Looks like it may be fun, but also ridiculous. Certainly a CG action film.

Giancarlo Esposito

WONDER WHAT TYPE OF ROLE HE IS PLAYING IN THIS ONE

 

[DKehoe]

I really like Simon Stålenhag's work, he's the artist whose book this is adapted from. I've got a bunch of the books for the Tales From The Loop/Things From The Flood RPG that was also adapted from his work but I've yet to play it. I also really enjoyed the Tales From The Loop tv show.



Looks like this film is quite tonally different and a lot more action-packed than the show, which had this melancholy vibe that really stuck with me. But I guess that's to be expected from a $320 million film.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Looks ridiculous, but not in a great way. Just in a shallow way? Dunno. Will watch it cuz sci-fi.

I love that show wished there was a second season. It was very unique and each episode was fantastic. The Robots in this movie look unique and memorable too

Check out the recent show Kaleidoscope if you want to see him do a good job of playing a different role.

Glad you enjoyed it too! Like you say it's got quite a unique feel to it, which perhaps didn't help it find a bigger audience, but really clicked for me. I liked how the anthology aspect allowed it to explore different ideas but the ties between the episodes helped make it feel like it was all taking part in the same community. It's got a fantastic soundtrack too. It's a pity we didn't get another season but I'm glad we got what we did.

When you see the original art you can see things the show took inspiration from

I love the mix of the fantastical and the mundane.

To anyone reading this, if you're looking for a new sci-fi show to watch give it a try.

Could say the same about Chris Pratt.

 

[Robot Carnival]

I was thinking this reminds me of something. went and looked around a little and realized it reminds me of that game Generation Zero. but yeah, I'm down to give this movie a try. looks kinda interesting.

He has such range.. there is Gus Fring, Gus Fring as a Sith, and now Gus Fring as a robot.

Or Do the Right Thing

That's on my watchlist

[Billbofet]

Nope

 

[Trilobit]

The trailer looks too much like a comedy. Stålenhag's books have a very strong undercurrent of melancholia and should be closer to horror than comedy.

 

[SJRB]

Is this a kid's movie? Not even joking, this legit looks like a kids movie.

Make a Gray Man sequel, you fucks!

 

[StueyDuck]

looks decent enough, glad to see MBB doing something that isn't horse shite (although we haven't see this yet so I'm jumping the gun).

I do worry about it being very netflixified... which usually means shit. The rest of the talent is great though GCE, Pratt, Tucci, all good stuff

 

[IntentionalPun]

Could say the same about Chris Pratt.

He’s pretty different in The Terminal List

But yeah other than that….

Millie Bobby Brown!!!!

That's a no question pass for me

 

[IntentionalPun]

Millie Bobby Brown!!!!

That's a no question pass for me

Yeah it should be pretty telling she mostly works on Netflix projects. Outside of big Stranger Things fans not sure she has much appeal.

 

[jason10mm]

I'm starting to think that MBB was hatched from some netflix studio lab, has she been in ANYTHING not on netflix?

My kid is gonna go APESHIT over this, that's for sure.

2 Godzilla movies other than the pre-Strangers Things stuff she did as a kid

Yeah, Netflix is the right place for MBB.

Felt the same once I saw her name attached. I've been really impressed by her lack of range.

The back story for this is that Walt Disney’s animatronics because so advanced that they became sentient and revolted. That should’ve been the movie.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

Completely misses the point, fucking marvel writing.

 

[sharp weiner]

I’m intrigued enough to start watching it.
Don’t know if I will finish it though.
