  Oh, I thought it released already since it „appeared” on my media center last week in a very good quality.

  Tap for spoiler

  Pretty good movie with a botched ending. As a person in chronic pain I particularly liked how Pattison played that gentle, accepting attitude you get toward repeated trauma. Sucks the movie switched into Hollywood mode for the last part, it would be one of my all time favourites otherwise.

    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 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

    Here’s a good short story that is kind of similar: qntm.org/mmacevedo

  I honestly found this movie so boring that I went for a walk around the mall for a bit, half way through. The mall was mostly closed, so if two of my friends weren’t still watching the film I would have gone home.

    Movie was filmed in 2022, written before that, before he even confirmed he was running again. Of course people who reach this hard rarely look for facts, but rather, what their preconceived notions confirm to them.

      I mean watch the film and tell me that Mark Ruffalo’s character isn’t meant to be Trump, his followers aren’t meant to be MAGA cultists, and the explicit plot point of him losing two presidential elections isn’t a reference to him losing to the Dems a second time.

      So what if it was written before trump announced he was rerunning, most people could see where the tide was turning, and the movie pulls no punches in it’s satire of him.

  Snowpiercer in space. Not that great

    If you’re going to oversimplify a story that much, remember there are only a dozen of 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.

  I enjoyed it greatly, it’s sad to hear that it had a disappointing turn-out.

  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.
