<mind blown>

I knew about the Raider of the Lost Ark, but didn't know the others.

watched silver linings playbook this weekend....so not what I thought it was going to be about.

we also watched epic...another movie that was nothing like I expected.

Anyone seen Gravity yet?

I made the mistake of looking at Rotten Tomatoes before I went to see it - all the stellar reviews raised my expectations too high. It was really good, though. Just not the defining moment in cinematic history that I was expecting from the reviews.

^The review from our admin was "It was great, but not worth the ten dollar admission. If I hadn't gotten free passes, I wouldn't have seen it."

Prices are ridiculous.

I heard it was 5-star rated. And the best way to see it was 3D IMAX. Which I'm guessing will carry a small fortune.

From the previews I saw before all the hype, my first impression was it looks stupid.

Agreed. Wasn't anything I was rushing out to see. But I may bow to the media hype and check it out. I haven't been to an IMAX in awhile.

I'd say it was worth it, but I kind of didn't have the optimal movie experience that I hoped for. I brought my 10 year old son, thinking that he could handle it. He has always been very interested in astronauts, the space shuttle and the ISS. But he was scared through the whole thing, and now no longer wants to be an astronaut....

So I really couldn't immerse myself in it like I wanted to, because I was worried about him. It really wasn't all that bad for a kid, except for a couple of "disturbing images", it was just really tense, and he didn't like that aspect of it. There's a lot in it for engineers to appreciate (some not so realistic, but far far better than any other movie I can think of in terms of realism and physics)

I like Tom Hanks, so I may be willing to give it a shot. But I'm still going in skeptical.

^Did I say Tom Hanks? Lol, got my movies mixed up--girlfriend wants to see George Clooney.

I want to see Captain Phillips.

Rented "this is the end" last night. Ehhhhh movie had a lot of potential with actors making fun I themselves but I still give it a C. One of those terrible movies you watch till the end to see how it ends... It has some funny moments but just not that many of them....

An the funny ones involve NKOTB!!!!

Olympus has Fallen-Horrible movie. Lousy special effects (aside from the C-130 crash), lousy plot, just lousy.

Super Troopers- Some good lines, but overall a waste of celluloid.

Agreed. CW just lost some cool points.

Or could be the case where you have to watch it again to pick up on some of the more funny parts. "CANDYBARS!!!"
