Question Film of The Year 2015

[Bodhi]

Finally saw Kinsman last night - epic fun, haven't laughed that hard in ages. Agree on the Church scene, probably the best of its kind since the lobby scene in The Matrix. Loads of great moments, and probably the best use of Land of Hope and Glory I've scene.

Also caught up on Avengers (very watchable) and Ted 2 (amusing, but nowhere near as funny as the first).

It's NOT St Augustine's though, right?

Watched Ex Machina last night. Interesting but I'm not sure if there was any point to the ending.

Think the point was that AI doesn't give a fuck about us.

 

[Jupitus]

I think I will have to say The Martian, for me.....

The point was "don't make sexbots you perv".

 

[ECA]

"Dont make sexbots that are smarter than you" would be a better point.

 

[Raven]

Changed my mind. If Dicaprio doesn't get an Oscar for The Revenant then Hollywood is utterly fucked. The camerawork is outstanding too.

Saving it to watch next week along w/ hateful eight.

 

[Trem]

The Big Short is an outstanding film. The Revenant also excellent and based on real events which is fucked up.

 

[Bigmac]

I'd say The Martian. It left me craving for more after it had finished, which a film rarely does that to me.

I've heard The Revenant is also good so I'll have to watch that soon.

 

[Shagrat]

Yep, people so easily forget Asimov's fourth law of robotics "robots should be hot or clever, but never both"

 

[Syri]

I think out of the films I have seen, I'd go with The Martian as well. It just has that bit more appeal to it, with the right balance of drama, humour and invention, all balanced out. I did enjoy a lot of the films I saw, but I think that one is more of a complete experience, rather than just a great action film, or a good example of sci-fi.

 

[Trem]

The Martian book which the film is based on is very good and goes into intricate detail on everything he does. Says my wife. I can't read.

 

[Tom]

I just watched Sicario. I've changed my mind, this takes top spot. What a great film.

Yes it does, it's a very good read and covers the science a lot more.

 

[Raven]

The BBC are reporting that The Martian won the Best comedy or musical award at the Golden globes...

er...was it supposed to be funny? I know a few bits were funnyish but I wouldn't call it a comedy and I certainly don't remember any singing.

Great film, but what?!

 

[Moriath]

Watched it last night. Some funny incidents good film. But some things were telegraphed and predictable.

I've always found the Golden Globes a bit of a joke. They've become an industry back-slapping event rather than an award for actual merit, even more so than the Oscars.

 

[Scouse]

I wouldn't have given it best film and it was played more for laughs than science. But still it's a bit of a stretch...

Brilliant film but made brilliant by Benicio.

 

[Deebs]

I recently watched this and thought it was absolutely awesome too, great acting, great story but Benicio stole the film for me.

 

[Deebs]

Brilliant film but made brilliant by Benicio.

Agreed.

Spoiler

When he finally meets up with the man that killed his family at the estate having tea with his wife and kids, just wow.

 

[Trem]

I just love how his intensity built throughout the film until like you said he got his revenge. Mind blowing performance.

 

[Jupitus]

I loved Sicario too.

Don't miss Creed - it's also excellent - surprisingly so.....

Oh god no, it was the worst in the franchise mate. Bordering on gay. I hated it

 

[Edmond]

Oh ffs sake @Jupitus you've started @Trem off on another 'franchise I hate' rant.....
