Watched Free Solo last night.
Astonishing achievement - must be up there with the best individual sport or physical achievement in human history.

It is a fantastic documentary and an incredible athletic achievement but anyone who suffers from vertigo will want to look away at particular points in the doc.Avenger wrote:Watched Free Solo last night.

In a similar vein, The Dawn Wall on Netflix is worth a look.Avenger wrote:Watched Free Solo last night.

Vertigo is a balance issue in your inner ear that makes you feel dizy and sick.
In fairness that is not going to be helpful in combination with heights but not related.
Fear of heights is more a fear of an urge to jump.

Re: Movie Thread
Anyone know of a cure for Vertigo, the balance/ear version, or even a treatment that works for it or even eases it.

Re: Movie Thread
I just rewatched Man of Steel in preparation for Zac Snyder's Justice League and I had completely forgotten how good it was.
Genuinely excited about ZSJL. A lot of positive reviews coming out at the mo.

Re: Movie Thread
Directors cut of BvS is huge improvement on the cinema release so be interesting to see what this end up being. 2017 release was a mess, fun in parts but a mess

Re: Movie Thread
MOS is great.
How do we watch ZSJL on this side of the pond? I've been too busy to even check what its going to be on.

Re: Movie Thread
Think it'll be on Amazon Prime too. At 4 hours long, I reckon it'll take at least 2-3 nights to get through.

Re: Movie Thread
Watched it in one sitting on Friday night, it's in 6 parts and my plan was to stop at part 4 but couldn't turn it off. I loved it. I think anyone who reads comics will love it, it is the most comicy adaption ive ever seen.

Re: Movie Thread
Watched the first two parts today and it's a massive improvement so far. Not crazy about the 4:3 aspect or the moany soundtrack though.
Re: Movie Thread
Re: Movie Thread
Finished it last night - the soundtrack eases off in parts 3&4 but comes back during the last two. Aspect ratio kind of gets forgotten after a short while.RoboProp wrote: ↑March 29th, 2021, 4:57 pmI threw in the towel because of the aspect ratio and the soundtrack, and just overly long establishing shots.
The film is obviously an improvement on Whedon's but imo it'll never be good with such bland/uninteresting protagonists. Such a shame because all the castings could've been excellent for those roles had they been written better.

Spider-Man No Way Home. Park cynicism, go and enjoy. Fun for all the family.
