Fury Road is pretty excellent as well.

It's the best pure action movie in a long, long time.

This ****ing campaigner of a woman, I swear to god.

Spoiler

Having had one of my lungs reinflated in the not-too-distant past I can vouch for the fact Furiosa took that particular moment like a boss.

Is Star Trek worth the watch? Heard some good things about it but it's never really struck me like Star Wars did

 

[Grave Danger]

Some guy called "Lounge" apparently won some form of primitive game where people drives cars really fast in circles.

That race is no longer representative of the Aussie way of life - where are all the Corollas and Hyundais?

 

[I Dont Care]

Took me 42 years until I started watching Sci-Fi. Enjoyed it...Star Trek and Stargate

They tried skylines once, that didn't go down too well.

Jaw-dropping.

Dr. George, John Seale and editor Margaret Sixel deserve to to be right in it come awards season but you just know they'll probably get snubbed.

Frustrating to hear Miller talk about Justice League last week and how he basically wanted to do a Peter Jackson/LOTR for the local fillum industry.

Then again, there were plenty of dissenting voices here running down that project.

Coz yeah, we need more Australian films playing to empty cinemas...

There is so much Star Trek.

Overall yeah it's great if you're into Sci Fi.

Have a look at the reboot movie released in 2011. If you like Star Wars, it's got the action sequences, pacing and character interaction you'd expect from a Star Wars film, but obviously set in the Star Trek universe. It's everything it should be.

If you like that, grab a season of Next Generation (it's the most palatable series to a newcomer straight off the bat) and have a look. The series is a lot slower and more methodical than the reboot movie though.

Couldn't agree more. The action sequences were just the best of anything I can remember seeing at the cinemas. Consistently all the way through, and given it doesn't have a whole heap of storyline, it's pretty well all action sequences. And they keep you on the edge of your seat for 2 solid hours.

Editing, costume design, everything was perfect. It didn't pretend to be anything more than a badass action movie and it absolutely nailed it.

I loved that movie. Epic.

Mate, I'm in Broken Hill, and after they signed an agreement to film here, they packed up and took off after pre production because there was a drop of rain and the landscape was more baby shit brown than yellow and red with no other tone. They no longer give a **** about revitalising Australia as a big budget production destination. That's a load of crap.

What I don't get is that they landscape barely even resembles the first 2 films anyway, its more a reboot. A reboot no longer set in Australia.

Stargate gets more forgotten as the years pass but SG1 was a brilliant show.

 

[edgie]

I found Fury Road to be a touch... Arty? Pretty good but not a "pure action" movie in my definition.

 

[CrimsonRaven]

Hearthstone is one of the most infuriating games to play at times.

 

[LukeSA]

I had someone trying to convince me mad max 2 and 3 were better than the first last night.

Because they were more post apocalyptic.


And I can sort of appreciate that. But no the original is the best by a long way.

Mad Max 3 was the biggest POS, movie i have ever seen, 1 was awesome, 2... the wheels started to fall off but three, jesus bloody christ that was a bad movie.

 

[Grave Danger]

Not to be confused with the original Flash Gordon

My favourite tv show ever. Have all the box sets.

Is it fitting that i have a hearthstone stress ball.

Started off alright but went to shit when he left bartertown

Yes.

Me too. I love it and hate it in equal measure.

The visual style they went with was pretty in your face, but there were very short and to the point story sequences with very long and brilliant action sequences.

 

[Thrawn]

How ******* pathetic was it when ep 7 was announced and people were like "oh man I hope Thrawn is in it"

Hey!!
