The last film I watched was The Odyssey about two weeks ago.

I hadn't heard much about this film so I didn't really know what to expect or the plot but I really enjoyed it! It had a great cast and visuals🤩

Have you seen it? What's the last film you watched?

A movie poster for 'The Odyssey,' a film by Christopher Nolan. The main image depicts a colossal, wooden Trojan horse rearing up on its hind legs atop a stone fortress wall, set against a dark, dramatic, cloudy sky. A soldier in ancient Greek armor, including a plumed helmet and cape, is rappelling down a rope that hangs from an open hatch in the horse's belly. Glowing embers drift in the air around the stone wall. Text at the top lists the cast: Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, with Robert Pattinson, and Charlize Theron. Text at the bottom displays the title 'The Odyssey' in a stylized geometric font, the release date '7.17.26', and the tagline 'Shot with IMAX film cameras'."

    You know it's going to be good when Christopher Nolan is involved! I keep seeing great things about this film.

    I watched the hangover trilogy last. It's an easy, silly watch. 😊

    The last film I watched was Weapons. It's a creepy horror about a whole class of kids running off into the night all at once. I thought it was pretty good, but I wasn't sure about the ending. All got a bit comedic in my opinion!

    I also watched the new Anaconda film with Jack Black. It's exactly what you'd expect 😂 Very silly humour and the plot didn't always make much sense, but I still enjoyed it.

    The Gladiator several months ago. I remember seeing it on TV back in around 1991, always remember the grappling hook being shot out of the truck to hook onto the vehicles of dangerous drivers. I ended up buying the DVD to watch it again.

    Basically mechanic Rick Benton transforms his pickup truck into an armoured road warrior vehicle to hunt down reckless and drunken drivers after a maniac in a "death car" kills his younger brother.

    It's an 80's made for TV movie with it's faults, but I like it a lot.

    That's an iconic film @ChrisR777, apparently a sequel is in the works!!

    Both excellent films @Rosie_Scope, I swear Jack Black plays the same character in each film but it just works so well🤣

    I haven't seen either of those @luvpink and @Ross1975, do you recommended?

    I went into Project Hail Mary without knowing the plot @justj74 and I absolutely loved it! I wasn't expecting it to be so much emotional though😅 What was your favourite part?

    Mary_Scope, I guess it depends what kind of films you're into. It's not going to be for everyone, I think most people probably wouldn't care for it, it's not in widescreen, it's VHS quality, low budget (made for TV), and like I said it has it's flaws (things that don't really add up, and an abrupt ending which didn't quite work), but I personally love it.

    If you like muscle cars and vigilantism then it's worth a shot, you can see the whole movie for free on Youtube, or find the DVD on ebay for pocket change. When doing a search for it make sure to include 1986, otherwise it'll mainly be the other Gladiator movie that comes up which is completely unrelated.

    I haven't seen Jennifer's Body since it came out, and I couldn't believe how young Megan Fox was! Maybe I am 17 years older or something? 🤔
