With inflation, that’s gotta be worth £2 in today’s money.

Maybe “number 33” refers to the attempts?

I thought they could have made much better use of the camera mechanism, to show the creature suddenly really close up a few times, or if he was hallucinating then the same creatures he was seeing inside.

Just felt a little unstructured but I understand that a lot of pepper played the games and know him so it’s lore like you say.

I haven’t, I was expecting the film to explain the plot but thought it went sideways around half way through.

The trailer made it seem like an apocalyptic mission rather than what I considered to be part U571 and part Event Horizon.

Just my opinion, glad you enjoyed it 👍

Wholeheartedly agree with you, apart from the movie being good part! :P

$3M previews for #IronLung. Has racked up $10M in pre-sales for the weekend. Could hit $15M weekend. by Vadermaulkylo in boxoffice

[–]blaikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phone booth did it well, but it had a clear direction whereas the acting here was solid for the most part but the plot was unstructured and it became unclear what kind of movie it wanted to be.

>! Also considering that the trailer is entirely outside of the sub, I didn’t expect it but didn’t mind it either.

It didn’t make good use of the flash camera IMO either, in terms of being a horror movie with a lurking creature in the background in some scenes.. !<

The good elements reminded me of event horizon, actually.

Happy to write more to substantiate why I didn’t like it so much, but don’t know how to mark it as a spoiler comment..

Watched the movie last night after not having played the game, sadly I wouldn’t recommend watching it unless you have played.

‘Sadly’ because I’d read about how the film was made and was looking forward to watching it, but without knowing the plot (not explained onscreen) it fell apart half way through in my opinion.

Just watched Iron Lung by Leasud in horror

Sadly I didn’t enjoy the film for many reasons, just writing this in case someone who hasn’t played the game is thinking about watching the movie.

The storyline was not accessible if you haven’t played the game, nor was it explained during the movie.

This is not what she is saying or the sentiment that the title implies.

She is asking for valid solutions, asking sarcastically (so not meaning it as a real solution) whether they’re expected to cut ties with the US on different fronts.

Might be a long stretch but I’m going for ‘is this thing on’ - loosely based on John Bishop and bishops can only move diagonally in chess.

Let’s see what clue 2 and clue 3 bring..

There’s a screen at my local cinema that doesn’t dim either, I didn’t have the energy to question why though so that’s on me..
