Eh
This movie with Brad Pitt was rather disappointing. They tried to make it some deep, meaningful story but it just turned out, well, boring. Some interesting ideas about space travel/exploration but other than that there just wasn't much substance. Frankly, I'm not sure how I got through the whole thing. The cinematography was good, the acting was mediocre at best. Overall this one is NOT worth a watch.

Do ya like dags?
The direction is fantastic, Guy Richie is such an amazing Director! The introduction scene with the diamond is awesome, the music is perfect and the story is brilliant.
Brad Pitt was rumoured to have approached Guy Richie after Lock Stock, but he couldn't get the cockney accent right so he was cast as Mickey. When someone told me (before I had seen it) that an American was playing an Irish Traveller I was seriously sceptical. No need to be, he did it perfectly.
The story flows so well and the way everyone links together works so well, that kind of storyline can fall apart but it goes smoothly and keeps you interested right until the end.
An awesome film everyone should atleast try and watch - it might not be everyones cup of tea but it should be tried.

Unbelievably fresh and unique. (2 more)
Brad Pitt gets to be more than eye candy, his acting ability is shown in this.
It is such a rollercoaster of feelings.
Just fantastic!
I'm not a reviewer that likes to include spoilers - especially on films I want people to watch so all I will say is this:
Please watch this. It's so fascinating, the story is unlike anything I've ever heard or seen before. It's not the usual Brat Pitt movie, but opposite Cate Blanchett he shines through. They both wouldn't usually be put together yet they work! It's a story that isn't realistic yet with the many other amazing actors/actresses in this movie it feels so real.

Zombie Outbreak
With all of this news about the coronavirus, i thought i reviewing this movie. That shot in the trailer where all the zombies are trying to climb that wall looked epic, scary, horrorfying and terrorfying. And Brad Pitt was great in this film. If you havent read the book that this movie is based on, than go and read it or listen to it. Anyways the plot:
When former U.N. investigator Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) and his family get stuck in urban gridlock, he senses that it's no ordinary traffic jam. His suspicions are confirmed when, suddenly, the city erupts into chaos. A lethal virus, spread through a single bite, is turning healthy people into something vicious, unthinking and feral. As the pandemic threatens to consume humanity, Gerry leads a worldwide search to find the source of the infection and, with luck, a way to halt its spread.
Also Marc Foster directed this film, he also directed "Monster's Ball", "Finding Neverland", "Stay", "Quantum of Solace" and "Christopher Robin". So if you like this film, go watch his other films.

Very Slow
Where No Man Has Gone Before
Ad Astra- is a intresting sci-fi drama that does take place in the future. It is a slow pace movie, it does get intresting overtime but when it does get intresting its only intresting for couple of parts in the film. Other than that its slow, non intresting and a wasted supporting cast. The visuals are good, the plot is okay, the sci-fi is good, the drama is their.
The plot: Thirty years ago, Clifford McBride led a voyage into deep space, but the ship and crew were never heard from again. Now his son -- a fearless astronaut -- must embark on a daring mission to Neptune to uncover the truth about his missing father and a mysterious power surge that threatens the stability of the universe.
Brad Pitt does a good job in this film. If you want to watch a sci-fi space movie go watch interstellar, 2001, moon, etc. Ad Astra is decent.

Got to be one of Tarantino's worst movies, 2 hrs 40 minutes and literally nothing happens till the last 10 minutes. It looks great and has a typically diverse QT soundtrack but is basically one big long rambling boring ego trip. There must have been at least 30 minutes of screen time consisting of Brad Pitt just driving around Hollywood . Pulp Fiction it most definitely isn't. Hugely overrated and almost certainly wouldn't have been made if it were anyone else but Tarantino.

I really enjoyed this film. It is a little long, but it feels really right. I think Brad Pitt did phenomenal, as well as Cate Blanchett. They were definitely the highlights - Taraji P. Henson too. I find this story super interesting and the details that went into creating this film are really incredible. I can't say I'll ever watch it again - 3 hours is a long time - but I'm really happy that I can add it to my seen list.

Feb 16, 2023
Director Ridley Scott's classic 1991 road trip movie starring Geena David and Susan Sarandon (with Brad Pitt and Harvey Keitel also having a part), in which the two friends Thelma (Davis) and Louise (Sarandon) go on a road trip that takes a turn for the worse when Louise shoots and kills a man attempting to rape Thelma.
Finding themselves on the run, they try to make their way to Mexico, culminating in perhaps one of the most famous final shots in movie history.
