TV/Movies Megathread

Tron: Ares

A departure from the previous two, specially TTron Legacy almost ignored, yet with some Tron fan-service. It targets people who have not seen the previous two says the script writer. I believe him. 

Disney wants a new franchise to milk it, a sequel more than alluded in the post-credits.

Technically, this is top-notch, CGI does not bother me for a movie such as Tron. However, given there is much more real world than grid this time, it may be more visible. Plenty of night shots though to compensate.

Did Jared Leto killed another cult movie? 

So nothing special, hence the hyping on chat shows all over the place?

Probably, yes. It's lukewarm or average for me. Not a disaster of epic proportions such as Episode I but nothing special.

Did not watch it in 3D, however. Might give it another shot.

I'm about to find out first-hand.  As a long-time fan of the original (which I just re-watched last weekend), I will report back.

Stam Fine's latest video is about the 1998 Lost in Space movie. I had forgotten that Jared Harris is in that one.



And here he is attending the premiere in LA. Lovely 90s look, cigarette and all.

I really don't get who Mr Terrific is or why the Green Lantern is weird. Or the elemental guy or other guys in prison. Or a lot. This messes with my head.

I've seen with my nephew.
8 years old.

Didn't really think about the plot.  He liked it.  I didn't think about anything else for a while, I was pleased at the time.

It's exactly as you said, it's like most Marvels.  Don't overthink it.  I'm not really familiar with DC universe anyway, outside of the main characters, Batman, Aquaman, Superman, Wonderwoman.

'The Goodfather II' - seen for the first time, Al Pacino rules, no meaningful artistic comments from me.

Is the third one worth a viewing?

Yes, because it's the last one in the series and it brings closure to the series, but it's not as good as the other 2.

There is apparently a final cut of the movie, as seen by Coppola, recently released.  I have not read the reviews.
