I watched "Jupiter Ascending" last night. It's a "tentpole movie."
IOW, something the Wachowski's did to get funding for projects they
really want to do. It's a very basic story, sorta a takeoff on
Cinderella (if you get the homage). Lots of temporary employment for CG
artists.

Jupiter Ascending got bad reviews, and I found it good enough to watch
two times already. All kinds of production values and new tech concepts.
It Follows is a rude slap in the face comparatively. Turns out it is
simply a "see girls in underwear running" flick.....AND THAT'S IT.
It's got about twenty things that piss ya off: characters going into
dark places alone, being too dumb to find practical help, and
endlessly starting the fucking movie over and over again with the same
exact scenario: waiting for IT, and then running.
Just trying to save ya getting emotionally ripped off.
Worse part of the film is that IT DOES DELIVER with a lot of good
qualities....gets ya expecting a LOGICAL and REASONABLE film, cuz, you
know, good money and minds were behind this film.
But shit.

I'll have to see for myself. With horror and science fiction people
often bring pre-concieved expectations. The film is distributed by
Weinstein so might even have extras and an alternate ending.
Similarly now that "Jupiter Ascending" is at RB I'll be checking it
out for myself.

Not worth the Redbox rental price. Reason: the ending

Especially if you paid the prices I'm seeing to watch it online.
Wait for Netflix for these titles or at least Redbox. Or did you
inherit an eyepatch?

WHAT A FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT MOVIE. I won't spoil it here, but
you should read ONLY THE BAD REVIEWS of this
GOTCHA-TO-BUY-ME-YOU-SUCKER "BAIT AND FUCKING SWITCH" ABUSE
UPON THE PUBLIC.
I cannot believe those Rotten Tomatoes ratings.... The positive
reviews are all
bullshit-for-sure;-written-probably-by-paid-for-shills who must
have all bought into this HEIST of the public mindset. All the
RT reviewers should have their checking accounts audited for a
major influx of payola......holy shit this film pissed me off.
Piss.
Shit.
Fuck fuck fucking fuck fuck..........fuck.
( Heh......Just trying to help fill in the recently obvious
film-review vacuum.)
