Twist at the end
14 November 2022
This is intriguing. You think you know you've worked it all out. AI robots getting jealous.

Until the end.

A twist in the tale bigger than any other twist I've ever seen!

I enjoyed this film so much. It's one you need to watch and all through it you're working out what's going on, with so many possibilities it tests you to the limit. Several times we thought "ah ok that's what's going on," and at the end as I said to find we are totally wrong. But that's the main enjoyment, the realisation we were totally wrong, as the twist makes the film.

Just watch it . Hopefully saying there is a massive twist will increase enjoyment.

Marmite!
23 October 2022
You either love it or hate it. One of the most amazing films I have ever seen. Was It happening or not sort of story. I loved it.

It's such a mysterious film that leaves just enough to your own imagination. It's an OMG sort of film but then you start questioning your own interpretation of what's happening. For me brilliant. I had tears down my face from shear horrific disbelief that what you are seeing could be true. Just watch and believe, or not it doesn't really matter. You do need the ability to let go with reality and accept what you're seeing. But then there's always that nagging reality check

Donald Sutherland at his best!

Very clever story
15 May 2022
This is a 'Marmite' film If you can allow your mind to ignore some of it is unbelievable, it's excellent. A much more involved and deep story than I thought.

Very "Armageddon ". Just amazing action scenes and as I said a deeper family story behind it. I loved it.

Brilliant
16 April 2022
If you have the ability to let your imagination run wild, this is a brilliant film. Deals with time travel paradox and has elements of family heartache. A really good film, a few times I thought "oh I hope there not gonna go there with this and they didn't, just kept on track

Brilliant.

In my top ten.
2 April 2022
This film is extremely clever. The only reason people don't score it a ten is the fact they need shoot outs and action. It's all filmed in the cockpit and had me breathless from start to finish.

Amazing film.

Edge of the seat stuff!
23 January 2022
Just amazing. On the edge of my seat the whole film! Shouting at the screen a few times.

You just cannot believe what's happening but it's happening.

Brilliant, if you understand what's going on!
23 January 2022
Luckily my wife has worked with people with dementia and she could explain what was really going on. It's a brilliant portrayal of what is like for a person suffering from the disease.

I can't put a spoiler in this but just so hope you get it!!!

Ridiculous
16 December 2021
Just enjoy it for what it is . Ridiculous!

It does make you wonder sometimes is this trying to be serious or is it a comedy?

No. It's just ridiculous. But fun.

What????
24 May 2020
Wasted time watching this. Absolute drivel. No point in it whatsoever. Keeps you watching because you can't wait for it to start, but trust me it doesn't.

After Earth (2013)
1/10
Tried it despite the bad reviews.
1 March 2014
Don't tend to take a lot of notice of reviews except to gain knowledge of the content, but believe me the bad reviews on this one are correct. We tried it and it lasted 20 minutes. I can't blame Will for trying to launch his sons career but damn (as he would say) but Jayden cannot act Will! Give it up before you crash and burn! This film also tries to be too clever for it's own good. Complicated to try and impress. They should have kept it simple, visual and it may have developed. I know people are thinking 20 minutes is not long enough, a lot of films don't get going but I couldn't stand anymore. 20 minutes of my life I'll never get back. Doesn't really matter if I have missed out I just couldn't watch Jayden embarrassing his Dad anymore.!

Oblivion (I) (2013)
5/10
Visually brilliant! But thats it
29 September 2013
Did anyone actually get this film? Read the questions left unanswered... so many holes in the story! Perhaps It was me expecting a thread, which would have helped but this was a visually stunning (CGI) mish mash. So can anyone tell me if he was a goodie or a baddie? all through the film you cant be sure, which is good, but it ended and I still couldn't decide! Sunday afternoon drivel at its best! Enjoyable discussion followed trying to work it out! Don't misunderstand the CGI is brilliant and the basic story is too... if you can work it out... please message me if you have as I would love to know! Perhaps it's down to Scientology?

Just pure indulgent escapism and fun!
13 April 2012
If you like films like Transformers, Terminator, Armageddon and many more that just require you to sit back and enjoy the visual experience along with a good deal of tension, please do not miss this. Completely BRILLIANT CGI, and surprisingly some unknown actors who were awesome! Just fitted the parts so well. I sat there gobsmacked but I do have the ability to ignore the fact that what I am seeing is unbelievable, but if your making a sci fi film how can you deal with reality? I really felt through the film excited, sad, happy, tearful....... this film has all those features. And they managed to get the gun ho American bit just right.... some real good funny moments too! PLEASE Don't MISS THIS! Don't worry about the first 25 minutes, it just builds the story..... Then POW! Non stop action from there! Enjoy!

Chronicle (2012)
8/10
Really enjoyed this film! Pure fantasy fun.
18 February 2012
Saw the trailer and went to see this with my daughter. I really enjoyed it as it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Its pure fantasy and you have to be able to watch without judging the fact that a lot of what you are seeing is a bit ridiculous, take it for what it is, a fantasy film. It has so many emotions in it and the scenario is excellent. Really made me think. It has guilt, hatred, sadness, fun, confusion and a lot more. One minute i was smiling and laughing and literally the next I felt a tear in my eye. My only reason for not giving it a ten is that I thought it was too short. Especially the last 30 minutes seem to be rushed and I left the cinema wanting more. If you are able to let your imagination run wild, don't miss this!

This is the truth
14 May 2011
I am 48 years old and took my 13 year old daughter to see this. Intended to get a nap while there but I HAVE TO NOW SAY IT WAS PURE ENTERTAINMENT! The way the film is put together is fantastic. Tells his life story and his achievements, IMDb should block all the Beiber Bashers who are just doing it for the same reason that kids say they hate school dinners, cos it ain't hip to like them. This film inspires young people, never say never. Justin followed a dream and achieved it. I truly believe that this film tells the truth about Justin and people who aren't real fans push back against it as it actually proves that he is very talented and has achieved what many people want. their dream. Jealousy is a sad trait. But I suggest you forget if you like his music, watch this film and enjoy it for what it is. A fun story, well put together, about a person who has achieved the ultimate. What he said he was going to do when he was 5 !

The Island (2005)
9/10
Just watch this and enjoy!
15 March 2010
If you liked The Matrix and Blade Runner, this is similar but I found it easier to understand. It's actually set in a believable future. I just hope it doesn't give a company idea's to do what they're doing in this film for real... or are they already? Don't want to give spoilers. It's edge of your seat stuff, which keeps you guessing all the way through and at the same time time desperate to discover the answers to the questions which pop up continuously. First film in ages I could watch again the next night. Think it would have an extra enjoyment factor watching it again but knowing the answers. Just watch it, let your imagination go, you won't regret it. The only reason I did it give it a ten is that I think some of the script was a bit cheesy. Picky criticism though!

Seven Pounds (2008)
10/10
Just watch it and wait.
24 January 2010
This is a film which you have to watch for an hour wondering what the hell is happening, then the real reasons for what your seeing are explained. Believe me it's worth the wait. If you only watch one film for the rest of your life, make sure it's this one! And if you don't have a tear in your eye, you've gone to sleep. It's true that after you have seen it, you will want to see it again. This is one of those "Oh my God" films... you can't believe it but it is done in such a way that it does not matter. Please watch this film, you will not regret it, as I said just enjoy it for the first 60 minutes, don't worry, all will be explained! Now in my top 10 films list... No.. top 2 actually.
