    So I guess I trusted the right man for this…

    Exactly the thing what the original did wrong, this film does exactly right. It’s very clear what’s it about and what the goal is. 

    The plot twists of this film just makes it like a horror not gonna lie.

    Not a big fan of this film if I’m really honest. I do see the appeal and appreciate the early 1980s filmmaking. The worldbuilding is quite cool and Harrison Ford did a good job. Maybe I’m just overwatchting the futuristic genre of scifi and apocalyptic themes this spring break, which can effect certain enjoyment elements in me. I don’t mind vagueness or more focus on ideas instead of plot, but it went too far in the vagueness. The worldbuilding blend…

    To be honest, not for me. But oh wow it’s so well made.

    Best picture
    Really beautiful and surprisingly accessible for a lot people. Which I didn’t expect beforehand. Backed up by high level filmmaking, it succeeds in something special.

    Mark Ruffalo (supporting actor)
    Wow our Mark still got it in him. Every scene he knows how to shine, even when the lead is in the picture.

    Emma Stone (leading actress)
    Really nice leading performance. She knew exactly…

    Not one of my favorite things I have seen this year. It was so long and not necessarily with a good reason. There’s like no reason why this wasn’t a miniseries, but maybe that’s just me. DiCaprio and De Niro totally carried it with the outstanding directing of Martin Scorsese. Sometimes I even closed my eyes (again the runtime…) and I could hear the film. If that makes sense. Just the sound, score, easy to follow story and the emotions of the performances did deliver. Not sure if calling it a podcast is a positive or not, but here I am.
