Its looking like a good movie, im tempted to go up to Auckland to watch it on the IMAX, I think they may even be screening it on 70mm film!
This film was a deliberate move to boost Hollywood and get the movie industry kickstarted back with a focus on getting numbers back into the cinema.
They were saying that streaming films at the same time of release has impacted the industry. They even managed to score a deal that prohibits streaming of Oppenheimer until 100 days after the release of the film.
This should hopefully get more people back to the cinema. There was a huge effort to include big names in the cast of this film, I believe the strike was carefully planned to co-inside with the premier of this film.
They are making a protest and rightly so, AI is a threat somewhat, but largely its being used to re-create dead actors for sequels in various films or as in Indiana Jones to reverse ageing, I dont think we will ever see all films go 100% AI/CGI, the closest things would really be the likes of final fantasy I guess, but its somewhat of a threat, but the audience wants to see actors for the most part, but perhaps we will see more of it on low budget films in the future?
