Robert Zemeckis's Here

[quote] The film is also shot from the same vantage point from an unmoving camera..

It's like there's a security camera in the living room that is stationary and is used throughout the entire film. It never moves and it never zooms. Close ups are achieved by actors physically moving closer to the camera.

Groundbreaking, or something. At the very least, it's interesting. Best cinematography will go to Ring Door Bell Camera.

This is a source of pride for Zemeckis?

Sounds like a flop.

I hope someone runs with part of this concept and delivers a fresh as frost out on the pumpkin third season of “Bosom Buddies”!

I am a sucker for shit like this. Boyhood is a personal favorite.

It's novelistic and I love novels more than film. So I tend to be drawn to these types of movies when they come around.

I still haven't seen "Forrest Gump" and will probably wait at least 30 years to see this one.

Do you have 30 years left, hun?

Meh, more mushy tripe from Hanks and Zemekis

Will Hanks sneak more CIA propaganda into this one?

The ads for this film are popping up on TV now.

This looks like utter dreck.

I loved the graphic novel this was based on- it’s the visual equivalent of a tone poem with its poignant era-skipping.

It’s impact was rooted in the contrast between the permanence of places, the ephemeral nature of human existence, and the echoes left by the emotional upheavals in our lives.

I’m not convinced this will translate to film.

Remember when he tried to make motion capture animation happen? The dead-eyed characters from those films still haunt me in my dreams.

Dreary.

No one is going to the movies because all these films are so joyless.
