Yeah, they made the scene look very important, but then he just drives up to the same building from earlier in the movie. I don't think the journalist did anything.
It would be a short movie if he blew up all the cars right away :D
Just watched it an hour ago. There is a very clear tunnel scene:
1:15:43, they enter a storage building in Mexico
1:15:47, they open a hatch to an underground tunnel
1:15:53, they walk through the tunnel
1:15:55, there is a shot of the border wall, implying they are walking under it
1:16:02, they open a hatch in another, abandoned storage building
1:16:16, they open up crates that have all kinds of weapons
1:16:19, they gear up in fast cuts
1:16:23, the entire group walks out the building, all geared up
1:16:28, they are driving as a convoy in the night
1:17.01, the convoy is near Rambo's house in daylight
Funnily, I just discovered it the next day. I think I had a faint memory of it being planned, but wasn't aware it was actually almost ready.
Well, I think his character's actions in the movie were fairly realistic. He didn't do half marathons, sprints or mountain climbing as a pensioner. And didn't magically recover from the beating, pulling out an IV the next morning.
Yeah, you can even see him giddyup on a horse and start for the mountains in the end of the movie, during the credits montage.
I wouldn't mind a re-make, as long as it is done properly and without Stephen King in the crew :) Why? Check out The Mist, vs. your average King adaptation. It's much better, because King was not in the crew for that movie. He has a habit of ruining film adaptations of his stories, for some reason.
Something like a 6 - 10 episode miniseries, along the lines of Band of Brothers. Enough to have some breathing space, but not too long to become long-winded. The book has tons of good material, which needs time. It is impossible to make a Lord of the Rings style trilogy from it - it needs a longer and more contained format, especially since it deals with events spread across a long time period in-universe. If I remember, it was more than 1 year altogether?
The 1994 miniseries was a good 6,5 - 7 out of 10, but it can be done a lot better. I guess I also wouldn't mind it being again shifted forward to say the year 2010 - or even right on 2020 and maybe tie it to Corona.
Well, it would just need to behave like Corona does: The infected are extremely infectious and mostly asymptomatic during the incubation period. In that case, a virus will spread very quickly.
Once the infection has spread, it wouldn't matter if the previous infected die quickly, because it already has multiple new asymptomatic spreaders.
Also known as having a large R0:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_reproduction_number
R0 of 3 means each infected will spread the virus to 3 new targets.
Ludicrous as it is, since they were all boasting "Did you really think we need you to kill giants?"
Shitty writing.
Well, it might feel misplaced if you think of the word in the "military" sense, ie. large-scale destruction.
But annihilation is also a technical term:
[quote]the conversion of matter into energy, especially the mutual conversion of a particle and an antiparticle into electromagnetic radiation.
to vanish or cease to exist by coming together and changing into other forms of energy (such as photons)[/quote]
Which is what this movie is about.
Well, one of the "points" of the movie was growing from a single cell into multiples.
Kane alone = oine cell
Kane + Lena = two cells
Their possible offspring (say, two of them) = four cells
etc.
Until eventually (depending on their lifetime/cycle), the entire world could end up being populated by Shimmer cells.
Actually now even more (all?) will come after him, since after giving the finger to the Arab dude, his price tag will probably be something ridiculous.
Definitely. But what I found completely absurd - it actually almost pissed me off - was that the movie basically goes nowhere. The entire events of the movie could have been skipped and John Wick would be in the exact same situation. He is still excommunicado, Winston manages the Continental, the new dog is still there, and nothing has changed in the world - they are all still after John Wick for a price tag, because he dishonored the one shot the Arab dude gave him to live again, which he threw away without batting an eye.
So basically John Wick 4 will begin just like John Wick 3 - the whole world against him alone. From now on, the only result is that the entire Assassin's Guild lies dead.
Thankfully, none of that happened when I watched it.
Uuhh... Didn't Bruce say he went on a date, and referred to the datee as "he"?
Charlize Theron!
Yeah, they were around in a lot of countries starting from early 1990s. The first one according to Wikipedia was started in South Korea all the way back in 1988.
This movie implies they've been doing the cloning for quite some time before they moved operations to Isla Nublar. And of course, on Nublar, they already had a huge collection of finished dinosaurs. I don't think they come out of the tube as adults, so they must have been cloning them already several years before moving to the island in 1993. Based on some timeline sites I checked, they cloned the first living dinosaur in 1984. But the same sites reference her cloning to have happened in 2009, making the clone 9 year old in Fallen Kingdom.
So, to piece it together:
She was probably originally born about 1989 and died sometime around 1998. Her DNA was used to clone her in 2009 and her clone would be the aforementioned 9 years old in this movie. The picture in the movie shows a ~20 years younger Iris with a 9 year old Maisie, so probably around 1998, hence being born in 1989.
There is no topping Julianne Moore.
Pretty much in the release order, with a huge gap between Lost World and JP3 onwards.
