    30th anniversary rewatch. This really is more arthouse movie, than your general action/crime/thriller, and an all-out Los Angeles movie, by one of the great auteurs. This really vies for the top spot of my all-time favourites. Blessed to finally see it on the big screen.

    What movie would you choose to watch on your birthday?

    I chose this action epic.

    Man, I fucking hate that bear.

    Garland is an intriguing filmmaker and this is solid horror sci-fi, but a bit too close to horror for my taste.

    Great cast, cerebral story, some excellent cinematography but the cgi is very shanky.

    The ending is out there and pretty nuts.

    I feel more could have been made out of the message here.

    It's clear why reception has been divisive.

    Garland holds a fractured mirror to the face of the US.

    Harrowing, ultra realistic, too close to the bone depiction of war & descent of tribalism.

    And a movie that could only be made by foreign eyes.
