Was helping my wife again to screen a preview for pr people and critics. All I gotta say this is the geekiest movie you can watch.

“This is not a film that we’ve made. It is, I promise you, a movie.” That was the quote Steven Spielberg made during the world premier. It basically telling everyone this is that classic Spielberg who defined the 80s pop culture. You will be transported to the thrilling roller coaster ride with a sense of wonder on every corner of the movie.

The middle action sequence will made you shed couple of geek tears as you are too busy to cross reference how many pop culture icons you can identify on the screen. Storming the castle sequence is a blueprint for DC Kingdom Come style of epic battle. The scope of it almost on another level.

The bad is the real world stuff a little thin and a weak villain overall. Pissy book readers will nitpick how it is not faithful...blah,blah,blah.

MCU take note this is how to do meaningful character banter and not cramming every cringey quips you can force into a scene.

To those still on the fence, perhaps give a try at Mamoru Hosada's Summer Wars to get a sense of idea what to expect. This is that more expensive and funnier version of that. 3D is a must for this one.

I'm so hyped for this movie. I hope it wipes out MCU domination. It is relevant as it has many pop cultural references from many decades.

I'm really looking forward to this one. The trailer has done a good job of that, that's for sure. Far more interesting to me than Pacific Rim.

Bust a nut...otakus!!!

can become movie of the year or not?

i heard this movie very gooding

Haha why not

not sure it can attracts non gamers

Sure can one😄😄👌👌

Read the novel, it was a bit meh to be honest, so when I heard that the movie version is a lot different than the book, I was intrigued..

no joke, Spielberg (or the writers) changed almost 70-80% of the detail, however, it made the movie a lot better than the novel, 8/10 from me

2 minor gripes about the changes though:

Spielberg couldn't secure the rights for everything featured in the book and the others he wanted.

ya I understand that he couldn't get every rights for every character he intended to put in the movie that's why its just a small gripe for me, however

Movie was awesome!

Except kissing scenes, the film is watchable by all ages (6-60)

Spielberg seems to have been heavily inspired from anime (BTOOM for example)

Entertainment in its purest form! Visual feast but for some (like myself) would feel themselves to have been bombarded by VFX over 2 hours

haha the first animation + live action ever
