Quite annoying too. There is no doubt its clever but definitely rather up its own backside too. I tried to read 'Glamourama' or something by the same author but it was impenetrable...tbh it may have been parts of that book which were most shocking but they were pretty similar.

It’s just dated, boring at aimless as a first watch in 2021. But may have been groundbreaking once. I watched it last year for the first time. I quite enjoyed both the original and 2049. The difference I suppose is I watched it with a mate who’s a big fan. Almost took is enthusiasm into account which helped. They’re both slow films and not exactly difficult to work out the plot points. I can see why you didn’t like it. I’m very much of the opinion that I’ve seen them once but that’s enough. Don’t need to rewatch at a later date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimRam Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Stowaway on netflix 7/10. Decent scifi but should have been slightly longer. ColonelBlimp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4derby Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Rocketman. On Netflix, decided to give a watch. Wife and I both really enjoyed it. Elton has some good tunes, well acted by Taron Egerton and well put together film. Kris Commons/10 The Mitchell’s vs the Machines Netflix film from Lord Miller, the team behind the Lego movie and Into the Spiderverse. This is a kids film made for adults. Very good, funny, brilliant animation. Jokes for kids, dads, mums, dogs, etc. The 2 creators seem to have a real eye for animation.

Mostyn6 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 EYE for an EYE Amazon Prime. Decided to watch this based on the cast. John Travolta, Robert Patrick, Brendan Fraser, Morgan Freeman. The story line sounded good too. But it was the biggest pile of crap and badly acted, badly scripted, predictable piece of junk ever.

I found the book very funny tbf, lots of laugh out loud passages - though that could be my warped sense of humour. Trainspotting I found disturbing on the other hand.

TimRam Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 (edited) Sabotage (2016) stars Arnold Schwarzenegger. Not a bad action film 7/10. Edited May 8, 2021 by TimRam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Derby County - Sheffield Wednesday (2021) stars Martyn Waghorn, Matt Clarke and Marlon Pack. Thriller/horror. Relatively boring for the first 40 minutes, but rest of the about 60 minutes has more twists and turns your can take. Only recommended if you have a healthy heart. The ending is marvellous as well!

Mostyn6 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Finally got around to watching Tenet today and it captivated me a bit. Very creative. Whilst I liked it, it was wasted as a film and could and should have been a 10-episode Netflix show. It was too much crammed into 150 minutes.

Wolfie Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Promising young female Just finished watching it. Wow. This one’s going to stay with me for a while. Great story with none of the usual thriller chichés. Carey Mulligan deserved the Oscar for that. 9/10 (I never give a 10). Nothing is perfect.

No spoilers but I was sure at a certain point that something else was going to happen and then it didn’t & I was like “oh, wow, that’s brave”. It worked for me & added a lot of depth, but I can see why some might not like it. Powerful film & uncomfortable viewing at times - which was the point. Been thinking about it a lot since....
