Escape to the Movies: Splice

[Onyx Oblivion]

After being massively underwhelmed by much-nerd-hyped District 9, I'll skip this.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Micheal Bey? Ninja Turtles?

... [HEADING=3]MY EYES!!![/HEADING]

Messing with moviebob's childhood is bad enough but mess with mine and there will be blood Mr. Bey.

[small] Sarcasm, obviously. Still I'm not happy one bit about this. [/small]

 

[Skeleon]

Woo, Rodney McKay!

Huh, the actual movie looks interesting. Gonna have to give it a look.

 

[wooty]

Nice to see theres another person whos not in favour of Russel twatting Brand.

You've inspired me to go and see this, may have to go on my own seeing as most of my mates are fond of those "Haha Chubby Man Fall Down Go Boom" kinds of crap.

 

[twaddle]

i heard about the film on then net but not much in the our media. i though it was going to be bad rip off movie. guess i was wrong

 

[esperandote]

One more good movie i had never heard of and i now know thanks to movie bob and the escapist

 

[Idlemessiah]

*sigh*
Another long wait for a DVD release for me then.
My local small cinema insists on showing crap and I have to travel like, 40 miles to the nearest decent cinema!
I missed Iron Man 2, I missed Kick Ass!, I'm missing Prince of Persia and now I'm gonna miss this.
Screw you crappy local cinema company for not showing movies I want to see!

 

[Herr Wozzeck]

I saw this movie before I watched this review. And I must say, I agree on almost every single one of your points. I for one wasn't too fond of the action climax, but I absolutely loved everything else about it. It's a shame it's being marketed the way it is, really.

 

[Cousin_IT]

argh I have to wait till august 6th for this! :'(

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

Wow I'm completely surprised by this review! I thought this movie looked terrible and I had no interest in seeing it. Now Bob comes along touting the film's awesomeness! Now I'll have to see it.

 

[Necromancer1991]

Look I was on the fence about this one and bob pushed me to the "for" side of the fence. On actual science being involved in the Sci-Fi, yes, I'm all for that, especially the fact they attack the crazed scientists as opposed to the science they practice. (I'm a huge fan of Sci-fi, and yes I have read Frankenstein)

 

[copycatalyst]

I hope it plays in my area. I have a feeling it won't. :-(

Why? Where do you live?

South Korea, for the time being. American movies make their way here, but usually they are of the "blockbuster" variety.

 

[Cosplay Horatio]

I am highly impressed. When I first saw the tv trailer I didn't know what what going on but now I'm happy that a great bio engineering science flick is available as supposed to that one character from forgetting sarah marshall being kept alive for get him to the greek and I really dread the though of what michael bay will do to the TMNT franchise yet I really can't say much till I see the trailer.

 

[ArianaUO321]

I would rule it out, because things that aren't ENTIRELY human have to work hard to get me (not impossible though: Liara from Mass Effect).

On that subject, am I the only one who finds that Dren looks strikingly similar to a certain character from Mass Effect 2? I mean, minus all the tattoos? Anyone else see a resemblance?

That said... this movie looks excellent, just need to get some money together so I can go see it.

 

[obisean]

Do not put commercials I can't skip into my escapist clips or I will stop watching them. You have been warned.

They get paid to show those commercials, and the commercials are pretty essential to keeping the site running. How do you think they earn the money necessary to pay the guy doing the video? Kinda like how you get free TV, and have to sit through the ads. Even Youtube is doing forceful ads before videos now. If you don't want commercials, put up a $20 (I think it's $20) donation to the site, and you will view the entire site completely ad free among other perks.

 

[Solusumbra]

the human centipede thing doesnt feel real to me. like, i can barely believe it was actually made. and i really have no fondness for that sort of batshit insane garbage, so im likely to shield my eyes whenever i happen to pass it in the video store (if they even consent to carry it). ive seen reviews for it, and i agree with every syllable of condemnation that it has received.

as for splice, it looks interesting. something ide like to see.

 

[deckai]

Wow, I'm surprised. Judging from the trailers, i expected something like a bad "Species" rip-off (not as if Species was a good film on its own...). Might check it out.

 

[Z(ombie)fan]

Dren makes me think of a xenomorph from aliens.

anyone else get that vibe?

OT: this years district 9? Im having a hard time believing that. well... maybe its just district 9 was more MY thing... with action out the ass and whatnot. Ill make sure to see it in the offchance my dad is off work this weekend.
