Yeah I’m looking forward to it. The critics are such nobs now, they completely degrade anything these days, like they are some sort of experts but they really don’t understand the purpose of a movie!

Yeah for sure, I trust the comment's on this thread more than the so called critic rating/review. ;)

good day ! 

So, as for Avatar - The Way of the Water, even though I have a quite good Home Theater setup, I had to go see it in a cinema. 

Without spoiling anything, I'd say the movie is worth watching and obviously paying to watch it. 
The main story, and plot, isn't something you've never experienced before, but the Visual, and Audio effects, are next to perfect.

The film, is PURE EYECANDY !

Especially in 3D and I don't like 3D.

I've seen it both 3D and not now.

Sadly, I couldn't see the 3D version because it was played on a small screen in my local theater. 
Less people actually view 3D movies (at least here) so the Theater moves the 3D version of the movie, on a smaller room with a smaller screen. 

So I guess, I went for the larger format. :D

Yeah, not a fan of 3D myself. I would of opted for the same. ;) 

I watched it on the big screen (went for V-MAX).. nice seats/elbow room .. :) , I enjoyed it.

I'm not either but this movie is actually better in 3D.

Yea I can understand that but I've already watched it at the cinema (non 3D). I just can't justify going back to re-watch in 3D.

Probably should have gone with 3D to start with, but as I said I don't usually like that format. Never mind, I enjoyed the standard version anyway. ;)

Great idea for a thread ! of course, everything will be subjective, but keep it going!

I agreed with the thoughts on Way of Water, however being an old fart, I still preferred the newness and wonder of the original. The sequel did an amazing job without a doubt, but what a budget ! I thought that a fair few arcs were just carried into the new movie, but because the visuals were so impressive it didn't matter too much! 

I'm a fan of mind bender films, including surreal. Ones that have you still thinking about them years later. "The Endless" and "Enter the void" are two that spring to mind. Slow burns that at first seem to be meandering, but as they progress the burn gets hotter. They're not mainstream, but I'd recommend them if you're a fan of this kind of movie.

The Endless (2017) - IMDb (9/10)

Enter the Void (2009) - IMDb (9/10)

Dune part 2

I watched this on the big screen (v-max). If you liked the first movie and are a fan of the book series this is a must watch!

If by the first movie you mean the original done in 1984 then yes it was great, but the 2021 movie was pure garbage. I haven't watched part 2 yet, but hoping from its length it can make up for part 1.

The 1984 movie with "Sting" LOL. That was bad! 😆

The TV mini series on Syfy crapped all over that!

The new movie series by Denis Villeneuve is far better, plus we have one more movie to come to complete the series much like the TV mini series. 👍

NOT EVEN REMOTELY TRUE. Movie one of the recent trilogy was GARBAGE.

Thought Dune Part 1 looked terrific. Still fell asleep half way through though.

OTOH, am looking forward to the 4K of North by Northwest when its available.

It got a really low rating and for good reason. I guess you like it because it's got that peanut head Patrick Stewart in it... 😘

No need for that, thanks.

Dune 1 and Dune 2 are fantastic as a single movie, I agree that by itself Dune 1 is underwhelming, but Dune 2 makes it a far better movie.

Recently I've watched Wicked Little Letters (w/ the wife, bad movie) Fall Guy (crap) and Last Stop in Yuma County (a pleasant surprise).

If you get the chance i cannot recommend Civil War enough.    

It is a bit of a tough watch, but a very good movie, not at all what it looks like going in.

Enjoyed this, thanks.

I also watched Anatomy of a Fall recently.  I typically don't like subtitled movies (this was about half French) but this movie is very good.

If you liked the performance of Sandra Hüller, give The Zone of interest a shot.
