I Would deffinately recommend this movie. I watched it last Friday.

Lockout (2012) - IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1592525/)

A man wrongly convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage against the U.S. is offered his freedom if he can rescue the president's daughter from an outer space prison taken over by violent inmates.

Seen the previews. Looks like a "forget the story, just enjoy the ride" kind of movie. Should be fun.

And Maggie Grace is beautiful, so that will help it out.

I watched this movie Saturday and it is pretty damn good. Could have been alot better, but it was better than some of the crap Hollywood tries to pass off to us now.

every time I see this preview I just think Fortress 2 with Christopher Lambert. It looks pretty fun, I'm sure I'll catch it on DVD in a few months

It looks like escape from LA in space...... So I'll probably watch it.

Looks like I know what I'm watching tomorrow.
Saw the trailer when I saw American Reunion, and thought it looked bada$$.

It looks interesting like an 80's action movie but instead of getting some musclebound brute to star in it they got someone who can both act and do action like Guy Pearce.

Watched it today and I enjoyed it.
I loved the character Snow and Guy Pearce was great. Only thing I didn't like, the CGI for the highway chase at the beginning was really bad.

Watched it on DVD and it was great... pretty much all action and Guy Piece was really good... so was Maggie Grace.

The futuristic special effects in the beginning are kinda weak, but only for like 5 seconds in the beginning during a car chase... the rest of the special effects are definitely good enough.

Even though he didn't direct it... it does feel like a typical Luc Besson action film (without the occasionally weird camera angle shot).

Contains spoilers if you haven't watched it... you've been warned.


I Redbox'd it the other day when it was released.

First, the story is ridiculous. So many plot holes. For instance, he watched her get in the escape pod and the door closed, then he stepped over to the window to watch it launch... then there she is. How did he not hear the door open. And when did she have time to get out? And that's just one of many.

But if you look past all that, and don't take everything seriously, it was a pretty good movie. I enjoyed it.
