Fnfalman Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I can’t decide if I’d go to the theater for the full experience or just watch it off my iPhone on HBOMax. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwalchmai Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 That looks good. The Lynch version has grown on me over the years, like a fungus, but this may be closer to the book. Whether it can get me into a theater is a good question... Thanks for the heads up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batesmotel Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I plan on seeing it in the theater. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fnfalman Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 I never read the book and don’t care enough to read it now. I thought the first version wasn’t bad. This version also looks good. Too bad they couldn’t work Captain Picard in this version as he was in the other version too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwalchmai Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Overall I thought Lynch's casting was very good. Francesca Annis was just about perfect as Jessica, I thought. Picard as Halleck was OK. I kept expecting the Emperor to say something like "Come on, Loudons. Good is GOOD!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insert puke smilies. Several. Making a mistake in one movie does not justify a repeat. I picture Bud Spence from the Trinity Spaghetti westerns. After he's healed from taking 100 lashes with a cat o'nine, in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.Cicero Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I'm going to see it at the IMAX. I read the book in high school. I saw the first movie and thought it was not horrible for what it was, but not great, either. (I recognized there was no way to put that book into one two-hour movie). At least this one is only attempting to tell the first half of the story. I just want to make sure they include my favorite quote from the book...

holyjohnson Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 i think i will make the trip to the Theater for it, i think i would feel like i missed it on the big screen if i don`t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostinTexas Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Didn't like the book. Hated the original. Some of you really analyzed it closely, but you may have found a way to like it. I may see this one, but if only half baked probably not. I hate movies without an ending. I certainly won't pay to see it in any sort of theater.

jmohme Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I'll go see it at the theater. I don't watch anything on my phone and don't understand why anyone would. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwalchmai Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Well, the director says it's a political statement about climate change and colonialism and such bullshit, so I won't be buying a ticket. **** him and his movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
