Big budget, A-list actors, lots of marketing, great movie. Is anyone here not aware of Dredd?

I keep trying to come up with recommendations for cyberpunk movies that people might not have seen. Yet most obscure movies are obscure for a reason. It’s usually “this movie is good but ____” or “it’s a fun movie if you can ignore ____” So for most of these recommendations, I hesitate to say “this movie is awesome and you need to see it!” because I don’t want to mislead anyone. Of course, this means all the movies that I truly do think are awesome I assume everyone has already seen and I don’t need to suggest them.

But maybe enough time has passed that some people here haven’t seen Dredd? Well, if you haven’t, you should. It’s awesome. Just don’t watch the 1995 Judge Dredd movie with Sylvester Stallone and Rob Schneider because that one is not good.

Of course, I say everyone should watch Dredd but it isn’t streaming anywhere… except DirecTV I guess, if that counts. But I made a post earlier where I mentioned I’ve been avoiding recommending movies that you can’t watch online and some people said I should recommend them anyway. So here we are.

    This is nearly a perfect movie, for what that’s worth. Same as T2, There Will be Blood, and No Country for Old Men (though it’s nothing like any of the three). They just plain nailed it.
