Gods of Egypt (new Alex Proyas movie)

Post by Tommy Bunz »

Looks absolutely ridiculous and will almost certainly be a huge flop, but I will watch the shit out of this. Still have faith in Proyas.

Sweet concept. obv the authenticity will be off but this actually looks promising in its limited kind of way

Yeah its a dumb controversy too. I get why people are butthurt about it, but the movie doesn't get made without big names on the poster, and unless someone wants to dig up Omar Shariff's corpse, there isn't an Egyptian actor even remotely famous enough to warrant a major speaking part.

Also, I rewatched Knowing in the past month and it held up really well, movie is way better than anyone gave it credit for, although the god Roger Ebert rode hard for that shit.

No surprise there.

Anyways, this shit should be called Gods Of Greece or something corny like that.

Yo this is really dumb and suffers from some overly fake CGI in places (I don't know why so many greenscreen movies make everything so bright and shiny, it just looks terrible), but I have to say that once it gets going I had a great time watching it.
Solid fantasy adventure, it was just released in the wrong decade for it to be successful.

Better than I expected, but the crazy cast and terrible cgi really stick out just like Geoffrey Rush's golden liver spots.

Surprised by how much of a throwback to old school fantasy flicks this actually was.

Thought this was an Alex Poythress movie, now I'm less interested but still definitely watching it.

Either new CGI technology is really hard to use, or it's so easy to use that people are getting hired right out of school and/or everyone stopped putting effort and creativity into it, because recent films that use a lot of CGI look terrible. There's a few exceptions, like the new Jurassic and SWTFA, but for the most part shit is trash.

Watched. Now I'm on Adapin.

The acting, plot, cgi and even the typesetting on the credits suck.
