This movie was fantastic

Absolutely we have to support and watch it in theaters what a beautiful experience

i absolutely adore this movie. It's rogue one without it's flaws and being tethered to the star wars/disney. the conflict is intricate and truly made of shades of gray. both sides are right and both are wrong. Colonel is completely right in her convinction- just listen to the "neanderthals" speech. from her point of view it trully is us vs them. Noone outside of top brass knows that LA wasn't AI's fault. And yet, even if it isn't- who's to say that they won't revolt down the line? they have the capactiy to outdo humans in every category- of course people are paranoid. revenge for LA, survival of the species and dehumanisation of the enemy can make you justify a whole lot of terrible things. they're not human after all, so it's ok, right? and on the other hand there's the AI and their supporters- they're sentient and just want to be left alone. Whether they are real or not is just semantics. they feel, hurt and are brutally dispatched. the brutal way the US is dealing with them forces them to play dirty too, after all- why wouldn't you with an enemy that wants to eradicate every single one of you? for humans it about the threat of genocide, for AI the genocide is very real and happening Like in Rogue 1 i see heavy Vietnam War undertones, but while there it was reduced to aesthetics here it's expanded, one could say perfected. US fighting a brutal preemptive (and based on a lie) east asia war to "guard" the world from the enemy spreading it's influence? So many words to not say "domino theory" just the setting itself screams 'nam with all those rural villages, the pertruding karst and islets, the bridge that feels ripped straight out of Apocalypse now. Also music being very deliberately peppered with old school rock. The main question of the story is a great pararel for our wars, how we dehumanise "the others", the treatment of AI isn't that far off from how one would think about Japs and Charlie back in the day or Haji and Muj quite recently, and in some way while it talks about future AI war it also makes it timeless in a sense as for the main star- Dude really can act. here we can see what we didn't see in Tenet- emotion. inner conflict. nuance and shit. There he was mostly a silent protagonist led by sheer willpower, an institution rather than a man. It was designed like that, but let's be honest, Robert Pattison did a hard carry in this movie. Here it's definitely on mr. Washington's shoulders. Dude got talent The little kid was a bit over the top adorable with "what is heaven" and other lines, but that was her purpose and she fullfilled it perfectly. as for the ending- Yeah. that "one more minute with her" and the heroic sacrifice hit hard. This is what Rogue One was meant to be. Personaly- i grade it as a 8/10 in its genre, best action Sci-fi since Oblivion Sidebar- i don't think they fired a nuke from NOMAD itself. from my understanding the station was built deep into the war, which could have started a long long time ago, that senate hearing or whatever you call it of a general speaking after LA's destruction doesn't look modern by any means. i think the war has to be at the very least 15 years old, but quite possibly it could be going on for decades. we know that it took 10 years to build nomad and we know that it was used at least as soon as 5 years ago, since this movie takes place 5 years after Joshua's botched undercover mission. It could be a forever war, just one that the East is currently loosing because of nomad and Nirmata being in a coma. and even then, it took 5 years of Nomad freely operating and Maya's coma to get East to its near colapse it is shown in. I'm thinking it's more like 20-30 years of war. can't be more as Joshua's parents died in LA. He could be a kid while that happened, but still, more is reaching

You should do The Ghost in the darkness

I mean The Ghost and the Darkness

It’s just programming😂

@@overlyfatman9722 Agreed, I commented on their final scene under another KZfaqr reaction channel. The part where she responded like she loved Joshua took me out of the scene emotionally because I realised that it was just her advanced programming responding in a human fashion.

IT IS A MACHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@FeelinEriebut the point is to show how we aren’t any different… we’re programmed very much the same way to love etc

​@@FeelinErie Human brains are programmed, opening someone's skull just reveals really complex patterns of microscopic wires. Humans don't have some magical soul dust or something. This is the point of the movie, its human hubris that only humans have moral value.

99 percent of humans accept people for who they are. its getting crazy how the powers at be are trying to censor us and pushing and demanding males and females to use the same bathroom and play sports. its become insanity. thats just 1 example. i accept everyone being half spanish and italian. im from guatemala and i disagree with biden cause hes letting millions of people “ mainly men” over the border. my mom came here legally. there is no accountability when it comes to crimes and law. its ashame

LIBERALLL

Exactly and obvious to anyone with any political awareness

It's just our history constantly repeating. We seem incapable of changing. So far anyway.

That’s what I got from it.

My hard ass was right there with you

Same man same 💔

Denzel Washington son

@@taylorcontreras5656 yes a great actor. I hope he gets cast to play Yasuke, a great African samurai accepted by the japanese people. Would be an epic movie like gladiator.

@@immortalone3943oh wow that actually doesn’t seem like a bad casting decision, maybe he could work with Ken Watanabe again

Doesn’t top Oppenheimer for me. I’d say a solid 7.5/10 definitely a visual treat.

@@alasdairboswell4654I think the nude scenes alone take away from Oppenheimer. One was fine, but the sex scene in the hearing was odd to me.

​@@ethanweeter2732 lmao

i give 2/10

Lies. Studio bot.

This was very disappointing to me. The dumbest 'sci fi' film since AntMan 3. The robots act like humans but they are also physically weird so we can immediately tell they are robots. They are incredibly weak and dumb also, like Terminators crossed with Star Wars Storm Troopers. Nothing they are doing makes any sense. Also the premise that America tries to ban or stop all AI is hilariously ignorant of America from a social satire perspective. *America will never stop AI once corporations start making money off of it.* A.I. weapons for Pentagon. Sex Bots for the masses. Hate bots you can denigrate, abuse and enslave, and you're golden. America can't stop that anymore than they can stop twitter, guns and internet porn because those things relate their TRUE VALUES. Film is too shallow, vapid and stupid to go there though. Blade Runner for the cognitively challenged.

I don't like the fact that the AI police moves like humans. I think that robots should move more like...robots.

@@smsg83 I think the choice of giving them the flexibility as that of humans is far more efficient. It allows them to move through the environments more easily.

​@@smsg83the whole point is that they're supposed to be more human tho

​​@@smsg83that's the point, they're so advanced that they felt like human

Same here. Watched it with my 14 y.o. son. Left us in tears.

No sequel please let this be. It is amazing 😢

If there will be a sequel, i hope that joshua and maya escaped in a escape pod and they live happily together with alphie lol

it was confirmed that there wont be a sequel, the creator likes when movies end with an ending no part 2s or 3s, sadly :( @@darrenmendez7262

they dont need a sequel but a prequal would be fire. maybe like leading up to the nukes and the start ,of the war, or even the evolution of the AI itself. the CGI was so well done, they could really expand this universe dramatically

I saw it in IMAX to support the film, and I’m glad I did

i give 2/10 but i agree

@@domoetker3967 👍

The sound design and soundtrack blew me away several times.

She was strong in this film. She was more believable (acting wise) at times than Joshua. She killed it.

The cinematography was amazing and just the entire vision in all is without a doubt way up there and is as cyberpunk as cyberpunk gets!

U cant get a better story than that! Cmon!

🤓

@@Curi0u50ne YES! I AM!

Yes, That District 9 feeling. The music was epic.

@DeonysusSoD the sound design was dope in theaters

DISTRICT 9 IS SO DAMN GOOD

@@MenaCourtadeProductionsEspecially at a Dolby theater, which is the one at AMC I went to. Would watch it again in IMAX, but want a d director’s cut for sure.

Nope, rating it PG13 allows more people to watch it. This movie needs to be seen

Possibly, that could have been a thought but I assumed the availability and sentiment behind the decision which conveniently added a twist to the plot.

I hated every minut of it, its not just You.

Seems that's the common complaint but I don't how bad it was story wise. Some of the dialogue was questionable but nothing compared to the other stuff we've been getting in other movies/shows.

Writing was pretty minimal imo, not all over the place, the strength in this movie lies in the action and the special effects and worldbuilding and acting for sure, anyway I think its a solid movie

One example... his buddy who was left, somehow runs a factory deep in AI territory, and when his clearly wanted friend shows up, asks "you weren't followed, right?" Of course he was followed! The entire region is looking for him.

@@terranncegilmoreOh right but no you are wrong, in this AI driven world, the AI is even worse the Storm troopers in Star Wars. Nothing, absolyt nothing made any sens at all, US army assult a base, they send the police? And they have 10 robots standing there shooting straig into the US army truck for like 20 min or more. This movie was so garbage its not even funny.

Agreed, but this movie could have ended so much better if Washington didn't betray humanity in favor for the AI takeover

​@@user-tr2mb4xs7ihe only betrayed the Muricans desperate for superiority other countries are coexisting with AI so he just sucker punched the Murica

@@user-tr2mb4xs7i it was the US who betrayed humanity as they always do creating every war!

How did it fail to meet your expectations? Wondering

@gregt.5160 after seeing the preview for it, I think I was expecting to see even more to the movie. Sometimes those previews show too much of the movie.

characterisation.. no need to rush these things, and its wrong to think we should automatically care about characters, unless theres reason to @@greg.peepeeface

@@davidprodigy5833 Yea I also felt it could've been longer and I would've been fine with it. It's 2 hrs 15 mins but could've been 2 hrs 45 mins or 3 hours and imo it would've made the film better.

I think there is. The version I just got done watching had multiple F-Bombs and in Jeremy Jahns review, he mentioned he saw someone mouth the “fuck” but the words were different.

Because they used Vietnam war as reference to make invasion screen and setting of New Asia, New Asia is in fact Indochina, Vietnam is the center and yes, Vietnam is also the center of New Asia, Josh hut is on VN shore too. Many of AI resistance are Vietnamese A.I, Kami is Vietnamese A.I, the mass invasion is mainly in Vietnamese. Everything is using Vietnam as reference.

@@trietnguyen2539its Thailand, Indonesia, Nepal and some of Vietnam.

She still has Harun (the Ken Watanabe's character).

Would love a show or even an anime exploring what happens to Alfie after this film

@@Listen3000 that would be so cool, that’s a great idea

Same it was an experience

I wish I had watched it on IMAX.

@ethanweeter2732 Yeah bro. I was fortunate enough to have a discount code for imax.

Her people were free that's something to smile about.

@@mickdipiano8768 ahh totally, it was most likely just that. It was just the way the expression changed, totally possible that was just my brain seeing something that wasn’t there 😂

@@mickdipiano8768Yes, untill they declare war on humanity haha such a stupid movie and premiss.

@@peternystrom921 it's funny that a troll bot is threatening ai taking over.

@@mickdipiano8768The premiss in the movie will never ever work as a happy ending. The robots will take over, we have problem feeding and birth humans now. This movie was just so stupid.

Because they are all humble and amazing sci-fi movies?

It's Gareth Edwards, but it feels like a Neil Blomkamp movie. In all the right ways.

I agree with your general rankings, but I have to say I thought the pacing was near perfect. The only slog and the only time I felt the runtime was between the 2nd and 3rd act. But hey, different strokes. Respectfully

15 people missing the one guy 30 ft away on the bridge is unforgivable though 😂

I agree with this... the robots missing didn't bother me. Have you seen AI try to draw fingers? 😅 Trust me, AI misses the mark, haha. They aren't war machines. They might not be specifically designed to have perfect aim... But I agree with the rest, though I would add a 10/10 as far as acting. The little girl was amazing, and everyone else too.

The problem is the writing. Edwards is a strong visual artist, but he is a bad writer. Which is why he played it safe and basically just rehashed the plot of Rogue One. Pair this guy with a good writer and we would get a masterpiece.

Thank you

Yes, don’t let negative reviews bother you.

Go watch and enjoy!

Like when they’re behind the blast shield.. want to have sex with your mom part of was gold

The only laughs that I heard were ones of uneasiness. But, thats the American vibe.

@@enigma8088 it’s for an American audience, and there’s a ton on funny moments that aren’t obnoxious like a marvel movie

then better watch in your country. Where you from? same place like Johnny somalia i guess huh?

Why are you guys in my country? What you want from our , grandmothers, mothers and daughters, granddaughters & grandsons? You muslim right? Is this legal? How old are you 50? You got a wife and kids already or? WHAT ARE YOU DO IN THAILAND? This is so heartbreaking for us Asians to read this and knowing whats up right now!

That’s funny, I had the opposite thought. The main draw of this movie is its aesthetics, which I could have appreciated just as much as a half hour short. It’s basically a VFX reel with a Star-Wars story underneath.

@@artlesscalamity348 nah I liked the story the most

With a Blade Runner chaser !

Blade Runner is considered a top 5 Sci-Fi film of all time though.

@@ethanweeter2732 yea, after the fact (not via box office numbers/revenue)

I feel the opposite. Once people start getting multiple viewing and aren't wowed by the visuals anymore the paper thin story, massive plot holes you could drive a truck through, and the forced contrivances that need to happen to movie the movie along are going to drag this movie down. In a few years all people will remember of it is this... "Hey remember that pretty looking film from a few years back that had that AI kid on the run? No not the Spielberg movie, the one with the robo-viet cong."

Watch it again. I did, and it got even better during the second time around.

@@alphamrc309Yeah I don't think so, I'll probably come back having found even more plotholes. The movie just wasn't it. It could've been great, it could've been a reflection of our own world, it could've made such an impact but it was just meh. It was gorgeous but ultimately just meh

Its the weakest bigbudget movie of the year

@@raymondechoone of them for sure lol right there with the “the flash” for me.

@@raymondecho - Its not big budget. Only 80 million. Thats dirt cheap compared to other films that look worse.

that is what I was thinking when I watched it! wonder if more people will notice

Not so original, star track had an aI in the 70 s, Kirk fell in love with her

but we as humans are also just limited by our programming if we view our education, experiences and social norms as programming but just slower in input

I do think it was similar to Vietnam films, but I did not mind because it fit into the plot I thought.

agreed

In case you're still wondering 3 months later: Clair de Lune from Claude DeBussy.
