Recommendations: Dredd (2012) (Patreon)

There's really something to be said for movies that make their artificiality work.

Dredd's first impressions are that of CGI that wasn't particularly impressive even for the time, with a seemingly one-note premise, and a quite hilarious title card that I think was made by videocopilot.

Yet, I just finished watching it again start to finish after intending to just rewatch a few scenes... it's almost like I watched it for the first time all over again, and it's acting, pacing, set-pieces, music, editing, and indeed, artificial appearance, is as thoroughly entertaining as I remember.

Small wonder Karl Urban's greatest wish is to make a sequel.
