I said some action movies are fantasy where i mentioned fake stunts.
For example, Fast and furious, everyone have this fantasy of racing with their car(s) at crazy speeds which was what the movie is based on.

Actually, it isn't, it's sci-fi. Sci-fi & fantasy are usually bundled together as a genre, even though they should be seperated. Although, there are films that blur the line. The drug altering the brain is science fiction, it is altering the brain's chemistry to make it do things that could even be considered superhuman (or peak human condition if you're feeling less hyperbolic). Now, if the drug had turned it into a gateway to seeing supernatural/paranormal/magic elements, it would be seen more as fantasy.

First, let's break it down a bit, shall we? Movies are classified into 8 major categories (genre)

- Action.
- Adventure.
- Comedy.
- Crime
- Drama.
- Epics/Historical.
- Horror.
- Musicals/Dance.

and 2 major subgenre, there are others but these 2 are the major ones:

- Fiction (sci-fi, fantasy, supernatural)
- Biography (true story)

Subgenre can also double as themes (the soul of a film or literature), and as such can completely alter the identity of a genre. For instance, when you have a musical movie with a biography subgenre, what does that say? The answer is simple enough... it's not a fiction, period. The plot might have been slightly tampered with to make the story flow better on screen, but the fact remains it is based on an actual true story. The Greatest Showman is a musical but clearly defined by it's biography theme. Bottom line, it's not a fiction.

Then, you have a action oriented movies like the Fast & Furious franchise & Revenge. In the case of the later, as the plot played out on screen, what became instantly apparent? It isn't real. Most of what transpired aren't scientifically possible at all. From her fall, to her mortal injuries, to her remarkably quick recovery, to her commando-styled revenge on her assailants, I mean, who even taught her how to shoot anyway?... But, don't let that stop you from watching it, because the thriller is exactly what it's made to be: an action fiction flick, the fiction here being the subgenre, and thus the soul. In other words, the plot was weak by design, because it facilitated the theme to the fullest - it's meant to be a mindless adrenaline rush kind of a movie, you know, the kind that leaves you at the edge of your seat. You aren't supposed to overthink it, just relax and enjoy the ride. If you want believable stuff, then it'll do you good to avoid action oriented fictions as a whole. Non-action fiction have believable science to them, tho.

Btw, 24 is also fictitious. 85% of what transpired onscreen were an amalgram of bad science and bullsh*t. But hey, Jack is fighting terrorists, and terrorism is real so 24 must be factual! The truth: if a quarter of what happened in that tv show were to happen in real life, United States would have become another Chechnya, and Jack will be with his forefathers long before that. It's just as fictional as say Agent of Shield, the difference being in the later, it's less subtle.

Mind fvckery and Sci fi ain't my thing but this one caught me. It got me glued on my screen from start to finish.
All Sci fi and mind fvckery lovers will definitely love this..

Am on a herculean task to read all the novels and mind blowing books featured In that movie including our own HALF OF A YELLOW SUN

Michael b Jordan will definitely make a good actor..

Ferrenheit 451 9.5/10
Forgive me if am over exergereting

oyetpel:
Limitless is a fantasy movie. Most sci fi movies are fantasy.

That drug have altered normal human behaviour giving him a superhuman mind, so it has crossed the line to a fantasy.

Emekus92:
Non of them are real they are all fiction.
I'm not interested in the movie

oyetpel:
Don't confuse yourself.

Do you want to compare say, 24 hours series to Agents of shield?

Black Panther is a fantasy movie that involves superheros with superhuman powers.

Did revenge characters have superhuman powers?

So things like vibranium, purple leave can't find it's way into a movie that deals with realities of normal human beings.

Genres like fantasy, sci fi, sometimes action movies can't be taken seriously because of fake stunts, supernatural, effects in them.

But a movie like Den of thieves, romance movies, comedy, drama are films that are logical and deal with realistic actions and behaviours.

oyetpel:
I have not watched revenge, but you can't conpare it with Black Panther.

BP is fantasy, revenge is not so they are suppose to be factual and logical to nature.

Emekus92:
and who told you black panther is a true life story?

krattoss:
I thought I was the only one that noticed that too..

That was my main reason I deleted the movie midway..

I know it's a movie but u don't take ur viewers for fools... We ain't fools..

Even if she was to survive, she was supposed to die of too much lost of blood. Because she wasn't given any medical attention a d blood transfusion.

Revenge

3/10..{the 3is for the good graphics and a actings

IamZod:
Bro just continue watching bro.
There was an interesting twist in the storyline in the season 3 finale.

Lana1:
Ok. I honestly did not see that coming!!

Ishilove:
Sounds cliché. I'll stick to Enemy

I'm actually a fan of comedy, thrillers, mysteries, kung fu and gore...but not too much

koice:
Exactly. They would have increased the number of men and add in a woman or two. Make it a proper gang-b**g gone wrong or something. A gloriously longer carnage would have ensured

koice:
The shortness pain me die. I felt cheated afterwards, like I would feel if I'd rush through a steaming bowl of jollof rice and fried plantain.

Ishilove:
Which one mindfvcked you? Enemy or revenge?

koice:
A bimbo offing 3 sadist,after a rape and a murder attempt, right? My only gripe with the movie is that it's way too short. They rushed through her revenge encounters, and just when it's just kicking into 2nd gear... c'est fini, it's over.

sprints1:
attention everyone this information is for everyone out there do not download or attempt to see a movie titled "Annihilation" by Natalie portman please it is absolute trash and ridiculous

okwabayi:
Annihilation is a cool movie. I'm sure you're a fan of gbwoa, gbwoa, gbish, gbish, boom, boom, vroom, vroom movies like Transformers and The Expendables.
Tell me what you weren't satisfied with.

EsanEmmanuel:
Y'all should try picture perfect (nollywood version)
it's not really a new movie but it's superdope.. it's on netnaija.. I'll give it 7.5/10

Ishilove:
I don't blame you for this statement. I blame Buhari. Nigerians youths have lost all their sense of humour.

You obviously don't understand the whole storyline that's why think the jokes were dry. I'm not the only one on this thread that found the movie totally hilarious so my advice to you is... drink cold water and loosen up

sod09:
yeah

Ishilove:
When you say 'monthly', mind goes to a different place entirely

sKeetz:
Before im done with all this steps, I would have died of hunger.

Who non-sticky garri epp?

Ishilove:
Very very smart. I had no idea I was this readable.

Oya clap for yasef

Ishilove:
Any particular reason why?
