What was the last movie you watched? (2015 Edition)


Recommended Posts

Equilibrium (netflix rainy day, gf abroad, nothing to do, found this)

 

I think it was at least ok, I enjoyed watching

 

i don't understand why people seem not to like the movie.  it was AMAZING.     just came out around of time of Matrix, and seem a weaker copy, maybe.

 

 

forget the cliche story.... actual implementation of the movie is one of the best!     it is definately in my top 10 overall action scifi movies that are fun to watch.

i have being planning to watch this and cumberbatch Imitation Game.

I did not realize cumberbatch already did a previous reincarnation of hawking movie already, years ago...

 

i think i am going to go with imitation game first, but i am still not sure. 

both sound potentially very interesting, both sound like they can be boring too though... 

 

eventually i will definitely watch both.   but not sure when

 

Benedict's Hawking is a good movie but it is all at the very start of his life at university. You see him in the very beginning of his illness before he loses the ability to walk. Because of this it isn't really possible to compare the two films. Benedict did a very good job in the role but he didn't have to go anywhere near where Eddie had too physically.

 

The Imitation Game is great too but remember it isn't a documentary so don't take it all at face value.

Birdman..

I expected a movie tailored for the movie industry and the oscars, I wasn't disapointed... I want my 2 hours back -_-

 

Ha yeah it is exactly the kind of movie the Academy love. A quirky film about film stars. Who woulda guessed it would win best film :p

Brilliant, well-shot documentary about Snowden (plus The Guardian reporters involved) and filmed alongside him as the leaks were released to the media worldwide, well worth a watch just to see his reasoning behind the mass surveillance disclosures in 2013.

 

9/10, only because I wanted more.

same here too, and its on TV Channel 4 wednesday at 23:05 :D

Equilibrium was very good movie. It's an hidden gem like Dark City.

 

At first the gun kata idea looks so bad and stupid it's a wonder the director was able to make something good out of this stupid script. I would rate Equilibrium's script 6/10 at the very most. Totally clich

Why can't you decide? IMHO it is an incredible movie.

6 for the ending and 8 overall. IMHO.

Had high hopes for this but was disappointed with the overlapping of multiple arcs from the anime that made it difficult to follow the plot and there wasn't enough characterization in general. The casting however, was exceptionally spot on (Sanosuke and Saito) and the sword fights with Kenshin were pretty awesome.

 

Need to watch the sequel, hopefully that fares better - 6/10

What a waste...

The scenario is good, the last act is pretty good, but the rest.... man...

 

The first 30 minutes? Oh boy... I want to forget them...

Die Antwoord as actors? Forget it, they're a a nerve-racking caricature

Dev Patel? Barely better

Sigourney Weaver and Hugh Jackman are (good) footnotes

The gangsta/electronica/whatever music made me gnash my teeths and almost made me leave, I wish I had a remote to fast-forward at times...

 

5/10 and I'm generous..

The Pyramid

I was slightly let down by this film. There wasn't really anything in the way of suspense or horror. There are plenty of better films that cover the same themes, such as As Above, So Below and The Descent. However, it did remind me of my interest in Egyptian mythology.

4/10

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
