Bostonian916 (449 KP) rated Equilibrium (2002) in Movies
Jun 30, 2020
The premise of this movie isn't entirely new. To be fair, it's actually been done several times since as well. However, few of those come close to the quality of Equilibrium.
Perfectly cast and made with the perfect combination of CGI and "real" effects. Equilibrium reminds us what it is to be human in a way that not many movies have been able to. That alone should motivate everyone to see this movie if they haven't. You'll appreciate that you did.

Again, the same as Prometheus, I liked the movie despite hearing lots of other negative reviews. In this movie they hearkened back to using more models rather than heavily relying on CGI. Such disturbing scenes and I wasn't the only one in the cinema who giggled at the weird flute playing scene.
overall, I loved this movie and will watch it again when I get the opportunity. Loved exploring all the new worlds and seeing the cool new xenomorph creations.

The film is nicely done and the CGI is lovely, as is the film, I was laughing at parts of the film and thinking to myself, what a lovely film for the kids to see and I bet they would love it, it’s quite fast-paced and they really isn’t a moment when I child could get bored, though they are those moments when little boys will say “Ewwwww they’re kissing”, but that’s part of the charm of the movie.

One Shell at a Time...
Somewhere between Peter Jackson's Dead Alive (Braindead) and maybe a Troma or Roger Corman classic B movies lies Hobo With A Shotgun.
You have to be in the right mood to watch a movie like this. Watching cool practical effects means everything was performed on the set without the use of separate visual or CGI effects. These were obviously used exclusively back in the day before ILM and the many CGI effect groups which exist today. I still feel generally speaking they are more realistic and don't take you out of a scene like bad CGI does.
Your friendly neighborhood hobo gets fed up with the local town's hoodlum brothers and their father owning the police and generally making life miserable for everyone so he decides to take the law into his own hands and dispense his own quick justice. while he is at it, he also removes other scum from the Earth including pedophile Santas and convenience store bandits.
He befriends the girl toy of one of the hoodlums and she becomes his sort of partner in crime when she is not getting sawed into and generally degraded in every way.
When I was looking through IMDb at the career of now the late Rutger Hauer, I was amazed on how many truly bad movies or most I had never heard of he had done in his career. Not saying he was the best actor, but he did have screen presence (especially in Blade Runner) which not every actor has.
He will be missed.

Odd ball hero film
It starts out pretty well but I think it lost its way about half way through. It's an ok mix of action, comedy but sometimes tries to be too serious and other times too funny! There is far too much cgi for me and despite the budget not all of it looks that good. By the time you get to the last 15mins it just didn't feel like the right ending for the film? A mix of the Mask with Superman, odd combo!

I want a Tron bike!
A visually stunning film! I would have loved to catch this at the cinema in 3D to really appreciate it. It has very cool sets, amazing SFX that takes CGI to the next level. It has a great soundtrack as well by Daft Punk, a bit more of the Tron bikes would have been nice. Sadly though the plot and story in general don't match the impressive visuals. Instead just marvel at the awesome light suits and technical excellence of the film!

The first superhero movie I've enjoyed in a while
An inspiring female superhero that girls can look up to! Gal Gadot performs amazingly as Diana. The CGI looked very unrealistic at times, but it was a great movie - the plot was decently structured, and I just was really engrossed in the storyline. It's the first superhero movie that I've thoroughly enjoyed for some time.

Dean (6926 KP) rated BloodRayne (2006) in Movies
Sep 1, 2018
Another pretty bad Uwe Boll film, but not his worst! Had a lot of promise with a strong cast and based on a cool vampire hack and slash video game. However this is pretty poor, none of the "stars' give a half decent performance and the fight choreography is very lame compared to most films of today, no energy or passion, very slow. There is a fair bit of blood, a Meat Loaf cameo and half decent CGI and that is it! Stick with Blade!

Kind of forgettable
Alicia Vikander is perfectly cast as Lara Croft, but doesn't have much to do in this very predictable, nothing new story. Feels like The Mummy movies, kind of boring in some parts and the 3rd act is a big let down.
Maybe they tried to play this one a little less on the CGI which is great, but still has to be interesting.
Hopefully, they will still make another on of these but make it more interesting.
