The Upcoming Film Discussion Thread?

[Wryan]

Haha it looks about like what I expected. The effects look like a mix of ok and oh-no-baby-what-is-you-doing. I like several of the actors here, and it's all but guaranteed to be quite silly and probably a fun enough afternoon viewing. I can dig.

[Wryan]

"It's a birthmark."
"What do you mean?"
"He was born with it."

I MEAN COME ON, TRAILER/MOVIE. LET ME BREATHE A MOMENT HERE.

[megladon8]

"It's a birthmark."
"What do you mean?"
"He was born with it."

I MEAN COME ON, TRAILER/MOVIE. LET ME BREATHE A MOMENT HERE.

Literally came in here to laugh about that line.

[megladon8]

I wouldn't say awful, but ... not good, either. I understand it's a video game movie, but ... meh.

It's pretty sad because the most recent revamp of the video games (starting with X) actually have a decent story and writing.

[Skitch]

We're not really complaining that MORTAL KOMBAT is ridiculous, are we?

[Idioteque Stalker]

The Sub-Zero stuff was cool. Could've done without Scorpion's "get over here" at the end, but it's basically required.

[Philip J. Fry]

Needs more Johnny Cage. Otherwise, it looks really fun.

[megladon8]

We're not really complaining that MORTAL KOMBAT is ridiculous, are we?

That's my entire problem. I WANT it to be ridiculous. But they seem to be wanting it to have some earnestly delivered plot.

Just give me 80 minutes of fights with insane gore. That's all I want from an MK movie.

[Ezee E]

At least they're going all in with the gore and fatalities. Haven't played a MK game in over a decade, but I def watch the fatalities on youtube

[Philip J. Fry]

Same.

[Skitch]

Ok good. Same.

[Spun Lepton]

My issues with the new MK:
Who is this protagonist? They made him up for the movie. Why isn't it just Liu Kang, Johnny Cage or Sonya Blade?
Birthmark? WTF.
Trailer needs more Shang Tsung.
Mileena doesn't have fangs.

Things I did like about it:
Gore, obviously.
Goro looks pretty badass.

Don't know, guys. I'm probably the biggest MK fan on the site, so maybe take that into account. I still play MK11 almost daily.

[megladon8]

Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion is inspired.

I'm just really worried this is going to lean more towards the MK: Annihilation side of "silly", rather than kung fu with horror gore kind of silly.

[Dukefrukem]

Imagine the Raid type of fights in MK form?

[megladon8]

Imagine the Raid type of fights in MK form?

Exactly. That's what I want.

I am expecting this will be 75% attempt at storytelling, 24.5% poorly photographed, dimly lit fight scenes, 0.5% cool gore.

[Philip J. Fry]

Exactly. That's what I want.

I am expecting this will be 75% attempt at storytelling, 24.5% poorly photographed, dimly lit fight scenes, 0.5% cool gore.
The fights in the trailer (specifically Sub-Zero/Scorpion) look pretty dope, though. Loved SZ's waterbending moment.

[Spun Lepton]

I never really had high expectations for it. From what rumors I've heard, though, they went all-in on the gore. They knew their audience.

No he absolutely loves him.

[Idioteque Stalker]

I knew what you meant Duke. Solidarity.

I wasnt sure what you meant buts that's because I dont recall the convo where trans is a Fincher fan. Very happy to hear it though!

It seems more engineered than created, but otoh the gender flip is cute and I like that Rachel Leigh Cook plays the mom.

There's so many teen based romcoms on Netflix that I think the service has become the quasi-equivalent of MTV for zoomers --- something you watch with half an eye, right after school and before you parents get home.

Given the junk I sometimes watch, from lame horror to fringe cartoons, I can't really turn up my nose at too many projects obviously aimed outside my demo.

From the response to her performance, and as of now no one to come out with the same rave or high-profile film as hers yet, Kristen Stewart is looking to be the Best Actress frontrunner at the moment.

[Idioteque Stalker]

Picked up Regal Unlimited pass today for $60 off (thanks Mal). Sadly, no movies out right now that I want to see. So it got me thinking of what I'm anticipating.

Most anticipated:
1. Licorice Pizza (no trailer, but promising cast/plot and PTA coming off his best movie)
2. The Power of the Dog (looks to be a home run for Campion, best trailer I've seen in some time)
3. Titane (sure to be wild, Raw was a fantastic debut for Ducournau, palme d'or win)
4. The Tragedy of Macbeth (striking trailer, early raves, how can it miss?)
5. Red Rocket (I've got nothing but love for Sean Baker)

I'll also be more than happy to see:
Spencer (loved Jackie, waiting for Kristen Stewart to finally wow me)
Don't Look Up (is it too big for its britches? I'll be happy to find out)
The French Dispatch (Wes going full Wes. Tons to appreciate)
Dune (IMAX here we come)
The Humans (my morbid curiosity can get the best of me)

Dishonorable mentions:
Belfast
King Richard
House of Gucci
West Side Story
tick, tick... BOOM

Also, with C'mon C'mon, Belfast, Passing, The Tragedy of Macbeth, and (parts of) The French Dispatch -- b&w movies coming on strong this awards season.

As the human species adapts to a synthetic environment, the body undergoes new transformations and mutations. With his partner Caprice (Léa Seydoux), Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen), celebrity performance artist, publicly showcases the metamorphosis of his organs in avant-garde performances. Timlin (Kristen Stewart), an investigator from the National Organ Registry, obsessively tracks their movements, which is when a mysterious group is revealed… Their mission – to use Saul’s notoriety to shed light on the next phase of human evolution.

I love David Cronenberg as a director although I haven't seen much of his 2000s movies. This looks as messed up as Crash was so that definitely peaks my interest.

Woof. Cronenberg coming back at full power!

[Spun Lepton]

Plot summary is like ... yikes! Of course, I'm all over this.

It sounds just as ambitious, taking a deep dive into the not-so-distant future in which humankind is learning to adapt to its synthetic surroundings. This evolution moves humans beyond their natural state and into a metamorphosis, which alters their biological makeup. While some embrace the limitless potential of trans-humanism, others attempt to police it. Either way, Accelerated Evolution Syndrome, is spreading fast. Saul Tenser is a beloved performance artist who has embraced this new state, sprouting new and unexpected organs in his body. Along with his partner Caprice, Tenser has turned the removal of these organs into a spectacle for his loyal followers to marvel at in real time theater. But with both the government and a strange subculture taking note, Tenser is forced to consider what would be his most shocking performance of all.
