Looper :sergio:

Way to fucking ruin one of the coolest themes ever; time travel, whether one can change the past or not.

The people who made this movie should be fucking ashamed of themselves!!

And fuck all people who voted this piece of crap up to 7.7 at IMDB, trolling me into renting it!

Dude, I'm a huge sci-fi buff. I watch Blade Runner several times a year, naked, with candlelights lit.

This movie is garbage.

Wanna see a great Time Travel movie? Check out 12 Monkeys.

Jem, lemme know why you didn't like Looper. I also thought it was flawed (still thought it was coo tho).
1) the acting (Willis' acting was up to standard, but the rest: jesus christ...)

2) they didn't pursue the more interesting questions enough, and thus there were too many holes in the plot (particularly in connection to the "rain maker"; there's just so much left unexplained)

4) Jeff Daniels playing evil :rofl:

5) with a great theme like this, there's just no reason why 1 hour of the movie should take place on a farm (the most exciting thing that happens is the kid shouting a hole in a visiting Looper)

I'm sure I could go on....

Overall, just an unimaginative script, not impressed with the screenplay nor the acting. I'm a huge fan of this theme, and I just thought everything about this movie was a huge letdown. Maybe my hopes for it were too high.

I didn't find it to be that bad but definitely not what i was expecting. It felt unfinished, like some parts were missing or smtg. Way overrated.

lol... sci-fi is my favorite movie genre.... Love Blade Runner, one of my top 5 sci-fi films, easily.

In no order, my five fave sci fi films would consist of:

Blade Runner
The Empire Strikes Back
Alien
A Clockwork Orange
The Thing
Big sci fi buff here as well :tup: Good top 5 but i'd personally change ACO for 2001: ASP.

Since i don't feel like going back a hundred pages (shoot me :shifty:) and you guys are into Sci fi, have you watched Moon and Cloud Atlas yet? (Even though one is only partially science fiction).

If i had to make a top 5 for the ones released in the last 20 years, it would consist of (In no order) :

Moon
Cloud Atlas
Children of Men
Time Crimes
District 9
