I think for me it's alien: covenant. I was really interested in the ideas explored in prometheus and covenant just expanded on them. I don't get much into the details of why it is or isn't a good movie.

Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.

not really sure how people view it (or even how i’d view it now nearly 30 years on) but i liked that weird Final Fantasy: Spirits Within movie when it came out. haven’t seen it since it was in theatres though so not sure what i’d think of it now; i just thought it was neat at the time (and age of 10)

Alaska. That movie with Dirk Benedict, Thora Birch, a yellow Piper Cub and northern nature.

There are a ton of comedies where the critic ratings are low but the audience is high.

Grandma's Boy 15 critic 85 audience was the one that is at the top of my head. Hot damn that is a spread, and I am with the audience.

I always go by audience. The fact that they are critics seems like a type of selection bias.

I've always thought percy jackson and the Olympians was alright. Sure it's not exactly a 1:1 with the books but I enjoyed them
