    Looks very Number 23 / Mercury Rising / White Noise -ish. Having being following this for a few months.

    ah i think this film looks pretty good


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,836 ✭✭✭Vokes


    Watched a short clip from it here which is a bit spoiler-ish but still pretty awesome. This is from the same guy who did The Crow, Dark City and ahem, I,Robot - so im optimistic.

    Cage hasn't been in a good movie in a while - hopefully this is the one that turns the tide.

    Looks terrible! But it will be a good BIG SCREEN movie so I'll probably go see it.

    The first I saw of this was on posters in Edinburgh last week, but today I see that it's coming out in the USA. Ebert has reviewed it and given it top marks, but I also read the LA Weekly review, which is less positive and has a few spoilers in there. The trailer is a bit misleading, it seems... hint: Cage's character is named John.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    saw that last night...everything goes well until the ball ship showed up...

    imo,the visual effects in the film is awesome,but the story turns out kinda sh!t in the ending...is it really that hard to come out with a slightly less-boring ending??note that i am being kind here,the film is full of plot holes from the start till the end,while,the ending completely ruined all my enjoyment.

    *sigh,no more nicolas cage film from now on,the dude used to be always choose a good movie to take part in it*

    Saw it last night as well

    Thought it was quite sh1te in many respects
    Although some of the visuals were impressive


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,339 ✭✭✭me-skywalker


    Absolute rubbish!! tha pacing of the film was awful ther was no sense of anticipation or believe the world was going to end and a few cop out cheese ball moments... and the ending? ffs grow some balls!

    the plane crash scene was absolutly classic tho and i have to say i was open mouthed for the whole crash and after math.

    I was given a copy of the original script of this and they really managed to f*ck it up. The script is exciting, pretty damn scary and has a similar, but better ending. There's still loads of plot holes, but you don't mind that when you're enjoying something. But this film was pants. Some great effects, but they weren't enough to save the film.

    Thought the film was decent well up to the last 15-20 minutes anyway.

    The special effects are amazing and are worth going to the cinema for alone. Subway crash is up there with one of the best use of special effects I've seen.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 484 ✭✭brennaldo


    the last 30 minutes felt like a mix of armageddon and a disney film,

    some good effects but in total i didnt like it

    My feelings are in the Film Reviews thread here but I can sum it up in two words if you want.

    Complete bollox.
