Visually it's a fucking masterpiece. Especially considering it was kickstarted.
However.
Can someone explain the "plot"?
I saw some space feminists helping release other women's "souls" trapped in machines, the uprising (?) of naked AI females with nice boobs vs evil men and patriarchy or something and the film also seems to suggest that humanity relies too much on technology (the old dude with his heart, the horny hunter dude).
I think the creators should have spent some time on explaining the setting.
I have no idea what rating I 'd give it, but I'll keep it in my collection.
A really great watch, and was good to see Kate's breasts again (long time since Titanic), but a great performance all round, and gritty story.
Fallen (1998) - 5.9/10
Really love Denzel, but I felt that this was not his comfort zone. Weird story and premise, but my old buddy John Goodman makes up for most of that 5.9 score, as does Donald Sutherland, so its worth a watch.
Kiss Of Death - Crime Thriller (1995): 8/10
David Caruso, Helen Hunt, Samuel Jackson, Nicholas Cage, Ving Rhames, Michael Rapaport

There's quite a few similarities between the two funnily enough: long distance space flight, lonely guy needing companionship, "female" companionship turning out to hate him but loving him in the end after he sacrifices himself.
AI Rising had a bigger impact on me, though. Passengers is your typical Hollywood fluff while AI Rising is a bit darker and better at displaying human emotions.
^Passengers has the highly fuckable and nutty Jennifer Lawrence though^, so between the two, I enjoyed Passengers more
Passengers does a lot of it better in scale - the huge ship being empty - but the ending felt off. They could have done things a bit better than "we miraculously let huge trees grow through steel plated deck without sunlight because that's a thing right?" They went for the typical Hollywood "wow" and ended up falling flat on its face because they overdid it.
A much better ending would have been the crew finding their old bodies, embraced in death, with a log that details how they saved the lives of everyone on board, ending on a shot of the new planet having a statue commemorating them.
EDIT: and I only now just realized why the "critics" panned the movie so much: because apparently, what he did was completely and utterly unforgivable and Aurora should never have forgiven him so they hated the positive ending. Ah bless the SJW critics ...
Dark Knight - 9/10 - I forgot how great this movie was. It's big and awesome, but at the same time it's simple. I don't know how to explain it. Ledger's joker puts every other Joker to shame, it's a sad thing he died.
Why can't we compare them if they're playing the same character, albeit in a different way? Can I compare Nicholson's Joker to Ledger? Ledger had the perfect mix of crazy, scary and mysterious.
Phoenix joker was joker. What we see in the end is just the end of his journey of transformation. He was always the same character. He didn't evolve past half the movie. The moment he snapped he became the joker.
Everything after that was joker. His joker. Todd's joker.
The shit that happens in the asylum, that's just more of joker. Not oh we haven't seen his joker yet. We have. If you feel like you haven't, then to you the character didn't evolve until the last 5 minutes of the movie which makes it a bad bad bad movie.
I'm interested in more of letos joker. The bits and pieces of that shit film do strike a serious tone that could provide a great joker within that films universe. Shame we will never see it, but for what is there within context of imagination - the character of joker is interesting.
Avanpost/Blackout - 4/10
They definitely had the money to make this movie. Shame the script was crap, a lot of scenes didn't really had good justification, like a bunch of cool stuff that a teenager would think of cobbled together.
And here I was going to catch up on some russian scifi. This discouraged me :/
Thinner - 7/10
Wow a good S. King horror. Nice little, competent story, a rare example of this with King's adaptations.
Sometime they come back - 4.5/10
Well, a standard S. King's adaptation. Zzzzz.

What We Do in the Shadows (2014): 9/10
Fun Fun Fun!! Hilarious vampire satire movie! Well written, acted, and told...throw in some werewolves, zonbies, and witches and u got it all! Only regret it took me 6 years to discover this gem
Alien Outpost (2014) : 7.5/10
Another above average movie! excellent acting and loved the story with the 'heavy' aliens..
Accidental Love (2015): 8/10
Hilarious! Tracy Morgan was funny!! Some heavy hitters in here: Beil, Jake Gyllenhaal, Bill Hader..
Mad Dog & Glory (1993): 9/10, can't believe I'd not heard of and or seen this movie. Fairly serious vibe some dark comedy, good story, characters and great acting from Robert De Niro, Bill Murray (unexpected role for him), Uma Thurman and a few other famous faces.
If u want a clear answer from me , then, yeah, I don't think Ledger's Joker is THE best Joker of all time.No. Not after Phoenix's performance and they way it was portrayed.
Splendid movie, with James McAvoy doing a superb job of portraying all those different characters. Creepy, with a little cameo at the end by someone, with reference to another movie character
