I mean, Jurassic Park is also pretty wicked so I can understand.

**** Jurassic World though, not even Chris Pratt could save that burning mess.

Trash. I was bored throughout. If they're gonna do that **** then cut back on the CG and build some animatronics. That's what made the first one so awesome. And a non-cringey story.

Aside from the fact that the visuals were so jaw-dropping that I was drawn in despite that slight revulsion, that feeling made a movie that was supposed to be tense and creepy all that much more freaky. There were several entire scenes that actually made me involuntarily lean back for minutes on end.

Not just the Other World scenes either. That guy with the bad Russian accent and evil mustache was scary as **** doing pullups on a stair railing. And some **** would've just straight haunted my dreams if I were a young enough child. I love that this wasn't just a children's movie with a horror fantasy aesthetic, this was an honest-to-god horror fantasy children's movie.

Spoiler for spoiler:

Now I know what to dress up as for Halloween. Ooh! Ever see The Dark Crystal?

Cheese is my favourite kind of meat.

Just watched Interstellar for the third time. I'm convinced that every Nolan movie requires at least 3 viewings before you can fully take it all in. Hell, The Dark Knight is the only film I saw 3 times in a movie theater, and all within a couple of weeks of each other. And I've watched it numerous times since.

I now rank Interstellar #2 behind Kubrick's masterpiece as the best space Sci-Fi of all time.

I thought Interstellar was amazing visually, the story, not so much.

I would rate these films higher:

2001

Minority Report

Children of Men

The Matrix

Moon

Sunshine

Looper

Her

Signs

Am I the only person who thinks that 2001 is a pretentious piece of ****? Like it's really boring and dull. The only good part is the scenes with Hal.

2001 - MY #1

Minority Report - WAY UP THERE TOO

Children of Men - MORE DYSTOPIAN THAN SCI FI

The Matrix - GREAT FLICK BUT NOT NEARLY AS EPIC

Moon - AMAZING MOVIE - PRETTY MUCH A ONE MAN SHOW THOUGH

Sunshine - NEED TO CHECK THIS ONE OUT FOR SURE

Looper - AGAIN, GREAT FLICK

Her - HAVEN'T SEEN IT

Signs - ANOTHER GREAT ONE

You sir have great taste! Melancholia is another one I rank way up high.

Read the book. It'll give you a whole new appreciation for the movie.

It was my #1 even before I read the book though.

He wasn't, they didn't even show his face.

I wouldn't say three viewings at least but definitely two. The first time I saw Interstellar, the credits were rolling and I was just like what!? I also happened to be doing other **** on the side and multi-tasking but yeah. I needed to watch it at least two times.
