    I watched Fall, it was good enough, although the very very end of it was too rushed, it seemed to be missing an important 10mins of the story. It reminded me a lot of Frozen, not the cartoon but the film about the ski chairlift stopped with few kids stuck in it.

    Good watch. A movie that really excels in 3d though. Excellent for anyone with 3d TV / VR headset.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,420 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Every time I see Sky High the series listed I instantly think they made a series of the Disney movie then am disappointed when I realise it isn't that.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,293 ✭✭✭✭~Rebel~


    ‘Extraordinary’ isn’t a million miles off - a world where everyone has powers but this one girl doesn’t. Irish actress too… think it’s on Disney+ in Ireland.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,420 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Watched it and enjoyed it. But I liked Sky High as well. Maybe Disney+ will do a sequel of some sort.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,472 ✭✭✭apache


    I've never watched the series before either but am going to try out the film and see how it goes... I don't have too much invested in it.

    Edit - Ah no I had to turn it off.

    Hustle - starring Adam Sandler has been available for a while but I only watched it over the weekend, a decent watch if a little formulaic at times but I always an enjoy a basketball story.



  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Regional Abroad Moderators Posts: 11,093 Mod ✭✭✭✭Fysh


    What put you off, out of curiousity? I'm interested to hear what someone who hasn't seen the series made of the film.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,332 ✭✭✭SCOOP 64


    Haven't seen the series just watched the film, still a good watch just that I didn't know why Luther was in prison in the first place but that didn't put me off the film . It's been said and agree James bond feel about it especially ending.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,814 ✭✭✭flasher0030


    I had never heard of the Luther series until a couple of days before watching the movie, but I thought the film was very enjoyable. I'm sure there were plenty of plot holes and exaggerations, but for what it was trying to be, it was very entertaining. Plenty of action, decent story, a credible baddie etc.

    I didn't feel like I was missing out on any back-story. There didn't seem like there was meant to be any connection between the Robey story and anything that may have gone before, at least nothing obvious anyway.

    Man, you'd think by now services and Hollywood would stop front-loading these plans til the proof of concept passes muster & succeeds. Save shared universe stuff til the audience shows they're interested, lads!

    I had watched all the Luther series - really enjoyed them.

    Luther the film - quite watchable. Not necessary to have seen the series, but it does help somewhat.

    Wrong side of the tracks I thought was a decent watch.

    Main character is from Unauthorised living which was a great series.

    Watched 2 episodes last night after seeing recommendation here. Will finish tonight but have to agree, very interesting watch so far. Quite thought provoking how this might have played out now in an age of you tube and social media.

    That's mad, I got a few episodes in yesterday and really enjoyed it though not as sophisticated or believable as some BBC dramas I guess it'd be compared to..



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,793 ✭✭✭FunLover18


    Each to their own, I wanted to enjoy it but it was moving so quickly to set up the mysteries and I knew it wouldn't be half as quick to solve them. It felt like they had a checklist of certain things to explain and characters to introduce. I stopped at the home invasion scene when your one came downstairs and asked "what are those papers", just one example of clunky dialogue and poor acting.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 36,711 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    Does it include season's 4 and 5 perchance?

    Not that it's any great loss if it didn't.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,050 ✭✭✭youcancallmeal


    From looking at the trailer it seems like a similar concept to The Recruit from last year which I also gave up on after 30 mins



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,091 ✭✭✭appledrop


    I thought the MH370 series turned into a load of crap.

    1st episode was really good, giving background and meeting the families but then it just descended down the rabbit hole of mad conspiracy theories, not for me.

    Very disappointed with it.

    I'll give Waco a go, hope they do a better job of that.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 33,506 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    It is similar.

    The Night Agent is an okay watch. Not one you would binge over the weekend but rather watch a few episodes when there is nothing really else to watch. It's not exactly taxing to follow but somewhat enjoyable nonetheless.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,563 ✭✭✭✭peteeeed




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,472 ✭✭✭apache


    Really like BBC dramas so flicking through I came up with one I hadn't seen - You don't know me. A four parter. Gonna give it a shot.

    That's right up there, watched it recently enough.. Looking forward to more Happy Valley whenever that lands.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,472 ✭✭✭apache


    Good stuff, I'm getting stuck into watching. Happy Valley is something I never watched. The name seemed stupid and put me off. But I did hear it was very good so might check it out next.

    Oh do, it's a powerhouse from the writer Sally Wainwright and actor Sarah Lancashire, don't let the name put you off at all.

    I watched "in from the side".

    Well an hour of it, it is absolutely dreadful, I am not saying the leads are wooden but every time they were on screen it was like having a chest of drawers thrown at the camera. Dialogue...horrendous, like sub Hollyoaks.

    I would recommend Weekend if you want something similar that is actually good.
