The Grey

Great movie, although very dark (not the cinematography.) Stick around past the end credits.

Really eager to get this one! Gahh long wait times

I missed this at the theater but it got rave reviews by my friends. May have to try a blind buy.

I got the BR a day early from Amazon. The audio is extremely immersive. But the video is not what I recall at the theater - I saw it twice there. Seems to be a lot less grain and some mismatches from sequence to sequence in how the colors look. Still it can be interesting to watch a film a third time because there is always something to learn that I did not realize while watching it the first and second times. And there is the final short sequence at the tail end of the credits that take quite awhile to run.

If you've seen it 3 times must be a darn good film! Hope to watch it tonight for very first time. Beauty of film is watching a movie multiple times and discovering new things with each viewing (now if I can just convince my wife!). Glad to know you need to stick around to the tail end of the credits.

Maybe the release date should be changed to may 15th in the thread title?

Odd that the release date here in Canada is the 22nd...

Yeah wouldn't be the first time though that we get them later than the U.S.

There are deleted scenes which when you watch them, you will know why they were deleted. Then there is the commentary that the detractors of this film will never watch: at the very beginning of the commentary (3 people) the director, I believe, states that the commentary will be done while all 3 of them are drinking scotch and he, jokingly or perhaps seriously, suggests that the viewer do the same. And then there is a commentary on the very last scene in the picture that is at the very end of the closing screen credits.

I was just explaining to my wife how the movie was great up to the end. It was as if the writers/director could not figure out how to film the climatic battle so they just rolled the credits. I failed to watch all of the credits so, I threw it in and skipped to end. I'm a little more satisfied but, not much.

SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!













Liam Neeson, performance in this is one of his best. It's a very exposed and haunting portrayl of a man trying to cope with the events that have occurred in his life. He almost seems exploited in a way considering how close to home this character is.

Xerowarp - Without giving away the farm, I felt the ending was exactly the point of the film and wasn't something where "they couldn't figure out what to do." The outcome of the Neeson-wolf battle doesn't matter; it was the determination of the character to engage in the fight and not lay down that was the point. That was the message you were supposed to walk away from. It's intentionally ambiguous, but then, after you see the credits tag, it's not really. Yet, the overall point wasn't whether or not he lost. It was the fact he chose to live by going down fighting, one way or the other, and hadn't entirely given up hope (watch how he activates the watch to signal for a rescue, even though he had basically ridiculed that device previously)...that was the message...IMO.

I like this one better actually

I did not actually stay for the end credit but I'm guessing

nope

Shame.

You might want to watch the last scene again.

interesting... I don't have access to it anymore. can you post what you thought?

See the Spoiler above. Warning: avoid reading it if you haven't seen the film and want to watch it.

thanks

This is one of those movies that I wasn't going to watch, but the Post Prod company I work for did the sound design and I want to see how things turned out. So a renting we will go...

I hope the wolf stuff doesn't get tooo ridiculous.

Haunting and terrifying . I got the end which has been a point of contention among some viewers . From now on I'm driving to where I have to go . Need to bring this up . Is it me or is movie sound getting better with each passing year ? The sound mix is one of the most immersive I've ever listened to . Got to watch with the air condition all the way up to set the mood .

The wolf stuff is ridiculous, but I think it's suppose to be.

No, not really....this is about making wolves into monsters for the sake of a buck.

Here is a link to another thread that discusses this movie in depth.

Obviously, you are not part of the target audience for this film. Have you seen it?

Making a buck? Most people do something to make a living which you may or may not agree with. Jaws (sharks)? Them (ants)? War of the Worlds (Martians)? The Dictator (a tyrant)? Monsters all of them.

I'm not following....



Are you saying you think I am monster-adverse????

If you look at it as a realistic survival movie, then it will be quite ridiculous, but you would of missed the whole point. This was a fantastic movie, but obviously not for everyone.
