1917 was a big disappointment for me as well, the story line/plot was absurd (IMHO).

Just my tuppence worth of course!

Cheers Paul

I enjoyed 1917, plot concerns aside, it was well shot and captured some of the feel of the period and made for an entertaining watch. Pretty much everything Ithoriel said really. I watched it on my tablet (on Amazon Prime I think) a little while back so can't speak to big-screen experience, but was enjoyable enough there. And I mean a small screen held close to your face is kind of like a big screen far away....

I too enjoyed 1917, I'm not sure what I was expecting given the overall plot point, but the cinematography and overall film experience is fantastic. I watched it streamed on the TV a few months ago (may even of been a year ago...)

She has the bad habit of doing clothed scenes, just for shock value.

New Dune Movie is FAB!

Makes me want to dust down those FWC toys and get zapping the lazer agian (ooo-errr missus)!

'Indestructible' looks fantastic... hope the music was just for the trailer? Wonder if an English dubbed version? If it had been a Hollywood movie...

[Heedless Horseman]

If 'Indestructible' is 'Invincible'... have ordered 2h DVD with subtitles in English. Looks same, so will have to see!

[Heedless Horseman]

Yes, same movie. Not bad... a bit 'contrived' in story... but what War film is not?
Usual gripes over equipment. Set in 1942. Static T34/76s around scenes, but moving vehicles T34/85s. Pretty good mock-up PzIVs... but with Schurzen, Lead tank a KV1... either real or a VERY good mock-up... looked genuine, anyway. Pity it was in a 'mixed' unit with T34s... maybe That is why they couldn't get spare parts! lol 
'Tactics'... hm. Tanks and trucks able to 'wander around' on their own...BUT, Russia a very big place. Combat scenes... some nice shots but pyrotechnics a bit limited and repetitive.
Overall, I liked it...seen much worse!

I find Olga Pogodina insanely attractive.

Anyone seen/heard of Ridley Scott's The Last Duel?

I hadn't heard anything about it until an article today about how he was blaming Millenials with their "cell phones" and "Facebook" and how "the millennian do not ever want to be taught anything unless you're told it on a cellphone" for it flopping at the cinema and only making back a quarter of its budget. 

Putting aside the completely ignorant nonsense of his statement and his clear confusion over who comprises what generation, what they like, and whether they go to the cinema or use Facebook, and just how much can be learned through a mobile device.... I'm wondering if anyone had actually seen the film?

Or heard about it even? As I suspect one of the reasons for its flop was more to do with its lack of promotion.

Despite its bizarre half helmets (because you just have to see the actors face at all times) and typical "everything in history is grimy and has a muted colour palette" look, it could be an entertaining enough film and I'll probably watch it when it pops up on a streaming platform.

Yes. Saw the reviews. Films seldom interest me.  I didn't see anyhing of particular interest. Looks at the incident through the three perspectives of the husband, wife and alleged perpetrator.

The Last Duel is rated 85% by critics and 81% by audiences on Rotten Tomatoes (www.rottentomatoes.com) which suggests that most who have actually seen it have enjoyed it.
