Which anime? Your pic a no work.
Back to the Future Trilogy....Bob Zemeckis and Bob Gale are great!
Damn. It's called X (1996). Are there any similar in tone animes? I really liked this one and it's only the second one I've seen.Quote:

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check them out (and post what I think in this thread).Quote:

(can't rep)
Before I saw X, I too thought anime = 12-year-olds with tits, but that's not true. Well, it's kind of true but I'm ok with it now.
In Time
A complete waste of time. :p
Don't you mean don't waste your...Quote:

I seen that too as a sci-fi fan. And again as a sci-fi fan, it was ok enough for me. Could of been done way better, of course (as with just about every movie I see these days), as that idea of age stopping and buying time was a pretty cool sci-fi idea that captured my imagination. Only I can't believe who the main actor was. Never was a fan of these pop stars. At least that cop/detective was pretty cool.Quote:

So many inaccuracies and just glossing over of major events in the life and career of legendary boxer- Roberto Duran.
I tried to like it. But no.
At least there was some eye candy on offer in the form of Ana de Armas. :p http://i.imgur.com/v99tEAu.gif
This movie is already out. Thanks for the heads up.Quote:

It's like the only reason they did it was to be able to cast young actors in the roles of both the young and old characters, that's it. The old characters are no smarter/wiser than the young ones.Quote:

As for the rest of the story, it was just stupid. So one young factory worker can collapse the entire society with nothing more than a stolen handgun and a fast car? Ridiculous.
I saw Dr Strange last weekend. It was entertaining. It certainly went for the visual "wow" factor... but I was left wishing they hadn't played it so safe visually. There's little you haven't seen before here, it's just punched up to 11 and given a level of polish it hasn't had before.
It's impressive technically, but less impressive imaginatively.
There is one scene tho that's pretty great, it just doesn't last long.
Arrival
It's been keeping my mind racing for hours now.
The film is about language being a tool and a weapon.
The soundtrack is mostly alien noises and acapella music.
It's really great.
Yet somethings missing and I can't think of what.
