@AlsoPaisleyCat@tenforward.social @Phangurl@tenforward.social @thearkchat@fedigroups.social re: starting #TheArk's 3pm ET slot early one time during #KungFuSat (Sats 12-2pm ET) - a fundamental tenet of our #WatchParty is @MatthewTitus88@mastodon.social & I always select films available WITHOUT a paid service (YT, Tubi, etc.) You note PER ASPERA AD ASTRA (2026) is only available on Netflix, neither of us even have, so that's a no for KFS. I can't speak for @rsmon77@mastodon.social who hosts #ActionMatinee (Sats 2-4pm ET) and chooses his own content, currently THE EXPANSE.

@Phangurl@tenforward.social thanks for letting me know!

Disasters on colonial sleeper ships seems to be it’s very own SciFi subgenre.

Perhaps I will run a poll…

My preference would to be to kick off with a one time joint watch of the movie Per Aspera Ad Astra (2026) from Mainland China in collaboration with #KungFuSat and #ActionMatinee if their hosts are up for it.

The movie takes place on a colonial sleeper ship which wakes up a sysadmin to check out the AI responsible for the virtual environments of the sleepers. A bit of Star Trek professionalism and holodeck malfunctions, the Matrix, and tributes to old HK action movies mixed in.

It’s a fun ride but only available for streaming on Netflix.

I finally got around to watching Matrix Revolutions after twenty-some years and... I liked it. I liked it way more than Reloaded (Matrix 2, if you will) and more than I expected to. The story was solid, even though like many movies, there are plot holes. I got over Keanu's lack of acting pretty quickly and appreciated the rest of the cast. The effects were great and they didn't over use the CGI copy-and-paste too much, except for the Sentinels, but having thousands of those flying around is baked into the story, eh. I was engaged all the way through and so yeah, thumbs up! 👍 #monsterdon and #actionmatinee - what do you think of this 2003 flick?
