Preferred the 4th to the third film. Also think is what people wanted to see more of with the Future War. Worst was Genesis with Dark Fate right on it's heels.

Yeah it was bad, sorta like zach synder light, the sooner DC can distance themselves from him the better.I apologize but Black Adam (2022)- NO, just no, another DC miss, and that god aweful music made me want to put ear plugs and turn on closed captioning.

shame how they (movie hogs) are so careless in producing Marvel comics into movies that bad.I apologize but Black Adam (2022)- NO, just no, another DC miss, and that god aweful music made me want to put ear plugs and turn on closed captioning.
personally I stop watching marvel after I think 1999 antman or that spiderman3.
Yeah. Different to the usual Hammer House of Horror fair of the day, equally follows the classic tale predictably and to many extents faithfully.
Free on Tubitv so nothing to loose, isn't fast paced by any means, but the thrills are there. I like the slow burn. Not the worst nor the best, but well worth a watch if into the genre.

My wife and I watched Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade last night. I really liked this movie.
Well, it you got free streaming you could...watch it and decide.
Marvel clearly is a step above DC, but that might not be enough. If I have the phase number correct, Marvel phase 4 has mostly been unsatisfying. I’m having some trepidation over the upcoming Guardians…

The Day (2011)

A great post apocalyptic horror/thriller. Pulls no punches with some interesting twists and turns. Presents a very interesting use of colour which adds to the overall flavour of the film...
It's atmospheric & moody. Little reminiscent of The Divide and The Road being of a daker tone. TBH I recomend all three if into post apocalyptic films, although I find The Road to be the harder watch.
If you want real fear watch Threads, The Day After, The War Game, The Bedford Incident, By Dawns Early Light, Fail Safe 64 & Fail Safe 2000...
Some were banned for public viewing for well over a decade being far too close to the truth at hand...

For myself, The Road was one of those only need to bear it once movies.
Fail Safe I first watched when I was 11 years old and it’s blazed into my brain.
I assume you've seen Dr Strangelove.For myself, The Road was one of those only need to bear it once movies.
Unfortunately for "Fail Safe" they came out about the same time it didn't have the same punch.
Funny you should mention this as I've just been watching a fair bit on Britbox and yesterday took a little trip down memory lane with Threads...
Last watched it in I guess 1983 when I was in my last years at school. At the time our house backed onto an old disused airfield that wasn't to be built on as it was apparently 'vital to to the nations security', as my dad said - if you see anything military turn up let me know and we'll jump in the car as otherwise we're stuffed. He thought it would have been an ideal place to deploy all those new cruise missiles that were coming in and being based not too far away. Mind we were pretty stuffed anyway as we completely surrounded by Us air bases and it was common knowledge that the 'top secret' USAF 'bomb dump' wasn't far up the motorway. I often thought we would end it all in bright flash stuck in a traffic jam!
I read the Road long before I saw the film and was always impressed by the novelty of the book until I read Riddley Walker by Russel Hoban (1982) so similar in age to Threads etc etc. Tremendous book - I also really like a Canticle for Leibowitz too. Both really recommended if you haven't read them, I'm surprised that at the least Canticle hasn't been made into a film.
Thought it was a decent film and worth watching, but surprised at all the awards etc as didn't think it as anything like as good as the original or even the previous remake as it lost the point of the book to my mind.
Just to add - if I remember correctly I think it was in English (or very well dubbed)

Mid 80's we were real close. Then Chernobyl taught all a very substancial lesson, thankfully so...
November 1989 the "Berlin Wall" fell, 1991 the USSR dissolved. Somewhere still have a piece of the "Wall" sleeping peacefully in a box

Well, DS was a dark comedy about the ridiculousness/insanity of the nuclear arms race, and the Cold War in general. I loved Col Ripper, General Turgidson, and the Rusky‘s secret Doomsday machine that they did not bother to tell anyone about, good for some nervous laughs.
I grew up with the school drills to get under your desk and kiss your ass goodbye, although I did not realize that at the time, thinking it might help.
Fail Safe spoilers-
Fail Safe was grounded in a scenario where a nuclear war was very possible and sacrifices had to be made to avoid armageddon. As an 11 year old in 1964, the special effects were meager, but the Mission Commander’s wife begging him to turn back, the high level Russian who refused to cooperate with the Americans, the description of the US Ambassador to Moscow, about lights followed by the shriek his phone melting, followed by the decision of the President (Henry Fonda), and the dutiful general who carried out his mission, then committed suicide, not to mention the fate of a second major metropolis shook me to my core

Great interpretation on the Predator universe. A lesson on how not to break a franchise, Something others need to learn; Alien, Star Wars, Terminator etc...

Finally saw this last night, I loved this movie!
I thought this was original, FUN and a wake up call to those who should not meddle with minds.
Oh Brandon gets his Oscar™ we hope!
I never finished watching this movie, I need to wrap myself in a chair, and watch
no light electrical or windows open just me and this flick.
