Damn, I just got shown up by an ad bot. I forgot to mention that it was based on a screenplay by Cormac McCarthy, known for No Country for Old Men, and The Road. And another film/novel coming out this year called Child of God.

Patient_Leech
Here we go then, not really my cup of tea, but a pretty cool trailer none-the-less. Worth the look for the pretty ladies, though, for sure...

The counselor, the Couseioularrr... ! ....

What's it about, what's going on? All I know is that the Director of Alien is making it and Brad Pitt---who no longer has to cut hair or shave his goatee for his films---is in it.

P.S. Brad Pitt is Jesus, look at his hair and beard.

BruceSkywalker
this doesn't look bad at all .. definitely might see

I'll probably watch it cos of the director and writer, but first impression it's one of those flicks that looks a lot better in the preview.

This will be a rental for me. After Prometheus, I can't say I have 100% faith in Scott, and there's something about this trailer that gives off that Paranoia vibe, that it's going to be a lame movie with pretty visuals. The fact that the main draw of the trailer is faux-sapphic T&A also is not a good sign IMO.

Major_Lexington
This has some potential. I may rent this one also.

Looks like a rather strange sequel to prometheus shifty

Anyone seen this yet? I was supposed to see it the other night but ended up going to Bad Grandpa instead.

I've heard mixed reviews mostly negative. Willing to give it a chance. Fassbender is the man right now.

I've noticed it's been getting mostly poor reviews, too. Even though the cast is amazing, I probably won't spend money on this in the theater, not because of the negative reviews, but because it just doesn't really look like my cup of tea. I know I'll enjoy it more if I don't spend $11+ on it. That being said, Screenrant gave it a good review, comparing Cormac McCarthy's wordiness to the likes of Quentin Tarantino. Made it sound quite interesting, being a sort of "stylized" and "hyper-real" meditation on greed and power (kind of the same way Prometheus was a dark, stylized meditation on the origin and meaning of life)...

Screenrant Review: 3.5/5 stars

Stealth Moose
Haven't seen it yet, but the general vibe is that it's not that good. Or at least, it has some serious pitfalls. I'm disappointed as I was looking forward to seeing it, but now I may just wait until Redbox has it available.

Patient_Leech
Saw this tonight for cheap.

I actually thought it was okay. Slow moving, yes, but it delivers on some existential levels. That's kind of how Ridley Scott is operating now in his older age, which is probably throwing people off. But yeah, I thought it was actually pretty good. Extremely sad, though. It's yet again about death, like Prometheus. Ridley clearly has the issue on his mind...

Stealth Moose
His brother, no doubt.

Odd you mention him, considering I was watching Man On Fire earlier today.

The problem with Prometheus is that it it was a crappy copy of Alien's plot trying to be 2001: A Space Odyssey.
