[QUOTE="Man in the Funny Hat, post: 6196193, member: 32740"] Last movie I saw in theater was Rush. I was quite entertained. Just a tad doubtful when I went in but shouldn't have been surprised at that with a Ron Howard production, whose movies have always been quite excellent. It seemed just a bit "by the numbers" at first but about halfway in it started to really click. Even those who are not really racing fans should be able to enjoy it as the story does revolve around the rivalry and clashing personalities as opposed to the spectacle of racing. Picked up the "unrated" bluray of World War Z. Didn't notice a bloody thing different from the theatrical release. I think it needed a more consistent emotional hook to hang itself on. Yes it's all very tragic that billions of people the world over are now savage undead but we aren't really given much reason to care about that. Our sympathies are all tied to a United Nations "investigator" being blackmailed into finding the source in order to save his family. It might have been more entertaining if it were simply more of an action movie than attempting to sing the praises of the UN whenever possible. I'd much rather be rah-rah-ing for the good ol' USA than USA forces and equipment under the direction of the UN. I mean... really? The [U]UN[/U]? Probably just my personal politics coloring my views but that bothered me more than anything else in the movie because I found that the most difficult thing on which to suspend my disbelief. As a collection of zombie-fight set pieces I found it perfectly serviceable. Not awesome as I'd really hoped, but that tends to come of repeated rewrites by teams of writers, and probably even more so because the movie has ELEVEN producers - a serious lack of focus on just what the hell it is you're all doing. I think I'm gonna go see Gravity tonight in 3d Imax. I shall be HIGHLY disappointed if it turns out to be nothing more than Open Water with CGI. [/QUOTE]
