I'm surprised there's no comments here and that there were some really harsh reviews on this. I thought if was amazing, a real therapy for any girl who lost a father who cared for her. Russell Crowe was amazing, and I really loved Aaron Paul in the romantic hero role, he deserves more of them, with these eyes of his. I wept in this movie, although it's very rare of me. Only weak part I saw was the music - could've been less cliche. But all the rest - it's great. Perhaps it was unnapreciated because the idea of a connection between a father and child is still so unaccepted? Or maybe the fact that the women presented there were pretty selfish (Elizabeth, and the literary agent)? I don't know, but I know for a fact that there are men like that out there, I hope there's gonna be more of them. Watch this movie. It worth your time.

@mino_an I totally agree, what a beautiful film, and life isn't fair sometimes..
What a waste of Rami Malek and Christop Waltz….
Story made no sense…
This is not a James Bond movie TBH should have had a different nameI give it a 4 for the bar scene that was good… the rest better skip and go back to watch some of the classics…

Second that. One of the worse Bond movie. Also I’m afraid next Bond will be black trans him/his/it fighting not for Her Majesty but for social justice ;)
This 4th season has taken a different path from the previous seasons, but I like it so far.

That’s good to hear - your comment has actually made up my mind to watch it (I was hesitant because season 3 made my head hurt, it was so formulaic)!
im scared to watch it, spirit was one of my very happy childhood memories .. n im scared if this one will ruin its image in my head or disappoint me ...
if anyone watch it let me know if i should take the risk or notloading replies
@ima-senpai Not sure if you already watch it but if not don't do it, this movie is terrible!

Started off as a half decent action movie till the truly horrible third act.
Why would the government not help kill them under the ice, they were quick enough to believe 'the future people'? Just so you can have your small group of outcasts save the world? Why go through more than half of the movie to help 'the future people' and then barely use what you fought for, the toxin? Terrible writing.

@ner0p - Yes, future daughter didn't know where the origin point was, nor even that it was a CRASH site. She simply figured that her father could take back the toxin, have it mass produced, and then hit them when and where they first emerged, which they knew was SOMEWHERE in the artic region of of Russia. But even in the future, they had never been able to pinpoint it. Wifey deduced that, if they had never spotted a LANDING site, then they must be looking in the wrong time frame, and that maybe they had been on earth MUCH LONGER than they thought. This led the father back to cancer merc, who had the claw around his neck. When the chubby biology guy examined it under a microscope, he discovered Chinese volcanic ash, which led them to high school volcano nerd, who pinpointed the ONLY eruption that could have deposited Chinese volcanic ash in Russia, which led them to the Russian glacier. Magnetic anomalies with their snowmobile LCD readouts parked them on top of the buried spaceship, which they explosively excavated (yes, very silly) and upon entering it they THEN discovered the non monster aliens who had been transporting the creatures for unknown reasons, but had CRASHED on earth. (maybe not even their original target). So maybe not a cogent "plan" on her part, but as she stated, basically a timey whimey hail Mary.
Don't MOST sci-fi movies seem more stupid ( I prefer SILLY) on paper than the end visual product? That's why it's called "science-FICTION". Suspend disbelief and just let the Chris Pratt vibes flow through you........

@paladin5150 Thanks for taking your time to write a synopsis of the stupid third act so people know what I'm talking about.

@magenof - Sorry the plot was too complicated for you to comprehend. She discovered the toxin, but, it would have been nearly impossible to kill all of them in the future, as by then they had proliferated throughout the ENTIRE earth and had decimated it. Her plan ALL ALONG was for her Father to take the toxin back and stop the entire war from ever occurring by killing them all at the source, which it turns out, was a crashed space ship buried under a Russian glacier. They started' injecting them one by one, but the entire nest woke up, thus necessitating the cancer merc detonating the entire ship, killing all but the few who got out, (taken care of by Pops), and the Queen. Though they were unable to put her down conventionally, eventually, he was able to hand deliver the coup de grace, by shoving a vial straight down her throat. Buckwheats for her, boat drinks all around for everyone else. Government didn't want to help because, like with Vietnam, the populous had become fed up with the whole affair, and the optics weren't particularly good for a covert mission into hostile Russian territory on an unproven hunch. But, he "knew a guy", that could get them there, and the stranded mercs from the future were down to finish their mission, which they did with aplomb. Hope this helped clarify your confusion. Glad to help.

John Krasinski has proven to have a decent level of craftsmanship behind the camera but this movie proves that he should be kept away from screenwriting.
I’m really surprised at a lot of the positive reviews because the plotting and beats in this movie are super dumb. There is a small hint at the level we are working at when we are with Krasinski on “Day 1” where we get a small peek at life before the aliens came and they make a choice to drop in an Easter egg reference to the toy spaceship that gets his child killed from the first one. It’s a seemingly innocuous little call back, foreshadow, wink, knudge, whatever, but it is a perfect example of the types of choices made in this movie. I mean not to ruin anything but essentially an alien pilots a boat in this film. Overall it just bugged me.

@jimdarko Watch it again, an alien doesn’t actually drive a boat lol. It was just short scene where he moved it when he was on the front of it.
It was really no big deal.
Am I the only one that didn't laugh a single time during this movie? :/

don't really mind about "dirty" jokes or with less normal topics, the issue to me was... her :p
I had a very low expectation because it's Chaves, but it turned out to be the BEST out of three Conjuring films! What makes this film really fresh is that it took a different approach than the first two. It's toned down, there's not many batshit crazy scenes like levitating, flying objects, or constant jumpscares, but it works as an intriguing experience of investigation about a demonic possession that was responsible for multiple murders and this case stakes are much higher that it could potentially put the Warrens at risk. It's very unsettling, the scares are nicely done, the sound is effective. The couple chemistry is far better in this and their romantic moments are less cheesy. Overall it offers a nice change to the franchise without sacrificing the quality of the first two.

@csrz the best one? Lol, no.
The worst romantic comedy ever. The main character does a dirty thing comparable to rape, after which they lived happily ever after.
The film justifies the rapist and convinces us that a raped woman will finally be happy with it!loading replies
@maleniak switching a semen sample is not rape..
