Some audience members hated the slow scenes, too drawn out. Whilst others appreciated the performances. Sounds like both sides of Anton's coin missed the point. This is art at its most elemental and transcendent. I'm sorry if you missed that.

A hugely promising start, with the character and world building delivered perfectly with more show than tell. Granted, much of this building had already been done, but this take revitalises the diluted franchise. Unlike the deep space research vessel, I hope they stick the landing.

Visually engrossing and much better realised than the similar Ready Player One. The Achilles Heal here is that Brown and Pratt are in two completely different movies, clueless of each others tone. It's a film you won't regret watching and will never watch again.

A protagonist who's faith seems born out of naivety having their faith tested beyond sanity in this razor sharp chamber piece. And this brilliant film has the most satisfying ending I've seen since Gravity. Anyone who says otherwise is a heretic.

Labyrinthine narratives desperately need engaging leads so as not to make the whole affair an exposition dump of gobbledygook. In Lynch and Redmayne we have two incredible actors and I just watched the first five in a row, couldn't get enough. OK some developments are a little too signposted, but that can also provide pay off pleasure! Great soundtrack also.

Presented with tantalising jigsaw pieces that never coalesce, I was on the edge of my seat until the conceit evaporated. Ironically, this film is a dead end.

Compelling narrative, but with thinly sketched characters. You kinda get their motivations, mainly by remembering the motivations of similar, but better versions from other films. The reveal is rewarding though, so overall recommended.

It came from the deep! Which is apt for a film with such depth, where the emotions will rise and rise inside you as you watch, washing over you with excitement, awe, laughter and finally with salt water in your eyes. My Godzilla, this is great.

Ironically a misfire. There's languid and then there's boring. I'm afraid this is the latter.

This felt amateur. Absolutely nothing new. Surprised how cheap everything looked. Stenberg and Jung-jae were impressive and the only reason I didn't switch off, but I won't be switching back on again.
