Write Up.

Went to check out the 3D version on the big screen. They've really done an immaculate job. Even the Sepia segments are 3D. And there's quite a lot of detail in the depth separations. They've taken the flat painted backdrops of the set and layered them back to make the world feel less stage bound, which is cool. Problematic when the camera skews the images whilst filming from awkward angles that are too close but that was kind of fun to watch as well...

The "I'll get you my pretty" finger point comes right out of the screen. Awesome.

Tight little dramatic thriller. Good cast, good pace, nice character work. Enjoyable.

Hehehehhee this was rather a lot of fun. A very simple concept, kinda reminded me of The Brood only completely ridiculous. But the cast all take it wonderfully seriously and that puppet is delightful. Check it out!

Remember when Robert Luketic was a hot property? I guess he lost momentum. Liam Hemsworth just doesn't have the charisma of his brother. And although the thriller structure is firmly in place there is a distinct lack of paranoia on display for what the title suggests.

Gary Oldman and Harrison Ford going at it is fun to watch, but that accounts for about 5% of the film. And poor Amber Heard. My god she does wonders with a nothing part that has no place in the film. She does everything she can to sell her part and I think she gets away with it too, but it must have been major uphill battle. 

A very average film, I think it could have been something better but it just never takes off.

Jobs

Steve Jobs' life didn't make for a very dramatic film. They went for an all encompassing approach and ended up brushing over anything they might have been able to milk dramatic tension out of. It's pretty standard stuff.
