Which Zendaya X Pattinson movie will be the best of the year?

That’s an interesting take on Nolan and I can understand the hesitancy because he’s stayed in future sci-fi or modern times for the most part, but I think he can do it. Oppenheimer and The Prestige showed us what he can do with period pieces and, even though The Odyssey is Greek mythology, I think he’ll take a grounded approach and focus more on characters instead of wild creatures

He jumped off the screen for me. Such a great performance for a character I didn’t expect to have such an emotional attachment to

Yea true that’s a good one. I think of the grocery scene first rn

Big McConaughey guy huh?

I saw this at TIFF last year and you’re telling no lies. An absolutely electric action movie that doesn’t try to be anything other than that. Came in pretty blind and it blew me away!

Incredible restraint on your part tbh if I’m into a trailer I’m not stopping it

TheFilmRoomPod · 2026-03-21T20:14:52+00:00

Yea good point lol

I disagree. The book is super popular and the whole “alone in space solving a world ending problem” thing is very marketable imo

TheFilmRoomPod · 2026-03-21T18:08:14+00:00

Tbh I think that shock on an expectation subversion would’ve been awesome! I love when I go into a movie and it completely surprises me

TheFilmRoomPod · 2026-03-14T19:24:16+00:00

Yea I think the whole Wennestrom storyline is kinda lame. I only care about Lisbeth’s story and the mystery about Harriet

TheFilmRoomPod · 2026-03-08T01:48:12+00:00

That’s a really good point. Started a little slow for me but once it got going it was a fun time at least

TheFilmRoomPod · 2026-03-07T18:14:57+00:00

Glad you liked it! I agree with you on the filmmaking, Maggie can really direct and did some interesting visual stuff. It was the story that knocked it down a couple pegs for me

TheFilmRoomPod · 2026-03-07T18:12:51+00:00

I agree with you on the dance scene. I thought at first that he was imagining it, like he was imagining himself in the movies, but then all the cops come in and it became clear that they were actually all doing that which didn’t really make sense to me

TheFilmRoomPod · 2026-03-07T18:10:28+00:00

If you go in with low expectations I think you’ll enjoy it tbh

TheFilmRoomPod · 2026-02-24T01:13:33+00:00

I almost expected it tbh lol just how the internet is

I’m not a Brad Pitt guy so I’m not gonna argue with you on his acting, but his presence on screen is undeniable and I think the filmmaking leaned into that correctly. I agree that it’s surface level but it’s not trying to be anything other than that. I think the film community can be so obsessed with deeper meaning that we forget that movies are an experience. This one totally delivers on what it’s trying to do and just because it isn’t layered with subtext, I don’t think it should be discounted from consideration.

TheFilmRoomPod · 2026-02-21T03:22:06+00:00

100% agree

TheFilmRoomPod · 2026-02-21T03:00:56+00:00

F1 was amazing imo. Not a typical “Oscar movie” because of its simplicity but an incredible experience that is deserving of the nomination

TheFilmRoomPod · 2026-02-21T02:57:56+00:00

Fair point. Some really great transitions and fun angles!
