Letterboxd — Your life in film

Some people would see the lack of peril as novelty.. I didn’t. Just made me think of Ennio Morricone’s soundtrack for Mission to Mars. How a mediocre film was elevated by that soundtrack. Maybe somebody could do a swap.

 It’s better than Alien Covenant... I guess.

That Masamune Shirow lifted aesthetic for set prod value, specially in Jones and the interface head set. Henry Rollins and ICE T being put in everything by their agents in the mid 90s.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Still into that Spaghetti Western opening titles. This should be more energetic than it turned out to be, like Cherry 2000. I suspect the Hollywood production co (and Director) that turned up halfway through sapped it of momentum. Ingredients are all there.. It’s just a little flat. Trying to turn it into last years big hit. When it started out as the gooood trash.

I’m not saying anything. I cried the same quoter as the last two. Need to see it again.. a good send off.‬

That MGM / Disney creative production values applied to Sci Fi. Shakespeare and Fraud. That middle THE EXPOSITION is still slog. The iD was unnerving as child and the electronic sound design is still there.

Made me want to go listen to Windowlicker by AFX. Once got stuck at New Years Eve house party in middle of Derbyshire nowhere in the snow... Horrendous.

Never actually seen this all the way throu. It’s ridiculous, but it gets away with it. Some of the gangs look they in a off Broadway show instead of defending it. But it seems to power on throu on concept & conviction in that opening 20mins. There seems to be a bit call a response here: Carpenter’s Assault on Precinct 13 > Hill’s The Warriors > Carpenter’s Escape From New York....

lil’ flat but functional, like a T-800 that’s been chewed up and squashed in a 3rd act. Don’t ever look up anything plot on this. There’s one or two biggies. Left thinking about Aliens and what Alien3 did with the toy set.
