  • While details are scarce, sources say the story is set in 13th century England. The script also features dialogue that was true to the time period and has translations and annotations for those uninitiated in Old English.

    Sounds very promising, I love it when directors do this instead of dumbing down a script for wider appeal. I watched The Witch recently and the dialogue really added to the immersion, which in turn leads to a scarier film.



  • Is anyone actually invested enough in Avatar to care about “twists” in the films? My feeling has always been that it’s a series people watch purely because of the visuals. The first one was a big event for this reason, and the second was a big event because it was the follow up to the first one and promised 13 years worth of improved visuals. No one really cared about the story, or the characters, or the world building to my knowledge - certainly not to the exrent that they do for other science fiction franchises like Star Wars or Alien (when Ripley existed).




  • I agree with you, not really sure why this film wasn’t panned more. It’s just another nostalgia bait reboot filled with derivative ideas taken from its superior predecessors (which is saying a lot, considering how bad Prometheus and Covenant were). Shit like this is exactly what that South Park memberberries episode was making fun of, and that was over eight years ago. The “you bitch” line was so forced it was physically painful to watch.
