[biolumen]

To keep the board a bit more organized, I'll start a new thread for tonight's test screening. There should be lots of info coming in. Just put it here.

I think blackmocco mentioned he's going to be at that screening. If all fails DGSimo & biolumen will flood this thread with info

Please make spoiler posts with 'SPOILER' at the start.

Thanks

I have not seen it, but here's a review:

Seems to test well to those impressed by CGI and big explosions and intensity. Apparently the film has great visuals and looks fantastic. Yawn. I'm unimpressed by video game graphics. I think the 1979 grittiness of MM1 looks amazing. I'd much prefer a film that IS fantastic rather than LOOKS fantastic. For all purposes this may as well be Fast and Furious part 8. Grim and violent, but no blood spilled. Likely to be PG13 to recoup their investment.

Not exactly what I want to see in MM4 unfortunately.

That's not a review of tonight's screening. It was yet another reaction to the extended preview they showed at Comic Con on Saturday. Did you even read the link before posting?

Does it make it any less valid of a review??? Or are you just trying to be argumentative here?

Yes because it's not a review of the movie it's a reaction to the Comic Con preview. I'm shaking my head in disbelief right now.

Clearly I'm not worthy of breathing the same oxygen as you or worthy to be alive or communicate in your omnipotent presence. Geesh, get over yourself.

Just back from the screening. Hard to digest what I've just seen. I'm not going to post spoilers, sorry. Think I need a night to really absorb it. It's an insane movie. Seriously. Probably the most unique big budget movie I've ever seen. It's closer in tone and style to Thunderdome than MM2, I think but it's very removed from the original trilogy. MUCH bigger, for one thing. Reminded me of Damnation Alley in places. For those of you worried about the sci-fi bent, you're not going to be happy. It's packed full of ideas, sometimes overwhelmingly so. The car chases and stuntwork are absolutely breathtaking. The movie looks beautiful. Cast are great although Hardy's unpredictable. He won't be for everyone. All this talk about the BoB but you'll fall in love with the War Rig, so it evens out nicely. Couldn't see it being an R. There's nothing here as gnarly as MM2.
