I saw it because it was good to go back to the cinema. There was a film out years ago called Tron, which was Disney and had the protagonists riding motor bikes inside a computer on the printed circuit boards trying to kill each other. Telnet was better but not much.

that was the heyday of tech films - I couldn't even watch beyond 10 mins of the latest star wars (saved it to try again later)

I had a feeling I would think the same, but would go just for the novelty after so many months. I speak as someone who went about twice a week pre covid!

Well I?m going to go against the tide and say I bloody loved it. Not Kenneth Branagh?s atrocious accent or Elizabeth Debicki?s mournful looks (such a waste of a great actress) but the rest was fabulous. Bonkers and in no way scientifically accurate (!) but beautifully shot and nicely wrapped up at the end. Long though.

I am very glad you liked it!

Saw it, didn't follow it, read the below, still don't know what the hell happened 🤣🤣🤣


I still enjoyed it, though 🤣


We saw it up the road, there were only four people there!

Empire described it as "bonkers". I agree. Bonkers in a good way, though!


All the acting was brilliant, apart from Michael Caine, who just seemed to be going through the motions. But then - he's Michael Caine .....


Oh, and there were a few good jokes amongst the violence 🤣

Are you talking about the fact that Marty didn't have Parkinsons's in the future?

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
    • It's not really though, is it. It's practical.  At least we're allowed Christmas lights.
