Avatar 2: The Way of Water....8.5/10


The best things about this movie are it's groundbreaking visuals, it's cinematography and the lore built around the world/planet

The only thing that makes little sense to me is the humans being too focused on Jake Sully. I understand the revenge thing, but that's only for a select few soldiers...the rest of the humans that occupied the planet don't care about revenge yet they go the extra mile to help these people achieve it...
The only reason I can think of is Jake Sully sabotaging their operations on the planet, but the moment he went hiding, I didn't see the point...

Anyway this is a minor issue

The movie imo was far more coherent than the first one. They tried to tie up loose ends and they made sure the motivations of most characters made sense...unlike the first movie where characters were acting randomly....

Even Spider saving the Villain still made sense considering the care and compassion he showed to him earlier...

Predictions for the next movie:
Jake Sully's wife will die...

She has been having death flags all over her character...

John wick 4 Is it HDcam or actual realease?

Better call Saul Cinematography and the need for less generic Nollywood movies

I just recently finished the series Better call Saul and after honestly rating it as one of my top 5 series of all times, the question on my mind is when will Nollywood ever invest in its cinematography to tell stunning visual stories?

During my years of watching Nollywood movies, mostly forced on me by the media and peers, I have never watched a Nollywood movie where I'm amazed by the beautiful scenery or stunned or confused by how the hell they could figure out a camera angle or an unusual camera dolly or pan, most of Nollywood movies 90% don't even move the camera at all, just drop the camera at a spot and sleep on it.
Most of the opening scenes of BCS are just shots of things - normal stuff, sometimes the camera will be inside a coffee machine or the camera will be facing a mirror unknown to the viewer, there was this shot I absolutely loved and rewatched a lot of times- the scene where ants were feasting on an ice-cream brooooo! Just a simple shot with amazing sound design and music. Still wondering when Nollywood would ever do something like that.
Stories should be unique and mostly suspenseful but Nollywood movies are just usually generic the same garbage thrown at us constantly. The action is meh.
I just think visual storytelling without dialogue sometimes is integral to storytelling, the feel of a surrounding, the colour grading and camera movements are all part of storytelling
I just hope Nollywood thinks of all this in the future😪

some Nollywood movies have been trying these tho...
Even that series about that academy...they were experimenting with some shots

Nollywood is still walking...

The Night Agent.....7.8/10


Very enjoyable. I think this season 1 was merely a set-up season...i.e kind of a Prologue

Big ups I'll give to this show is how they took time on every character including side characters and even the assassins, they took time to focus on their relationship.

The bad guys tho, they were too sloppy.
You don't use someone that can be connected to you to plant a bomb on a Metro.
What's worse, you don't inform that person about the involvement of the Vice-President.

It felt too sloppy. Also the way they handled Peter was sloppy. They gave him so much free reign to investigate even when he kept getting closer and closer. He should have been taken care of way sooner

For the most part the show was really fun to watch, even with some of the inconsistent behavior. Definitely worth watching

I wonder how season 2 will go. Peter already has his face so publicly known...so him being on the field as a night agent...
I'm not sure how well it will go...
He can't even act as a spy at this point...unless the public doesn't know his name has been cleared up

zoroby:
Rabbit Hole is giving me that 24 vibes.
But why have sex with someone when you feel it's a set-up and the presence of hidden cams?

he explained that...
He believed they were going to use it for blackmail but he didn't care if it leaked...

And sleeping with such a hot lady at his age is a win for him...so he did it


But hold that answer above with a pinch of salt.
Weir certainly knows more than he lets on...

He might have had another agenda

TOMMYS:
So with all the black web members wey dey nairaland. No one fit tell me where to download John wick chapter 4 today. Seriously Una dey provoke me.

if you've been on this thread for a while, you should know that it takes time before it's out on the high seas

Except you wan watch Cam-rip version

Go to cinema bro

.

Scott Pilgrim anime series announced by Netflix

And they're bringing the entire old cast of the 2010 movie to voice their characters including Chris Evans

I think I'll definitely check out the old movie since I haven't seen it "Scott Pilgrim vs The World"

It's gonna be animated by anime studio: Science SARU

Kaycee7:
Lmao! I remember last year when you were shouting 3D or nothing. I just dey look your post dey laugh. Jungle don mature

omo...
It just pained me tbh...

All my guys turn by turn cancelled plans...
I find it boring to go to the movies alone...

And if I carry babes now, they'll act like I'm doing them a favor, they'll want to eat everything they see but won't split bills...learnt my lesson long ago

Except she's my gf...I ain't doing

Kaycee7:
A'ight. Guess you'll be downloading and watching the 3D version, then. Wonder how you'll find one for less than 3gb

I haven't even seen the 3D version for download...
Plus I don't have 3D Google's

Pahe dot li has PROPER WEB DL 720p for about 3.3gb
They have another one for just 1.8gb

Kaycee7:
I mean, the fact that you're downloading it after watching it in the cinema means you're rewatching it.

I didn't watch it in cinema

All my guys I planned to watch with cancelled and I don't like going to cinema alone...
I watch movies in cinema with friends

Illusioneffect:
Just rewatched Avatar 2 - The Way of Water 1080p version it's 6gb
The thing about this movie is you can't actually enjoy it in its full capacity on tv alone. It should be watched in 3d iMAX and Dolby Atmos 360 sound, those who watched it in Cinemas like I did know what I mean
The Amazing thing about this movie is not the story telling or even the dialogue but the landscapes. This movie's every scene is just insanely beautiful, it makes you forget everything you're actually seeing is visual effects and just 10% of everything is practical. Watch the tails and eyes twitch and know none of the water in this movie is even real
I seriously don't know how James Cameron will top the visual effects in the next movie maybe he'll go more storywise.
A 9/10 movie for me

In summary, you're saying that all the movie has to offer is it's visuals

And you're giving it 9/10 for the visuals alone

toluxe0075:
You can’t tell the difference between 4K and 1080p on mobile phone as long as mobile device screen size wouldn’t exceed 10 inches. The screen size is just too small to see any difference. You would need at least 32 inches tv screen to see any display difference between 4K and 1080p.

It’s something I have experimented with a neighbor when I got to know he downloaded the Tenet in 4K. We compared the differences on his iPhone 13 pro and we could hardly detect any. We only got to see the difference on his TV.

try it on Samsung, not iPhone...you'll know the difference

But it's still pointless imo...
I haven't downloaded Avatar 2 yet because I like to watch movies like that on Sundays...
The version I'm gonna download will still be less than 3gb

Movie that I will never rewatch lmao

toluxe0075:
If you end up watching this quality on your mobile phone, then it’s just a waste of data.

not really... Depends on the phone's display

But imo 9gb on any device is a waste. I'm not downloading a movie I'll only watch once more than 720p quality

Happy Birthday to one of the best written and most complex characters in fiction...EREN YEAGER


Tatakae!!! Tatakae!!! Tatakae!!!

Crimes committed by Eren Yeager

Is this a record for a show's "protagonist"?

NaijaMemes:



Ogbeni, please stop this blasphemy

the thing shock me...

AOT when get so many layers upon layers...so many plot points happening at once

I watched an AOT reactor on YouTube, man said that there were so many questions...before 1 gets answered, 20 more questions will arise

But people keep assuring him that everything gets answered

That's what's crazy about AOT, you have to keep track of everything happening at once...
That's why people always recommend a rewatch to notice things you overlooked...

E.g the Ymir backstory in S2 revealed all the secrets in a way that was purposely written so you won't understand...it is when you reach the basement reveal that everything will make sense

Blueelf:
I whatever watched it and paid attention too

Maybe it's just personal preference but I don't see the hype with it

AOT is not it for me

you're just not interested and that affects your understanding of the show

It was so obvious when I saw what you typed about "Titans running around"


And the fact that you hated the show even before you tried watching it didn't help either

2 episodes in...

Looking good so far

Let's see what the puzzle pieces lead up to
John Weir definitely knows more than he's letting up...

I won't be surprised if this is some intricate plan that he himself set up
