I’ll go first. For me, it’s Across The Spider-Verse. The excellent score and soundtrack is just a bonus.
Edge of tomorrow. Really hoping for a sequel including Emily Blunt.
Isn’t it too late for a sequel?
Why? Top gun got a sequel after nearly forty years.
Definitely Spiderverse. It was almost too fast moving at times, but fantastic story telling and, of course, art design.
Same, Spiderverse was incredible
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I just shared it with my kids. But we’re godly seeing across the spiderverse tonight, so that might change.
This is my all-time favorite. One of my favorite memories of this movie was — when I showed it to a way less idealistic friend of mine, he felt so sad when the last of the memories is being removed. I did not expect him to do that let alone like the movie.
We had our 19 year old nephew watch that this last weekend, a beautiful masterpiece still.
Eternal Sunshine never fails to tear me up. Great movie.
Across the Spidervetse was incredible
Ikr?!
This tread has been a moment of personal discovery. In trying to imagine what movie I’ve seen this month I realized I haven’t seen a movie yet this year - unless you count standup specials which live in the movie section of Plex. I’m like 80% sure the last movie I watched was the Bob’s Burgers Movie. What happened to me?!
Asteroid City was surprisingly good. Eccentric, but in the best way.
Very Wes Anderson-y in a good way.
Dune. While there’s no way to perfectly capture the magic of the intricate machinations of (Frank) Herbert’s universe, the movie gets about as close as anyone could, I think. The only thing in its league is Jackson’s LOTR trilogy, and I think Dune is at least as good if not slightly better. Can’t wait for the second (and hopefully third!) one!
I loved the movie, but I feel like they didn’t include enough Dr. Yueh. I also feel like they could have ended the movie a few scenes earlier.
Extraction 2, but there wasn’t much competition because I only saw 2 movies this month.
the action is absolutely insane, just like extraction 1. the 20+ minute “one take” shot near the beginning had me picking up my jaw from the floor afterwards.
The prison break was definitely the highlight of the movie. Really blown away. The battle in the tower feels like it was made by a different director, it wasn’t nearly as good.
Usually not my cup of tea, I watched an Indian movie, two of them actually: Bahubali and Bahubali 2. Yes, it’s cliché and cheesy but all in a very fun and spectacular way.
It’s basically life-action anime but with more musical and dancing bits.
are there english subs for it? other languages are just noise to me
Not OP but there were eng subs available when I saw it on netflix
You should check out RRR. It dials everything up to 11 but still manages to maintain a certain sincerity that makes it work.
New movie: Across the Spiderverse without a doubt. Gave it a 9/10. I think i like the first more but it’s a beautiful movie.
Old and overall: i rewatched Toy Story 2. It’s a 10/10 from me.
I haven’t watched any movies this month, but I’ve been staring at John Wick 4 in my queue for weeks. Does that count?
Upgrade. I freaking love that movie even for how dark it is.
Hadn’t heard of this before so just watched the trailer, this is going on the watch list immediately, thanks!
Across the Spider-Verse of course (respect the hyphen), however I also just watched Submarine (written and directed by Richard Ayoade) and thought that was really good.
I’ll check out Submarine. Apologies for the hyphen.
Lol don’t worry, the hyphen is meant to be there! It’s Spider-Man, not Spiderman!!!
Do the final two episodes of Star Trek: TNG count? If so, that.
For a series with its ups and downs, they really nailed everything that’s great about Star Trek in the final two episodes with none of the lows. Relevant social commentary, intelligent dialog, an intriguing science fictional mystery, some action, and a superbly dramatic Picard! Not just Picard either. Almost everyone in the cast gets a chance to shine across the three time periods. Brent Spiner especially gets a nod for the subtle changes to old Data’s character.
It’s not a new one, but I rewatched the 1998 film Dark City (IMDB/RT) 2 weeks ago and totally forgot how atmospheric it was. Whilst it takes it self seriously there’s some pretty bizarre moments, I totally cracked up at a scene where one of the ‘strangers’ exclaims “HE CAN TUNE!” which is followed by a shot of a child stranger smiling and chattering their teeth (YouTube clip)
