It was a lot of fun. I’m sure it would have been a favorite if I saw it when it was new.Ello Sailor wrote:Loved this one as a kid. So intense.Anders wrote:Tremors

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

That’s a fair review.tree_ wrote:Captain Fantastic. I really like some of these ideas, like the main concept of a man living and raising a family in a lifestyle true to himself and the ideals he holds so highly, and the inevitable impending conflict with society and social norms. But some of the story and dialogue, including some obvious fish out of water stuff kinda treats its audience like idiots. I would like this so much more if it were nearly as clever and smart as it suggests this family is. Some if it did surprise me, though, and I did have a decent enough time.
what's flummoxing me is the number of people saying "getting old in a day" is a unique conceit / trope, when The X Files did it in 90-wheneverthefuck, along with whoever elselennytheweedwhacker wrote:good grief...if i didn't know, i'd think it was a tommy wiseau movie twenty minutes inBurtReynolds wrote:No you get what you deserve
i haven't looked at any reviews, read any fan reactions, etc...but the person i went with, who i know has questionable movie taste, said he didn't think it was that bad
this was just next level bad to me...and at the end of the day i probably like more m. night films than i dislike
There was a Sean Connery version that got brutal reviews that I watched a million times when I was a kid.
