    Trying to get a group together this weekend to see it on imax. I don't care if its 3D as long as they aren't trying to stick stuff down your eyeballs, but I think Scott is beyond that.

    edit: US release is next week :/

    watched today in 3D AMAZING film, really really well done, sound is amazing, cgi is best i have ever seen and awesome script.

    Also has some of the best 3D usage i have seen in a film, it's subtle and adds to the immersion in places.

    No.

    The entire idea of a classic is that something has been judged over time to be better quality and/or more memorable than others of its kind.

    That guy should stop using words he doesn't understand the meaning of.
    Most movie reviewers are idiots so, ndb. Also, classic movies have characters and stories that age well. (retain their impact despite the passing of decades) So far Scott is 2/2 and I wouldn't best against the third.

    He's referencing Blade Runner and Alien here, which supposedly tie into the same fictional universe.

    So if you consider only his good films, all his films are good?

    Not that I'm expecting Prometheus to be bad, but Ridley Scott has directed no shortage of films that sufferred badly from taking themselves more seriously than they could sustain.

    Oh i'm sorry, I wasn't aware sci-fi was so vastly different to every other genre of film making that every other film should be discounted from the Classic Ratio™ when rating a directors back catalogue.

    Funnily enough, everyone i know who watches a lot of films has said the film is good, but not great. Visually impressive, but flawed and to quote a few "looses it's balls half way in". While the type of people who say "Critics are idiots" watch one film a month and think anything with asplosions is amazing, think it's the best thing since sliced bread. Go figure.

    I'll probably go see it and enjoy it anyway, it's just a shame it's turned out to not be a 'classic'.

    It is different for the audience. Sci-fi, especially future dystopic societies, resonates with an audience. Some imagine the film maker to be prophetic when they watch these movies. As a fan of the genre, I knew exactly what indeterminacy was talking about. We can also have an argument about whether Alien is a horror movie and not a science fiction movie, but let's not and say we did.

    bladerunner is the same as total recall universe (or can be the same, at any rate). It's not the same uni as alien AFAIK.


    anyway just got back from watching it... awesome film, but a bit confusing here and there. Would recommend.
    Hello? Oh, hello! I'm sorry it's a very bad line. No, no no... but that's not possible, she was sealed in to the Seventh Obelisk after the prayer meeting. Well, no, I get that it's important... an Egyptian Goddess loose on the Orient Express. In Space. Give us a mo....

    Just seen it with group of 5 mates- none of us were very impressed. Some great scenes, but not held together very well due to too many plot holes.

    Discussing film over pizzas afterwards and there were sooo many scenes where one of us asked
    • "but why did <so and so> do <whatever>?"
    • "why did <something> happen?"
    • "how did <a> lead to <b>?"
    and none of the rest were able to answer.

    I suppose you could make that argument due to them being based on the same author's works, Phillip K. Dick; the screenplays of which were adapted by different people and movies directed by different people. I've actually never read either the novel or the short story, but they don't necessarily have to be set in the same universe. I think it's just an assumption made unless there's some other concrete connection between the two, like some supposedly link the films Blade Runner and Alien together due to the director. It's a stretch at any rate. It's interesting to note that the co-writers for Alien also collaborated on the screenplay for Total Recall (1990). It's all science fiction to me, baby.

    Watched it, thought it was awesome. My imagination is racing. If your expecting a whole load of answers and your hand to be held like a baby, you'll be disappointed.
