Somewhat interesting movie. All I can say is that it is very complicated. Essentially 6 different stories using the same actors set in different times and places, and the movie jumps back and forth between them continuously. It too me about 30 minutes of total confusion before I was really able to keep track of it all. The movie clocks in at 3 hours, and by the end of the movie one can pretty easily figure it out. This movie requires a lot of concentration.
There were a few very funny scenes in the movie, some serious scenes, and some action. It was all over the map. The only part I did not like is that one of the timelines used broken English for all the dialog. It is hard enough keeping track of 6 different plots where the story can jump every 30 seconds at some points in the movie to throw in having to translate horribly broken English. Add in a few flashbacks to the various stories as they are being told and your head could explode.
I did enjoy the movie, I saw it in IMAX. But, now I almost feel like I have to see it again to really understand it now that I have the various timelines figured out.
The man getting injured by "pussy" has to be one of the most unexpectedly funny scenes I have seen in a long time
Well I went and saw it again, just so this time I could watch it and not get so tied up trying to keep track of it all. It is better the second time through since you know what is going on and have a chance to see many more details that were just missed the first time through because it was so confusing.
It is a good movie, but I would probably recommend waiting for the video since you have to watch it a couple times.
It seems intriguing to me just from watching the trailers.They were reviewing it on the radio the other day,and said it was very complicated but an enjoyable watch.Of course,much like most movies derived from books it would be better to read it.
I will not see it and will wait for it to come on T.V Thanks for sharing and everyones opinion I had a few friends see it iver the weekend and they said it sucked

I really only liked 3 of the 6 storylines: the 1975 nuclear power plant scandal, the An Orison of Sonmi~451 about a replicant from 2144, The Ghastly Ordeal of Timothy Cavendish set in 2012 (very funny).
Letters from Zedelghem from 1931 a story of a young composer was ok.
The Pacific Journal of Adam Ewing (1850) and Sloosha's Crossin' an' Ev'rythin' After (far future) just did not appeal to me.
Apple has finally released their Apple TV 4K with built-in Siri and a microphone so it can respond to your queries even if you don't have the remote. It also increases in price, to $299. I had been planning on updating my current Apple TV 4K streamers, but that's $600 for the two of them, and that's a pass at this point.
At $299, it had better come with 256 GB of Storage, Gigabit (or better) Ethernet, the latest HDMI tech and standards, and one year of free Apple One. But it probably won't…
Not a bit. IMO, Apple's are slow to boot up. Time is about the same with 1st gen and 3rd. Roku runs rings around them in that department. I only reason I stuck, is the Apple infrastructure, which has it's definite advantages. But $300 is a deal breaker. Later, Apple!
they all do that anyways.. ever notice your cell phone slows down when you come up for an upgrade.. . apple's been making money off of software and not hardware for a while
No. Makes me wonder if that is Apple or the carrier. I am on pre-paid, so I never get "an upgrade." I still have my old iPhone 11 Pro as a second line, and it runs iOS 27 just fine. My iPhone Air, which is still a current model, doesn't really seem that much faster in regular use. It is better in other ways, and worse in some ways than the 11 Pro (size), but performance really isn't a big differentiator, especially since I replaced the battery in the 11 Pro. If I had gotten enough storage when I originally bought the 11 Pro, it could still be my primary device with no issues.

Yeah, they boot up a bit slower than Roku, but the OS does a lot more, so it makes sense. How often are you booting them up that is a differentiator? Aside from OS updates, mine are on all the time. I will say the ATV4K is generally quicker than the Roku Ultras I have, when it comes to launching apps and responsiveness, not that the Roku is sluggish.
But.....if you like Tulsa King....looks like you would probably like this as well. I don't mind spin-offs as long as they don't involve a sassy niece who moves from the big city
I thought I would come here and find lots of complaints about the update to the dish anywhere mobile app, but am not seeing any. It used to look just like the desktop webpage. Now you can no longer filter by sports channels or movie channels. Plus that they made it look like a big button telephone and you see fewer channels in the screen which requires more scrolling. Yes I realize you can look at sports then select which sport you want to look at, I just liked being able to see all sporting events in the guide with all other channels being filtered out. Am I alone in the wilderness on this?
I'm not a big fan of the new layout, especially on my Apple TV. It used to look like the old Guide layout on the Hopper 3, but they changed parts of that, too.
Might be worth a watch when it comes out. Looks like typical big corp against the little guy movie BUT....there is a reason this plot type is so oft repeated, it draws audiences.
BTW, I noticed right after I posted this that someone else had already mentioned it....sorry for the duplicate thread. Still looking forward to seeing the movie.
Forgot to comment. I did watch when it first came out on MGM. I enjoyed it a lot. I think reading the book made it easier to watch. Several friends commented it was a little hard to follow.
I agree. That can go for pretty much any book vs movie. Back when I was single I would read any Stephen King or John Grisham book I could get my hands on. When you read a book you make up the scenes and characters in your mind.....the movie version always disappoints.
