One Battle After Another (Paul Thomas Anderson, September 26, 2025) Movie • Page 16

Damn you! 22 hours for me

 

It’s so much movie (in a very good way) So I’m gathering my thoughts. But yea it rocks

 

Will be leaving the theater around this time tomorrow

 

yeah, i might need to unpack for this but for the time being... wow

movie of the year with a bullet

 

Just got out of a screening for this, easily top 3 PTA for me. The runtime flew by. 10/10 would recommend. Instant classic the moment they dropped Christmas Adventurers.

 

yeah this was amazing. I haven't seen a PTA film since The Master I suppose I should catch up on those

Penn was kind of annoying though or at the very least Doing Too Much, every time he did that mouth thing I was instantly out of the moment. think the next film should all be musicians who can vaguely act

 

So pumped for this tonight

 

Seeing it again tonight. Kind of demands multiple viewings. Certainly one that feels easy to rewatch forever

 

There are elements of the movie that kinda got me buying into the rumor that Pynchon himself actually did get a crack at the script.

 

i was wondering if pynchon got pulled in somehow

 

The Christmas adventurers club feels so Pynchon I thought it was from the book but apparently it’s not

 

That’s precisely what I’m thinking of too lol

 

Damn. Doesn't look like I'm gonna be seeing this tonight after all.

But silver lining, it's because I just got a free ticket to see Model/Actriz instead.

 

This fucking rules. Goes a little too long with an unnecessary scene at the end. my audience pretty much checked out when they saw Lockjaw survived. People just had loud conversations until the final scene with Leo and his daughter

 

LAST HOUR OF MY LIFE THAT DOESNT HAVE ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER IN IT. WEIRD FEELING.

 

wonder how that’ll affect his PTA/tarantino rankings

 

Fucking incredible. And I thought plenty of scenes were super intense - I definitely don’t agree with that part of the above take.

Top tier PTA for me, full of energy that really only slows down toward the end. Felt of the moment in ways that felt way too real at times - was reminded of Eddington, but more intense. Only criticism would be the one scene someone else alluded to - it was fine, just felt superfluous and dragged the movie out an additional 5-10 minutes.

 

Eddington but more intense? Fuuuuuuuuuu

 

Seated!!

theater is packed

 

Surpassed my expectations. Great companion to Eddington but I wouldn't say it's as intense or dark (not that those are necessarily indicators of quality in themselves)

 

Great movie. I think instantly a top 3 PTA? Honestly thought Penn was the stand out. Lots to unpack. First 35 minutes were unrelenting but perfect.

 

Lockjaw asking for someone to make him a reason to deploy gave me chills.

 

My god. I don’t think another film will top this for the rest of this year.

 

He some how packed 5 hours worth of a movie into 2 and a half hours and made it fly by.
