The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
I just bought this for 10 bucks at target so I could watch it again. i liked it okay the first time, but this easily gets my vote for most overrated movie of 2015, if not all time.
Seriously, how the hell is this up for best picture?? I need someone to explain it to me. i was hoping LV would love it and be able to break it down why its good.
What is the plot? The dialogue is ridiuclous. The editing is dizzying, the guitar flame thrower is LOL even if it is for a brief second. The costumes are way over the top. I, i, i dont know. I was really hoping to like this movie and other than it being somewhat interesting visually....

People's arguments in favor of it tend to be along the lines of "OMG IT'S SO FUCKING BADASS AND AWESOME HELL YEAH FLAMETHROWER GUITAR!!!!! "

You guys just don't get the struggle of living in a dystopian desert future.
Didnt look like much of a struggle though. They had all sorts of awesome cars and weapons and endless supplies of gas. They didnt even need to eat anything!

I haven't seen too many of the contenders this year, but I'd love it if this won. It'd be such a funny fuck you to all the self-important Academy members who think Eddie Redmayne is turning in some really profound performances.
Also, I'm Team Ruddo on this one. I loved this movie.

His performance in The Danish Girl looks about on par with his performance in Jupiter Ascending.
Guys, I am not a moderator! I swear to God! Why does everyone think I'm a moderator?

I'm being serious when I say his performance in Jupiter Ascending was by far his best. There is no way that he was that "bad" without giving it some effort. Outstanding.

I actually bought this movie and need to find time to watch it again. It's been sitting on my shelf with inside out, interstellar, the 4 alien movies, and something else that was also on sale at target

Lol yeah you don't get it. Did you think it was crazy that people were driving around in giant gas guzzling muscle cars in a world with little gasoline, too?

It's called a conceit. If you can't get on board with it, then you can't get on board with it. It has little to do with the movie's quality, though. It's like watching Moulin Rouge and wondering why everyone keeps singing their feelings with perfectly choreographed dance numbers. It's just a conceit you have to buy into. Otherwise just go home.
It's supposed to be over the top. As I've said before, Miller is a master visual storyteller (ie filmmaker) and this is no different. Everything from the costumes to the stunts to the ridiculous boys vs girls plot reinforce this. It's a ridiculous movie that's meant to be ridiculous and its executed ridiculously well. The fact that LV didn't like it should only prove my point.
