Where did @Lili Marlene write about this?

Thought this was pretty great. Looks fantastic.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I didn't think much of it

 

[Scientician 0.8]

Apart from the last 5 minutes I thought it was pretty excellent. Some nods to classic '50s sci fi and unless I am totally film illiterate (possible) to Tarkovsky too.

The I'm a military guy I don't understand linguistics shtick wore thin a bit.

Where did @Lili Marlene write about this?

somewhere in the movie last night thread. I didn't write about it in the way you were thinking clearly

 

[Cormcolash]

One of the most pretentious films of the last 20 years, pure shite

Great plot but I thought the characters were terribly boring.

 

[Diddles]

I thought it was beautiful, I had an itchy eye.

 

[Cormcolash]

I actually thought it was boring as fuck, the big shots were horribly overdrawn, and the plot was pseudo-intellectual bullshit.
Also, Murca good, China bad, just in case that wasn't clear, right?

 

[Cormcolash]

Also the soundtrack is fucking insipid

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Yeah, it was just an souped up Independence Day. And your one - the communicator lady - could hardly string a sentence together the entire film, she was so overwrought.
