I'll start
ITT: movies with cool concepts and kino atmospheres that still found a way to totally suck
It didn't totally suck, the first hour was fantastic
Nah Logan's Run is good, the ending is just garbage.
Logan's Run is absolute kino of the highest order until Peter Ustinov shows up. Only then does it begin to suck.
First hour
>nice, imaginative sets
>cool concept
>likable protagonist with a redemption arc
>beautiful women
>exciting story and action
>really trippy towards the end with that robot guy
Second hour
>"wow, look at this really old guy!"
>"wow, look at this world outside our biodome!"
>nothing happens
>show other people old guy
>happy ending
I thought the premise started off so neat but what the fuck happened?
Moonrise Kingdom for me
main kid could not act for shit
Charlize Theron Aeon Flux
>imaginative sets
Looked like shopping malls to me.
I believe it was filmed in a business center that was considered very modern at the time. I think it looks great
Snow piercer
Highlander
also just a bunch of generic cringe that doesn't even warrant description
>Happy ending
And a really stupid happy ending, like how are these people who have been babied by an AI their entire lives going to survive the winter? Logan just doomed them all
This movie unironically has one of the best, most well-developed settings in a science-fiction movie that manages to be awe-inspiring, fantastic, and even thought-provoking, that's still in a mostly hard sci-fi setting, showing that there's probably lots of really cool, amazing stuff out there in our universe that's waiting to be discovered if we ever venture out into the stars. It also showed a glimpse into a possible future with its technology, with wonderfully designed, plausible and likely able to be engineered in real life (except for the mech suits I guess). Even its starship is theoretically possible. And all of it is wasted on a shitty, dime-a-dozen, "white dude goes native," plot that was simply tired as all shit.
I wouldn't say this movie sucked but I did found it boring and the final third or so weirdly nonsensical. I appreciate it more for its beautiful aesthetics and contributions to sci-fi, particularly with the cyberpunk genre. Sequel is much better.
Fucking shit, I swear I posted the damn picture.
>Peter Ustinov
Truer words have never been spoken. Amen
But that scene is great, it's after they reach the outside that it begins to suck
No, it actually was a mall. Dallas Southroads Mall in fact.
the implication that all of the people who escaped failed and got captured in such a depressing way was mildly kino but the scene itself was total cringe
We got to see Jenny Agutter naked for a few seconds so it was worth it. Apparently the scene was originally much longer where she and Logan pose nude as the robot guy makes a sculpture, with long takes of her naked body. However the footage was cut and lost
virtuosity
Tragic
Highlander
The movie has not aged well
She's fully nude for a lot longer and like 5 years younger in "Walkabout"
Nothing Happens: The Movie
Stick to marvelshit.
IT WAS FILMED IN A DALLAS SHOPPING MALL (WHICH WAS FUCKING FUTURISTIC AT THE TIME)
Blade Runner is a movie marveldrones put in their top 10 lists to appear intellectual.
Is that what you tell yourself in order not to feel ashamed of your shit taste?
