Surely one of the most gorgeous movies ever made? I was legit stunned at the sheer beauty of this film. Lovers of cinematography, you must absolutely rocket this movie to the top of your watchlist. I mean look at these:
Every..... Other..... Frame..... Could..... Be….. A..... Painting!
I kid you not the whole movie looks like this, it's not just a handful of carefully-selected shots.

I'm so glad this was finally restored…
The more I watch this guy, Yuen Biao, the more amazed I am.

Stunts - 96/100 | There's legit a stunt at the end of this movie I was wondering just how the hell do you survive this?!
Narrative - 69/100 | Surprisingly enjoyable and well-rounded for a Sammo Hung flick! My subs were terrible so I guess that didn't help with the melodramatic parts, but many lovely small scenes and character moments.
Fight Choreography - 96/100 | All…

Lmao

You know what, this movie has a ridiculous screenplay and it's mostly trash.
But Donald Sutherland going around being utterly and hilariously jaded, detached, and borderline suicidal in a sinking Russian ship assaulted by a virus beamed down from an alien space vessel that looks like a blue dumpling, while this virus gets to work creating basically awesomely intricate Ultron bots and attempting to cyborgize the humans on the ship (and managing to not kill the black guy first)… certainly…
That Jackie Chan and Michelle Yeoh never starred together again on-screen after Supercop is an outright tragedy.
Everything about these 2 together in this movie is, quite simply, absolute perfection.
And the rest is pretty damn awesome too.
The Big Short's realist and even more depressing twin.
Excellent documentary that highlights just how frustrating it is that
a) only about 10 people had the power to actually do something about the 2008 financial crisis. Since sociopaths naturally climb to power positions, they didn't give a flying fuck about the consequences of their actions. No surprises there.
b) nothing happened to those people who were responsible.
c) even though the source of this shit happened in the USA, it…
