  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

"Knowing" trailer...

I just saw the trailer and it looks great! I'm really impressed with how the images look. We're about to shoot a full Red movie here in Manila and I'm excited on how it'll turn out. Most of the movie will be shot on Red and the slow motion using the Phantom HD camera.
 
I have Knowing on BluRay and it looks amazing! Just turn it off 10 minutes from the end...:001_tt2:
 
I loved the concept of the movie and loved the look. The ending fell flat on its face. For some reason the end of any story is always the hardest to pull off well. The big question do you resolve all of the issues for the audience or do you leave them hanging...

I feel that Hollywood writers more and more rely on aliens as a plot twist... Indy 4... such a bad choice...
 
Just saw it on DVD (on an upscaling player) and even there it looked amazing.

Doesn't seem to have gotten the best reviews overall, but I agree with Ebert, it was one of the better sci-fi flicks I've seen in awhile. I like the concepts, pacing, characters, those damn aliens were spookier than a lot of things I've seen on screen in a long while. The ending was strange, but cool, nonetheless. Wish I could have seen this in theaters.
 
Saw it last weekend and consider it to be the worst big pictures of 2009. What a dumb story. In the end aliens arrive (deus ex machina) and solve the plot, what?! It's great that even multi-million productions make the same mistakes as filmstudents in the first semester. The RedOne did good a job though. At least one good thing to remark.

Sorry offtopic but Indy 4 lost me when he survived a nuclear blast in a fridge! Talk about suspension of disbelief FAIL!

Right, because Indy surviving jumping out of an airplane in a inflatable raft in "Doom" is soooo much more believable. LOL!

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Actually, they managed to make that work in Mythbusters. Of course, that was with a much bigger raft, and only one person (crash test dummy). And, I think they dropped it from a helicopter - it'd be pretty much impossible to do it out of a plane...

Difference being that in "Doom" the tone of the script, PRACTICAL effects, acting and directing were much more believable than Indy4.

It felt more believable because it was not sooooo overblown by overly epic CGI excessiveness and huge swooping crane shots serving no purpose that were used in the latter film. Tonally the first 3 Indy pictures were great and worked well, and have not dated IMO. Indy4 is already outdated.

But I know what you mean. :wink5: Suspending disbelief is a craft and there is a thin line and not everyone will accept when and how it can be crossed.
