Universal is going straight to professional critic screenings rather than having the usual "word-of-mouth screenings" for social media.

    Nolan’s kind of a dick for a lot of reasons but this is the right fucking move.

      Maybe… But letting less people see it early is what you do when you think your movie is going to suck. Alternately, when you think “The people won’t understand your art”.

        That’s a fair take, he may be doing it for the wrong reasons… but I’m just on a “fuck all influencers” bandwagon and always have been, so stopped clock and all that.

        Influencers are unlikely to pass harsh judgment in cases like this because they think that their fancy business trips are a reward and they don’t want to miss on the next ones. Their opinions are worthless.

    I can’t wait to watch this and have no idea what is happening thanks to another terrible sound mix.

      And because Christopher Nolan assumes everyone knows what he knew about the events. He sucks at nonfiction.

        You know it’s not based in actual events right?

        The Odyssey is a fiction novel.

            Unsure if joking, yeah, it’s a fiction.

            It’s the famous one with the witch that turns people into animals, and the Cyclops that Oddyseus tells his name is “Nobody”

    Good. Those freeloading social media influencers can just go away already. Buy Pepsi.

      There’s no way for you to know that.

      Watch before deciding, always.

        The next Asylum film could be a masterpiece!

        The movie could be great but Nolan is trending towards pretentious plots and scores that drown out dialogue. I personally expect it will be a mediocre experience.

        At least we have his earlier films where they were convoluted but fun and you could hear what was happening.

    I hope it’s not like Tenet. I like his movies, but that one was very rough. Even Robert Pattinson had no idea what was going on.

      I mean tenet is great. If you watch it repeatedly on a big screen with toned down audio.

      One of my favorites. I hated it in cinema.

      The answer is, both please!
      No reason to have to choose.

        I guess I should have disclosed that I am a low key Nolan-hater. Maybe that’s a bit harsh, but I have never really connected with his movies. The concepts are always cool, but the way he writes characters just never clicks with me xD

        But hey, I hope you’ll enjoy this one! And I hope we will both enjoy Werwulf.

        This year is also a bit nuts when it comes to new movies coming out, that are actually worth watching. I can’t remember the last time a year had more than one worthwhile movie to go see in the cinema, but this year has several. I can’t wait for October, to go see Wildwood. And right now I am struggling with whether I should go rewatch Obsession, go watch Backrooms or go see the new Robin Hood movie. I don’t know what to do, lol.

          This year is also a bit nuts when it comes to new movies coming out, that are actually worth watching.

          It is! I’ve got 19 theater trips so far this year. In 26 weeks. Well ahead of even my normal.

                Thank you for taking the time to list out these films!

                When you say 28 years later, are you referring to The Bone Temple? Because my bf and I enjoyed that one.

                Or rather, I almost threw up because we watched it while eating dinner and coincidentally, we were eating lasagna that day. If you know, you know xD took me awhile before I could eat lasagna again haha.

                I’ll put a pin in the other movies! Thanks again! 🤗
