On Sy Fy.
on that topic, anyone here do movie pass? thinking about getting it
This ought to ramp up a discussion... Any takers? Looks like another money grab to me. More dramatic though. Not sure what angle they are taking.

Purge 1: Awesome... 7.5-8/10
Purge 2: Meh. More of a survival thriller than horror... 6/10
Purge 3: More Meh, and even less horror... 5/10

Back to your regularly scheduled programming on this Saturday.

everyone else seems to like it.You've been warned.
You've been warned.
Nothing against your friend DJ, but I rarely listen to another person's opinion on horror films. Horror movies are generally not very well received by the general public. It usually takes a different perspective to perceive them so the ratings are usually very bipolar. As in, I wouldn't expect someone that doesn't watch horror very regularly to have a good opinion of any horror film they watch. Now if I had heard a bad review from a known source, like say someone in here that watched it, then maybe I would heed their warning... But even then we have seen the opinions vary.everyone else seems to like it.
Take The VVitch (The Witch - 2015) for example... It initially bombed in ratings, but was very well received in this forum. Eventually the ratings balanced out in its favor.Nothing against your friend DJ, but I rarely listen to another person's opinion on horror films.

I had the opposite take away from that movie. All the reviews I saw were good. After seeing the movie felt it was just okay.Take The VVitch (The Witch - 2015) for example... It initially bombed in ratings, but was very well received in this forum. Eventually the ratings balanced out in its favor.
Well at least you prove my point of varying opinions in here lol. IIRC you didn't care for the new IT remake either.I had the opposite take away from that movie. All the reviews I saw were good. After seeing the movie felt it was just okay.
Saw this post from BusSport:I trust this guy with my life.
Woah, A Quiet Place is an unexpected big hit critically and commercially, currently 97% on RottenTomatoes, with a $50 million opening weekend, the 2nd-biggest (after Black Panther) of any movie this year, about $10 million ahead of Ready Player One!
That's where RottenTomatoes & IMDB ratings come into play. Those are reviews from people/critics who have seen it. But it wouldn't be the first instance of media pumping ratings. We shall see.It has a good trailer but I don't think sales is a good determination of it being good. Could just be a lot of people weere conned into seeing it from the trailer.
If you polled those that saw it
I knew someone here had it, didn't recall who.I do. I've been using it since November. I've had no issues. I go see movies that I would always wait for them to hit HBO or rent. Do the monthly. Not the yearly if you are concerned if they will go out of business.
Any questions.....feel free to ask.
