Oh God that movie. I just couldn’t. No hobbitses. You have stamina

I give it 2.5 hobbits for it's lush visuals and costuming and it really does embody the spirit of steam punk. An Orwellian future dystopia with 19th C antiques and a bit of grunge.

also, I can still talk movies all day, just keep the new stuff for weekends.

Another thing I noticed about watching so many movies is that I don't have time to reflect on the art and meaning of what I see. Never went past short term memory. Movies are worthy of thought and should be watched in a good way.

Yeah true if you are being fair about it. I’m always suspicious after seeing the likes of Alita Battle Angel, Avatar, Speed Racer, Sucker Punch etc.. all stunning, all garbage.
