I'm legit hyped the this movie.
I love Milla in everything she's done. Bautista has turned into a surprisingly restrained actor for action. And the concept is classic fantasy, which hasn't been done on screen a lot recently. Anderson directing is a surprise, but he's done good work, so I'm down with it.
This is going to sound dickish but I swear it isn’t. I’m actually curious to know what anderson's “good works” are.
Edit: and maybe a small bit on why they are good.
I really like the original Mortal Kombat and am a huge fan of Event Horizon. Then Anderson stumbled with Soldier, which is OK. The most interesting fact is that die to an Easter egg, it is actually set within the Blade Runner universe.
Alien Vs Predator I really like, despite the alien gestation time being really short, but the film does contain the best shot ever, the look of a surprised predator. Always makes me laugh.
Yeah, I agree, soldier was a huge stumble lol.
I don't know that I'd be as enthusiastic if this was him trying to make something like a period romance, or a serious drama. But just switching out a fantasy setting for the sci-fi type settings he usually does? It's a good bet that it'll at least be entertaining.
