Watched it. Leave the world behind is at times reminiscent of M Night Shyamalan ’s THE HAPPENING. Strange animal behavior along with freakish objects that defy reason and physics creates a bizarre backdrop to this thriller. What makes this movie entertaining is the powerful cinematography and the actors ( Kevin bacon who plays a small supporting role has been terribly missed in movies – more Bacon!, especially when he is cast up against Hawke). The movie’s run time seems a tad long and the story slowly becomes a missed opportunity when the final plot is revealed. The movie builds with tension and then crashes by providing “last minute “ information that seems to not make much sense given the build. |
Sounds like a movie worth checking out In fact we WILL check this one out |
I got so excited by the trailer that I read the book. The movie was good, but I wish they'd kept slightly more of the mystery. Really speaks volumes about the current times that people love this kind of movies now. |
Its not that people love these kinds of movies its that hollywood loves to produce them. |
I love doom porn whether it be a movie, book, current events or the best one of all the last chapter of the new testament. I am holding out hope that Giant Meteor® will hit before I die of cancer or some other lame ass way to go. |
Well just ended at 209;00 and was not done yet so I would wait till there is a full movie. I was getting right into too. Damn!!! |
Cant in all honesty, call Mahershala Ali a diversity casting. Like Morgan Freeman or Denzel Washington. These guys can carry a film through to a success without basing anything off their race or color status. But the "renters are White; the owners are Black" is very specific and predicates the usual wokery. |
I think that is often a problem, but not here. It's also a major plot point in the book. |
I found that the casino ads placed in the video almolst should have been part of the actual movie. They were so jarring and other-worldly that it kinda worked. |
M Night Shyamalan missed a trick here This feels like an M Night Shyamalan movie but is better than his (most) recent offering(s) at least Our favorite M Night Shyamalan is 'Never Let Me Go' with that really sad brought tears to our eyes ending so we are leaving that movie untouched in any criticism of M Night Shyamalan Anyway, this was good, some unexpected happenings and top-notch performances, and nice to see Julia Roberts back on the big screen and Kevin Bacon in a good movie (for a change) |
Ethan Hawke hasn't been in a good movie since Gattaca (1997) |
Guest-2872, thanks for that comment. Went and downloaded Never Let Me Go. Cried my eyeballs out. I think I will complete soon... I feel much better about it now. |
This got that 'predictive programming' 'Contagion' feel to it A must watch if you want a lk into the future Brought to you by the very people who know where the future is at |
Dunno But this movie gets you thinking :_: |What we called 'society' would collapse within 24 hours if folks couldn't access 'social media' on their 'smartphones' Civilization is a veneer - and a very thin one at that |
'Contagion' had the whole 'covid' script in there Like with Star Trek and their 'phazers' (cellphones) and 2001: A Space Odyssey with 'ATMs', video-calling, AI (Artificial Intelligence)... They always tell you what coming down the railroad track via movies |
Why would they tell you that if it's some grand conspiracy? Contagion came out in 2011. It's not strange at all that movies about infectious diseases have been made somewhere in the ENTIRETY OF FILM HISTORY before Covid. It would be weirder if there hadn't been any movies like that. 2001 didn't invent AI. |
We only vaguely recognized her are first , thought is might be Angelina Jolie so had to lk her up Julia has still got her acting chops, mind you |
Are the Obamas making $dollas$ out of this What with being executive producers 'n' all |
Dunno if it was just our copy but there is a 'glitch in the matrix' at 57:58 |
Yep, eyes popped out our head when we saw that right near the beginning So just had to keep watching no matter what |
Some folks are sayin' that 'Michelle' is a dude and and Barack's real name is Barry Sotero |
it will be on Netflix December 8th which means there will be a HD quality version. Only 2 weeks, wait for it. |
I don't want to pay Netflix money |
man, finally a good comment with meaningful information! i agree. |
It would be a lot better if they put out the HD quality version before the CAM Dunno why they don't do that |
