Gaze into the fist |OT| DREDD 3D

Pretty much came here to post this. Watched it on Sunday evening and the film hammered ALL of my buttons, it must have been fantastic in 3D at the cinema.
It's even so loud that I had to turn down my sound system (a little), and I never do that.
Saw this last night and loved it. Not really surprised it didn't make money though.
Hopefully their will be sequel (ala-Ridick) somewhere down the road. For now I will just look forward to Karl Urban's new TV show.

I was pretty bummed to find out that it was shot in 3D. It would have been nice to have seen it in the theaters.

This was a surprisingly good movie! I really enjoy Alex Garland-scripted movies. It was also interesting that there is no protagonist progression at all (and none needed), just a straight action story. Great world building. I liked that they never had Urban take his helmet off (I always think he's Keith Urban when I hear his name). I'm down for a sequel.

The protagonist progression was all centered around Anderson. Dredd was like a conduit in this movie as the model Judge, and it worked perfectly. But yeah, the movie seemed essentially about her being tested as a Judge, and was pretty much the sole focus of character progression. I agree, the world building was top notch. I'm left in awe at the scene and feel that world set.

I only picked this film up on BD about six weeks ago, but I think it's brilliant. They got the tone and the style absolutely spot-on. Urban was perfectly cast, the action was excellent and Lena Headley was brilliantly menacing as the vicious and twisted antagonist. And the soundtrack; oh my God the soundtrack. I just got it on CD last week and I can't stop listening to it. It's awesome driving music too; I love to turn it up loud so the bass makes the inside of the car vibrate.
Fucking love this film. I doubt we'll see another, but if there was I would definitely go and see it in the cinema.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
Dredd is an instant classic. It's a modern 80's action movie. It's the Robocop we deserve, but will never get.

I finished watching it last night for a second time. The *only* bit I don't like is when the

But yeah, love the film so much. I like the bit at the end when he
. He's such an awesome, uncompromising character and I'm so glad they didn't try to give him any character development.
bent Judge has Dredd injured and defenceless in the Slo-Mo lab, and rather than shoot him he does the really tiresome talking "What? You, the famous Judge Dredd is going to beg?" routine. It was really needless and out of place I thought, and the scene would have worked better had Anderson arrived a little sooner

This is one of those overlooked gems and a movie that can become a classic in the future.
I wish I could go back in time and watch this movie again in 3D at the cinema. It was absolutely phenomenal to see it in all its glory.

I missed it sadly, and I was really bummed.
But by all accounts, Oculus Rift VR Cinema app provides awesome experience for movie watching. Now I only have to wait 1400p/1600p/4k version to come out. : )

This is one of the best action films I have ever seen. It's so dense and compact. Dredd is a complete bad ass, and I have a legit crush on Rookie.
