Matt C 456 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Ex MachinaThis Alex Garland, I like a lot. It's a remarkable directorial debut, and it smartly conceals its budget by limiting most of its screentime to one central location. It's thought-provoking, and for once Garland doesn't run out of steam for the film's ending, which is equally chilling and mesmerizing. (Much more so than Garland's 28 Days Later script.) Domnhall Gleeson and Oscar Isaac do good work here, but like everyone said, Alicia Vikander is a revelation as Ava (a complete 180 from her terrible performance in Seventh Son).It's certainly worth seeing, be it theatrically or on VOD.

Sweeping Strings 2,403 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Mad Max : Fury Road - well, this simply took the breath away; rarely is action cinema so visually striking, crazily inventive and largely CGI-free nowadays. Makes the Fast and Furious franchise look like it's ready for the breakers yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamTheater 131 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 For what it's worth: The Fast and The Furious (yep I like these movies) started using more live action filmed chases and stunts from part 5 onward. The difference is quite noticeable to anyone able to spot computer effects. The documentary's on the blu-ray point this out. Some CGI to enhance the action is present of course, but overall I applaud the makers going against the trend in film 5 and 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Mad Max: Fury RoadAfter seeing this, frankly I am astounded that it has garnered almost universal praise by critics. Not because I didn't like it, I did, very much so, but it's not the type of movie you would think is critic-proof. It was bat-shit crazy and awesome.

I do like some of the cast, namely Michelle Rodriguez, the late Paul Walker, Tyrese, and Jordana Brewster. Vin Diesel has the charisma of a block of wood and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson isn't in them enough for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
