@DrToffnar to the credit of Hannibal, I think that Julianne Moore was a far better Clarice than Jodie Foster.

The cinematographer (Emmauel Lubezki) sort-of re-invented the "oner" technique. Or rather made it popular again. Children of Men I think is one of the first he did it, and he went on to do Birdman (like 1917 made to look like one single take) and The Revenant. The opening scene in The Revenant is stunning.It's quite an odd movie. They do lots of 'one take' shots, following the characters through and around, giving it almost a documentary feel at times (I've just read this was a little what the director was after). It's like they did the long take of '1917', but not trapping themselves in the gimmick of 'the hole movie in one shot', so I feel it works really well, much better than 1917.
Ad Astra,
Utter Nonsense and totally crap
I think the script and the idea was written by a 3 year old...
Love sci-fi and slow burners aswell...But this was just laughable out loud cringe crap nonsense.

It was hard to find out, but that apparently was Adam Arkapaw. Cary Fukunaga was the director though, he's just done Bond 25/No Time to Die.@Scam Do you know if Lubezki had anything to do with the spectacular one shot sequence in season 1 of True Detective?

I must admit I've seen that shot, but never got past the 2nd episode of TD because my girlfriend complained she "couldn't understand them" That's now on the pile of timeless aborted watches due to girlfriend issues, with Breaking Bad
Alien
10/10 (would have gave it probably a 9 if it wasn't such an old movie, I think it aged really well)
Aliens
8.5/10
with modern readouts and computers I don't think the atmosphere of the films would work anywhere near as well as they do.I think the real thing that shows the age in these movies is the computers, remove that element and it's suddenly not so apparent how old they are.
Rush - 9/10
Hadn't seen this in ages, but it popped up on TV the other week so I recorded it.
The bad
Historical inaccuracies abound. Some events are compressed, shifted around or glossed over entirely, including pretty important stuff like Hunt's first GP win for Hesketh ('75 Dutch GP).
The good
Quite literally everything else about the film. The cast are excellent, it's visually stunning and it gets enough of the history right to properly tell the story of what Grand Prix racing was like back then.

Alien 3
6/10
I thought I had seen Alien as a child at about 7 years old or so but it must have been Aliens.
I kinda liked alien 3 but it got boring pretty fast although it did seem quite promising with a pretty strong cast imo.
I can only imagine if these films were made in the last 10 years all the actors would be at-least half the age which is one of the reasons I dislike a lot of modern films, too many young beautiful cast members make everything a lot less believable unless it's a movie similar to gattaca. (although I don't remember how beautiful the cast of that was or how young)
