brent RobertTVarga I stuck with the premise and costumes and fought thru the pain🙂 (yes, torturous in a couple spots) edit: spell
brent Solarmass Interesting concept, but rather boring movie without exciting scenes. My favorite scene is the opening of the movie. But I only watched it once. I wanted to love this as well. I always thought if he (his human version) wanted to talk to her, he was already living in the neighborhood...why pull the long con job on that warrior girl? Let me temper that statement by confessing my own ignorance: I came into the movie about 20 minutes late and didn't get everything.
Solarmass What about anime? Serial Experiments Lain Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Neon Genesis Evangelion Planetes Cowboy Bebop Ergo Proxy
Brucehankins Solarmass yeaaahhh, definitely not an Evangelion fan..... We could start an entire thread on anime series. Currently watching JoJo's Bizzare Adventure, just finished the current season of Fire Force among others.
nolan Solarmass Serial Experiments Lain Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Planetes I've not finished Ghost in the shell jet and looking forward for the others two, that's a good list you got there sir.
Solarmass Brucehankins yeaaahhh, definitely not an Evangelion fan..... I am also not (really) a big Evangelion fan, I just love the giant robots fightings! Brucehankins We could start an entire thread on anime series. Sure, why not 😀 BTW wrong thread for the desktop screens 😛 nolan I've not finished Ghost in the shell which one? 🙂
brent RobertTVarga D9 engaged me at least. Rough in spots. I liked I am Legend but struggled thru this just like you did for District Nine. Smith and the sets were outstanding but the director and writer were both awful. Like breaking even.
Solarmass brent I am Legend Completely forgettable movie, another example is Oblivion (2013). I don't remember even one scene...
kyrios Some good TV Shows that I haven't been mentioned in this thread I think: Counterpart Stranger Things Orphan Black
brent nolan @njakes Didn't see Elysium, will look it up. But I did pop in at IMDB I and I see their similarities, and in fact can see the Elysium scenario someday!--very much an allegory like District Nine (...post-apocalyptic is definitely my favorite genre of sci-fi--probably because it has one foot on this terra.).
Solarmass brent District 9 and Elysium were directed by Neill Blomkamp. District 9 is his best movie and also his the first one. Elysium has good special effects, but movie is average...
brent Solarmass That's the tie-in. I knew with two huge stars something would be amiss...it always is. Wil give it a whirl though someday. One made Contact which was awesome but not sci-fi..much. One made The Martian which I never was interested in seeing. In fact nobody mentioned Mars movies on this list yet. Or Event Horizon (wanted to see it but have not)? Astronaut's wife? never saw Flatliners was wild when I was a kid. Long way to go on this thread, so many fragments🙂
