That movie look like it was made in the 80s and released in the 2000s. It was not my experience it was all that great but maybe I was looking at it wrong

Yea which is why i thought it would be terrible but liked it

The 2009 Astro Boy movie was surprisingly decent. Had no expectations and was pleasantly surprised.

And since we are on the subject of Tezuka adaptations that punch way above their first impressions, the 2001 Rintarou version of Metropolis got mixed reviews at the time but kicks all sorts of ass.

"The Grey" is the first thing to pop into my head.

The stupid meme worthy part is the way wolves are presented as a threat in the movie is so over the top like old childrens folklore level omnipresent coked out superwolves with a 100 mile killing radius stripping the territory all threatening life larger than a squrrel and enough intelligence for tactical strategizing to pick an entire group of men 1 by 1.

The way everything else is executed is what turns it around. The cinematography and the emotional human story of the main character guys motivations and interactions with the res5 of the group is fun. It makes it a good watch to spend an hour or two of your life on. The cast has some bangers and the acting is great.

Alaska. SW prequels. There's also the Soviet movie "Until first blood", where kids play "Zarnitsa" and learn something.

Alien Resurrection is low key great and philosophically engaging movie.

Last year's The Beekeper starring Jason Statham was honestly the best action movie I've seen in years. Phenomenal movie

We were having a movie night in our neighborhood a few years back where we got a bedsheet a cheap projector and hooked it up to a laptop to projevt a movie on someone's garage for the neighborhood kids.

We ended up projected The Lego Movie and most of the kids lost interest about half an hour in - and were falling asleep and ready to go home.

I'll be damned if it wasn't one of the best animated movies I've ever seen. I sent my wife home with our youngest just so I could stay and finish the movie.
