Found it on a sale rack at Wal-Mart. A cheap sale rack – somebody in store management apparently didn’t expect to sell them otherwise.
Thanks to Ian I’ve already seen the first two installments: I reviewed the first one here, and don’t really remember much about the second except that it was even flatter and less entertaining than the first.
So maybe only vestigial tribal loyalty caused me to drop ten bux on the set, I dunno. I’ll watch the last installment just so I can say I’ve seen the whole thing, but frankly feel no urgency about re-watching any part of it I’ve already seen. It’s not just bad, it’s disappointing.
ETA: Movie Review: It doesn’t get better.
I rarely like a movie better than the book. There is virtually no chance I’d like this movie–the book was poorly written hamfisted propaganda for a message I believe in.
Well if you can’t fall asleep that should do it. First two were boring and I can’t imagine that the third will be better.
Amazing how modern marketing can take what was a single, albeit lengthy, book and turn it into a “trilogy” of film.
Guess it would be kinda tricky to condense all that into a couple of hours, short of deleting all the soliloquies.
And of course “DUNE” turned out to be a twenty-seven-book “trilogy” . . .
😉
I feel you on the “tribal loyalty” thing. For all of ol’ Strident Ayn’s denunciation of altruism, it was all too apparent in places that these movies were labors of love. There was a very “Hey! Let’s put on a show!” vibe going on.
