Had the opportunity to attend the crew and press release screening of the film and it was awesome. They had a LOT of the props on sale with actors walking around in full costumes.

Overall the movie is fine, but the VFX are amazing.

Gareth Edwards desperately needs a screenwriting partner.

Visually spectacular but a narrative mess, this film would have worked much better as a limited series.

That's pretty cool. I really enjoyed this film. I only wish there had been a more serious marketing campaign so it could succeed and possibly get money for a sequel. I don't think that was ever intended, but the story could lead to so much more.

Great vfx, cinematography, and directing. Gareth Edwards shows his talent in this one. Story is a vehicle for the eye candy here, though.

Yeah I didn't even know this movie existed until a few months ago and still haven't watched it.

I hate advertising but when you take a step back from it, you really just don't know about new things.

Movie looks terrific and the VFX are top-tier and the way they filmed it with relatively cheap prosumer cameras is a great story, but the movie's plot is painfully lame and nonsensical* and Hollyweird needs to stop trying to make John David Washington happen cuz he's never going to happen. He proves is that charisma isn't a heritable trait.


* Examples of dumbness - SPOILER ALERT!!!

- Why does the floating battlestation shine X-ray targeting grids on the ground and why is it sometimes so low that it'd be in the blast radius of the nukes it drops?
- The kid is supposed to be the Ultimate Robot Weapon, but her power level is basically that of a Clapper.
- Why make it a kid instead of an adult with all the features active?

I really enjoyed this movie. Finally something is that is not a remake or a sequel.

Good VFX but the plot is nonsense. For the same feel, I enjoyed Mortal Engines much more

The moment you say 'Hollyweird' in earnest I know immediately that I can stop listening to you.

When I look on Amazon it says $7.99 and it's crossed out because of my credits, but that's $3 more. Is anyone else seeing the same?

We saw it during a special premiere. It was a halfway decent movie, with a meh storyline. I doubt I will ever rewatch it, even for free.

It was a decent movie. Well directed and with excellent overall production quality.

In my opinion, the problem with this movie (in the sense why it wasn't a financial hit) is the same as that for another recent high budget sci-fi movie 'Mickey 17'. Both movies had lesser quantity of action than what it looked like from the respective trailers. They both had more of an introspective thought-provoking angle to them; which by itself is not bad โ€” just that it was not in line with audience expectations. Both movies were somewhat depressing (iI.e. had a sad undertone throughout). I felt in both cases the marketing was slightly incongruent with the end product. That severely limits word of mouth, and widespread audience appeal. Such high concept sci-fi rarely sells, and usually needs to have lighter themes or a fun element. And if you are dealing with sober themes, the budget should be in line with the source material. Of course, I'm talking in generalizations and there are exceptions to every rule. But I felt both movies were way over-budgeted than what the respective stories warranted.
