The first shot opens and it's like it's straight out of a Tarantino film, long title sequence then transitions to us meeting all these dancers that are brought to this studio. The first 40 minutes is all about getting to know who each of these young characters are before things.get.crazy.

the second half is just insane. constant screaming with a pulsating heart of music constantly playing in the background. This whole movie feels like you are watching a music video... lots of dancing, there is not much dialogue, really no plot instead it's all based on character interactions.

Sofia Boutella (who has an extensive dancing background - including dancing for Madonna - i've been a fan of hers for years and really love the acting choices she has made recently), she plays our main lead that we follow the majority of the time and this is where it turns into a Birdman style camera work that seems to never break. The camera just follows character to character with a series of shots of crazy things happening, either to the character we are following or any of the character's nearby.

You are trying to piece together what exactly is happening, but the camera doesn't let you know anymore than these characters do, until the very final moments.

i'm not sure how much I liked this, but it's very creative, the french director Gaspar Noé really captured this crazy frenetic night in a really insane way. so just for that, it's worth checking it out, if you can handle it.

Since this just came on Netflix, I finally decided to check it out.

For me nobody can replace Harrison Ford as Han Solo, it's my main reason why I waited so long to even watch this. Along with all the mixed reviews when it hit theatres, I just didn't have a need to see it right away.

That said, I really enjoyed it. Ron Howard did a good job of finishing this movie, but I am curious as to what Lord & Miller would have made (especially considering how well Spider-Verse was done).

like I said before Harrison Ford IS Han Solo for me, but Alden Ehrenreich did a serviceable job. He definitely created his own Solo while giving some nods to the way Ford played him. I'm always a fan of Emilia Clarke (KHALEESI) and of course Woody Harrelson. Donald Glover just crushes it and I wish we had more time with him.

Aside from liking the new characters, the visuals are really well done, and it had a simple enough story to keep me engaged. Showing Han Solo's beginnings, meeting Chewie, and showing how he came to be the smuggler we know of him today. I'm glad I finally got to see it, not sure where it ranks for me among the recent Star Wars movies but it's definitely worth a watch.

also, Disney - If anything else comes of this, can we PLEASE get a Lando movie?!

"Max: Very nice house, Tony Stark. Should we give our drink orders to JARVIS? Brooks: I got the Tony Stark part, but then you went full nerd on me."

Taking the fun concept of a Game movie and turning it on it's head multiple times. A lot of silliness and over the top action, it's exactly the type of movie that just fills you with happiness on rainy night.

Fantastic cast of Jason Bateman, Rachel McAdams, Kyle Chandler, Sharon Horgan, Billy Magnussen, Lamorne Morris, Kylie Bunbury, and Jesse Plemons. Their comedic chemistry is really good, it's directed well, and has a great script. I really hope that they get to make a sequel.

I don't want to spoil any of the plot so this is a short review...don't even watch the trailer before seeing this movie, just watch it and enjoy it!
