Kaiju.No 8 spoilers:

Nine: Oh no, this isn't happening. This last minute "Goddamn Heroes Moment" BULLSHIT IS NOT HAPPENING TO ME RIGHT NOW! Kafka: Awww, what's wrong, Nines? Plans falling apart? Strategies aren't working out? God complex feelin' a *tad* compromised? Nine: **** you, Kafka! Kafka: Oh, what's this? Where'd your sense of humor go? Leno: Same with his confidence after I pulled up? *proceeds to freeze another Mega Monster* Nine: There's only two of you, so don't get cocky! I still have the number advantage-- Haruichi: Surprise buckshot, bitch! *blows up two more Mega Monsters* Nine: Wha..?! And just where the golden ****** did you two come from?! Aoi: You're not the only one who can make surprise entrances, *******. Kafka: The shoe's on the other foot now, isn't it? How's it feel?

Hoshina: And I've got a spin-off series detailing how I joined the Third Division and met captain Ashiro. Everything is good for everyone. Except for you Nine. We're shitting on you and your plans. Nine: ...maybe I'll just implant myself on Mina Ashiro and force you to fight her. Ever thought about that?! Hoshina: Bitch, you ain't Sukuna.

...If there is indeed a gigantic alien corpse floating out in space, I'd be kinda freaked out by that.

Not to mention the original scientist just up and vanished really adds more to some creepy conspiracy factors in motion.

I thought it was alright... ish.

it was pretty much Seven Samurai in space

Seven Samurai in space and if they ended the movie after gathering the seven samurai.

Seven Samurai in space and if they ended the movie after gathering the seven samurai.

Yeah, that was annoying.

And also if Seven Samurai lacked the interesting thematic elements that helped ground it, and had only 1 and a half interesting characters in the group, and maybe 3 of the samurai have dialogue after their introductions, and with strangely bad action scenes.

And also dialogue and plot generated by an AI

Probably one of the least interesting action films I've seen in a while. Not the worst thing as a whole I've seen though ofc

Reminds me of the Gemini Home Entertainment videos (Nexpo does a really good breakdown of them)

I started watching it. First big fight scene was vaguely interesting, but outside of that felt kind of blah, so I stopped.

I struggled to get through it until that point where at least it became mostly watchable. But yeah, not missing much. I kind of just wanted to watch it to pick up cues on what not to do when making a sci-fi verse/see how bad it could get.

It's odd, the movie really feels like a person who experienced a lot of things they liked (one of the recruitment missions vaguely reminded me of meeting the Rachni from ME1) but then decided to just repackage/reimagine all of those things in the most boring way possible. I mean they have an assassin character with dual (not)light sabers and she's incredibly boring and has almost no actually cool action at all.

[Sharpandpointies]

Novaria mission…that was a good one.

Your account of this is making me even more solid on my decision not to watch it. Maybe that will change when part two comes out, but I doubt it.

Saw Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, just to see the final DCEU movie.

The universe goes out with a joyous bang. This was a really enjoyable superhero pulp adventure that embraced its campyness with engrossing earnestness. I also rather enjoyed the interactions and development between Arthur and Orm. It was a solid relationship to center the movie around.

It's an interesting comparisson to where the franchise started with Man of Steel. Going from a very self-serious and rather dour take on superhero stories to a colorful and delightfully self-aware (in that it knows what kind of story it is, not in the annoying meta-commentary sense) is quite the trip.

And it amuses me greatly that the final scene of the DCEU is spoilers:

Orm eating a hamburger, and putting a cockroach on the burger to spice it up.

Yeah, Rebel Moon was just….boring and obviously just a cobbled together movie from other movies.

I did like the alien designs and sets though. Those were kind of cool.
