Oh, they have them in-abundance too, but given @MontiCristo's post's subject, I confined my comments to underwater-breathing animals.

Here in the States before it became SyFy, The SciFi channel would have these awesome B/C grade movies every Saturday Night. It's actually what my Wife and I bonded over on our first meeting, talking about Chupacabra : The Dark Seas ? Plus when you have classics like Pterodactyl starring Coolio and any number of weather disaster movies it was a good way to start the evening.Oh, they have them in-abundance too, but given @MontiCristo's post's subject, I confined my comments to underwater-breathing animals.

I wouldn't say it sucked but I watched this again for first time in a long time and the ending with the helicopter in the tunnel is just way to unreal. I get that they like to defy physics and such but that was hard to swallow now that I'm older

'Be Kind Rewind' - The only movie I have ever asked for a refund for. Made it a litte over halfway through.
'Into the woods' - This was insanely bad. Wife and I are even kinda into musicals.

Nah. That probably was not me, but it is a good idea. I admit, I use avatars to figure out (more quickly) who is talking.

Saw the latest X-Men movie the other day, 2020's X-Men ~ The New Mutants.
OMG. What a nothing burger of a movie. Kept waiting for it to pick up but it didn't.
Terrible!

Not sure if mentioned but you can skip
The Silence
Society of the Snow
Atlas
The Silence: Pretty sure I mentioned The Silence already. It was about these 'alien creature bird things that are drawn to noise, similar to that other movie. But I couldn't get though the first 1/3 because the directing, scenes, plot layout, whatever was just unbearable.
Society of the Snow: This is a remake of that one movie about real life story of football (futbol?) players who's plane crashed into the Andes Mts - and they resorted to cannibalism.
Atlas: A pretty dumb futuristic AI story staring Jennifer Lopez. If you like JayLo, you will probably like it. I don't care for her necessarily. There was a moment in the middle where I laughed at a JLo joke and congratulated them on the CGI graphics.

Watched "65" on Netflix 
I thought it might be good because it has Adam Driver in it, even though I'm not a huge fan of his. Scott Beck and Brian Woods (Directors/Screenwriter) need to go back to movie 101 school. Sad, because it appeared to have a huge budget and CGI going on. It is based on a some space travelers need to emergency crash land on a planet. The planet happens to be Earth 65 million years ago. It also happens to be about a week before the the big asteroid rams into the earth about a mile away from where they end up being..
Here are just a few bullet points on why this movie misses the mark
There is a young girl who happens to also survive, along with Adam Driver. Problem is the acting or directing seem to make it out like there is a love interest between the two
Also, there is a scene where she is asleep and he finds a huge beetle in her mouth. Yeah right.
The TRex type dinosaur is not really close to what we've determined they would look like based on bones/bone structure.
There are several scenes where a dinosaur is chasing them and it would be obvious that the dinosaur would catch them very quickly based on speed but then, as usual, the chase scene is drawn out too long and it ruins the believability.
She saves him in the end by using a holographic projector, but the size/distance of this act is not to scale.
There is a scene in the cave with a dinosaur 'chasing' them very very slowly. And way too much light for them being in a cave. A similar scene show him really struggling to figure out how to clime this small rock formation. She saves the day again by going up there and then throwing down a rope. This whole part was not done very well either.
In the end, the Asteroid finally hits Earth, they barely escape, and it then shows how a dinosaur slowly decays over thousands and even millions of years, when in fact it was so close, it and everything around it would have been vaporized and destroyed including the bones.
Can't not recommend this movie enough

@311boogieman Thanks for the recommendation bro'.
I'm gonna watch it regardless of what the "critics" say.
From Wiki:
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 36% of 128 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 4.8/10. The website's consensus reads: "Sodden sci-fi that somehow finds a way to bungle Adam Driver fighting dinosaurs, 65 is closer to zero." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 40 out of 100, based on 27 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews. Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "C+" on an A+ to F scale, while those at PostTrak gave it an overall 54% positive score, with 37% saying they would recommend the film.

Come again? WHY, do you want to watch it? Let me know what you think. You might like it. The acting and graphics were fine but for me the scenes were not thought out real well.
