We saw these movies well before we were 16 or 18. Maybe today's grown ups actually didn't watch them and are braindead because of it?
Mandatory watching exercise for everyone:
- the matrix (only the first one, the rest is meh)
- 12 monkeys
- minority report
- oblivion
- idiocracy
- don't look up
The themes are always the same. Peak dystopia, sometimes facilitated by helpful idiots.

Was Minority Report a documentary too?

Oblivion? It was all right, and I recommend it, but I wouldn't call it a mandatory watch, it didn't have any special message

Well yes, I am the authority on my opinions, just like anyone else is on theirs.

That's what I mean, I don't think it belongs next to Matrix or 12 Monkeys. It's a run of the mill Tom Cruise action film. Very enjoyable, but it doesn't break any new ground, in my opinion.

If you don't like it, then move across the Channel.

You meant go to Europ?
