Meh. Found myself bored for a lot of it, to be honest. Have no idea how so many people are talking about it being edge of your seat stuff from start to finish. Opening scene hits you, sure, then there are a few more reasonably tense moments, but I never really got the sense that any one of main characters was actually in danger, even when things were looking dire. I know I'm in the minority, but for me it was a war film where it felt like nothing was actually at stake. Also, it suffers from the standard muddled sound mix that Nolan films tend to suffer from, which for me (and looking around the internet, I'm not the only one) was more annoying than engaging.
One of the more overrated films in recent memory

Fairly average but not a bad movie to watch when you're stuck at home with the flu. Wouldn't bother with it again but I didn't think it was a complete waste of my time.

It

Not a lot of scares film but it's as good a movie I've seen recently about the horrors of bad parenting and how It is able to prey on these children because of the fears inherited from said parenting. Basically Stranger Things done right, too, as an 80s Spielberg homage goes. Movies about kids live and die on the authenticity of the performance and these ones were all really, really great (except maybe the Jewish kid but only because he got nothing to interesting to say/do).

Would be down for the adult sequel right now. 2 years? **** this shit.
I reckon we'll need that 2 years to recover from the first one!!

(but yes I agree- gap should be no more than 1 year)

I cannot remember Flatliners. Did not see it, ever.

What's it about..? Other than people flatlining..
Med students deliberately die for a short period of time and experience typical 'white light' type of scenarios until things get darker and dimensions cross.

Baby Driver is Drives ugly ass red headed step child.
Opening scene

Compared to BD which is 90+ mins of bedlam and tension.


DRIVE had a bit of a " smirk " about it IMO , don't get me wrong i liked it but this was a blast.

Train to Busan (2016) - Excellent zombie flick, been meaning to watch this. Got pretty much everything you could want in a zombie movie. Fast paced, lots of great action scenes, good special effects (even though it's not really that gory), likeable protagonists & well plotted. South Korea cinema delivers yet again, 8.5/10
