Here | Movie Review

I think Zemeckis

The amount of forehead in the thumbnail is incalculable

So, what's on "How to Revive Robert Zemeckis' Movie Career" today?

I’m just excited for a movie that doesn’t drop the F bomb 146 times, have 7 sex scenes and is not about a super hero

THIS is what i thought Terrence Malick's "Tree of Life" was supposed to be.

Yep, we are in Oscar bait season!

Unique idea wasted on sentimental tripe.

I get the feeling this is an idea for a film that Zemeckis first had when he was a kid.

This is going to be a flob at the box office nobody wants this movie hopefully they didn't spend 200 million making it or it's going to take the crown 👑 from Joker 2 as the Biggest loser of 24 🙄

It's Carousel Of Progress: The Movie!

Great review! I like your style and feel that you’re still rocking!
🤟😝

I am obsessed with the first trailer, I’ve watched it over and over

Guess we gotta give him ALL CAPS when we say BRAD JONES!

Brad, your thumbnail work is phenomenal again. I'm not even 100% sure that scene won't be in the actual movie!

Even though I'm not looking forward to that 'Gladiator' sequel at all, I will admit that popcorn bucket is pretty awesome.

See this movie just feels like a play with extra steps. Seems so unnecessary

I thought this movie was a beutiful story about life in general.Most people wont get it but I was one that did.

I hadn't heard about this movie until seeing this review pop up in my subscriptions, but I'm glad I did learn about its existence. Even if it's not something I'd really seek out to watch myself, I can appreciate when a film (or any form of art for that matter) tries something out of the ordinary like this, and I respect it.

We'll you're a romantic. Did they have a guy come in and hide gold bars, then they should have a guy come in and jerk off 20 year later over the gold bars, and then they should have a guy shit himself. because we would see alot of these things if we were a fly on the wall.

The Room.

Its taken 20 years, but computer generated Tom Hanks finally looks believable.

I think this is one of those movie that tried too hard to be way creative and failed miserably. Another example the horrible Cats movie.

Forest Gump rip off

there

I saw this one at the closing night of the Chicago International Film Festival with Zemeckis attending in the audience. I think that combined with the curmudgeonly man sitting in front of me who scoffed and said "garbage" during the scene where the black family has a talk with their son about the police made me determined to like it. It was sweet and as someone who isn't a huge Tom Hanks fan I thought this was just about as good as it could possibly be with the concept. Not sure why the old house had to be Ben Franklin's son instead of just some other random colonial guy though.

A bottle movie

Looks like the Carousel of progress ride at Disneyland. ...lol

Why didn't they just have Colin Hanks play a younger Tom Hanks? 🤔

No, this movie is not going to work for a lot of people, but that's why I find experiments like this so fascinating. For what it's worth, I had a good time with this and I can safely say I've never seen a movie try anything exactly like it, although the comparisons to Cloud Atlas are very accurate. The editing and camerawork might be the best of Zemeckis's career, and the guy has two editing Oscars in his filmography.

The Forrest Gump reunion.

I like your style of movie review...Nice! I do movie reviews too but in a different style. 👍👍

Yes, The movie “Here” based off of the comic book of the same name by Richard McGuire.

I think it would've been nice if the movie went into the far future. I mean, if it's gonna start with dinosaurs, it might as well.

I also think they could've made it darker and less Rockwellian, like why not have a murder or home invasion at some point?

I have to say, though, nearly everyone at the screening I attended was an old lady. I was almost wondering if maybe they'd think I was the ghost of their dead husband.

Anyway, I appreciated the gimmick of what would've otherwise been a run-of-the-mill Hallmark TV movie, but wish they did more with it.

Say what you will about the end result, I really appreciate that there are still directors who take swings with creative, ambitious projects like this

After watching your review, I went and saw the movie here and I absolutely loved it. I cried several times throughout the movie and it truly touched my heart. It’s a feel good film. Fuck the critics.

It was the Film version of Disneys Carousel of Progress😂😂😬😬

Let's turn the apartment scene from City of God into its own feature lenght movie ;) Na this would be too easy. But yet reminded me of it.

PeeWee Herman: Hey kids, today's secret word, to describe this movie, is....



....NOTHING! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Remember Corona Hanks and that whole drama? He's back to form in this where they equate corona to the plague.

Lol, the way Brad describes a movie always has me laughing.

Instead of using weird special effects to make Tom Hanks and Robin Wright look young, they should of just used Tom's son Colin and Robin's daughter Dylan. They're both actors, who look just like their parents. I feel like it would of made it WAY less distracting.

The ending is the best part. We finally get to see the dinning room and outside!

want my money back

Sounds like the "average" lives of middle-class Americans.

I just can't watch Tom Hanks anymore. He has spent so much time promoting his extreme left-wing "Pedo-fornia" political nonsense that I just don't buy him as a working class everyman anymore. He's not that good of an actor. I don't care how many awards his co-workers give him.

Floptastic.
