Let me say that the animal cruelty in this film was uncalled for especially the turtle. The other animals, I could see that being related to the tribes way of living but the turtle was just wrong.

The film itself tells the story of how arrogant Americans mucked around and found out that you can't go into someone else's home and think you can do what you want. I found no pity for them and thought they got exactly what they deserved and probably deserved more. I was actually pretty angry watching what they did to the tribe and for no reason other than running they were superior. It really angered me because this behavior by people like them is still very present today.

What is wrong with the world? Lol this show is horrible and predictable but mostly stupid.

Episode 2, they all go home... those that survived. Then they go back, willingly and I'm supposed to feel sorry for them? Oh, my they are so broke that they'll go enter games to kill themselves for money that if they die they don't get so they leave their family without answers to even where they've gone. Now their family will spend a lifetime looking for them.

That's selfish.

I think people today are easily entertained. The thought of being so stupid so play chilhood games in a deadly way for money is insane. Oh and it was obvious #1 was in on it... he was far too happy playing a Red Light and definitely moved lol.

I'm in awe, seriously.

Everything was eh and kind of predictable from the beginning. This movie is corny and forgettable. If you like mindless gore then sure its ok, if you want substance with the gore go watch Hostel.

The ending though, that takes the cake. You mean to tell me NO ONE stopped him from beating dude dead lol like everything is recorded and insteadof running out to stop him, yall let him do this tf!! And why wouldn't he do it, he saw his friends "killed" like duh, he's traumatized and they think he would just what...? Not kill the man he saw him his friends lol. Stupid.

Message wise it tells a very true story of the lengths ppl will go today for likes.

I've seen one episode of Power, the very first episode. And watching, not by choice, Powerbook Ghost ep 9 and 10 and this is beyond laughable. These lawyers are dumb af, they can't have passed the bar lol. Tasha is the reason I couldn't get past Power ep 1 and she's even more horrible. I cannot nor will not ever believe Mary J. Blige as this character she's playing lol, she's as wooden as every other character in this show. No one in here are good actors, at all. Nothing that happened in these episodes would ever be considered logical. I knew that people hated Tariq but I never got the opportunity to get to dislike him like them, so I think he's the only one actually acting in this show lol. Overall, this is crap at its finest. Its like watching telanova. Mary points her gun at everybody.... she's got no sympathy at all and is such a bad mother.

A woman cheats on her fiance, gets pregnant by the man BUT doesn't tell him, yet instead marries her fiance and doesn't tell dude he's a dad. Sees him 5 years later, sleeps with him and still doesn't tell him he has a baby but gets mad when she see he has a chick he with... the selfishness of this tramp to get upset at him for living life when she neglected to tell him she was pregnant when he was off to Paris!! Excuse me... that's romantic to people? Gtfoh

She's a selfish. He's no better but by her own fault, tf he supposed to stop his life after you didn't tell him he got a whole kid... how do you deny a man the opportunity to be a father cause you cheated on your fiance?! I'm so over this movie and mad that my cousin and finish watching. I'm actually angry at Sylvie.

I don't get all the bad reviews. You literally read that it's about a kid trapped in a car. On that alone one should expect a solo performance and not much detail.

I think they did this film very well. The beginning was ok and had the right amount of info you needed to know about the car and the mom because we know this is about her baby being trapped in that car so it's "How does that happen"

The way the kid gets trapped makes total sense however this entire movie could have been ended if the kid released himself from the car-seat however not all kids know how to do that so, again, understandable. The mom did great. Her response was right and maternal, she did what I could have done as a mom in that situation. She fought for her child. She made some bad decisions along the way and of course she would because it's a movie lol.

Ultimately the moment she decides to do what she did with the car, I was screaming at the TV thinking, "THIS B**CH!" and then BOOM, the car becomes far more exciting than I thought and then I figured that was it and she'd call the cops buuuut she didn't, ANOTHER cool car feature happens and I was blown because that would be a really cool car to have in real life for soo many reasons. The ending was as climatic as it could be.

What I really liked about this is how the mother didn't give up, not even when the dog showed up. She was fierce And that moment after she did what she did to the car, you could feel the adrenaline as she was going to it even though I wanted her to slow down, I felt that maternal rush to go get her baby.

I liked this movie. It was a different take on the stranded mom scene. Very cool car, story line went exactly where it needed to. If you like movies that make you mad and sad and yell and feel good, then watch it.

This movie was bad and not like low level bad, it was WHY DID THEY MAKE THIS bad. 1st the acting - Mark overacted but I don't blame him with the script. Everybody else was fillers who mechanically read their lines. Alice, dude what was her point in the movie and the whole ex hubby issue with the kid, really? no point to have that and ONLY that family relationship in the movie.

The script: Poor writing. They tried very hard to be smart but fell flat. I figured out the Asian guy was bad the moment they questioned him and that was all thanks to the directors panning so heavily on him that you had no choice to but to realize that they wanted you to see him like DUH, if you zoom the camera in on his hands during a lie detector test what do you think we will get from that? Hello people, bring on the obvious train!

The action: UGH I dislike movies that have action for the sake of having action. Make it make sense. This is didn't. The ending made me angry because it just ended, no nothing. They didn't need to do a flashback for us to see who was dirty unless you're not very smart and didn't catch it otherwise it was all there.

This movie was supposed to be what Extraction was, that is how you do a rescue type film like that. I am so mad that I watched this movie because someone on facebook said it was good and so many people commented agreeing and now I think all of those people have brains the size of peas if they thought this movie was slightly even close to being good. Please get back to making good action movies that make sense.

I am confused by the huge ratings on this. It starts out odd and cryptic then gets worse.

1st we learn they are immortal and BOOM that's it. Nothing else, they talk about their immortality like we know already LOL. Then the new chick come in and just fits right in like, VOILA. yes the fight scenes were great, Charlize kicked ass there, no doubt but I predict most of the story. Honestly, there was no plot. It tired to be more serious than it was.

Then some guy who has researched Andy (Charlize) for years gives them up to some lame ass villain who you couldn't pay me to be afraid of him LOL.

it just wasnt this great good movie. too many plot holes. too much of everything and not enough of substance.

My god this is a travesty. None of what happens would be acceptable on a real police force. Its all so immature as If no one...not even Pacino went over the script for inaccuracies. Dont get me started on the female ridealong....holy she would never happen. So much of this is flawed and I have 52mins left to watch.

The script is so broken like stuff just happens but with no idea why or how or any backstory. Its just unreal...too unreal to be acceptable. The detectives are stupid, the darn forensic scientist is stupid... the only acceptable believable character is the captain.

*SPOILER*

This show is borderline awful! I tried giving it a chance by watching the first episode and I just couldn't continue halfway through the second episode. Here's what's wrong with this show:

Everything Megan Good does as Dec. Vega is beyond unrealistic and would get her gun and badge taken in real life. There is no way you will meet some random man then allow him to join you on actual cases one in which he kills someone. Lets dissect what will happen in an incident in which a cop kills someone: with the lack of info they have, her badge n gun would be taken and she'd be on leave pending an internal investigation as to how she even knew where he was, why she didn't call for backup, and how a man was pushed over a ledge. She'd lose her darn badge but nooooo let's let her keep working shall we.

She doesn't check in at work so she's working cases without her bosses approval. Then her clothes, you want me; a woman, to believe that Vega can run around in scrunched leather boots with a 3inch heel in tight Skinnies, boobs on display, a tight leather jacket and run and jump off of fire escapes and not rip a hole or hurt her ankle? Are we THAT stupid!!

These precogs... He pics her because??? The whole explanation of Vega's mother having a baby (why)? The club scene where the precog stuns dude bcus on the second day "working" with him Vega gives him a stun gun weapon, really a DETECTIVE gave a civilian a weapon!? Yea I'll believe that.

Somewhere Olivia Benson is rolling her eyes... Tom Cruise is rolling his and I'm rolling mine.

Half way through this god awful second episode I just walked away. It's just not good and it had potential but I'm sick of seeing these procedural cop shows where one cop is like super awesome... Megan good is under 5ft and she took down a 6ft man...really people, really how about a little reality once in awhile - show us some real believable stuff and not this corny ego muck!

No one is as dumb as she is as a cop, no one and if they are remove them asap!!

No major spoilers here . . .

I am a HUGE dinosaur fan, love it, love Jurassic films more than my son so seeing this was super exciting for me and I'm 33 years old.

The cons are - storyline could have been stronger with more build up but everything isn't perfect.

Another con was - where were the dinosaurs? I wanted to more dinosaurs, more of them every where and I didn't get that so that was disappointing. They spent too much time on the aunt and her relationship with the nephews which to me wasn't strong enough to carry on it's own anyway.

Another con - the idea of the park was, well. . . I don't know if I liked it or if I thought it was crazy but this is exactly what the professor wanted in the original ones so it carries on his wants very well.

Another con - manufactured dinosaurs? what idiot thinks this will ever be a good idea? seriously? Dinosaurs used a weapons (major side eye this way folks) And one more con - where did all the people go so fast?? Let that sink in. . .oh and no woman can do what she did in heels, that's just not realistic. I would have loved to see her dressed like she worked at a park and not a fancy schmancey club or executive office. And more of Dr. Woo would have been nice to help build onto the story.

So with all of those cons I still give this movie a 7/20 because it's fun. It has dinosaurs, a story line, medaling kids, love story, the dramatics, and raptors - who doesn't love raptors? I would love to see where they go with this but they will have some major plot building to do. The main dinosaur should have been presented in far more heinous way than it was - I wanted to be scared by it but I wasn't.

If you are a Jurassic fan, I say go see it. You will smile and be wowed and disappointed but nothing is perfect folks, it's a movie.

I won't really put any spoilers but I put that just in case.

I loved this movie. Let's get right to it, the cons of this movie are little so I'll start there. The acting; Arnold is Arnold if you go in expecting an Oscar worthy performance from him then shame on you. He is good because he does what he does and it works. . .for him. I usually adore Jai Courtney (Reese) in films but he was kind of stale here. He delivered his lines a bit uncomfortably which he is better than that (to me), Emilia Clark (Sarah Connor) did a great job as a young Sarah Connor. Her facial expressions were on point and she really took the role and made it her own.

Aside from Jai Courtney that would be the only cons I have and he wasn't a big con. The story of Skynet in this is so modern that it scared me. How true with how we are today!! Movies that paint a picture of society and it's obsession with technology (nothing painted it better than Surrogates w/ Bruce Willis) is eerie but truthful.

The action was great. The T-1000's were pretty cool and the storyline and how it took a really different past, current, and future spin was not really new but very fresh in it's delivery. My favorite in this film was Jason Clarke (Connor) what a performance he gave. He owned up to the role and really made it different but the same. The end vision for Skynet was refreshing that it kind of gave Terminator a reboot feel - the premise is the same but the outcome changed, slightly.

Overall, I felt very satisfied with this story. There were some down moments but they were needed to balance out the action in the film and to ease us into the storyline. I'd love to see another one with this cast to see where they can take it. If you are a terminator fan then go see this for yourself. You as a T-Fan know what expectations to have going into it, it's a pleasure to watch and much "happier" than the dim reboot with Christian Bale.

I loved the first film, watched it with my son and we both enjoyed the action and the pace. It was better than that Game of hungry kids killing one another for sure so I was excited on my own to see where they take it and for the love of monkey bread, what the heck was that!!!

On the upside, the action was there, the story continued in flow, the actors were all still good. We got to see more of the factions dedication via their members. We learned some back story - lots of back story and then BOOM dumb stuff happens.

I am not gonna rant on and on with a play by play but let's say this. . .the test she had to take was cool, I got the whole point of it but the reason for - the thing they found holding an answer (umm how, was the box to talk. . . .wait for it. . . .)SO we carry on

They go about their business and the last half hour or let's say 20 mins upset me greatly. I'm not going to fully spoil it for you but let's just say that this is the dumbest game ever played. "hey let's go put ppl over there, then NOT give them a time frame to figure out whatever it is that we want them to figure out without giving them a clue as to what it is they are to figure out and let's just see how long it will take them, wouldn't that be fun?" Then BOOM 8,000 years later (exxageraton you can find out the real time when you see it) it's HAHA HAHA the jokes on you now come join us in the real civilization OH wait. . .is there one? SO no one in 8 gazillion years climbed the wall, thought about it, tried it, nothing? EFF out of here! I left soooo upset, soooooo upset. I will not be seeing the 3rd one so I wiki'd it, read it and didn't like how it ended so I'm done!

I wanted to see this movie the moment I saw Joaquin Phoenix on the poster and read about the film. As a lover of Sci-Fi flicks I knew I'd love this and I was not wrong.

(There really aren't any spoilers but just in case I let something slip) First off, the story line is unlike any I have ever seen. It's truly a unique film but it's not. It's up with the times of today in terms of technology but it feels old in its delivery in a good way.

Joaquin, Joaquin, Joaquin - WOW he's plays the character Theodore so amazing that I felt for him. I was bashful when he was bashful. The way the movie was shot with an in depth look into his eyes and his physical facial expressions were incredible. It was not as if he were acting but as if this was a real guy, like the Truman Show. He was so believable at it. So timid, so shy, so reclusive, so eager, and willing, searching and yearning for love. He was captivating to watch on screen and I think he was so because I saw a part of myself in him (I'm a woman). When I got embarrassed at certain parts that he did, I did so forreal, not for him but because I felt it as if it were happening to me. The introduction of Samantha and his bonding with her was a phenomenal scene. The "name" scene was brilliant in it's ability to capture a true response to this OS system.

Scarlett, Scarlett, Scarlett - I am interested to know if she shot her voice-over primarily in a booth because she was so on point that it felt too real and odd yet good. Her humor, her gaffs, and huffs, and puffs, and her reasons behind it were spot on with how one would think an advanced OS system would act. She succeeded in growing in the film. Her growth was heard in her voice, it was an escalation of a true advanced system. The scene of the picnic, wow, the fact that it was not odd for him to be with a system was beautiful yet very sad to think that this could be us in the future, or a person in the future.

I loved the clothing of the men, it was all the same. Although this was in the future, the men pant's fit equally on each man regardless of height. There was a strong emphasis on men in this film, it's as if the women were made to almost not be relevant in the film as they were merely there as props to help the film along and the only woman was Samantha. Maybe it was the cameras way of showing us how the world looked through Theo's eyes with Samantha.

The jealousy was cute and bashful. The surrogate OS scene was amazingly uncomfortable and delightful at the same time. I actually rooted for his love with his system, I wanted it to be what he wanted it to be.

The ending, I won't give it away but it was one of the most emotional scenes ever and Samantha's words were absolutely beautiful and haunting at the same time. I hate love stories because I just do but this one, this one was beautiful in all it's awkwardness and I absolutely adored the message of seeking love and getting love and losing love. But it's more than that, it was more like, what would you do? We saw those moments when Theo had doubt, you saw it in his face without words. It was great.

The Score was perfect, I almost cried once not because of the film but because the score was so beautifully done and evoked all the emotions out of me that I believe they were going for. I don't watch a movie like this without opening my mind to fully understand the scope of it and I am glad I did. After what I decided upon today, I thought I would be a mental wreck leaving the theater but I left even more assured that my decisions were spot on. I love when a film takes you there. . . .

Being a fan of Michael Richards I tuned in and he makes the show. His comedic presence is amazing...has been since Seinfeld. He plays her driver Frank hilariously.

Kirstie plays the dumb founded celebrity just right, a little over the top at times but its her character.

Rhea Pearlman is classic rhea. She plays a control freak and does it well. Her comedic presence piggy backs off of Michaels perfectly.

The guy playing Arlo has to grow on me but I like him.

This show isn't gold....isn't primetime but its FUNNY. I laugh every time I watch it. There is something always funny happening or being said. I can understand the low ratings because the first few times I watched it I was not impressed but once you get to know the characters and see how they are played...its funny. I like the late time that it comee on...its my wind down comedy.

Give it another go and really take in the characters....

I thoroughly enjoyed this film and left the theater feeling horrified but full of emotions. People can be quite dangerous and this film looks at that in depth.

Jackman plays his role so well that I almost forget he was acting. You feel his emotion in his expressions. You relate to his hurt even though you may not have experienced it. When he cries, my heart literally weeps. The toll this family goes through feels so real and unfair.

Howard is good at his supporting role. He is unwilling, unsure, confused, scared, he is all that Jackman is except he shows it so much more than he Jackman.

Gyllenhaal, I was so unsure about this character. I could not understand why he is the way that he is and still don't. I take it as this was just who his personality was; awkward and too into the job. He executed his role great and I enjoyed watching his character unfold into a sort of madness.

The entire cast together was perfect. I love a movie when everyone is so well fitted together that you forget you're watching a movie. The plot was disturbing and quite dark. As a parent I felt enraged and angry. I was battling what side of the fence I would be on if I were in the position and I got made at myself for not knowing which person I'd be like; Jackman or Howard. The decisions in this film that the family makes is the hardest I think any person would have to make. . . . .the gem of this film lies in the very last minute of the movie. It's the hardest minute to watch and when the screen went black, I stared at it waiting for it to come back on with a different ending. I loved the ending. . .the felt it, I understood it but I didn't want it to be.

Overall, this film is beyond amazing and you will enjoy it's grittiness.

Soooo...I got this cause it looked good, the description was good and it's DeNiro and Travolta. Now unlike those angry over the wrong war facts, I know nothing about wars from that time, I choose not to because I hate the evil if people so I cannot say anything on that but I can talk about the moment Travolta appeared on screen with that God awful bigen (Beijing), the dyed beard..holy hell who did that and why?? You can still see the dye around the beard. He'd have been better off with a wig beard. Then the accent...WTF!! You mean they couldn't find an actor with that accent? Surely that would have been better because seeing Travolta in this role with this accent just annoys my spirit...my spirit!!! On to the story ...this secluded man (deniro) lives in the woods alone..I'm sure he knows those woods quite well so why when a strange man appears walking towards his cabin, does he not question why he is so close to his land, regardless if later finding out that he was deer hunting. So unrealistic.

The scene with deniros son, POINTLESS!!

So Travolta was Jason in this movie....he chasing deniro in the woods who is running but he walking and is right behind him...I was waiting for that classic Jason theme!!

Then the whole back and forth of trying to kill each other...mind u, I'm still watching this movie as I type this and I'm baffled but because my son is into it & too young to note obvious stupidity in films, I must finish and I'm sure this fuxery will end just as ridiculously as it started.

This gets the stars purely for DeNiro because I love him. The CGI is unspeakable and unnecessary...and as I like Travolta, his accent and that dam bigen beard is unforgettable in the worst way....

On a positive note...with a better writer, director, producer and politically correct story line and a true Serbian or Bosnian (which ever he was supposed to be) actor, this film could have and would have been great...the premise, if it were good, I'd reminiscent of The Hunted, with Tommy Lee Jones and Benecio Del Toro, which was a great film btw.

Rant. Over.
