I liked it too but I hate that they used the original novel title... they didn't use that much of the source material ...
Probably could have been called 11/11/18 or some such...
Oh... this is a book! I had no idea. Oh I hate when movies don't use the source material. Irritates me to no end. Especially if the book was really good and you go into a movie or show knowing what you want to see and well. The creative minds behind the camera on the writers are "hold my beer, this is MY movie or show!".
All Quiet on the Western is a classic novel. One of my favorites.
Kind of surprised you weren't aware of it...
They used a few things from the book but the new film was a different, and compelling, tale.
The original film, made in 1930, was pretty much taken straight from the novel:

still a bad movie
they maybe tried to push a level that did not work with me,
maybe the right like this formula.
I edited this message after watching the second time
which means sam dean did not like comment.

Had no idea! I will add this to my queue! Thanks!
Just saw this, I really enjoyed it. Sad too with all the footage of Boseman 😢
Atomic Blonde (2017)
Was there in the day and retain a small part of the wall. Was a place and a time to be, I make no bones about that...

Watching the 2009 classic The Proposal. Interestingly, almost every country has the lead actors in different poses for their respective localized posters.
Prometheus (2012)
Really interesting & intelligently thought out provoking tangent, sadly only to be followed up by the all too weak Alien: Covenant (2017). The original Alien of 1979 remains to be one of the best science fiction films ever produced, never gets old...
Difficult to top this Alien (1979)
In the extreme. If you want to experience, play Alien Isolation in the dark, I whish you well on your path...
I play the game with a mod that increases the tether range of the xenomorph, yet also increases it's inquisitively & hostility. Makes for a very interesting play I assure as the hunt is most definitely on...

I was really excited after first watching Prometheu, not only did I enjoy it as a outstanding prequel, I thought an exciting new path lay ahead “I’m going to find out why the Engineers want to kill us” and then in Covenant the door of epicness was slammed shut as Elizabeth Shaw was short changed in her ambition and the story became a convoluted narrative that was more frustrating than enjoyable or intriguing. Instead of the story focusing on humans and engineers, it became a story about a murderous, sinister Android which I would not mind that as a side show, but not the main event.

A wonderful movie,
an exciting premise/narrative that offers hope for the human species.
Think Ridley Scott still has the eye, but has lost the art of storytelling. While Covenant was executed very well on a technical level it simply didn't engage. A bunch of clueless *******s in space.I was really excited after first watching Prometheu, ot only did I enjoy it as a outstanding prequel, I thought there was an exciting new path lay ahead “I’m going to find out why the Engineers want to kill us” and then in Covenant the door of epicness was slammed shut as Elizabeth Shaw was short changed in her ambition and the story became a convoluted narrative that was more frustrating than enjoyable or intriguing.

The real magic of the original Alien is it's mystery and Scott doing this kind of thing is heart breaking as the original film is so very seminal. I don't want the Alien to be explained, I want it to be mysterious and absolutely terrifying...
That all said is just maybe not his genre, as The Last Duel was very good. Lightening in a bottle and all, but Alien & Blade Runner he absolutely nailed Sci-Fi...

I still remember the ending..and the two of them sitting there...and that MUSIC!
I thought it was excellent. Especially as 'she' seemed to be trying to fit in.....
A little late to the party... but was finally able to catch "A Star Is Born" with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga... WOW. What a freaking movie. The last ten minutes is pretty gut wrenching when you see the thought already going through his head... Especially when he is getting talked to by the other producer and then her. Great movie IMHO.
