zeitgeist57 Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 I only heard some by-lines saying this wasn’t too good. I just finished it and - while weird in places for sure - I enjoyed it. A little “Training Day”, “Lord of the Rings”, “Fifth Element”...worth a watch.

oh8sti Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 It got bad reviews because it’s a major actor with a major budget and is direct to consumer. This isn’t the first time it’s happened, but it’s only going to become more common the bigger Netflix/streaming companies get. Basically major Hollywood didn’t want this to be good, so they say it’s bad. Jokes on them - it was badass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGGU Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 I watched it but had to stop like 4-5 times through it due to being interrupted. I plan to sit down and watch it again. Plus now Ive got a 4k HDR OLED TV so I have a feeling it will be better this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 I enjoyed it. I haven't watched Altered Carbon yet, but will soon. Altered Carbon is definitely strange. We're 4-5 episodes in and while the action is pretty neat, you need to pay attention to the back story and how it plays into now. I like the actor because he was one of the main people in the Killing on AMC back in 2014/15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Altered Carbon looks interesting, I've been pretty into futuristic scifi books and shows lately, I'll have to check that out. I'm also excited to watch The Cloverfield Paradox; I really liked Covlerfield and 10 Cloverfield Lane was decent. I thought Bright was half way Ok. I didn't love or hate it, 'worth' the time, but I probably won't bother to watch it again. I will probably watch the second one when I don't have anything better that I'm motivated to do.

99StockGT Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 I accidentally ended up watching it the night it was released, hadn't heard anything about it before hand just auto loaded up as a Preview when I turned my Netflix on. Definitely worth the watch. Taking the racial issue out of human vs human and making it about other races was definitely a way to make it more palatable for a vast majority of people. This kind of production will become more and more common, also considerably quicker to get released I imagine without having to jump through all the normal Hollywood Hoops.

I was doing prep work for my kid's school Valentine's Day cards, so Bright was the perfect movie to have in the background whilst working on something else.

BStowers023 Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 I thought it was pretty good. Entertaining at least. Netflix is starting to come out with more and more movies. Rarely do they ever produce something that is just downright bad. If you haven't seen Beast of No Nation you need to watch that. Great movie produced by Netflix, one of if not their best IMO.

Zx2guy19 Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Will Smith is one of my favorite actors for whatever reason, so it was strange seeing him in a direct to consumer way like this. The movie was okay....like 6.8/10. Kind of corny, but overall a good story line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Will Smith is one of my favorite actors for whatever reason, so it was strange seeing him in a direct to consumer way like this. For me, the strangest thing was watching him in a role where he's a real dick. In general he was a good guy, but man did he treat Jakoby like shit in the beginning.

HotCarl Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 i liked it, but i like most sci fi stuff. I'm really interested in Cloverfield Paradox, I heard there was going to be a third and final movie in that series but nothing else. Apparently Netflix quietly bought the rights and made the movie, it was a total surprise when they released it last night after the superbowl. Pretty cool. There's no way traditional Hollywood could've done such a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Haven't seen it but let me guess. Will smiff is racist against that orc thing, they have a bonding experience and become friends, the end. Liv laff luv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's like saying "Haven't driven it but let me guess, the new Mustang has a more powerful engine, but it has Apple Carplay now. Vroom Vroom!"

Will smiff is racist against that orc thing, they have a bonding experience and become friends, the end. Liv laff luv More like the rest of society is racist agains Orcs, but Will has a legit conflict with the hatred for his partner...yes, he's an asshole, but in a "hooker with a heart of gold" kind of way. He doesn't like Jakoby but he's still got some respect and honor for his role (my take). Everything touching on racism was an interesting sub-plot...you get a sprinkling of why Orcs are hated, yet plays on other existing stereotypes. Made the storyline a little more interesting.
