LOL, I'm not triggered at all. In fact I find it amusing how bad Disney can be lately. I just want to have good movies to watch. I can't get that, so I might as well call them out for it.

Why are so many people so triggered by honest reviews of Disney? You don't own the billion dollar company.
Interesting though, as it seems to be only you who is continually harping on this movie. If that isn't the definition of "triggered" then I don't know what is. Because if you weren't triggered you wouldn't come here day in and day out trying your hardest to prove all the different ways this or any other Disney movie you dislike is somehow the worst movies and most expensive movies on the planet and how Disney is lying and paying off people or whatever other conspiracy theories you subscribe to today.

But no you're not triggered at all. :rolleyes:

So they get trapped in a space themed board game?
Yes. The whole house gets put in space. They encounter asteroids, an astronaut and have to fight off aliens. It stars Josh Hutcherson and Kristen Stewart.

They freeze Kristen Stewart. It's the most life like she has ever looked.

Ach, that hurts. We're big fans of her post-Twilight work -- from looking, I'm pretty sure we've seen literally everything she's been in since 2016, even the tiny releases.

Funnily, I haven't seen Zathura, though. I wasn't in the right age bracket when that came out.

She was probably 15 when she did Zathura. She was really good in Panic Room (2002) with Jodie Foster.
Ever since Twilight, she has been known as "Old Dead Eyes".

Ever since Twilight, she has been known as "Old Dead Eyes".

That may be true in the meme circles of the Internet, but I'd be pretty confident in assuming that at least 90% of the people who say that haven't seen her in anything since then either, and certainly not in her best work. The Twilight movies are horrible pieces of dreck made by mediocre filmmakers -- I've seen three of them for some reason.

Anyway, off-topic until K.Stew joins the MCU, which I don't think would ever happen from hearing her talk in interviews.

It’s explored more in-depth and directly in the TV series, which I recommend watching first for context.

I suspect that lack of context could be part of what led to lower scores.

It’s still in the film, though. It’s treated as important (as it deserves.) Some more subtle, some more overt.

I also suspect certain people don’t appreciate that, which could also be part of what led to lower scores.

I have actually seen the series, but it's been a few years -- maybe I'll rewatch before going to see this.

I remember really liking the framework of the series. It remains the only interesting treatment of the fallout of the Thanos snap that I've seen (and not that I've watched everything) in the MCU -- equating the returning 50% of the population to refugees is a pretty genius analogy. If it didn't fall apart, the world would have moved on without needing them, after all. I remember being sympathetic to the "villain's" cause for the first half of the series before it abruptly turned on a dime making them bomb-throwing terrorists because nuance is hard. [This is probably due in part to the rewrite to move away from a bio-terrorism storyline, but maybe it was always going to be clunky.] I remember enjoying the struggle for the Shield between Sam, Bucky, and the (now) U.S. Agent, as well as the revelation about other Super Soldier experiments from the past,

She was terrible in Underwater and Charlie's Angels.

Spoken like someone who only watched her in Twilight and her Snow White movie…. Both her and Paterson has proven themselves to be quite remarkable actors in the independent world

It's not uncommon for Disney.

But I'm sure most studios don't want to spend 350+ million on movies and do 3 reshoots.

You said:

They shot almost 3 movies worth of footage.

This is on the low side. Most movies shoot more than 3 movies worth of footage. By claiming they only shot three films worth, you are pointing out how well the director did.

Finally, I agree, most studios don't want to spend 350+ million on the production budget for a movie so it is a good thing that in all likelihood, Disney didn't do that on this one. With marketing it might hit 350, but closer to 300 would be more realistic based on what we have so far.

This is likely true for most actors. Lucas got Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor and Natalie Portman to all look like acting was a confusing concept they had never encountered.
Agreed. We know that all three are far better actors then what we saw. Ewan can handle a crappy director and still make it look great. Portman needs that direction more.
