Ex Machina.

Totally different pace than T2, but similar theme and great production and talent in writing, acting, etc...

^^^^^"Honey..."

> It also (and this is most crucial "proof") explains the news over the radio at the end of the movie that an ancient method of killing the creatures has been found “in three small cities in the Middle East” –-which one would suspect are likely the religious “hubs” of the three main Abrahamic traditions, each discovering the “mystic methods” of protection-and-dispatch that I’ve noted earlier.

Even outside the religious framework, the radio provides a key bit of context that makes the aliens actions a bit more understandable for the "but why would they settle on a planet full of water!" folks.

The radio guest says that he believes the aliens weren't looking to conquer the planet; but rather, that they were there to "harvest" humans. The guest goes on to describe how other families were dragged away to the alien's ships, presumably to be used as slaves on their homeworld. Pretty grim bit of dialogue that's easy to miss.

You and I are like polar opposites! Lol

came here to suggest this as well. really good one

"The latest Star Wars and Avengers are basically becoming kids movies"

Always have been.

Have you seen Rushmore?

Since I could never get that first experience I had with The Chaser I'd rather rewatch The Wailing.

You might also enjoy I Know This Much Is True, a 6-hour miniseries on HBO, in which Mark Ruffalo plays a pair of identical twins. I'm halfway through it now. It's very emotionally intense, and Ruffalo renders the different personalities of the two brothers magnificently.

Better than Ben

I’ve never seen this, but the plot and cast seem promising. Thank you stranger!

PTSD and mental illness set in after maxs day with vincent. It's been years since that day. The road to recovery has been hard but things are just now getting back to normal. Max picks up a fare, soon to discover he's in for yet another long night. Little did his fare know, max has been training this entire time incase this happened again. Max goes along with it, pretending for the majority of the movie until a switch flips, revealing he's been waiting for this. He's either gonna die tonight, or find out who hired the fare in hopes of stopping whatever they have planned for the evening. Plot twist, the fare is related to vincent, knows max and there is no plan. No one hired him. They just want to meet the man that killed vincent. They surprise each other, reminiscing over moments they shared with vincent. Max is brought to realize how much he's changed since he met vincent. He owns his business, drives limos, is no longer scared to live. Maybe he even dated Jada for a few years until he had enough of her crazy ass. Even in the presence of another hitman, he's no longer scared.

Ultimately the two face off against each other. The fare has to be played by a big actor. I'd love to see someone as huge as tom cruise. Like christain bale? An intense actor that can really chew it up with dialog.

I think you’ll find you’re in the minority here. But I respect your opinion.

I watched it on a plane. It was a bad idea. Michelle Williams man. I sobbed, like uncontrollably. Not awesome at altitude.

"You can't just die!"

Her.

The scene where they ran into each other on the street just wrecked me.

The performances from the two leads were just amazing. It takes some guts to be so vulnerable that it moves people so much.

There's a two part episode of Deep Space 9 called Past Tense that takes place in 2024 that feels really close.

I still think about that movie all the time. I think Banshees will have the same effect on me, I think about that movie almost every day since I’ve seen it

KtS has lots of good stuff in it, Assassination is just on a whole other transcendent level of filmmaking

I mean t2 was such a classic. I think there’s other excellent sci fi genre movies, but nothing that will be as memorable to this generation as t2 was to yours (ours). There wasn’t a ton of sci fi selection back then, and T2 really stood out just due to its excellent plot and Arnold. There’s a ton of good sci fi out there now, but there’s so much that I think it’s difficult to get one that will ever stand out the way t2 did.

Love his performance here too https://youtu.be/FSvNhxKJJyU

I love that movie. It’s depressing, yet very funny

One of my top movies ever. Seen it maybe four times. You’re right he’s amazing in it and actually after seeing him in that I watched a lot of his other movies. He was incredible in MBTS. You could feel his pain in every scene.
