Oh, I thought it released already since it „appeared” on my media center last weekend in a very good quality.
- Looked like a neat movie i was interested in seeing I just don't like going to movie theaters now that OLED tvs and atmos sound systems exist.
It was an interesting movie I thought, not terrible but not great
- I enjoyed it, but it felt like it could've done with some editing.
- I hope filmmakers keep expermenting with unusual premises like this. Can't help but think they'll gesture to the financial performance of this one and use it as an excuse not to take risks.
  Maybe it will have a long tail on streaming!
I saw this in theaters, it was great! Wouldn't mind rewatching it at some point.
I was kind of hoping it would be this story about this guy that is trapped living forever unable to die. His mind is uploaded and then used for thousands of years. Always the one that goes on risky missions. All his memories are synced and he remembers every death.
It would be this kind of story about how this guy copes with his reality goes through all kinds of emotions starting with excitement then depression and nihilism and then ends where he embraces a form of insanity and absurdism.
Instead it was just a narrative about trump in space.
- That's basically what the book is about
  
  Sick! looks like I got a new book to read.
I wanted to go see it but it’s been a busier month than I was expecting. I should do a better job of keeping my calendar up to date
- It was the same with Morbius for me. Please Sony re-release it 🥺
I enjoyed it greatly, it’s sad to hear that it had a disappointing turn-out.
Snowpiercer in space. Not that great
- If you're going to oversimplify a story that much, remember there are only a couple dozen or so different stories, and they were all written thousands of years ago.
  In this case, Mickey 17 would more accurately be Moses in Space, just like Snowpiecer is Moses on a Train. And since neither are original, neither are that great.
  
  It’s the same director. It’s not the stretch you argue lol
  
  Moses on the polar express
I enjoyed it but definitely glad I didn't pay to see it in the theater. The first half of the movie wasn't very exciting because they already showed all of it in trailers.
