Leave The World Behind (Sam Esmail, December 8, 2023) Movie

I'm intrigued. Stacked cast.

 

knock at the cabin if it didn't suck

 

Not setting my expectations too high, but looks cool enough

 

As a big Mr. Robot fan, i'm hoping this is good

 

Ethan Hawke is looking a bit like Kevin Bacon here...

 

Been a while since I read the book, but based on the trailer this seems a lot more explicit about what's going on.

 

i can’t tell if you’re joking or not lol

 

no. no joke. The verbage above says Ethan Hawke is in it. Near the end of the trailer, with the greyness, I thought it was Kevin Bacon.

 

Pretty sure there's a shot of Kevin Bacon in the trailer where he does look exactly like Ethan Hawke

 

Ha. I had no idea they were both in it. I IMDB'ed it. carry on.

 

I loved Mr. Robot. Very excited for this. I'm hoping this comes to theaters in PDX.

 

Executive producers Barack and Michelle Obama certainly threw me

 

they’ve produced a ton of movies the last half decade

 

Huh, never noticed! IMDb’s only got a couple listed

 

i guess "ton" is a bit exaggerated, it's more like 8.

Hahahahaha Sam Esmail is a next level filmmaker


So many Mr. Robot easter eggs too lmao I legitimately almost cried when they established the finale as canon

What a needle drop and unexpected discourse that will arise from the end lol (a fun one, not a serious culture war one)

 

I totally forgot about this, will try to get to it this weekend

edit: damn, forgot it wasn’t out til 12/8. That comment got my hopes up! Hah

 

Reminder that this is out today

 

Enjoyed this a bunch. I also enjoyed knock at the cabin.

 

This was fine. Could have been 10 minutes shorter.

 

This was great, definitely noticed Sam Esmail’s unique directing techniques that I remembered from Mr Robot, down to the font. Compelling story, suspenseful as hell and engaging.

 

Can you elaborate, maybe I missed something.

 

Yeah this was alright. Definitely felt its length and a bit scatterbrained in tone. Outside of a few moments this really felt much more Shyamalan than Esmail. But it succeeds in dropping the viewer into what that experience would probably be like, at least if you were a rich person in an isolated location. Honestly have to applaud the ending because how else do you end a story like that lol. I’ll have to read the book sometime
