Kinda, I just sort of felt there was a bit more to follow.
They didn't do a whole lot to explain the Who or the Why around the island.

They were also deliberately vague around Skyfox's fate too. Another gamble they might regret as he seemed like one of the stronger characters.

Yeah, big swing and a miss there

Waiting for Skyfox was the only thing keeping it going but the finale was terrible

Army Of The Dead

One of the stupidest movies I have seen for quite some time. Two and a half hours of shít. I found it to be shockingly bad, and I'm a horror fan.

I'm looking forward to nail bomber

i was living in London at the time working for an irish retail business and we got a visit from the police warning us that they had reason to believe an irish business would be targeted . we were a few streets away from old compton street when the bomb went off . the chaos after was unbelievable . very scary couple of weeks .

'Kicking and Screaming' was recently added to Netflix. It's Noah Baumbach's directorial debut. I've enjoyed his work before so gave it a whirl. I nearly didn't stick with it because the first ten minutes or so was pretty pretentious but I'm so glad I did. It's a low-key gem with a few very funny moments and clever dialogue. You get sucked in and it uses flashback well. I'd put it in the same genre as 'Reality Bites'.

What's interesting is that its cast didn't take off. You know when you're watching an indie or small film from the '90s and it's unbelievable how many future big stars were in it? Well, sadly, that didn't happen for these actors, even though they're all very good. Probably the best known cast members are Parker Posey and Eric Stoltz.

But anyway, I'd recommend it, especially to anyone who has liked other Baumbach films.

Seen Tenet in the cinema and felt the same. Recently watched it on Sky Movies with Subs and it makes so much more sense. Missed a lot of the dialogue in the cinema.

Bit off topic on this thread but I watch everything with subtitles these days. A lot of films have the music/effects very loud and I need to turn it down and then the dialogue comes on and it's the opposite.

Watched this at the weekend and absolutely loved it.

Absolutely rubbish, I'm all for heist and zombie movies but this was long drawn out with zero character development. Attempted to throw in some laughs which didn't work and every zombie / heist cliché was included.

2/10

currently binge watching 'startup'....i think its very good...gets better each episode.

Are you watching on a TV? There's an option in audio settings which improves the sound; I think it's Dolby 5.1 (Original) or something like that. Makes a big difference.

I don't find the problem happens when watching on my iMac.

Any reason why subtitles didn't come on when the Russians were speaking in Start Up? I had to switch subs on and then off when those scenes ended, I watch Netflix through the virgin box.

Same. Glad to hear it’s not just me. Or I’ll leave the subtitles off and accept that I’ll have to spend the entire film adjusting the volume up and down. I find that old films are especially bad for this and I’m sure there’s a good technical reason for that.

It’s not exactly a horror!

It's a comedy. I thought it was great fun. Really enjoyed it.
