Gunpowder Milkshake (Netflix)

[Mr. Adventure]

Damn, I want to see the movie you all watched!

Maybe I'll give it another shot sometime, I really did want to like it but found it lacking on the first viewing.

 

[Unicron]

I loved it!

I give it eight and three-quarters stars.

It's definitely a tad on the silly side, perhaps in part due to having Emily as a protagonist. And the pace of the movie is fairly rapid, so in some ways I kind of wish the more serious aspects had been given more depth. But I enjoyed it overall.

I will say that, although I'm not overly familiar with Karen's work on programs like Dr. Who, she made a great villain as Nebula in the Marvel films. I think one strength is she has the right sort of range for the role of Sam, someone who's good at heart but perhaps a little broken inside. Who has Scarlet's ruthless killer instinct when she needs it.

Oh, and, Lena Heady leaping off the library reception desk blasting bad guys with guns in both hands to save her little girl? Epic.

 

[Starkers]

It is! That's how I saw it.

Yeah it isn't on Netflix in the UK until later in the year unfortunately.

 

[John Clark]

I think I saw that it was heading to the cinema first in the UK
(17th September - and Sky at the same time)

Boo. I hate that shit. I'm sorry.

I don't get region locking your own IP.

 

[The Grinch Doctor]

Don't get me started on region locking (Starkers has read that rant more than a few times regarding Doctor Who...).
