Ok. So one last #NovaEmber , even if it’s late

Jurassic Park: Rebirth

Head and shoulders above the last three, and had Scarlett Johansson rather than Pratt.

Positive story, and the bad guys died.

The effects were stellar Scarlett was never treated like a second hand “babe” character.

Jurassic Park :Dominion might be the last movie I get to squeeze in for #NovaEmber.

Which makes 25 movies in 30 days. Not bad. I think only 4 were rewatches. The Dead Zone, Brainstorm, Event Horizon, and a partial watch of Pitch Black.

Which makes 54 movies in two months, 48 of them new. Nice to get through so many in my backlog.

Tonight’s #NovaEmber movie

Jurassic Park: Dominion

Fun watch. A little sappy at the end. It’s very cool to see dinosaurs animated with feathers. And the CGI is incredible. The behind the scenes of the special effect shows how much things have evolved since the first movie.

The Lewis Dodgson characters look and mannerisms were clearly based on Tim Cook. lol

Morgan

I’d seen this once before, but forgotten all the details. Anya Tailor-Joy is so otherworldly as Morgan. And Kate Mara is perfect as the corporate fixer.

I love the art direction of the underground lab building. I could live in a building like that.

Brainstorm

I have seen it before, but it’s been 30 years. It’s surprising how the story still holds up. And Christopher Walken and Natalie Wood are great together.

There’s almost an ethereal tone to the lady 30 minutes as he watches the rest of “the tape”.

Last nights #NovaEmber movie (attempt)

Pitch Black (Rewatch)

Wanted something familiar last night, and I really enjoy Pitch Black. Riddick is basically the good guy in the movie, protecting others.

Unfortunately, I fell asleep about half way through and woke up again during the credits. But I was tired, it wasn’t the movie.

Tonight’s #NovaEmber movie

Crimes of the Future

David Cronenberg body horror for sure. But it’s an odd, dark and sexual movie. I’m not even sure how to describe it. I think it’s probably the closest movie to his, much earlier, Videodrome. The design was incredibly immersive. If this was VR it would be a breakthrough. It’s something you experience more than understand.

Viggo Mortensen was excellent, as were Léa Seydoux and Kristen Stewart.

Flatliners (2017)

This is a remake of the 1990 classic. I’ve always loved that film. From the plot to the actors to the feel of it. And it was the first time I saw a NeXT cube.

This version is much more grounded in a real medical sense. The “occurrences” are fantastic and scary as hell. Overall, the story arc is the same. It’s also very cool that Kiefer Sutherland has a cameo.

I couldn’t get past 40 minutes. I tried to understand what the hell was going on, but it was opaque to me.

I don’t even feel like I can rate it as it wasn’t something I could “get”.
