The NeverEnding Story NEXT please!

Love the aesthetic and obscurity of this film. Kind of reminds me of "The Crow" and "Blade Runner" combined.

Great Reaction. Other movies with Keifer Sutherland that I recommend are: The Lost Boys (1987) Flatliners (1990) Young Guns (1988) I also recommend a must see Labyrinth (1986) with Jennifer Connelly.

My God it has been a very very long time since I watched this. Like before the year 2000. Lmao time does fly.

Hello Munchies !! Well and another full discovery for both of us! Even for the name... I don't think I heard it . maybe 1 time, because I don't feel like it's toatlly unknow.. but that's why we are together! for discovering movies together! So let's go!! For the movie Gotham City is calling, they want their darkness back ! 😅Yeah Chi had Batman vibe by the name. the movie is saying "hold my beer , you saw nothing already!" 🤣 The begining feel like the beginning of video game! one of investigation. Slender man !? 😅 Why I don't trust the psychiatrist? The rat in the maze...I may overthinking the scene. BUT, we had 1 rat in the maze (that could represent john) and now that this doctor is speaking at emma, he put a new rat in the maze. and the camera is on the rat just as he said her name.... did the movie just said "Now Emma enter the maze/game that the movie is playing" 🤔... If it's that...damn the movie hit hard from the begining! "What kind of mom?" Well a prostitute mom...She's not the first one in movie/TV show I saw "working" with her children near... or even seeig it. 😨 Yeah, the names of those "creatures" are funny (and I think the word Chi was looking of is "syllable"😉 word made of one syllable.) he made a door ???? WHAT !!! I think Katie and I never had such a similar reaction (almost quote by quote) seeing something!🤣🤣 "you are not pale?" 😅 true! look who's talking... "I feel like that sometimes" (whith the memory being dreams) OH NO Katie is one of them !! 🤯🥺😅😅 They should need to breath Chi. if they don't the brain is not having oxygen. it's very dangerous. it's like when your heart is stopping for too ong. they may have brain damage. so he better be able to breath! but it's a funny joke in a very dark movie. (and I think we need to laugh a little here)😁 "Why are they doing that?" good question! "We should sleep early tonight" 😅🤣Funny but not sure it's worth the prizes. plus if it mean forgetting all our beautifull memories with other (because they changed everything...) and who said your life will go in the "you'll be wealthier" or "happier" one? 🤣 "is she singing to herself" To be honest, it feel like it. or the song is describing the events really well... Wait ...So those pale white alien have a common memory? (if I understood his dialog with the wife well). So they are using manking as a way to experience "a life on their own"?...with their own memory...instead of a common pool of memory... I'm not sure... damn this movie is hard to understand! Ok I wasn't that far in my guesses. one hive-mind looking for a way to survive using human's mind.OK.... "Those who created those memory were Lazy" 🤣 "we use your dead as vessels" so that's why they are so pale ! these "strangers" are those "worms" inside the head an they control dead human as "vessels". they're pale because those bodies are dead.... "sleep" if it was so easy !! 🤣 My only question is: where did they get the food for the city? there's no crop or farming? Or they use their powers...as John created an ocean and a sun !!! why not food too... For the conclusion Ok after seeing the movie, for me, it goes right in the "cosmics horrors" style !!! It fit perfectly: we are discovering a truth bigger than mankind (the world is not what we think it's supposed to be) and we are losing our mind in the process! (manny characters seem to become crazy) And it's mixed with an investigation plot (just like the "call of Cthulhu" or other loveraftian stories.) and some paranormal. the only missing things is an all powerfull god who don't care about human and will destroy mankind on a whim because mankind is a particule of a particule for them. for short: a truth unsee by everyone but for a few, the reality is not what we think, as we discover the truth we became crazy, can't trust anyone, power beyond imagination and a threat on the entire species (not just a handfull of human). that the cosmic horror for you. And for once in cosmic horror, mankind can fight back, becoming a god and not only keep existing under the threats of those "strangers". "What make us human?" I think movie is mixing many points and forget some. It's seem to say "memory is not important, feelings (or instinct) are" but after all, it's our past that define our feelings toward some situation. the feelings, the instinct were here first. but it's the memories of older events who are making us say "I'll do it" or " i will not". Because we remember what was teach to us (our morals code), how we react before in a similar situation, the wounds we got before ...and so on ! Instinct and feelings are here. but memory are shapping our decisions. John didn't kill because his "instinct" wasn't there. but it's his memory of everything he saw since the beginings who shaped his final choice. That's how I see it. For the movie itself: It's really good !!! It's hard to follow sometimes, as Chi said. but everything is memorable! (Yuna spoke each vilains who are unique despite looking the same!) And each visuals are really great! it keep us engaged through all of it!! The spacing is very good too. We began slowly, it's a strange crime and little by little more strange element come and in the end...nothing is what you believe it is! For me, the closest movie to "cosmics horror" I saw in his structure that I ever saw! really impressive. Thanks for the discovery! (both you and the one who recommended it !!) Have a wonderfull day, Munchies !! PS: I Love your funny reaction at the ending. playing with each other (katie losing her bait, Chi wishing to be rich in one night like that). the more I see you like that, the more I like you all! 😅😉😁 Now, I'm scare for next weeks.....Hotel Rwanda....Oh my after the monster from other universe....the real monsters in our worlds😨

Dear Ladies, Thank you for your reaction. As always, you ladies are great. I had always considered 'Dark City' an underrated and inventive film. It starts as a noir mystery, has an epic sci-fi battle for a climax, and concludes with a happy ending on an actual flat earth. Playing John Murdock is possibly Rufus Sewell's best known role. Jennifer Connelly movies include 'A Beautiful Mind' (2001) and 'Requiem for a Dream' (2000). William Hurt (Inspector Bumstead) is in 'Body Heat' which Yuna recently watched. Looking forward to your reactions to 'Hotel Rwanda' and 'Misery'.

from a time when writers had original ideas....

Gam

Great reaction can ya'll react to these comedy movies: 'Happy Gilmore' 1996, and 'Bachelor Party' 1984

Mark W

Mark W

havent seen anyone react to Lost Boys either. Flatliners? Oh snap!

dorkVader

I hope Hela is doing fine not going through some problem or anything,

One Filthy Pilot

One of my favorite movies about alien abduction. Thanks for the reaction Munchies! Maybe one day you'll react to Dark City's little known sequel (at least in my head cannon, it's the sequel), Requiem for a Dream (2000), where John is gone and Anna changes her identity to Marion.

Jeremy Sparks

Same. I've been really missing her in these reactions.

chris brown

Great reaction to a great movie

Proto Type

I've noticed a lot less Hella in my life lately.... But at least we have Yuna, which is my [second] favorite. It's just something about her more quiet and serious nature, keeps me wanting more reactions with her 🫶

Alec Dacyczyn

That ending reminds me of another Jennifer Connelly movie you should watch: Requiem for a Dream (2000)

Joel Purvis

+1 for Happy Gilmore! Hilarious classic.

Movie Munchies

Don’t worry, Hella is doing fine! 😊 She’s just been quite busy lately, but she’ll be back with more reactions as soon as she’s able to arrange her schedule. ❤️

thansen

Well, Jen Murray did a few months ago. But I would love to see the Munchies react to it, too.

steve oliver

I saw this movie when it came out/ only had vague memories of it the doctor and the tunining, But what a great movie! PS is jennifer Connelyh the most gorgeuss actress ever

Chris Kodama

I remember watching this movie many years ago and it really left it's mark on me. The visuals, the moody atmosphere, the characters, the idea behind the story, the acting was all so impressive and the movie has held up well over time. Really enjoyed seeing it again while Chi, Yuna and Katie reacted to it. Glad they liked it. Chi - The second song that Emma sings in the nightclub/lounge is The Night Has a Thousand Eyes from 1962 and recorded by Bobby Vee (a teen idol in America at the time). The version in the movie is a much slower rendition of the song as the original was much faster and more upbeat. There are a few movies that come to mind after seeing this one that Movie Munchies might want to consider for future reactions: Pandorum (2009), 12 Monkeys (1995), The Adjustment Bureau (2011), Brazil (1985), Snowpiercer (2013), Donnie Darko (2001), The City of Lost Children (1995), Moon (2009) and Cube (1997).
