Finished season 1 of Stranger Things and I really enjoyed it. I think I dug it because it reminded me of Stephen King's The Mist, especially Frank Darabont's film adaptation. There were parallels such as the military installation, the opening of a portal/tear in space, and the monster that dwelled in the Upside Down. I know Stranger Things draws from tons of other 80's source material but this was the most notable for me, and maybe Stand By Me.

War for the Planet of the Apes: 9/10
Awesome film and just gut wrenching. Loved the story and considering most of it was cgi it was rendered very well.

I really enjoyed it; definitely surpassed my expectations.

Just finished watching dark - really enjoyed it. Part of the appeal was the scenery and ambience. On a sidenote a former student of my wife plays a leading role.

I just saw the new Star Wars. It was Amazing! The visual effects were so good. 10/10

I must be one of the few people on this planet that isn't totally geeked out by Star Wars. I mean, I've watched Force Awakens and Rogue One and I liked them but I waited months til they came out on dvd because I have zero interest in standing in line fighting those crowds.

Said it before- none of the post-1984 movies matter to me. I'm sure I'll see it eventually, but I'm way more interested in the upcoming Black Panther.

Kinda feel the same way. But I really liked Episode 3, except the 'your name is Luke and Leia' tacked on part. And I really enjoyed this new one too. It was really funny at parts and there were several interesting plot twists I didn't expect.

I saw The Last Jedi today. I quite enjoyed it (and had a free ticket to the IMAX), but the new films feel a bit like a facsimile of the original Star Wars trilogy.
I'd argue that Bladerunner 2049 does a better job of refreshing a franchise, and Logan does the burnt out hero better.
The new Black Panther trailer played before it, and I agree with @Chris that it looks fun.

I'm going on Monday. Now to bury my head in the sand and avoid spoilers until then.
more apt than you could imagine ;).
I disliked it. Too disney, not enough lore/history for me. Not the target audience, didn't expect to like it. I've given up on movies. Thankfully I enjoy reading

Well, I thought The Last Jedi was fun. Being a Star Wars fangirl since toddlerhood, I will basically like anything Disney comes up with, and then want the lunchbox. I laughed, I cried, I got pumped about the space battles, I rolled my eyes about the cheesy stuff–in short, I Star Wars'ed.
