Wow this is one of the best visual looking films I have seen recently. All the CGI is top notch and does not look fake in the slightest, the way they designed all the wreckage in those wide shots.
I was planning on watching this. Is it just CGI eyecandy or is the rest decent too?

Think this movie was underappreciated, the music, photography, set the mood and setting perfectly. Story was good, nothing exceptional but interesting and fun. Tom Cruise is my Sci-Fi husbando
>>72047224
Tom Cruise + Sci-fi equals a good time anon.
>>72047224
The story is really good. Has some nice twists and turns with Cruise constantly haunted by past memories.
But yes I do gotta say the visuals in this are absolutely superb. In one scene: Cruise goes off alone to some hide away location which is filled with green hills and grass - was a nice sudden different contrast compared to the dirty world I was used to (this is in the first 25 minutes so isn't a spoiler). But too the way they designed the house Cruise lives at - is just amazing.

Tom Cruise was complete fucking shit in Elysium. Put me off seeing anything else by him. What makes this one so good?
>>72047277
That swimming pool scene with the music and cinematography was brilliant.

I agree the movie was somehow surprisingly fantastic in presenting a usual sci-fi esthetic.
The whole plot about the resistance was shit though. Would have been better just for the Cruises to ruse the enemy.
>>72047328
Tom cruise wasn't in elysium.
>>72047224
Honestly it uses a fair amount of practical effects and the set design is excellent, which I know sounds like a strange compliment, but it really is. So if you like seeing that its worth checking out. The movie is worth watching on all other fronts, acting, story, action, direction, music etc etc. Although I found that the story had way too many twists thrown at you.
Honestly the one thing that stood out to me effects wise was how the Tet was seen from Earth, the way it's visible during the day the same way the moon is. It looked like they got it just right, in terms of lighting and the white color.

>Elysium
What? I never knew Cruise was in that. I've never seen that but seriously this Oblivion movie is very underrated.
Is more of a personal emotional journey and not an aliens shoot em up if that's what you think it is.
>>72047202
>Boring white male protagonist like it's still 60s.
Do not want
>>72047356
Yeah Cruise was really riding a bike and got almost injured

I always respect this guy for doing his own dangerous stunts
>>72047366
Mate, they even brought in token nigger in the movie. And Morgan Freeman at that.
You can tell this film was really made with love and care and not rushed as so many high budget films are with 90% CGI.
>>72047404
Why the fuck didn't you ignore him?
>>72047391
The dude's fucking crazy, but that's why I love him.
>>72047328
Are you thinking of Edge of Tomorrow (or Live.Die.Repeat lel) or are you just stoned?
>>72047542
>Are you thinking of Edge of Tomorrow (or Live.Die.Repeat lel)
>implying that was bad
>>72047542
I sure hope that anon wasn't thinking of Edge of Tomorrow. That is one of Cruise's best recent films.
>And Emily Blunt proves to be one of the best female leads
>>72047202
I liked it, but the terminal rape scenes were a bit much
>>72047562
>>72047621
Nah, I liked that movie myself too. Just that its another Sci-fi movie with Tom Cruise in it that came out around the same time.
>>72047454
I like replying to bait.
Seriously, I do. It's like a personal meme.
>>72047743
I feel you, bro.

>gets straight back up
>i'm alright, lol

probably crazy as fuck, but based

>one of the best visual looking films
Doesn't change the fact it was boring as fuck with uninteresting characters, best parts were when Morgan Freeman was on screen
I dunno. It's a good looking movie but the the plot and the characters are too thin to my liking.
>>72047302
>(this is in the first 25 minutes so isn't a spoiler)
Fuck you, yes it is.
Might as well just watch Moon while you're at it.
>>72047202
Bro, have you ever seen Sand Sharks (2012)??
that movie got some of the most amazing CGI ever
>>72048464
That poster is clever. If you've seen it, you pick up on the "spoilers" in it, but if you haven't they'll all go over your head.
>>72047202
Y'all know that it is basically Mass Effect?
The protagonist's name, Jack Harper, is the real name of The Illusive Man.
The soundtrack is reminiscent of the Mass Effect soundtrack.
he Big Bad is a giant sentient spaceship with a god complex.
Jack's rifle looks almost exactly like the Viper Sniper Rifle from Mass Effect 2. It also sounds the same with similar-looking glowing blue projectiles.
The drones resemble the Oculus fighters. The scene where the drones attack the human base is very similar to the scene near the end of Mass Effect 2 where an oculus breaks into the Normandy's cargo hold.

Nobody cares tho
>>72047328
yes
but the girl
>>72047391
how he managed to not break his neck astounds me
>>72050324
Shoulder and his awesome hair took the brunt of it.
Nice try, Xenu
>>72048038
>Doesn't change the fact it was boring as fuck
I am sorry that this wasn't a JJ fast paced action shooter as majority of Hollywood's films are.
>>72050324
He is a very blessed man.
I am super excited to see what stunts he does for Mission Impossible 6
>>72047202
I hated this movie, it's like the people making it never even played the game.
>>72047277
Don't forget the waifus. Joseph Kosinski is 2 for 2 in my book. He puts together some really amazing cinema.

>reading up on Rogue Nation

World Record is like 27 BTW.
