i suppose they're both similar in how contained they are with their narratives
i will say that i liked hotel artemis but ultimately it's nothing special that ill remember clearly in the future i dont think
hateful eight is a masterpiece in building narrative suspense

i dont listen to that - what is it?
and the sci-fi i love is all-kinds lol but i do love the scientifically based sci-fi stuff - the martian was awesome to me - the way that science was cool but that the fiction elements were so based in reality and real science

Star Talk is Neil DeGrasse Tyson and different co-hosts that are phenomenal at talking about very complex things where the laymen can understand.

Speaking of which, you might hate me for this, i have never seen 2001: Space Odyssey
haha i dont hate you - it's not the easiest film to watch - but id recommend because of how influential it is on every film that came after it
it's a proper epic that feels enormous in scale

Ah, i just wasnt a fan, but i should watch it again. The high school like drama is what i couldnt get over, How Adonis and his gf were acting.
Mission Impossible fallout is probably one of my top 3 films of the year - it's just so expertly pulled off with the set pieces and stunts turned up to 11 and the characters and story play well off each other

Hall of Famer
Creed I was the same way. Neither movie has any business being as good as it is.

Thoughts on the new Captain Marvel trailer?
im gonna see it day 1 - the trailer didnt change anything lol
the only marvel trailer that really did/changed anything for me was thor: ragnarok tbh - everything else has kinda just been exactly as i expected and therefore didnt really change whether id go and see it in the cinema
thor: ragnarok changed everything for me - id seen taika was directing and thought that was promising but wondered whether he'd lose his authorial voice because of the corporate and big budget environment - saw the trailer and the tone it depicted and instantly knew he'd nailed it - made it go from a film id probably watch months after release to a film i had to see in the cinema on opening weekend

Any exploring type of movies or adventure type you can suggest. Stuff like the Lost City of Z is what im looking for. Jungle is another one that i liked, would that be the Adventure genre?
Also financial films, Boiler Room, Wolf of Wall Street, Wall Street, Big Short, etc....

yeah its a weird genre - i love those kinds of films and media - its a hard one to find - often the best examples are things like Indiana Jones, or even more monsters-y stuff like King Kong lol
you have to dive deep to find some
Werner Herzog's Aguirre, the Wrath of God (i havent seen it but ive heard its an epic about attempts to find el dorado)
Master and Commander maybe...
Kon-Tiki (again i havent seen it but it sounds like it might be not dissimilar)
its a really hard niche to pin down
a lot of modern explorery adventure films focus on space now because of how much we know about our own planet at this point - in fact i kind of enjoyed the stupid but interesting sci-fi pivot back to the bottom of the ocean in The Meg this year because of how its so vast that its not fully discovered (albeit the premise of the meg is unfeasible and illogical - but i loved watching that film)
that financial films list you've got there is a basic who's who of the great ones lol:
but maybe...
Inside Job
Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (documentary i think)
Margin Call was well reviewed but i never saw it
and ive seen Equity (2016) mentioned a few places but id never even heard of it but seems to have been well reviewed

Margin Call is on my list that i will prolly watch soon, seen the rest, Inside Job was great.
No exploring type movie suggestions?
