I find it so interesting just how split audiences were on this film. Just curious, what types of movies do you usually gravitate towards?

nothing is more frustrating than having a parent nonstop not understand the movies you like lol. My mom watched Everything Everywhere All At Once and was ranting about how long it was, how empty the film was of rich meaning. I'm like...damn were we watching the same movie!?

>I think it's bad when a film explains everything about those kind of elements
Totally, unless the entire point of the film is to set up a larger universe, like Star Trek or Lord Of The Rings. I would argue that Get Out more closely resembles a classic horror/drama film though.

I don't think so at all. Certain audiences have always hated slightly ambiguous, theme/symbol priority type media. Look at 2001 A Space Odyssey, that got really mixed reviews when it first came out in '68. Some folks hated it!

Plenty of people didn't like it. It's a film that puts more stock in what it's trying to say through symbols and themes than telling a classic hollywood story. I'm guessing you don't consume a lot of ambiguous media, like Neon Genesis Evangelion? I get why you feel the way you do, but its also probably a sign that movies like this aren't for you.

I had no idea the first movie existed but after seeing the trailer, I must watch it this weekend.
Also, they should have done everything in their power to get a Taylor Swift cameo.

The first one was like home alone for adults.

I think it just might be Puss in Boots.

Ignoring the movie's quality, The Polar Express came out in 2004 and blew me away when I saw it in IMAX 3D. Maybe it wouldn't hold up post Avatar but when the layered snowflakes came down over the WB logo I was pretty gobsmacked.

Shrek never seemed super deep. Like, its designed to mock fairy tales and Disney. TLW does that too but has an emotional core

I have a hard time with 3d; others do not. Not all 3d is created equal, but with the price of the ticket I don't take the chance of it not being good and lessening the experience, so I don't watch them in 3d. IMO 3d is fine if it adds to the film, but if the film NEEDS 3d to be worth watching, it wasn't a good film. Like if someone says "it was so much better in 3d," it was lacking significantly in other areas.

Yeah, Sony Product Development Execs reading this random reddit thread! Don't get any ideas that thousands of people including yourself have already had when every other major content creation and holding house started up a streaming service!

Reply to comment by MINKIN2 in Where did all the family fun movies go? by FlipprDolphin
Among other adult things with eyeballs glued on. There’s also a scene of domestic violence.
Look, we get very, very few animated films for adults. I think we should acknowledge and appreciate when we do, and not automatically assume animated = for kids.
There are many challenging animated films still aimed at kids if you want to recommend those. But they’re asking for a family film, and Marcel is aimed and written for adults.

Shrek 2 is a masterpiece and was a masterpiece before the memes. It has everything. It has emotion, humour, action, cuteness, (puss in boots) Donkey etc.

I can't find it now but I remember some interview where he said all it takes is time, money, and attention to detail to get post-conversion to like 80% of native 3D quality it's just that no one wants to do that.

First film was an amazingly solid piece of work. Looking forward to this.

I only see out of one eye so the effects don't work for me.
Heck, I don't see 3D in real life. ;)

My impressions of 3D movie’s completely changed after watching “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse.” Before quitting entirely, give that movie a watch in 3D, it was SO well done!
