Jeremy Jahns is undefeated. He has never led me astray

He loved it, said everyone in it nails the assignment

Great and Epic in scope and achievement

page plays a pussy soldier
Jahns said people saying "Page wouldn't last 10 seconds in any real war" are exactly right, and that is literally the point of her character

She is a weak soldier that died quickly. . .for nothing

She is supposed to be a character moment for Odysseus, not for herself

Just got out.

Holy frickin shite did he nail the ending. The first 2 hours are good to great but more just straight forward adventure. But the last 45 min or so when Nolan ties everything together thematically and then the big finish hits is what really puts it over the top and makes it great.

The Circe part is wild. The cyclops was ok, I think some reviews blew that scene out of proportion. Leguizamo kills it and I think Tom Holland has a bright future. I will admit the American accents are a little weird.

Saw it in standard 70mm and loved it. I wouldn’t miss this in theatre. Once again the last 45 min is epic and really gives the whole thing meaning as well as explains why these things are happening to Odysseus.

Travis Scott has 10 seconds of screen time. Helen maybe 10 lines. And page plays a pussy soldier so it kinda fits. All the sky screamers can chill now.

This will only make them louder like a child when they dont get their way

Glad I got my center aisle early for Saturday night.

Get the sense there may not be many seats remaining pretty soon

It was great. I did not see in IMAX but will do so for my second viewing.

FIFY but spot on.

Still processing but I’ll add it is surprisingly emotional and there are scenes where Greek mythology is portrayed in the score and cinematography that are just amazing..

Saw it today. Big, big movie. Totally epic. I’ll definitely see it another time or two while it’s in theaters. Waiting until streaming is not the way to go with this one.

Heard enough, bought tickets for 70 mm IMAX on next Thursday.

Worst case is my super liberal friend will like it if I don't. Crazy how we can be great friends even though we disagree on some things.

Like the director and cast?
Like the least terminally online person is Nolan, who has never had a smart phone and doesn’t use email (I’m sure an assistant or someone has to use one for him). And I can’t think of anyone in the cast who is either.

I guess I just find it funny because up until like 2 months ago he was one of the hated directors by the far left, due to his casting choices (no Indians in Dunkirk; no Japanese perspective in Oppenheimer) and his “right wing” plots like “anti-occupy Wall Street” in TDKR (since Bane attacks theirstock market) and “a supporter of the Bush era patriot act” (since they ignored the whole Lucious Fox position and Batman destroying the tech). Like but this is a good example of horseshoe theory and how stupidity does a lot of the work bringing them together.

And all I see of the press tour we like Matt Damon shocked Tom Holland had never seen the The Matrix or Anne Hathaway and Matt Damon talking about turning down roles and both regrets and in Damon’s case, thankful Ridley convinced him to do The Martian.

He portrayed Oppenheimer as a communist. The left loved that so I don’t know where you’re getting this alternate reality from?

Sorry, your take on this is I'll informed. My uncle worked with him and at Los Alamos for the rest of his career.

He was nuanced, and was portrayed fairly as sympathetic, but not an outright supporter according to my primary source.

I agree, but his feedback was that Oppenheimer was portrayed accurately as a conflicted, and perhaps influenced persona.

You said the left loved that he was portrayed as a communist. This was not the portrayal in the movie.

The movies shows that all his friends and everyone he sleeps with are communist.

Don't disagree, that was all true according to him. Again, he was conflicted because the people he was close to had some views he wasn't on board with.

I’m not disagreeing with your comments on the man, just saying that what the other poster said about “the left” hating him isn’t true.
