Annihilation (Alex Garland, February 23, 2018) Movie • Page 16

Could be, but they didn't let that stop them with the Jennifer Jason Leigh ending.

Bad CGI is something that is easier to forgive, though. Better CGI requires a bigger budget, and a bigger budget means Tom Cruise with a rocket launcher and a spunky kid saying one liners and all the other sideshows required.

 

What is this thread lol

 

Yeah I think it's about time to burn it all down, personally. Maybe with some sort of giant explosion set in motion by a spunky kid or whatever.

 

This movie reminds me of a Circa Survive album cover.

 

Maybe the best thing ever said about this film.

 

I really loved this. Bits of it reminded me of the manga Uzumaki. Unsettling in the same way.

 

Uzumaki was and still is horrifying.

 

After a second watch this has definitely cemented itself as the best sci-fi film since Alien

 

Children of Men tho

 

Funnily enough I've been planning to rewatch that soon, last time I saw it I was in middle school.

 

It’s a great one. I really like this too though

 

This is honestly one of my favorite movies ever

 

Same :)

 

CoM is more dystopian than science fiction (still one of the best movies of the aughts)

 

This movie has been a huge inspiration for me creatively. I’m working on an album right now and a lot of lyrical themes connect with the themes of this movie.

It was actually crazy, when I saw this movie one of the lines was almost word for word a lyric I had. I want to sneak in some dialogue bits into a song.

 

I will add a few shots had him resemble a younger Harrison Ford but for the most part he reminded me of Mark Duplass.

 

I assume you meant to post this to the Solo thread but I maintain that dude looks like a younger, skinnier Jack Black

 

I didn’t realize this was coming out in Blu-ray on Tuesday! So hyped to own this

 

Oopsies

 

Real shame this didn’t do better at the box office

 

This is my first time on this site, but it’s showing a production budget of $55 million where everywhere else seems to be saying $40 million. Total box office gross was $43 million. Unfortunately, I don’t them selling many physical copies either.

Financials aside, I’m glad they didn’t edit their version for that guy at Paramount who didn’t think the audience would ‘get it’

 

I wonder if this accounts for marketing costs too?

 

Yea, marketing money isn’t included in production budget, from what I heard in terms of studio movies, advertising costs is usually half of what the production is for a movie

 

I’ve always read that a movie needs to earn double its budget in order to be considered profitable

 

I can assure you Paramount didn't spend anywhere near average on marketing.
