Its harder to find a bad Matt Damon movie than a good one. He's been in a ton of good flicks; the Bourne movies, Saving Private Ryan (small part but still), Talented Mr. Ripley, The Informant, The Departed, Chasing Amy, The Rainmaker, Courage Under Fire, Invictus, Scfhool Ties, etc.
Yeah Matt Damon is pretty good. That said, the Eastwood movie he did recently and Green Zone were both pretty meh I just couldn't watch Green Zone. I got bored everytime I tried and gave up pretty fast. Actually I think he was pretty good in Hereafter but that was just a weak movie overall.
I also had never really known who Philip K was until last night. Surprising since I love a lot of his works that have been made into film. I'm going to have to read some of his novels as he had a great way of conceptualizing.
I liked this movie alright. Kinda turned into a sappy love story but it was different. The guy who played Harry is also a pretty solid actor.
Really? You are in for a treat then. I still don't want them to make Ubik, it won't be right. I didn't care to see this either when I read how they changed it. A Scanner Darkly was done really well though.
Yeah I really don't know how I missed him considering I love Minority Report, Total Recall and Blade Runner.
oh yeah, 's original stories that I've read have all been way better than the movie adaptations.
After reading Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep, I'm pretty disappointed with Blade Runner....honestly I'd love to see a remake that's more faithful to the book.
solid movie tbh...emily blunt is one able female
After seeing this thread resurface I caught it tonight. Well done movie and an interesting concept. Some of the limitations were kind of silly seeings how these were supposed to be heavenly beings(the water thing and Damon just punching one out with no problem immediately come to mind). Overall the acting was top notch though and the story development was engaging...which evened out some of the head scratching small details.
Excellent excellent film. Those who say Hollywood is running out of ideas need to see this film. Really this is kind of an intellectual Christian's wet dream.Very true. Thought it was a solid movie.
this is a film that makes people who think they're intellectual feel intellectual by saying they liked it
Oh yeah and lol at all this Emily blunt love, she is VERY mediocre.
Agreed. Yeah, she's hot and pretty much any guy would sleep with her blah blah blah...but it's Hollywood, I'm sure they can find better in the pool.
Don't badmouth the greatness of "Scotty Doesn't Know"
yeah, among other things, this movie was made unbelievable by damons obsession with bewedding this homely chick. If she was fine as I'da bought into it.
lol heroin
LOLOLOLOL this of course is coming from a guy who thinks Maggie Gyllenhall is hot
lol thispego calling somebody else homely.
Yeah I changed my stance on Maggie, she was hideous in dark knight. I just like her name, Maggie. I ever have a daughter, im naming her Maggie.
TBH I thought her role was well cast. She looks like a dancer to me.
Bro I only scoff things that deserve scoffing, I'm not a indiscriminate scoffer.
I didn't think this movie required a whole lot of deep thought. You could pretty much take everything at face value. I'm sorry you thought it was a "thinker".this is a film that makes people who think they're intellectual feel intellectual by saying they liked it
I always thought Inception was the kind of movie that some people say that enjoyed because they thought it made them look smarter. Inception was a smart movie, and well-made. But you don't have to be a genius to follow the story line.
That's why I said people who think they're intellectuals say they liked it.
In any event, the reason I think its an intellectual Christian's wet dream is because of how it reconciles the free will dichotomy. Pretty clever, IMO.
