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

    • Who wants to pay higher prices for the same 6+ year hardware in a new shell? This is hardware where things change fast and improve continuously. They could update w/ quicker/more efficient compute, faster storage, new controllers with new features (not a shell/design update), which are all realistic possibilities. They've done mid-generation console updates, but all we've had for Series X/S are not just different configuration updates (storage / digital versions / console aesthetics). Instead they've prioritized acquisitions, increasing prices, and have lost quite bit of their fan base because of lack of vision.
    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter by Usama Jawad LibreOffice maintainer The Document Foundation (TDF) has often criticized Microsoft for popularizing the OOXML standard for documents instead of the truly open-source OpenDocument Format (ODF). It has also bashed the Redmond tech giant for putting its own commercial interests over everything else. Now, it has switched targets a bit to aim its sights at the Euro-Office suite launching tomorrow. For those unaware, Euro-Office is a direct fork of OnlyOffice. It is being marketed as an open-source "European sovereign alternative" to proprietary services like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. It is being developed by a coalition of European companies including Nextcloud, IONOS, and Tuta. However, TDF has disagreed with this marketing classification in an open letter, saying that it is not the first open-source office suite being developed in Europe, as that honor belongs to OpenOffice.org, back in 2001. In a snide remark, it has emphasized that it feels "compelled" to clarify this because open-source initiatives should highlight transparency, not deception. It has stated that OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice are the only two "genuine" office suites with codebases in Europe, indicating that Euro-Office is a freeware clone of Microsoft Office that has rebranded itself to masquerade as a symbol of digital sovereignty. TDF has also remarked on the fact that those that are championing digital sovereignty now were very dismissive of LibreOffice and ODF a couple of decades ago: The LibreOffice has once again called out Microsoft for its "horrible" OOXML standard which locks in customers. Euro-Office also leverages this OOXML format, which effectively makes it an ally of Microsoft, according to LibreOffice. That said, it is unlikely if TDF's strong words will have any impact on the adoption or marketing of Euro-Office.
    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off the official live stream of the WWDC 2026 annual developer event. The company began its latest wave of announcements with changes to the controversial Liquid Glass design language, which debuted last year across Apple's entire software ecosystem. A lot of people didn't like Liquid Glass when it first arrived on iPhone and other devices last year. The devices were plagued with transparency issues and whatnot. While Apple improved things over the year, it has now added a new Liquid Glass slider that lets you switch the transparency from clear to opaque. In other words, you can choose the amount of Liquid Glass you want to see on your iPhone instead of an on/off switch, which would only give you two choices. The sidebars now expand to the edge of the window. When you scroll the UI sideways, the refraction continues beneath the sidebar rather than being cut off at the boundary. Moreover, sidebar icons keep their color. Apple has changed the way Liquid Glass is rendered across the system. There is a separation between different layers, which makes buttons in the toolbar stand out from the background. Apple said it "deeply appreciates" the feedback it received from users and has made adjustments to Liquid Glass. New customizations allow Liquid Glass to improve contrast and enable a more vibrant appearance. The new icons have sharper edges, which addresses an old complaint that iOS 26 icons look blurry at smaller sizes. The upgraded Liquid Glass, Apple said, is building on last year's design upgrades by "integrating additional layers of Liquid Glass directly into the artwork itself." Apple's upgraded design language is available on iOS 27, which is arriving this year with no changes to the list of supported iPhones.
    • FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
