This has two showings a day at a mall around me. One later tonight. I was planning on going to the mall anyways, so you know what? I think I'm gonna see this tonight. The show still seems to be moving forward.
The studio is just saving face until society gets distracted by something else, then the project will quietly die. I'll eat both of my shoes if anything regarding this incarnation of THE DARK TOWER continues.
Got out of this a little bit ago and actually quite enjoyed it. Idris Elba is just fantastic. Not everyone else is up to snuff, and it's by no means a great movie, but it still entertained me. It's going to be one GORGEOUS 4k disk. It's a 4K DI for those that care, and it's a really beautiful looking movie. It's got some geniuenly great cinematography and imagery to look at. Atmos track should be great too. Wish we were getting an extended cut though.

In that case it will be a 4K UHD blind buy for me. I liked the trailer too.

Glad I'm not the only one who liked it.
I hate to admit it, but I started to get choked up when Jake finds
I saw this today finally. Loved it! It indeed will look great in 4k. I do not understand the negative reviews. But then I'm not massively into the books, but as a film it worked very well. I could've done with it being longer but it was nice to see a concise movie for once. I hope there is an extended cut on 4k too.
It was the ugliest (and one of the worst, by the way) movie I've seen this year - basic cinematography, cheap production design, boring color grading. Can't imagine 4K and HDR helping here.

and to think it got the full Dolby treatment here - what a waste.
As a massive fan who was willing to give the film a chance after the critics trashed it, it turned out to be massively mediocre, such a waste. And yes, very poor looking film.
