Finally got around to watching The odyssey, here are my thoughts.
Beautifully shot, gorgeous to look at especially on imax, grading, lighting, everything was great.
Didn't expect it to be as emotional for me as it was, I got teary eyed in a few places which surprised me lol
The effects were great, not once was I taken out of the film because off bad CGI, the cyclops was superb and cleverly though of.
matt Damon was mostly great but he was still Matt Damon, the everyman lost in ww2 or on mars or wherever, and he could have used some more talented mr Ripley, ie I didn't buy him so much as the wily Odysseus, he had great pathos, carried a lot of weight in his guilt and saw genuine love in his wanting to get back to his wife and home but lacked a little cunning.
The fight scene at the end was way too long and unnecessary, only part of the movie I was bored in.
Was waaaaay too short even for a 3 hour movie, this needed to be a series.

Never played the game or watched any of the other movies, but caught this over the weekend solely because it was the same director that did Weapons. Equal parts a great horror and comedy

Late to the party, but somehow managed to stay away from ruining it for myself until now, last night watched Barbarian, like whoah dude, good flick, obviously did not see what was coming while it played out lol, second half a movie was me saying out loud over and over ‘uh helllll no’
- They can easily just rename the movie ‘Hell No’prophetone
- same director of new resident evil and weaponspango
- yeah he creates great dread, tensionprophetone
- *and comedy. Weirdly funny moments in his movies.bogue
- great tension, and then in 3rd act... fuck it, make em laugh.robthelad

holy shit this is one of the funniest things I've seen in so long, just couldn't stop laughing. It's like a real-life spinal tap or best in show or blades of glory but waaaay funnier.

DIGGER.. apparently is NOT a good movie..
some of the reviews
“Ever heard that old saying, this meeting could have been an email? Similarly, rather than being a film, Digger could have been a burning bag of dog poop delivered to Adam McKay’s doorstep ... A seeming broadside at heavy-handed Hollywood advocacy flops like Don’t Look Up, it’s a scathing pastiche of everything that makes such movies insufferably sanctimonious. Yet Birdman director Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s obvious technical genius as a filmmaker cannot overcome the plain fact that Digger is both insufferable and sanctimonious.”
“All these preening, obnoxiously self-satisfied moments, and so many more, add up to a movie so convinced of its own brilliance that it cannot see it is in fact the most banal variety of idiot: loud, ugly and forever oblivious to its own shortcomings ... There is no overarching strategy to Digger, just endless scheming from a cinematic charlatan who should have been buried by Hollywood two or three movies ago.”
- I'll see for myself soon enough thank you VERY much!Gardener
- Thinking if I've ever enjoyed Tom Cruise in a movie anyway...mort_
- ^ I liked how many times he died in edge of tomorrow. Is that mean?Ianbolton
- I nearly walked out 3 times and I never even paid to get in (my mate works in a cinema) however...Gardener
- I'm glad I stayed until the end which I thought was excellent, it really isn't a likeable movie at all, but I can't help feeling when I see it againGardener
- I'll probably love it, it really is a headscratcher but fuck me it is confounding, annoying, funny and awful and yet pretty, pretty goodGardener
- there was only 2 other folk in the screening I saw in a large auditorium, says it all reallyGardener

Re: DIGGER...apparently it's NOT a good movie.
I have seen it, and I would encourage anyone to take a look and decide for oneself if it could be replaced with an email. Received opinion regarding creations like this is just not cricket.
It's the savant, bastard lovechild of Brazil and The Grand Budapest Hotel. It teeters on a rusty fence between Dr Strangelove and Twelve Monkeys. It gathers influences from far and wide: Peter Greenaway, The Coen Brothers and Terry Gilliam and all the while it inhabits it's own space.
It's a feast for the eyes, beautiful production design, camera work and editing. It's funny and tragic. Cruise, Plemons, Goodman, Huller, Ahmed are all excellent. It's a film you should make your own mind up about as I suspect the blatant political and social commentary could feel a bit too targeted for some.
"a cinematic charlatan who should have been buried by Hollywood two or three movies ago" Well that would be The Revenant and Birdman.
Think for yourself.
- I noticed that after the immediate "it bombed" news it's been gaining traction in online discussions.evilpeacock

- studio is about to lose $250 million which is fucking crazy._niko
- not as crazy as tom https://media.tenor.…neverscared
- Fight Club, Donnie Darko, Shawshank Redemption, Bladerunner and Citizen Kane were all commercial disasters. If box office success is your measure of a cinema...Morning_star
- ...and film great the I have Super Mario Galaxy ready for you.Morning_star
- *thenMorning_star
- nobody's saying the movie is good or bad since we haven't seen it but just commenting that the studio losing $250 m is nuts_niko
- and fight club made 102m on a budget of 65 mil so not the same_niko
- seems a bit of banal to say -think for yourself -when citizen kane and shaw werent trashed by critics to bring them into the mix..... nevermind the box officeneverscared
- with that chances are lottery ticket probabillty that the flick swings itself up to a classic... no biggie for alejandro .. one stinker in his filmography ..neverscared
- = manageable.neverscared
- Citizen Kane was a box-office flop primarily because powerful newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst launched a massive media boycott and smear campaignneverscared

- @niko, the vey first line of the original post says 'apparently it's NOT a good movie'Morning_star
- Fight Club also only made $37m on it's original cinematic release. So, exactly the same.Morning_star
- I enjoyed it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯toemaas
- 37 mio is 71 mio today though...neverscared
- Fight Club 2.17 million tickets sold digger 750.000 tickets sold.neverscared
- calling that exactly the same... is thinking for yourself done wrong.neverscared

saw the vvitch after seeing it on a bunch or yo top 9 movies thread and was not disappointed.
I had already seen Lighthouse and loved it, so now I've started Nosferatu, which I'd previously dismissed as a cheap cash-grab on the tail of the original but I've got to say I was wrong and it's great.
His attention to detail and his historical accuracy is just superb.
Love his films.- Going to watch this evening, thanks.utopian
- I watched Nosferatu last night and it barely held my attention, sadly.i_monk
- Ugh, yeah just finished Nosferatu, felt the same, started off well but was too long and unengaging. original was way better_niko
- Yes to all of this. I still liked Nosferatu, but it was a lull. Also The Northman if you haven't seen it.garbage
- Reaaaally looking forward to Werwulf.garbage
- I'll second Garbage's recommendation about The Northman. Probably my favourite after The VVitch and Lighthouse.Morning_star
- Fare thee well Thomasin.Morning_star
- i love Eggers, but this was a slow, burning hell of a film. It shit me up sat in the cinema with maybe 3 other people at 1 in the morning.Ianbolton
- Okay, Witch was disappointing.utopian
- Probably over-hyped it. Wast crazy about the ending but overall I’m a sucker for period pieces especially ones with such great attention to detail_niko
- An old man in the cinema had a fainting episode during the little boy possession... So had that crazed scene, plus his wife yelling at her husband to wake up...inteliboy
- Will never forget it. The entire packed cinema was on edge, like some evil shit was going downinteliboy
- Jeez that’s freaky_niko
