Never liked it, not gonna start liking it anytime soon.
It puts me to sleep.
It's an interesting movie, and has spawned a billion memes, but it was extremely poorly acted, and the fight scene just plain went on too damned long. Worth watching, but probably not more than once.
The sequel had some great scenes and her character was delightful.
Saw it as a teenager, wasn’t impressed. Perhaps I’d appreciate it more now that I’m older; but then again, have no real drive to try.
THIS is why the movie is great. The soundtrack was PERFECT. It made the movie. Don't believe me? Watch it with the mute button on, you'll think it is some low-budget, made-for-network-TV replicant of a real science fiction movie.
As no other movie has ever done, it touched me with the deep and profound realization that I had just wasted 72 minutes of my life that I would never get back. (Of course I own the DVD.)
It is perfect for the film. By coincidence I was watching a video about vintage synths yesterday which featured the Yamaha CS-80. I couldn’t believe the amount of hand wiring it had inside. All of these intricate bundles of hand soldered point to point wires. I was trying to imagine how long the QC checkout must have taken.
From everything made by the skilled hands of a smart man, to everything being made by the programmed hands of a smart machine.
Once SkyNet becomes self-aware, humans truly become expendable.
72 minutes wasted is better than 3H 58M wasted on Gone With The wind. So it could be worse.
I have the ED wood set with 5 other movies. All are very entertaining to various degrees.
Actually Plan 9 is by no means the worst movie. I’d give “Reds” the honor.
Watched 90 minutes of the new one last night in bed, still got an hour to how.
Must say pretty boring so far looks great plot pretty preposterous.
Put me to sleep well though...
Maybe I’ll finish it tonight....maybe
His holo computer girlfriend is the best thing so far.
I want one...
Try watching star wars or rocky without the music.
It made those two movies..
Try watching Rocky II-V WITh the music - they are horrible films.
She’s he best thing about the most recent Bond movie, small though was her role.
Thinking about this flick since you posted it.
I remember reading “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep” and being totally mesmerized for weeks.
Then the film finally hit - I had heard only briefly before about the death of Philip K. Dick so I did something I rarely do, actually went to the theatre to watch it.
I must have watched this movie over 50 times! So I stuck it in this morning and watched it again!
I don’t know if it’s the greatest sci-fi movie ever but it’s pretty damn close!
