So basically a twist on Spielberg's A. I.

I love that poster.

Had always wanted to see this with SkyNet. Looks interesting. A bit like a Blomkamp movie.

Yeah the poster is stunning, honestly it reminds me of some Ralph McQuarrie art - it is very Star Wars.

Honestly I thought it was a Blomkamp movie too until the Rogue One thing popped up.

Wow an original science fiction film. I’m happily shocked this got made. I hadn’t realised Kiri Hart had left Lucasfilm.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I'm glad Gareth is getting another crack. I think everyone believes Gilroy saved Rogue One, so now we'll see how he does left to his own.

 

[JAWS]

Looks good to me.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Very derivative. It looks like a hybrid of other people's work, but it might be entertaining.

 

[The Entity]

Well, I'm interested!

 

[wormlander]

This could turn out to be fun

Literally almost every review says it’s the best Terminator movie since T2 and it feels and looks like a Cameron 1980’s movie had he been given 80-100 million in the 80’s.

Movie looks like it cost 300 million.

Definitely going to see this in Imax.

Like why wouldn’t I.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Excellent. I had hopes for this one. I'd like Gareth to have a comeback. He got beat up pretty bad.

It sucked lol

Super boring 1st and 2nd act although decent 3d act.

So… Rogue One then?

 

[jye4ever]

The A.I was not interesting at all.

Definitely going to see this in Imax.

It sucked lol

A tragedy in two acts.

 

[xipotec]

Im seeing it

I liked it. It has its problems no doubt, agree it’s highly derivative and has too many kitchen sink ideas. Its like a cross between AI, T2 and District 9. Too many characters as well. I never knew which bad guy to hiss at. But. There are tons of really cool ideas. Many of the designs of the AI and ships are terrific. It feels like a heavily James Cameron inspired film. Like RO, the visuals and scale is impressive. And I really liked the three leads. They are all great. Turning into a big fan of John David Washington. He’s great in everything he’s in.

Sad to hear this sucks. Didn't pull many in either.

But 'Exorcist Again' kicked ***.
