OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

The Edge of Tomorrow
« on: June 11, 2014, 04:23:55 PM »
I swaw this yesterday in IMAX 3D and...stick with me here...HEY. Stick with me.

I'll bullet list why you should see it.


  • Emily Blunt
  • It's funny...not deep funny, not stupid funny, but "Hey, that was unusually funny" funny.
  • It's got some really, really cool special effects. Not over the top. But cool. The "aliens" are very, very well done and pretty wicked.
  • It doesn't spend too much time telling you why the situation is what it is, but the time it takes to tell you why you are satisfied with. If that makes sense.

This movie will not win awards. It's just a well directed movie that does what it's supposed to do and doesn't do anything wrong. The only weak spot is that some of the ancillary characters aren't very good at acting. Otherwise, it's worth a trip to the movies.

No meat curtains, Tonk. But Emily Blunt does do yoga in it. Which was nice.

I guess that qualifies as Tofu Curtains.  (meat substitute

Agree with all of this. It wasn't bad at all.

I swaw this last week.  It starts out badly, but improves fast: really not bad at all.

EDIT: Just re-read *IAN's review.  He has nailed it.
