Lexx, 1996. Movie length pilot for the TV series. Dystopian with a capital ‘D’, it was a bit like Red Dwarf, but without the PG rating. Will watch the rest of the series.

I think the title of the thread should be changed to something like "Tell us what you thought of the film that you watched last night" because just knowing that you watched it isn't very interesting!! 
What do think, @Moderators?

I think that the requirement that you must have watched it specifically last night is too restrictive. What if you watched it yesterday afternoon? Or the night before last?
And what if you only finished watching half an hour ago, but it was so good you couldn't wait to tell everyone?
It's going to end up in anarchy.

Like Years, I had no idea what to expect and I certainly wasn't disappointed. I don't want to give anything away, but some of the scenes are unbelievably batsh!t yet fit perfectly. The focus is on Jimmy (who's easily the seediest character I've seen in a while) the doctor and Samson, which is what the audience wanted I think.
Expands on a lot of things, but doesn't feel like they're going overboard with it and looking to endlessly extend the franchise which has been the downfall of many horror series. One more would do it, and I believe it's in development

Wow - that's unexpectedly positive! (I haven't even seen "Years" yet. It sounds good, but the first two films are SUCH a hard act to follow, one can't help being pessimistic ... )

F1 the movie. Starring Brad Pitt. 5/10. Lewis Hamilton co-produced it, and you get the feeling that he's chosen all the product placements, and the soundtrack. Brad Pitt puts in a strong performance but the rest of the cast (apart from the irish tech lady and Javier Bardem) are just decoration. The story follows most racer type movies e.g. Top Gun, Days of Thunder, and Cars!

I avoided everything going into it but inevitably a headline popped up saying it was better than Days... I wouldn't say that like, but it's a seriously good film.
What sticks out for me about all of them is that there are scenes and lines which are lodged in my brain, whether they're brutal, clever or funny; they all have a "moment" (or several). I don't think there's many film series which maintain that consistency and interest.
Banging soundtrack too.
I thought it was OK but very predictable and formulaic. Pitt though as charismatic as ever and no I'm not being sarcastic!

The Rip (2026) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rip_(film)
Good cast who have made some really good films but this isn't one of them. Netflix and low budget and it shows both in the story (cheap to film, easy cheap sets, etc.). Fairly obvious storyline, all fairly predictable. Bit of a waste if time and shows how streaming companies are focxusing on quantity rather than quality.

I thought it was decent, but certainly no more than that.
Can't put my finger on why it disappointed me. Maybe that the red herrings were obvious?
