Plenty to like but not to feel
Overall a satisfactory experience for animation enthusiast like myself, with some imaginative action and storytelling. But with no background story and no real character to know or love, it's doesn't really hit you emotionally.Lamb

Bizarre and modest at the same time
I think I'd call it horror, which is uncanny, bizarre and disturbing but at the same time very plain, pure and subtle and without ever becoming cheap. And I finally liked Noomi Rappace, who looks and acts fantastic here.Zombie Lake
Small town is terrorized by zombies in a lake, eating mostly nude females

Be ready for the worst and have a good time
Full of technical errors, non-existent effects, dodgy acting, among many other problems. Successful as campy nonsense though, with a plenty of unnecessary nudity. And that one zombie who starts to feel empathy is not something you see everyday.Joker
How Joker, you know - Batman's nemesis, came to be

Exactly what Joker's origin story deserves
It's done right. You can feel the man sliding off, the transformation is plausible and understandable, it's not simplistic right and wrong, and I sympathized with him. The movie also features beautifully lit scenery and of course world class acting.Alien
On their way back to earth, a spaceship investigates a distresscall from a planet

Redefining
I am going to rate it sky high for redefining (space)horror, design and science fiction in general. It is iconic, but I have to admit anno 2021 it is actually, finally, starting showing signs of aging. My son wasn't too impressed nor terrified. Some of that is a legacy from our memories.Demonic
Woman is asked to communicate with her comatose mother in a 'simulation', but awakens demonic evil in doing so

Fresh, but should have been better
It's a nifty combination of tech, occult and horror and I liked it. It's just unfortunate that it failed to really make an impression or become really scary. Like the story required some more twists and layers, and should have 'aged' more before making the movie.Velvett Buzzsaw

Too sterile to make me care
I guess this inside look into the world of art management and competition for the rich make it worthwhile, but the things going on later are not shocking, strange or thought-provoking enough to really take it to a higher level - They left me as cold as the characters themselves.Cryptozoo
Animation about a zoo housing cryptoid creatures, bad people that want them dead and good people trying ot protect them

Great for it's uniqeness, but utlimately a flawed trip
I wanted to like this more, with it's bold ideas, pleasantly strange story and willful drawings. I can see how people describe it as beautiful, but I could also make the case that it can look pretty crude an amateuristic at times. Everyone also seems a bit high and slow, making me sleepy eyed.Forbidden World
Astronout lands on a base where an alien experiment get out of hand

Didn't turn out to be a classic
I watched this old nugget for some nostalgic quirks and perhaps hidden gems, but I am not sure I found them. Sure it has some remarkable nonsense and campy effects, but it's mostly just a bit crappy.Dune (2021)
Clans fight for control of planet Arrakis and it's resources, both with other clans and with the native inhabitans

What the word 'epic' was meant for
Wow, this was quite an epic experience on all accounts. Incredible spaceship designs, compelling imagery, great music and overall an enticing story. Very very tasteful. On the downside, the sterile environments and characters meant it had only a limited emotional impact and didn't really stick.Movies found: 805 | max movies per page: 10 | Showing: 91 - 100
