Honestly think it is a very underrated film and people went into it not wanting to like it because it was a Dreamworks sequel. Honestly one of the best animated films in recent years.

No Country for Old Men

I really like watching the scenes where characters are performing different tasks with their hands (e.g. sawing down the shotgun barrels, bandaging wounds, retrieving the briefcase with the tentpoles, disassembling the pistol, and a bunch more I can't remember). It's one of the ways the Coens really succeeded in translating McCarthy's writing to film I think.

I don't know why but it's a very comfy movie pour moi.

This scene was genuinely beautiful, probably my favorite in any animated film. The use of 2D animation mixed with the 3D really worked IMO.

Do I need to watch the series to enjoy the movies? I think i've seen enough to know the characters, but would I just be missing too much by not having prior knowledge of their situations and no emotional connection to the characters?
>>

This should be me, I always tell myself to rewatch it because it was so enjoyable but I always go with something else.
I tend to put on Synecdoche NY or Eternal Sunshine when I'm bored though.

I never seen any Star Trek, but even I know the films are shit. Why wouldn't you just watch the show?

When it's up to me to pick a movie I'll usually say children of men. People will think it's going to be weird, then be pleasantly surprised.

Word, this is also my go to film. Not my favorite, but the scenes with llewelyn setting up the tentpoles when you weren't sure what he was planning to do, that and the general action makes this supremely rewatchable.

This movie boggles my mind.
The Rock was OBVIOUSLY supposed to be Doomguy, right?
He's the biggest badass, he's fucking The Rock, he gets the BFG
/vr/ here, and I fucking played so much Doom that Doomguy's faces are ingrained in my subconscious, and The Rock makes EVERY SINGLE ONE at some point in the movie. It's OBVIOUS Dwayne did his research and was fully prepared to make it an incredible performance. When he dies he even exclaims "I'm not supposed to die!"

What fucking happened? Did Corporate step in halfway through and shitcan the whole movie? Did Carmack drop the ball? I know he was related in some capacity but I don't know off the top of my head what that entailed.

Doom, the Movie boggles my mind because it has all of the pieces of being a really cool and good video game movie but things seem awkwardly out of place frequently.

Like they have the character who is a religious fanatic. Alright cool. We also have one who is a hedonistic asshole. Alright neat. We have one kid who's a fucking drug addict. I get it. Why is that character a religious fanatic if the monsters aren't Demons? Why have a hedonistic asshole if the monsters don't come from Hell? Why have ANY glaring character flaws that relate to sin and debauchery if the monsters aren't from Hell?

Everything about the Doom movie screams corporate intervention to me and it pisses me off.
