I only wish I could give you more than one star for this comment

That’s amazing re: those canyons, I’d totally assumed they were fake.

This is why the American film industry ended up in Southern California, after starting out on the East Coast...

Fellowship and parts of Two Towers looked very real to me (though there were shots where you could tell they’d added some mountains or a decaying fortress for Middle-earth ambience).

Sets can always be deconstructed and transported. Or they were thoroughly scanned and can be reused as digital assets.

Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy filmed in New Zealand and is an iconic piece of cinema.

Yes, this. LOTR is quintessentially English. The fact that the movies made great use of New Zealand’s landscape (and surprising movie-making talent) doesn’t change this. It was always odd that New Zealand and not England (or the broader UK) came to be so closely associated with Middle Earth.

Counterpoint: the Lord of the Rings stories were always set in a fictionalised Europe, with themes around Nordic myths, and the Shire being explicitly modelled by Tolkien after Berkshire and Oxfordshire in South-East England. The New Zealand connection only came about because Peter Jackson is a Kiwi and insisted on…

Hbo max already has the remastered STAS. However i hope the blu ray fixed some major goofs seen on streaming.

This show was my introduction to a lot of other DC characters, like The Flash, Dr. Fate, and Green Lantern. Underrated show IMO.

Good. Hopefully they’ll do what Netflix did with the upscaled TNG eps and upload this version to HBO Max.

Agree about Waller. I haven’t particularly liked her portrayal in either film. Like you said, she’s supposed to be a smart monster. A sentient, alien kaiju effing up South America is clearly going to be an issue for the U.S. Especially if that thing blabbed about who funded its imprisonment and torture. That’s…

I turned it off after the first half-hour and revisited it hours later and I realized it's just Slither with superheroes without the charm and with more pointless jokes.

My favorite part was watching it on an IMAX screen with like five other people in the entire auditorium.

I really did not get this movie at all. I thought it was rather bland and the humor fell extremely flat outside of a couple exchanges between Elba and Cena’s characters (a solid 50% already used in the trailers) and one throwaway line from one of the government workers 10 min before the end.

Do you know how to read a dictionary?

I was disappointed they didn’t gender swap the Yorick character for the show.

That’s an archaic usage and in the modern vernacular, it’s used correctly.

This bit of pedantry has never added anything to any conversation ever.

Well this show seems to be produced in a manner that allows it to stand out from every other post-apocalyptic narrative produced for streaming television and film over the last 10 years. /s
