Looper [4K UHD] [Blu-ray]

I bought this on a whim because I like sci-fi and Bruce Willis and it was comparatively cheap. I hesitated for a moment because it's written and directed by Rian Johnson (I've yet to see something of his that I like, and don't get me started on The Last Jedi). Regardless, I took the plunge, how bad could it be?First off let's get the positive stuff out there. Solid acting all around, great visuals and effects. Johnson can at least construct interesting scenes even if he can't tell a compelling story. The initial concept is interesting. That's about it. Everything else about the movie sucked, cliché plodding story full of plot holes and convenience writing.SPOILERSPlot holes. Logic conundrums are expected in time travel movies, and some get away with more because they are light-hearted like the Back to the Future trilogy. Looper however plays it very serious and dystopian. That's only a problem because the holes are practically gaping. For example, in the future time travel is used by the mafia to dispose of people by sending them back in time (still alive) to be dispatched by loopers. Apparently, forensic science is so good in the future it's impossible to get away with murder, but apparently you can disappear someone with highly illegal time travel tech and no one's the wiser. Ok. Then it breaks it's own rules when future mafia comes after Willis and his wife using LETHAL force! What was the point of sending your victims back in time still alive again? Then there is the ending, which is the typical kill a big bad from the future when he is young and defenseless paradox. The movie plays it like the Big Bad becomes the Big Bad because of Willis' vendetta against the Big Bad for killing his wife. Hence another loop. But how did the loop start? Without that information Gordon-Levitt's (aka young Willis) actions at the end may not make a difference at all.There are other logic problems and paradoxes, and I could live with them if there weren't other problems. The film is slow and about 30 minutes too long. I had a hard time caring about the characters, except for Bruce Willis (but only because he is Bruce Willis, his character in this movie is definitely as morally grey as the rest of them EDIT: actually he's kind of evil, even if he's only taking his actions to save his wife and other loopers). The action is sub-par, and I didn't know that a future with telekinesis, time travel, and flying sportbikes could be so dull.There is some neat stuff to be sure. In fact the whole movie is a collection of neat ideas that I think just weren't fleshed out properly, and wrapped up in a completely mediocre story. I wouldn't buy it if I could loop back, but at least it was cheap.

Looper was a very interesting and smart sci-fi film written directed and produced by Rian Johnson who was doing the TV show Breaking Bad at the time.The film takes place in the future where time travel has been outlawed and is only used by criminals. Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is an assassin called a Looper used by the gangs to get rid of people who use time travel. The twist is that the Loopers actually kill themselves eventually to get rid of any loose ends. The problem starts when Joe has to kill his future self played by Bruce Willis and then Willis beats him up and knocks him out. When the Gordon-Levitt Joe awakes there’s a not telling him to run because he knows that the gang will be after him. Then things flip to how the older Joe got into his predicament, and then how he tried to change his past to save his future. That’s where things get really good. Gordon-Levitt is determined to stop Willis and that provides a battle of wills. Along the way there are some really big twists and turns, along with gun play.What was so good about the film was that it always kept you guessing. You never knew how things were going to work out and there were constant curves thrown at the viewer.Well worth watching.

The movie I’ve heard called “the opposite of ‘It's a Wonderful Life’” is one of the more thoughtful time travel movies out there.I showed it to my developing film-nerd larvae (“kids”) as an under appreciated sci-fi gem, and was happy to see them sharing it with their friends and cousins.Give it a shot. There is a great premise about the misuse of time travel, and personal responsibility, and some decent performances that don’t get in the way of that idea.

Acting is good, story is interesting and movie is never dull. The time travel aspect of it makes zero sense not because it is confusing but just because it doesn't work at all. I like movies that make me think but I only had to think about it for about 15 minutes and concluded that none of it works. Time travel is basically a vehicle for an action movie.

The product arrived in perfect condtion. Looper is a sci fi action thriller movie about a young hitman (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who's targets are forced to travel back in time to be executed by him in a designated place at a designated time. Hes good at his job until one target (Bruce Willis) makes him fail to complete an execution and now he has to finish the job before it is too late. This is a great movie that in my opinion was underrated. It does a great job of following the laws of time travel and i recommend checking it out if you are interested.

It's a time-travel movie so expect some serious lapses in logic (there are quite a few). There's some pretty awful dialogue here as well (a scene with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis in a diner is major offender, you'll know what line I mean) but the movie's shots and stylistic choices are very easy on the eyes. It's almost a future noir story with the visuals reflecting their respective times in ways you wouldn't think of normally. There's a shot of JGL falling out of a window from multiple points in times and points of view that are inventive and creative. Emily Blunt likely had the best performance here as a single mother with telekinetic powers. Bruce Willis even seems like he's not falling asleep this time. The facial prosthetics on JGL are distracting and look almost unnatural and it may make the first act of the movie hard to follow. This movie could have been great if it showed more interest in it's story than showing off it's premise but it is a sight to see at least once.

The 4k Image is very nice, it does have a layer of film grain if you dont like that well your out of luck here... I think it looked superb, imo this is Bruce Willis last great acting role, seems to be stuck in a loop now of straight to vod rubbish, But this film is well worth owning

Es una película curiosa de viajes en el tiempo, una historia original con una mezcla de argumentos, dos grandes actores como protagonistas y un final muy interesante. Pura ciencia-ficcion sin grandes escenas de acción ni efectos especiales, algo sencilla pero que logra su objetivo.La edición es bastante básica, con algún extra como comentarios del director, escenas eliminadas y un tráiler animado. Gran imagen pero en el tema sonido, he notado que las voces se oyen muy bajas respecto a la música. Pero no es algo grave.Si te gusta la ciencia ficción y los viajes en el tiempo, te gustará seguro está película.

Il y a eu une période où il est repassé souvent à la télé et j'ai pris le film en cours de visionnage.Je l'ai trouvé les 2 fois à chier (pardon pour le terme) mais ce mélange de steampunk avec les tromblons, les revolver du Far West alors que l'on est sensé être en 2044 (il me semble)...j'adhérais mal. En plus la description du maître des pluies "à la mâchoire refaite" et "qui a vu sa mère se faire tuer sous ses yeux" qui se présente sous la forme d'un petit garçon qui pulvérise tout et tue tout le monde quand il se met en colère...bref.Puis je l'ai vu une troisième fois (qd je vous dis qu'il est passé souvent) mais dès le début.Et là on comprend tout et tout s'emboite. Le film est (je trouve) plein de subtilités qui permettent de comprendre le cours de l'intrigue et le questionnement existentiel des protagonistes. Si vous ratez le début, vous ne comprenez rien au film.En plus (comme lu dans un autre avis) il y a plein de questionnement abordés (même si on ne vous donne pas les réponses) que chacun peut se poser à soi-même dans la vraie vie.S'il me reste 30 ans à vivre qu'est-ce que je ferai de ces années, où j'irai vivre ? Etre pauvre ou travailler comme tueur à gages, est-ce que je peux choisir ? Quelle est le sens de ma vie ? Quelle peuvent être les relations d'amour entre un enfant et sa mère ? Un homme et une femme ? Est-ce que nos actions dans le passé font de nous un homme ? Est-ce que l'on peut racheter ses fautes ? Est-il normal ou pas d'être fidèle en amitié ou est-ce qu'il ne faut ne compter que sur soit même ?Non franchement un film à voir au moins une fois et une deuxième pour le comprendre. Je n'aurais jamais cru que je pourrais adhérer autant en le visionnant en entier et au final l'acheter pour le revoir.

Ho aspettato a comprarlo per le recensioni negative,ora l'ho comprato nella seconda edizione,la cosa buffa è che costa anche meno della prima;comunque:il formato è stato riportato ai 2.35,1 originali quindi già un bel miglioramento,la cosa negativa è che invece di 1080p è in 1080i,il che non è ancora il massimo della risoluzione,si vede bene ma poteva essere perfetto.Ottimo invece l'audio,5.1 hd master davvero potente e il fatto di aver inserito tutti gli extra che mancavano dalla prima edizione.Ho dato 3 stelle per aver migliorato l'edizione,ma sappiate che non è ancora l'edizione definitiva che aspettavate(tra l'altro il film merita)!

Ich bin ein Science-Fiction Fan und habe mir den Film auf blueray geholt. Ich finde den Film sehr gut. Auch die Dramatik und die "tiefen" mancher Handlungen und Szenen habe ich sehr genossen. Die Geschichte die der Film erzählt finde ich grandios und es macht mehr viel Spaß diesen öfter anzuschauen.Der Artikel ist auch wie man es von einer Büchersendung kennt, sehr gut verpackt und versandt worden.
