^We're speaking the same language. We got a 65" last year with a Lovesac (teehee) couch with subwoofer, satellite speakers, etc. 17 year old me could never even imagine this level of awesome.

I will never go to a theater again, in case you  were wondering.

Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

our living room is small and the tv is maybe 12 feet away so its almost IMAXish.  :cool:

From what I understand, that is exactly the reason for the unlikely alliance.

An article that explains the factions....again, the movie itself didn't dive very deep into explaining things, although implied ultimately all factions that succeeded had a common enemy by the end.  And one could draw conclusions that the situation represents what people "think" might happen with a certain leader typie in charge.

Saw it with my wife over the weekend.

The story has some tense moments, but overall it just seems to drift. I really can't recommend it.

Maybe when it gets to streaming, and the 1000 other choices you have just don't seem to catch your interest...then you might try it.

Certainly wasn't movie of the year or must see by any stretch, but was "watchable" and had no regrets in seeing it, wife actually like it more than me.  Do think it could be have been better for me if it was more focused on the war but oh well.

Finally saw it.

I thought it sucked. With no context, it's basically meaningless. Barely even thought-provoking when the motives of most combatants in the movie remain almost entirely unknown and it's almost impossible to get behind any character in the movie. I agree with Arizona that there were some tense scenes, but each segment felt totally detached from the whole, leaving the sum very disappointing.

If you haven't seen it yet, definitely skip it until it comes to your subscribed streaming service.

I thought it was pretty much a waste of time too.
