FF:NSW New Movies thread!!

I didn't grow up with Tintin so I can't say I'm too excited to see that movie, but I am very keen to see the Hobbit trailer!

Went and saw The Inbetweeners Movie. It was a decent extension of the TV series.

 

Pumped for my Spielberg "double header" on boxing day. Muppets and Hugo I'm also excited for!

 

What's the attraction of War Horse?

 

I believe in the beard! Im a massive Spielberg fan, and excited he's hitting a WW1 story.

 

And also the writer also wrote BlackAdder Goes Forth so he knows WWI well.

We should pick a upcoming new film that we all want to see and go see it, get the band back together.

 

I agree and especially now that the intense season has drawn to a close. December was very intense regarding work and DRL.

I know that Tintin is outstanding, I am not that familiar with Warhorse but it should be good from what I've heard of it.

 

I saw TPM Trailer infront of Tintin in 3D. Looked incredibly 2D. Eeep.

 

I haven't seen TPM trailer in 3D yet. From what I heard, fast cuts in general doesn't work well in 3D, so maybe they had to tone it down for the trailer. The final results should be better than the promo trailer. They have John Knoll in charge of the conversion process and they have been working on it for what feels like 5 years... there were rumours it was suppose to be released around 2009 and it is 2012 now.

James Cameron is also converting his Titanic in 3D for the 100th anniversary of the incident. It is amusing as he has spoke out against converting old films in 3D and... here he is.

I hope the Muppets is good. I've heard that it isn't too bad, that it could have been great but fell short in several places.

 

I think it is great that they kept to they style of the other Muppet films rather than go the CGI route.

I feel that lot of children's shows that have been 'reinvented' nowadays have lost their charm because of going CGI and with different people involved: Take Babar and Thomas the Tank Engine... you can't beat the original with Ringo Starr and the model sets/engines or the hand drawn animation for Babar. On a positive note, The Lion King is still the highest grossing hand drawn animated film of all time. I am not saying that all CGI is bad, it is the exection of it by some productions that doesn't work as how it should do. Examples of brilliant CGI shows are Jane and the Dragon by WETA and The Clone Wars by LucasFilm Animation... though The Clone Wars is a whole different field and is definitely not a "kiddies" show as some people mislabel it as.

Sorry... I kinda ranted a bit there.

 

I really liked War Horse - especially the score, but I though the Muppets was near perfect. Such a great time!

 

A friend of mine went and saw The Batman Trilogy at Sydney Imax on Saturday and I joined him for the 'Rises' session. It was amazing!

 

I loved The Dark Knight Rises! I ended up seeing the Trilogy screening on opening night with a friend at the local cinema, from 6:30pm - 3:10 am. That was quite an experience.

 

I thought that I'll post this here incase the announcement was missed but it was made official at the closing ceremony to Celebration VI that the 3D releases for AotC and RotS will be coming to cinemas almost back to back next year during September/October 2013.

 

I've been wanting to watch The Avengers again.

With John Carter, I enjoyed it though thought that it could have had more potential. I was fortunate enough to attend a talk with concept artist, Ian McCaig last year. He talked about John Carter and the history behind the story and how the film had been a hundred years in the making. That was fantastic to see his concept artworks and hearing his stories about his previous projects, such as Star Wars. John Carter was meant to be a trilogy though... but it sounds like Disney might not go ahead with them.

 

It's based on the story called The Princess of Mars, by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
Sola was great, I wonder if they will eventually do the other films and I really want them to do another Prince of Persia film.

 

I loved it and thought it stands on its own feet while remaining true to the essence and themes of the Sands of Time game. I don't listen to reviews as they tend to be hypocritical and the critic's job is to criticise. It is a fun adventure for the family to enjoy.
