JubilantLankyLad 1,957 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I really loved it, and it made me physically uncomfortable in parts. I saw it in 3D on a big screen, and am really thinking about seeing it again on IMAX. Me too. I thought I was going to vomit throughout the whole thing basically. I thought it was fantastic and badly want to see it again. Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Shit, if it causes motion sickness I cant' watch it. I couldn't play half life 2 or portals because it made me motion sick Link to post Share on other sites

Cha! Cha! 628 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 IMAX 3D; looked amazing. Great movie. Agree with Nick that the dialogue left a little something to be desired. Link to post Share on other sites

Dubey 1,035 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Have you seen Gravity? I haven't seen either, but I don't hear many people touting Captain Phillips as the better movie of the two. (I plan on seeing both very soon) Link to post Share on other sites

(I plan on seeing both very soon) I talked about Gravity two posts before the Cap'n Phil one. http://deadspin.com/...ewed-1442424233 For what it's worth, I think you should see Gravity in 3D if you could only see one in the theater.

Cha! Cha! 628 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 If you don't want to read the review, here is a good snippet that doesn't give anything away: "Captain Phillips, Greengrass' best film since United 93, is ostensibly a cracker-jack thriller about the hijacking of the Maersk Alabama, the kidnapping of its captain, Richard Phillips, by Somali pirates in April 2009, and the Navy's attempts to rescue him. And in that way, it works splendidly: The movie's level of tension approaches that of last year's Zero Dark Thirty, particularly that film's last 30 minutes, so ratcheted up that it's almost unbearable. But Greengrass is not the sort of filmmaker who can simply make a movie about heroic Americans coming to save a scared captain from mean pirate men. This is a man who sees the humanity —the fact—in everything. The movie doesn't pause or slow down to understand its characters. Its understanding is there in every frame. You never forget the stakes." "Captain Phillips is about what happens in that contained space, between scared people who don't know how they got there. But it's also about how they got there. This is a great film." Link to post Share on other sites

Dubey 1,035 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Saw Gravity. Loved it. Not much to add. The scene at the International space station (Second orbit of the shrapnel) was truly incredible. One of the best scenes in recent memory. next up: Captain Phillips. Link to post Share on other sites
NickCave 194 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Has anybody seen the Fake Steve McQueen movies (Hunger, Shamefassbenderdong)? I thought both were phenomenal, so I'm really looking forward to 12 Years a Slave. Chiwetel Ejiofor is good in pretty much everything (Children of Men, Dirty Pretty Things, Love Actually). Given FakeMcQueen's profile over the last few years, the nature of the story, and the quality of the actors, this thing has at least a 40% chance of winning best picture Link to post Share on other sites

I have Hunger and FassbenderDong in my queue, but haven't been in the mood to watch them yet. Yeah, I made the same mistake. I was like, "Where the hell did this late stage brilliance come from, Bullitt?!" Then I went to his Wikipedia page and it turns out Steve McQueen is a black man from London, which, come on what was I thinking? Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,752 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 World War Z: I like Pitt a lot. The movie wasn't great. The ending was predictable. None of the other principle actors were even slightly compelling. (With the possible exception of the main military guy in South Korea, but he had like 3 minutes of screen time) This is the End: This is the 2nd time I've tried to watch it, and the 2nd time I've fallen asleep. I've heard from so many people that it's hilarious, that I'm sure I'll try a 3rd time at some point. The farthest I've gotten is Craig (black dude from The Office) goes outside for water and almost dies, then woke up in time for the credits. Link to post Share on other sites
SuperJon 175 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 V/H/S 2 I'm a pussy and covered my eyes through most of the movie. The individual stories were much better than the first movie. Link to post Share on other sites

The Office aired for 9 seasons. It's great that you can make such a vague statement as "black dude from The Office", and pretty much everyone will know who you're talking about.
