Wow this movie was surprisingly good
Were you in the found footage thread last night?

Fuck off Max.
>>70342981
Nah, did /tv/ recommend it?
>>70342736
Go to bed, Max.
>>70342736
Really makes you think.
>>70342736
>literally Akira

LOts of hollywood movies are inspired by Akira.
Good deal of Hollywood movies are copied from Asian movies.
It's all fun.

>I'm the Apex predator
what did he mean by this
It is, I remember thinking this Max Landis guy must be pretty talented after watching it. Turns out a stopped clock is right twice a day.
>>70343090
Fuck off, Max.
>>70343066
Also literally ripped from an X-Files episode

A nod to Landis' love of sweaty man drama.
>whole movie rips of akira
>last scenes is LITERALLY the ending to akira
max is fucking lazy
>>70343145
xfiles episode dpo too. Much better than this shitty movie
>>70343016
Just curious. It was in there. I agree with you though, it was pretty good.

AKIRA is riddled with post-war commentary and satirization n' shit. I mean geez you may as well call Carrie an AKIRA ripoff, or Chronicle a Carrie ripoff. In fact that comparison would hold more water.
>>70343295
except Trank admitted to using Akira for inspiration where Carrie did not.
>>70343398
Inspiration isn't a ripoff man, especially when Chronicle and AKIRA do completely different things. I don't remember a gigantic explosion in Chronicle that leveled the entirety of Tokyo.
>>70342736
Saw it in the cinema, not bad.
>>70342736
Yeah man, I had the exact same response. Pretty enjoyable overall.
>>70344272
Ditto. Saw it with my cousins, who I hadn't been able to see for Xmas the previous year,
>>70342736
I like that the main character ends up becoming everyone's villain. He was kinda hopeless from the get-go
I also like that the star jock is completely aware that he already has a leg up on everyone in high school, give him super powers, he talks about wanting to make the world a better place because he has all these advantages: popular, handsome, athletic, booksmart, AND super powers. Talks about running for office to make life better for people.
I like that the only guy who survives is just a regular bro. Not an unrelatable dudebro, but just a bro to his bros who keeps championing their brodom after their deaths.
I wanted the cuck to win

>dude to
Stereotype that does not exist IRL
>>70344877
Lmao fucking autocorrect
Meant
>dudebro
Good plot wasted with all that found footage meme.
But something tells me if it were a regular movie they wouldn't have been so subtle and this would be just another example of capeshit.
Primo Landis
