Immaculate aesthetics and vibes. Turning Red ripped off this movie.

This is the best MI movie.

Hard as fuck.

Very sitcom-y in its looks and vibes. Fun concept and lots of sexy voices.

Genius movie.

Has to be the darkest entry in the saga.

Why do people consider this bad?

Great movie.

Original Review

Peli que ponen en la cineteca para vender más libros en su librería.

Me pareció algo confusa ya que estamos siguiendo entre 3-5 historias distintas, pareciera que en orden anacrónico y no se entrelazan entre si, aparte que hay dos parejas que se parecen mucho físicamente y solo acentuó más mi confusión hacia lo que estaba pasando. Me hubiera agradado más que fuera una historia más centrada en un número limitado de personajes, y que le hubieran metido alguna onda lovecraftiana en la que todo el pueblo se empieza a volver loco a causa de la entidad maligna que ronda por el lago, y gente convirtiéndose en pescado, claro, ¡por qué no! Tenían la idea y uno se imagina que va por ese rumbo, pero no del todo.

Lo que me gustó mucho fue la dirección de fotografía, tiene tomas muy bonitas. La escena introductoria es buenísima. Me gustó mucho el poster, y también me gustó bastante el diseño de la Miringua, aunque lástima que no la vemos mucho en pantalla. De hecho, a mi amigo Edgar se le apareció una vez en el río Ramos y me comenta que se mantiene fiel al aspecto que tiene en la vida real. 👍 México tiene chingos de críptidos en sus leyendas y cultura folclórica y me gustaría ver más de esos en el cine.

El mensaje más claro que me deja esta película es que México tiene un GRAVÍSIMO problema de alcoholismo :/

Weird since it's the first time we get a sequel to a previous episode from a previous season. I found the "real life" parts of the episode far more interesting than what was going on in the "digital realm", it resonates a lot of the wide range of controversies surrounding Activision-Blizzard and the abuse of their employees, let alone the aggressive monetization system implemented in their products.

Don't really like that quirky Star Trek-Wars setting in a show like this but it wasn't actually bad.

Original Review

A lot to pull apart from this movie. Fucking marvelous filmmaking.

So sad yet so beautiful. A trip down memory lane that turns more tortuous each step taken. The composition in its images give off this cozy vibe at the same time it heightens the melancholy with its music and tone. This might actually be the best one this season. Paul Giamatti the GOAT!

Stands out among the bad to mediocre stuff we've been getting recently. Feels different in its direction, clearly more creative in its visuals. The actions scenes have good choreography and camerawork. Still having that dull grey look in some scenes tho. Interesting to see depression, regret and guilt being the main themes of the movie. The Void look and powers were very cool and creative.

I liked this one!

10 years believing this was Whiplash from Iron Man 2. Great creature design, looks like a Predator + Cyber Lin Kuei + Halo Elite. I don't like the director's name.

Ridden with clichés, excessive jumpscares, confusing exposition dumps, but good practical gore effects.

Little to no relation with the source material. It feels like they were just throwing random shit to the wall and see what sticks; a slasher, a witch, a giant, demons, ghosts, wendigos, evil doctor... it feels cluttered in of antagonistic forces. Feels very mediocre in regards of narrative. Has the Until Dawn name but feels like a completely different thing. I don't even think they used the time loop mechanic in an interesting way.

There's really no point in adapting a videogame that already plays like an interactive movie into a movie. If you're able to play the game just go play the game, or watch the playthrough on YouTube with branching narratives like I did myself 10 years ago.

"There's not a single line of code in this that could be thought of as a game in any traditional sense."

Game development is part of the equation so I'm already interested from the get-go. It's connected to previous BM episode 'Bandersnatch'!

Establishes the very interesting concept of creating life in digital form and how can it make its way evolving within a virtual biome while reacting and interacting with the outside world all on its own.

Visually pleasing in its color usage and sets, specially the interrogation room. So suspenseful to watch a game journalist going schizo with his preview copy of an experimental videogame like a ticking time bomb while retelling the events that led up to where he is right now.

Good and interesting episode.

Original Review

This is my second time watching it in theaters, my first time 20 years ago when it came out obviously!

Yoda was aura farming the entire film.

Original Review

Yeah I don't know why I hadn't given this 5 starsm This shit bangs.

Original Review

Watched again now on IMAX. They said this was the definitive way to watch it and that's absolutely right. What a fucking beautiful film.

Glad I didn't quit 2 minutes in when Awkwafina appeared on screen!

I loved the pacing and concept on this one. Basically, it's about remaking a vintage film shot for shot in a reconstruction of the set within a virtual realm, all in real time and in one sitting! Since it's about the filmmaking process and the difficulties that come with, you already got me hooked.

It juggles around with the idea of an existential crisis of an AI construct and the romantic attachment of a human actress. You could say this season's "San Junipero". Great episode.

Also, Balatro mentioned! 🫵🃏

Very well put together documentary by AOP. Some fans are reasonable but others are just manchildren. I grew up with the prequels and loved them for the most part, and I hate the sequels. The cycle continues...

It builds a really good atmosphere of mystery and intrigue but I feel it falls off during the climax and ending. It involves technology but bordering on the fantasious. Could have been a cool episode about altering reality, more on the "Twilight Zone" side. Not a bad one, but the expository overexplanation of the dynamics of the plot, with the overused resource of the "multiverse" and the finale kinda killed the mood, in my opinion.

A tale set in the post-WW1 American south, involving Louisiana vampires! Music is a big part of the story, particularly blues. There is a whole aura of mysticism wrapped around it, establishing ancestral connections through the art of music. In a way, it also speaks about the homogenization and appropriation of music, arts and culture in contemporary society.

Obvious highlight is Michael B. Jordan acting as a pair of twins with two very different personalities. Loved the color coding of red and blue to tell them apart, good twin bad twin dynamic. Excellent performance.

Loved the visuals. Beautiful photography, the color motifs, the contrast between the warm and welcoming colors in human spaces put against the cold and deep blue of the nocturnal swampland where vampires lurk in the dark. There’s a particular outdoor dance scene that blew me away. And that other one involving spirit conjuration through music? fucking beautiful, high artistry stuff. You'll know when you see them, and almost certainly be as inspired as I was.

Perfect movie for both music enthusiast and vampire lovers with some From Dusk ‘Til Dawn influence. Bloody and violent just enough to scratch that action-horror itch. Ryan Coogler just pulled this out like that. Daring, audacious and visionary. It evoked emotions in me for a culture I'm not even part of. I'll be thinking about this movie for a long time.

2025, the year of vampire cinema. Confirmo, es CINERS 🚬

Not particularly outstanding but very fun and enjoyable nonetheless. Its gimmick sort of saves it from being generic; its quirkiness and cheese makes it situationally hilarious.

Great appearance from the honorable Buddha, Jacob Batalon. 🧘

Up to a good start. This is what I wanted to see returning to Black Mirror, the horrors of transhumanism, the unnatural mix of technology and flesh. A *common* issue since the Netflix acquisition has been the dilution of the series to gather more mainstream appeal, the gringo made episodes are generally not as good as the british ones, but this one is sufficiently bleak and depressing, and of course! that's because Charlie Brooker wrote it. It's just a downer to watch a couple struggle financially during a healthcare crisis in a dehumanizing economic system that grows more hostile every day.

A huge critique on the predatory subscription based services, but again, looks like the call is coming from inside the house...

Surprisingly good visually, some very creative artistic choices in the way it's edited. Interesting plot built on the Hitchcockian principles of suspense. Some clichés and corniness here and there but it was actually a good watch.

Premise sounds cool on paper and the action is somewhat fun to look at but I just couldn't take it seriously at all. In order for me to take it seriously, my willing suspension of disbelief has to deal with the fact that the Michelle Obama / Kamala Harris stand-in really wants to help Africa prosper to the point of erradicating famine with a grand agricultural project instead of sending another 50 billion USD to Israel. Also, it has that very common problem in action films where the antagonist makes some fairly good points but you can't completely sympathize with him because he's a hot-headed chud idiot, like, he's literally a crypto-bro.

Ridiculous and fun to watch if you don't mind everyone being total idiots in life or death situations. Antony Starr is great.

Such a treat watching Clint Eastwood act out all grumpy and racist, so funny in many ways. Great film. 🚬

Amazing. Carpenter's signature special effects present. The main vampire was so cool.

Original Review

This movie is so cute and I love it.

Simon Stålenhag's very cool and unique art style gets - I don't want to say wasted as that's probably too strong of a word - but gets misused, they didn't take advantage of it, the potential wasn't truly exploited. The special effects aren't even bad, in fact most of the time they look very good, but the ludicrous budget this had couldn't be justified.

The premise is good and interesting but may be overshadowed by the corny writing and usage of some easily unlikable actors, no need to mention them.

I guess the character design and art style is still cool, so if you're fond of works like Fallout or Atomic Heart, involving retro-futuristic aesthetics, you might enjoy it more, at least visually.

Nodding my head in disapproval every 10 minutes so it's clear I'm an ally.

Good horror movie and nice story. Some scenes were genuinely scary and off-putting.

Trama básica de gato y ratón que pareciera sacada de Ghost Recon Breakpoint. Tiene buena dirección de acción y combate fisico, o stunts, y los efectos especiales decentes.

Ahora, considerando las conotaciones sociales, bien se puede recibir como propaganda militarista del gobierno de la cuatro-té, hasta las escenas donde se muestras los vehiculos, uniformes y ceremonias están filmados de la misma manera fetichista que podrías ver en cualquier spot de la SEDENA. Estaría excelente vivir en el México ficticio que se representa aquí donde los guachos si le ponen su verguiza a los malandros. Los altos mandos presumen la militarización del país pero ironicamente hay más inseguridad que nunca porque no se toman acciones directas en materia de seguridad mientras colectivamente fingimos que el país entero no esta bajo el control total de los cárteles. En ese aspecto esta peli si tiene ese maquillaje hollywoodense de peli militar gringa. El ejercito es una institución incorruptible y la culpa fue del politico corrupto que puso dedo.

Pienso que esto se estrenó en un muy mal momento, sobre todo considerando los eventos recientes en Jalisco y Tamaulipas, este último siendo el estado en el que se desarrolla la trama. Pero bueno, no quiero desviarme de la reseña de la peli en sí con un rant sociopolitico.

Supongo, al menos está bien ver un producto audiovisual mexicano "diferente" en el que el punto de vista está del lado de los "buenos" y se desarrolla en otro lado que no sea Chilangolandia.

Beautiful looking movie. Timely ambiguous as it replicates a 60's movie with its technicolor and aesthetics while leaving hints as modern cars in the background. I was absolutely stupefied by Samantha Robinson's beauty. Totally get why those guys fell hard for it.

Truly fascinating technique. That first sequence on the beaches of Normandy was brutal and harrowing. Visually stunning.
