This looks sweeeeeeet:

I saw Europa Report yesterday. Pretty fucking cool that was.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Lastnight I finished Two Towers and got 3/4 through Return of the King (bluray extended versions)
I think I started around 11:30 too

between Europa Report, Elysium, Pacific Rim and Gravity, I think this will be a good year for scifi. Comparing Europa Report to Moon and 2001: A Space Odyssey makes my penis incredibly erect

 

[Matt]

Europa Report looks kinda meh to me. Looks similar to Prometheus which i wasn't thrilled with. Elysium looks good though.

 

[Onder]

Moon was extra meh.

 

[Einherjar86]

Oh man, I loved Moon! One of my favorite recent SF ventures. That's good to hear that Europa Report was decent, I've been hearing good things from other people as well.

And I'm with Mike, especially regarding Europa Report, Elysium, and Gravity. Gonna be a fun fucking summer.

I've cone to realize I like "bad" sci fi movies...

But anyway, what's similar about Europa report and Prometheus? I just don't see it from the previews...

 

[Einherjar86]

Yeah, me neither. Actually, it reminds me way more of the premise to the sequel to 2001.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

I'd like to see Europa report in the Lincoln Square Imax. That place is the shizzle.

 

[unknown]

Yeah, me neither. Actually, it reminds me way more of the premise to the sequel to 2001.

2010?

Yeah, I'm fucking excited for it. I hope my local theaters get it, otherwise I'll just buy it On Demand or something.

Also, am I the only one that thinks Elysium looks like a snoozer? That's the one with Matt Damon? Gravity looks pretty cool though.

 

[Einherjar86]

2010?

Yeah, the whole mission to a moon to Jupiter to look for signs of intelligent life plot... although, I'm hoping that Europa Report is better executed than 2010.

I don't know, I think Elysium could be cool. It's the same guy who made District 9.

Melancholia - First half was an exercise in boredom. Second half was much better but still pretty slow. Did make me think how I would react to the end of the world.

My exact reaction.

EDIT: Funny thing is that my mother loved the first half.

 

[Onder]

Saw Lone Ranger yesterday. That Verbinsky faggot is an extra dumb faggot. That was absurd.

 

[damnromulans]

Can't fucking wait for Pacific Rim

It was garbage.

Overall premise of: expedition to x planet in hopes of finding clues to how the universe was created, find alien life on x planet, all die horrifically.

That formula can actually be applied to a wide variety of SF narratives, not just Prometheus and Europa Report.
