I've seen the first 4 Twilight movies, mainly because they have Rifftrax accompaniment available. Do not see them unless you get the Rifftrax. Seriously. They are so fucking slow and boring. There is not nearly enough schlock to get any normal human being through these things. Michael Sheen is in the first 4 for maybe 15 minutes, I think? They are just some vampire counsil in a different country that the movies sometimes cut away to in between periods of non-events (all of the events, that is).
The first movie establishes things so it is bearable, though with generally horrible line delivery and facial expressions. It can be fun in the right mindset. 20 minutes into the 2nd one I just thought "Really... more of the same shit?", and at that point Rifftrax to the rescue. Some of them are barely watchable even with Rifftrax, they are just so slooooooooooooooow. You watch one of these 2-hour stresstests and once they are done, you will swear they were all in slow-motion, all the time.
Some of my favourites:
Double Feature Show: Two guys watch two movies each week, and then talk about them, what they felt was interesting, notable, etc. 3-4 years running. About 45 mins /episode.
Skeptoid: Huge archive on all topics science and skepticism. Excellently researched and presented. 10-15 mins/episode.
The Comedy Button: 5 guys formerly of Gamespy Debriefings podcast spend an hour each week recording random conversations, reading email they got, just casual chatting. They also have so far made 4 commentaries that can be played along with the movies. I'd highly recommend listening to their commentary of Home Alone 2, a personal favourite of mine as far as commentaries go, think Rifftrax without a script, and a few too many beers. Their Turtles 2: Secret of the Ooze is also a good one. 60-ish mins/episode.
Been a while since I saw it, but my IMDb score is currently 9/10. I plan on seeing it again very soon to see how the score stands after a 2nd viewing. And this from someone who recently, as I view more and more horror films, have been scoring horror films lower, and lower, and lower...
As I recall, I was unsettled by the film in a way I am usually not. The way it first describes horrifying situations and the effects of them, and then plunges you right into them, forcing you to live them. I suppose it simply depends on what you fear, similarly The Descent worked for me since I was already affected by the claustrophobia and feeling of isolation from the start.
I was also very impressed with the acting in the film. The director impressed me again recently with The Tall Man so it seems me liking Martyrs perhaps wasn't a fluke.
Thanks for posting. Very nice to watch.
Nope, did not. I think anyone who has seen Terminator has at some point tried this as a username on forums though.
Atleast that is my experience trying to keep this username consistent through various forums and failing miserably most of the time.
Thanks, not extremely active generally, but I'll try to contribute as best I can. ![]()
New user. Depending on the theatre quality, definitely see the 3D version if possible. I saw it in Sweden opening night, and I was very worried, as one might be in these days of such difference in 3d quality between films. It is filmed in 3D, and the 3D is basically only used in a natural way. No gimmicks at all. It provides a basic natural depth which helps to give the spaceship etc alot of atmosphere. Also the brightness was very acceptable. The lighting was considered and so there was no situations where you are staring at a murky hazy mess. Also for the design elements in the film, the 3d giving them some depth really gives them added realism.
So as long as the 3D in your theatre can show good 3d well, definitely see this one in 3D. It was a flawless experience for what it is, the only variable I suppose might be if certain projectors have problems outputting enough brightness, my theatre might have cranked that up. Still, quite a well lit film for being in dark environments.
