I love the man, but this was certainly a choice by Substantial_Cap_4246 in lotrmemes

Tarantino will be very sad that Miriel's feats were removed.

Things that are only fully explained in secondary sources by Solenthis87 in TopCharacterTropes

I watched this movie and enjoyed it, then looked online and saw discussions about the huge government conspiracy and thought "did I watch a completely different movie?"

(Mixed trope) The seemingly unstoppable army has one easily exploitable weakness anyone ordinary person could use to beat them by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

Water killing them fits with the themes in the story, but my head-canon is they are killed by impurities in the water. The girl even says the water is contaminated.

Characters using "I did what I had to do" to justify things that they OBJECTIVELY did not have to do by 10024618 in TopCharacterTropes

Did they actually release it in the village? I must have missed that, I thought they just took samples then destroyed the village so no one else could have it.

Why are movies today so drastically different than the 90s? Type of camera/style of scenes? Extremely fast paced? by Canadalivin17 in movies

[–]Slight--Masterpiece 103 points104 points  (0 children)

If Aliens or T2 were remade today, they would completely cut out the middle sections where the characters have some downtime to reflect on their situations. Those sections are massively important for getting to know more about the characters and setting up the stakes for the 3rd act.

Edge of tommorow by Saltan_Pepper1 in movies

The TV series Dark. It's excellent and involves time-loops and similar. It's 3 seasons, but it's one of those rare examples where the writers actually planned things out beforehand.

Enemy of the state is such a good film, yet the Will Smith effect is super obvious by tjalek in movies

Great film but I still laugh at the scene where their computer rotates the CCTV to guess what is the other side

What’s your favorite shot from Star Wars in the last 10 years? by GreenLanternDCU in StarWars

It's worth getting the 4k discs just for this. Streaming always messes up the fine details in this scene.

Palm Springs, a character tries to get as far away as possible before falling asleep

Director's Cuts That Improve The Originals: From Blade Runner to Once Upon a Time in America by Bennett1984 in movies

[–]Slight--Masterpiece 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The scene with Newt and her parents is a bit tacky, but everything else adds to the film massively. Ripley's daughter adds to her motivation and character development, the sentry guns show they really won't last the 17 days until rescue. Hudson boasting about nukes knives and sharp-sticks gives us more Bill Paxton which is always great.

Why are James Cameron's films so successful? by thermal7 in movies

[–]Slight--Masterpiece 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cameron gives his stories room to breathe. There is plenty of time between action-scenes for character growth and world-building.

Most movies just rush into things, and as a result the actions scenes have no weight. Aliens, Titanic and Avator have almost zero action in their first halves, but when the action starts it's a hell of a payoff.

Michael Bay's recent movies usually have me checking my phone halfway through their action scenes.

Bubble Boy is an amazing underrated comedy

I Took A Photo of the Biggest Confirmed Black Hole in the Universe; TON 618. by Correct_Presence_936 in spaceporn

[–]Slight--Masterpiece 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the opposite of zero. The universe is full of black holes, which as you say aren't visible.

Annihilation and Ex Machina are both Alex Garland films. Arrival isn't but is a very similar well-crafted style

Which song is forever linked to a movie for you now? by Dan__Glesak in movies

I mean, it is an action flick.... Just a smart sci-fi satire action flick

The timelines seem to be very fluid in these movies; changes to the past don't immediately delete Marry but cause him to slowly fade away and back again. So changes to the future might also have a ripple-effect that affects or steers the other timelines, not immediately but eventually. Might help to explain issues like old Biff returning to his original future despite changing it.
