killienick Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Soylent green is people. Genius! When Jim Broadbent was shouting that in Cloud Atlas I almost wet myself laughing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweaty Morph Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Apparently they couldn't get the film to play at the midnight showing at Kino in Glenrothes. There's an understandable amount of seethe doing the rounds on Facebook about it. I know I'd have been pretty disappointed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie95 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Seeing this tonight, I'm doing quite well at avoiding most of the spoilers. I now look forward for someone to do a Homer Simpson after he seen The Empire Strikes Back, and talk about the ending of the film when I'm about to ender the screening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Jenkins Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Few stories of Perth IMAX crashing halfway through the showing last night.Yeah crashed about an hour in and we were sent home Film was OK up to that point as far as generic space films go but not really star wars. Hoping the next hour I have not seen is where the amazing stuff happens. this being my first 3d movie I have seen I can say it's not for me, felt totally disconnected and couldn't focus on the whole spectacle... I'm hoping this lead to my sense of underwhelment Edited December 17, 2015 by Shaggy Jenkins 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping this lead to my sense of underwhelment Haha my friend did that leaving the cinema today...he was equally disgusted with himself. What a movie though, 9.5/10 for me, had pretty much everything: a few moments to make you grin and some moments to leave you genuinely speechless. For those that have seen the movie: I saw a "spoiler" on a Sky Sports football post 1 hour before seeing Star Wars that Chewbacca was killed...I was furious...but it made the scene where Han is killed all the more potent as I was fully expecting Chewy to get shot...I might start telling people Chewy dies as genuinely added to the movie!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I saw the same spoiler and, aye, it made it much better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiddy Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 3D or 2D for this? Usually like 3D but sometimes it's a bit pointless so what's the script here?It was the last 3d film I'll be going to see.In general, after the novelty of the trailers, the effect has worn off, & your brain has adjusted, by the time your sucked in to the feature. I think the 3d fad has had its day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airdrieman Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Saw it today. Was excellent. Much better than the prequels and easily one of the best Star Wars films. BB - 8, Finn and the new characters were all excellent additions. Rey was fucking brilliant. Does anyone know who the Scottish guy was? (Can't remember his character's name). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen it first in 2D, decided to see it again in 3D today. I have to say I much preferred the 2D. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyle Lanley Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 As long as you've watched 4,5 &6 you'll be fine That's the ones and Phanton Menace. Is this better in 2D or 3D? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 4, 5 and 6 are the original films and all should be viewed. Give a miss to 1, 2 and 3. No film is better in 3D. 3D is shite. Always go 2D 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Nomad Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) Just back from watching it in Dundee. Enjoyed it, a return to form for Star Wars after the truly awful prequels. Good casting, particularly Ridley, Driver and Isaac. Hayden Christensen in the prequels, was Lucas drunk? Location based stuff was also excellent, while the CGI stuff was good without being too in your face. ETA: watched it in 2D, doubt 3D would add anything to the film.

yoda Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) The handy guide to "Should I Go And See A Film In 3D?": 1) Is it IMAX 3D? 2) Is it Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity? If the answer to (1) and (2) is Yes, then go and see the film in 3D. If the answer to either or both questions is No, then do not go and see the film in 3D.

accies1874 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I saw it in 3D and couldn't recommend it to anyone. It was the first 3D movie I had seen in a long time and all it really did was make the movie darker which was incredibly annoying. We got into the movie a minute or so before it started so my eyes were still adjusting to it for the title crawl so I was struggling to read it. Thankfully seeing it in 2D tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 The Force Awakens becomes the fastest ever film to make $1bn beating Jurassic World's record by a day. It has broken every box office record going. Depending on what source you take it may not have beaten Jurassic World's opening weekend take globally, but the most lucrative foreign market is China, and The Force Awakens doesn't open until January there. It opened in fewer cinemas than Jurassic World too. It has already surpassed the revenues of all previous Starwars films, but still has a long way to beat Starwars in the adjusted for inflation totals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
