The dogs, the slapstick and the bird, all classic kids movie (Pixar, even) fare.ninj4junpei said:
I think Pixar is nowhere near abandoning the kids movie. They're just finding ways to weave in more and more mature plots and themes while balancing them against humor and other elements that appeal to kids. The Incredibles was the last movie to strike as perfect a balance, I think. (And like Up, it's also PG, rather than G.)

Eh. I wouldn't say Star Trek sucked balls, but it was definitely decent. I think it has a fair chance of being looked upon more negatively in the future, though.Dan said:
A movie shouldn't be rated based on character development, that's what TV shows are for. A movie should just be about the story and characters.Dan said:
They've been reduced to consulting producers on Fringe, and I'd point out that the episodes they wrote sucked and it's gotten better as they've had less input.critch said:
Really? Really?Dax01 said:
Besides, Star Trek was supposed to be about seeing those characters develop into being the great bridge crew. Instead it was gifted to them in a whole host of contrived scenarios.

There isn't anything wrong with character development in movies, but movies only last for so long.
Kirk and Spock at odds with each other at the beginning then having respect for each other at the end of the movie is character development.

I estimate Transformers 2 will make over a hundred bazillion bejesus dollars by weekends end.

Thankfully it opens on a Wednesday, otherwise I'd be worried about some of those Dark Knight numbers.HomerSimpson-Man said:

Terminator lost a lot of money. It just isn't the same without Arnold

Heh, critics didn't lean well to the first Transformers as is, so I already imaged a bigger movie with even more mayhem, destruction a mile a minute Micheal Bay mastery of epic explosions of the first would be received even worse.
I can't wait!
My reviews on all the films out at the mo that I've seen.
Star Trek - 5/5
Drag me to Hell - 3/5
Transformers RotF - 3/5 (I'm a sucker for the bots)
Terminator Salvation - 3/5
Red Cliff - 4/5 (so so close to a 5)
Hangover - 4/5
Star Trek is still my film of the year, with Red Cliff chasing at it's heels. I must say, I thought Hangover was surprisingly good as well. Brilliant in fact.

Hell naw. Look at how much money those movies pulled in though. Nemo went up against some heavy weights.

Damn Terminator is doing horrible. I had assumed that while there was some problems with the movies(script, characters, etc.) it had gotten to at least $200 million

Eh, I wouldn't be so sure. Sure, the action is better than any ST movie to date... but the antagonist, the plot, the whole (and stupid) Spock/Uhura thing, might drag it down down the road.Blader5489 said:

What about internationally?

It's not to say that Up will lose 1600 theatres total on that weekend - you're right that 2D showings will open up in most instances, probably only dropping 500 or so. But the issue is that those 3D theatres, despite being about 40% of the theatres, are pulling in roughly 60% of the gross. That means that its drawing power will be diminished not just by the net loss in theatres, but by the potential amount to be found therein.
The film won't drop by 50%, but the days of 30% drops will be over once Ice Age comes on the scene. Should hold fine for Transformers this weekend, probably down 35% or so.

Your 3D screen count is low I think. There's around 2300 3D capable theaters I last heard a few months ago. Up probably won't loose all of its 3D theaters though it will loose most of them. My local theater was still showing Coraline 3D whilst Jonas Brothers and possibly Monsters vs Aliens came out knocking it out of a lot of 3D theathers.
