The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
Thermodynamics 50% of Americans will believe!
Roland Emerich and science usually don't mix very well. This movie is another example. But Emerich is a decent filmmaker who knows enough to make a good flick... Just don't expect good science the same way you must not expect a good script with Micheal Bay.
Dunkirk (2017)
IKEA MOVIE! BRING IT HOME AND ASSEMBLE IT YOURSELF!
Another Christopher Nolan movie where he plays around with time continuitiy... (Eye roll). The truth is: if you were to stitch all point of views in their proper timeline, this would still amount to be an average movie with bad music as a bonus. Story continuity fragmenting is a stlyle, but not a virtue. I can't begin to comprehend how professionnal movie critics can give that movie a 94% score besides them being intellectually pleasuring themselves by thinking they managed to stick it together. A movie doesn't need to be a puzzle.
Blue Thunder (1983)
WHEN MOVIES STILL HAD REAL STUNTS
Old movies have it hard on ImDb. They got pushed in this database without all the benefits modern movies have to artificially boost their initial user score. Publicity stunts, media spin, false "user" feedback... They got none of that. How many bad movies have you seen start at 8,5 and end up being turds. To remedy that, Blue Thunder gets a solid 8 from me. It is a typical 80's flick, sprinkled with sexist and racist bits nobody would dare to approach today. Movies reflect their epoch; here we find a pre-olympic L.A. not very far from it's race crisis. More important, we find real helicopters doing real stunts above and inside the city. No production will ever get a permit to do all this anymore and only for that, that movie is worth watching.
