Life SUX!

The 2017 movie that is. Yet another rehash of various sci-fi movies, particularly Alien and Gravity. No new ideas what so ever. And such a predictable ending.

Who would have guessed that - as usual - all alien life is hostile/survivalist... YAWN.

Another to avoid, unless you have been unfortunate enough to have watched this one.

Apart from a couple of "yeah right" moments and some inconsistencies in the capabilities of the alien at various times...I quite enjoyed the movie and surprisingly so did my wife

No but that is Grant Edwards, we were (friendly) strongman rivals and great mates, we used to train together at the ANU fitness centre in fact and we both captained the Australian Strongman Team on different occasions, he won Australia's Strongest man when I was runner up. He was a formidable strongman and was hard to beat. Funnily enough, I had similar mental health experiences a decade and a half ago, that will be highlighted on Monday, so the program will be worth watching ...I may even appear in some of the footage..?

Lewis, I hope your strange drive to waste time watching useless movies has zero correlation with your taste in telescopes!

Well I don't know that I have a good one for you, but if you want something a little different I watched "Train to Busan" last night as a "family thing". It's in Korean, ..... and we're not Korean.

Just watched it, quite good, slightly different take, dramatic and classic, some good acting too (for a zombie movie) thanks for the tip.
