Well I had to see it at 11 am as all the other showings were sold out all the way to Sunday evening for every theater within about an hour drive. The showing I went to sold out as well but it sold out right before the movie started.
I gave up on Star Wars after the first reboot, was that Phantom Menace , can't honestly remember. The first three were classics. Still haven't got over that new Mad Max film, shockingly bad- not sure why they felt the need to cast that posho British lad in one of the lead roles and the Hollywood woman (Theron?) they should have used unknowns if they were rebooting it. The next travesty will be when they remake Blade Runner, if they haven't already!
All they have to do is follow the spirit of the book or even explore more of the robot society that the first movie didnt go into and it should be fine. I wouldnt make it a direct sequel more of another story in the same world.
I dont know, its considered one of the most important Science Fiction books of all time. The movie really didnt do the book justice so I certainly wouldnt mind it if they went more into the world that the book goes into.
Think we are probably all a little old to be climbing trees. Ill rename the thread as soon as the trailer for Rogue One comes out. It should be coming out soon as filming is long done and the movie comes out in less than a year now.
I forgot about Total Recall, that was shocking beyond belief, the actor in it is usually decent too (from the Killing US) , miles worse than Mad Max I agree with that!
Mad Max Fury Road wasnt a remake it was an addition to the series.
They said that it was after Thunderdome but that they really didnt have a time frame for how long after it that Fury Road occurred. They also said that as opposed to a remake or a reboot they were calling it a revisit, just a one off story that they thought was worth turning into a movie.
