to watch a 70mm screening all to yourself. No talking, no sounds of eating or shuffling around... That would be heaven.

Anyone else get legitimately mad at the "corrected textbook" bit because it seems like something that could actually happen in this country? That was MM's "save the cat" moment for me.

I saw it in 70mm and loved every second of it. Perfect blend of planetarium nostalgia and emotional roller-coaster film experience. Could have watched another three hours of them in space doing stuff. I cried so many times.

I'm just so happy science fiction is getting this kind of attention.

Yeah, the science is pretty spotty, which is disappointing. Yeah, Matt Damon's character is awful. Yeah, the "love is key" thing was frustrating (partially because my born-again relatives took it literally) Yeah, there's a ton of fridge logic just like Inception or Dark Knight Rises.

The score, the visuals, the emotion... all were incredible. Michael Cane's death scene was the only time I couldn't understand the audio.

My favorite element was the robot design. At first it's a comical slab of metal, but then as the film goes on, you see all these kick-ass features. Justifying the comic relief as a necessary component of making humans accept the robots was great.

I was so happy walking out of the theater. It was startling to overhear other people mocking different parts of the movie around me. I guess I'm just not as cynical toward scifi movies as I am for other blockbusters.

I've been consistently enjoying Marvel movies to just go ahead and see them whenever a new one comes out. Thor 1 is at the bottom of my list, but I didn't dislike it. I just don't want to watch it more than once. I really liked Thor 2.

Chris Pratt and John C Reilly are both actors that I'll watch whatever they're in, so that helps too.

I'm glad this movie is going for bizarre tongue-in-cheek humor. It's refreshing whenever we get something that isn't dark and gritty.

Really enjoyed the trailer, but I'm still not 100% convinced. I'll give it a shot.

Had to pull out my Ghostbusters DVD to watch it last night. Have to appreciate being able to enjoy the works of your heroes even after they're gone.

I'm glad they at least made the video game a couple of years ago. I was very satisfied with it as a third installment in the series.

[video (unkown provider)]

Having played around a bit with stop-motion brickfilms, I really appreciated that they worked so hard to replicate that aesthetic despite it being CGI. The end credits are clearly stop-motion, and supposedly it's a mix of CG and stop-motion elsewhere, but I couldn't tell. It looks to be 95% CG and 5% stop-motion, if anything. But whatever, still impressive as all hell. The movement, the textures, the nicks, dents, and fingerprints... it looks great.

The jump to real life really threw me off. While I appreciate what they did with it, I think it hurt the overall story. Act 3 really falls apart once the father/son dynamic is introduced. Emmet just asks Lord Business nicely to stop and he does. The end. That was really disappointing.

Other than that, I really don't have any issues with it. There were so many ways it could have sucked, but it didn't. I love that they decided to keep it grounded in real-world limitations of LEGO rather than going all noodle-y like other animated things they've produced.

Great voice cast, great little story, great message, great animation... one of the best animated films I've seen in a long time.
