I saw *Three Thousand Years of Longing* last night, and the vibe was a lot like that of a stage play--but with fairytale flashback vignettes. The lead performances are great, but it's definitely a different energy than presented in the trailers

[@josuafraser4865]

I ended up liking it too. But I think I would’ve liked it more if the trailer jus presented it to be as it was instead of kinda misleading us ina way with the energy of the trailer compared to the movie itself like u said

[@benzaiten933]

the trailer made me think it'll be a fast-paced, colorful and kinda bonkers movie - all that I love!

[@roguechevelle]

it's kinda sad when the studio marketing team decides to do that because it can alienate an audience a bit and it can lead to the movie getting harsh criticisms when it's not warranted. There have been a few movies that have recieved poor or mixed reviews when if the movie was simply presented as what it is it would have done better. I know some studios do this to recoup money upon opening but it's a really horrible strategy to purposely deceive people to get them through the door. Some movies are hard to categorize if it's very different but I think there are a lot of indie or small budget movie trailers that seem to handle trailer subjects just fine so it's very doable. I remember when people went to see the Village thinking they were getting a scary horror movie based on the trailers when it's more of a slow burn mysterious suspense film. It could have been easily reframed to reflect that and I think it wouldn't have been better recieved then it was at the time. I actually liked the movie for the most part loved the music even more but I don't mind a slow burn suspense.

[@Kayaz48]

Of course! It’s a thinking persons movie in an era of stupid musclebound superheroes with no content, just cgi

[@theprowler18]

I would say it ended up being more of a introspective fairy tale romance drama that explores in details the Djinn's centuries of love and lost, that finds a kindred spirit and longing within a lonely British Narratology professor. I thankfully dug it and appreciate Miller for doing something entirely different, but totally understand why it will definitely disappoint others, especially based off of the misleading marketing campaign behind it.

[@duckywinks]

Three Thousand Years of Longing was definitely my thing. No chance in hell it’s making its money back, but I was happy. The pure cinematic ambition got me swept up in it, my only real issue being that it kinda peters out at the end. I hope it finds its audience somewhere. Also, I’d just like to add that I think it’s neat that when you highlight a specific part of the movie, you try to name the person in charge of that department. I don’t think I’ve seen another channel do that, and most people just end up praising the director alone. Idk, I just think that’s neat.

[@princeofwar311]

agreed, I like ''bottle'' narrative where is a few characters talking in closed space, only issue is I think from the last Djini story and the real time story weren't that good.

[@juliusreyes2326]

Using the general term "shot in Africa" has to stop being used so often. Research should be done to what country or countries, or specific areas are being represented. You never hear the filming locations referred to as shot in North America, or South America, or Europe, etc. I know it's not technically wrong to use Africa since it is being filmed on that continent. However, being specific goes a long way for different countries, regions, and sub-cultures to gain their identity.

[@RominaJones]

100%, Africa is a whole entire continent. I too don’t see why folks can’t learn which specific country or think it is not part of the equation when referring to a location. It’s a small but striking thing to me and interesting when others note it too. Always enjoy Dan’s reviews just noting a too common turn a phrase that was true but not entirely accurate. I know Dan likes to be informative and accurate, adopting that one extra step for anyone will always serve them well.

[@juliusreyes2326]

@@RominaJones I'm glad you included Dan in your reply. You covered what I missed to represent in my comment. This is not meant to be a "dig" on Dan. I wholeheartedly agree with you. He's better than most when it comes to critical thinking, inclusion, and being forthright in his craft.

[@SimonBuchanNz]

I agree, but I absolutely have heard "shot in South America" and "Europe" at least, and especially "Eastern Europe"

[@juliusreyes2326]

@@SimonBuchanNz Fair point. "Never" shouldn't have been my choice of words. I've heard them used before as well. My overlying point is that Africa is a blanketed term used more than the others. That said, I happen to be using this example but specificity should be applied to all continents as well.

[@aloysiusmaina2625]

Strongly agree. As a Kenyan, I find it very annoying when specific regions are not mentioned. Was the movie shot in the Tsavo, the Serengeti, the bushland of South Africa? Details matter.

[@musicmann1967]

Saw "Beast" last weekend and it was okay overall. This movie was made for your AMC A-List! If you don't have to shell out $15-$20, go for it! It's a good theatrical experience, with very active camera work and thunderous sound design to kick your butt! Seeing "Three Thousand..." tomorrow. Expectations have been tempered by all the reviews, including Dan's here, so I'll just go and zen out. I love Tilda and Idris, so I'm sure I'll be at least somewhat entertained. `

[@KeithFraser82]

Idris Elba double feature! He plays a djinn and fights a creature!

[@tgs40]

I was enthralled by this film. Once we got into the story I couldn't look away.

[@benzaiten933]

the trailer of "three thousand years of longing" had me really looking forward to this movie but now I think I'll had to lower my expectations just a bit.

[@Mrjonnyjonjon123]

Look the first half of the movie is great, that what I'll say

[@MatalicMan]

I didn’t see any trailer or knew anything about it, and I actually really liked it. It’s pretty good. It’s different.

[@benzaiten933]

@@MatalicMan it can be a very great movie but if the trailer implies the movie was one thing but it's actually another that's just bothersome. a trailer should capture how/what a movie is so viewers can decide if they want to see it. such misleading trailers aren't just annoying but bad marketing IMO because the folks who'd like the movie how it is - not how it is advertises - may not get to see it as they wouldn't know about it.

[@TheinterfaceTvSeries]

Just watched it. It’s a love story. That’s what everyone seems to miss about it.

[@mildmanneredcomicnerd8849]

I loved this movie. It was a good story telling film.

[@Suzanne_sf]

I have no desire to see either of them but I'm curious about the plot in "Three Thousand Years of Longing." Thank you for the reviews and for the behind the scenes footage which I love to see.

[@Elle-xf8mw]

Actually I loved the dialogues part more❤️ and wish there was more of it.

[@JBrotsis1]

Saw both movies. If you had to pick one to see, I’d recommend 3,000 Years of Longing. I greatly enjoyed that movie. I really wanted Beast to be good (as I grew up watching The Ghosts and the Darkness) but it ridiculous and predictable. You know how it’s going to end very early on.

[@JayTillaeon]

I love the art and storytelling of the Genie. I can say I was disappointed that the Genie wasn't on the "can you trust me or not" level of storytelling because Tilda's character was seemingly leading that way. Overall, I liked it.

[@denadean6798]

I loved 3000 years! I actually want to see it again!

[@SaifKhan-iy7tn]

Read about Jinns in Islamic theology especially "Ifrit" before you watch.

[@poem]

Just saw this today, loved it. A beautiful movie.

[@jadegauran5239]

3000 YEARS OF LONGING IS MY NEW FAVORITE STORY.

[@SumDumGy]

I saw Beast last week and enjoyed it. I’ll see 3000 Years of Longing in the next week. Interestingly, nothing you had to say about it conflicts with the trailer to me at all, and I have no real expectations, so your description doesn’t detract from my interest.

[@RedeemedChains]

100% agree the trailer made you think the movie was going to be one thing while the movie itself was completely different. Not bad, not good, different. It reminded me a little bit of the Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. Tip or the hat to Swinton and Elba for carrying the movie expertly

[@Hogtownboy1]

This reminds me of the one thousand nights. Always keeping telling a story so the Jen not re- imprisonment

[@ChrisMeadows1992]

Excellent reviews as always! You've convinced me to catch Beast.

[@HeadCannonPrime]

Nothing says 'huge success' like a Qualified "Huh?" from Dan Murrell. Both of these movies are just space fillers between summer blockbuster and holiday blockbuster. I'll catch them when they go to streaming.

[@RealFlorida305]

3000 years and longing is more like a sci-fi Romance ....it was good 👍

[@GarthMcMurray]

With the title similarities a good double feature of George Miller written & directed movies would be 40,000 Years of Dreaming with Three Thousand Years of Longing.

[@StupidLittleNobody]

Add a featurette: Nightmare at 20,000 Feet

[@pudding7876]

The longing was felt and that was enough for me

[@LaniBanani]

Yes the message at the end of 3,000 Years is a little ambiguous but it's about selfish love, fear of abandonment and mature love which is like a wish come true, if carefully protected. But would have been nice if Miller had wrapped it up a little more for the audience to get take home point without having to think about it for a while and hope you got the point.

[@HighHatProductions]

Seeing 3000 Years tonight and quite liked Beast!

[@danielmashanic5738]

I wasn’t expecting Mad Max levels of great, but I’m still excited for Three Thousand Years

[@Keth417]

3000 years..... I enjoyed it. For a fantasy film, I thought the end was realistic in human terms. By the second wish you know how it's going to go... fate is sealed. It certainly made me think about the dangers and responsibilities of even one wish, trickster or not. Technically, effects, acting, historical backdrops quite excellent. Could I wish for a better film? I would be afraid my wish would conjure a different film, and I would not like it as much as I liked this one, even though I'd give this (loath 7).... 6/10. Btw, the trailers did NOTHING for the film. I will watch this film again.

[@kaytwo_]

I was a bit disappointed in the film but I did like it. I thought the movie would focus more on the consequences of the main characters wishes not the genies life. But still interesting. Beast is cool but I wanted to see more of the lion actually hunting.

[@Dr.Beetlejuice110]

I unfortunately couldn't see it last night due to being covid positive. BUT as soon as I get better and a week later for good measure I will be seeing the movie. I'm not seeing the longing movie for action I'm seeing it for commentary about humanity and what's important in life etc. I like to call it perspective commentary. This commentary is always the substance behind the stories of the jinn.

[@heatheraggus7501]

Hope your symptoms are mild.

[@bev9708]

They both came out together here and I was way more excited to see 3000 Years, I really wanted to love it so much... unfortunately I found it more and more boring as it went along … spectacular yes yet sadly totally emotionless and unengaging without a scrap of chemistry between anyone much less between Idris and Tilda!! Only the images kept me from falling asleep !!

[@samf.s.7731]

Damn, I'm excited to see this one but I guess I should tamper my expectations...

[@josuafraser4865]

@@samf.s.7731 yeah don’t go in as excited as I was or you’ll be let down😭😂 BUT overall I did end up liking the the movie. It delivers a story that has purpose and hooks the audience with a psychological thrill and beautiful fast-pace scenery within the first 45mins-1hr of the movie. But towards the the last 50 mins of the movie it sort of switches pace drastically and becomes a slow burn to a somewhat satisfying conclusion. If anything I wanna say the storyline is this movies strong point(& the well done cgi is a plus). But I’d still say jus go in with low expectations.

[@kobatohanato876]

I liked the movie it was interesting but the weird love connection at the end didn't make any sense. Like there was no chemistry

@@SumDumGy no it was the amc with the huge recliners. Bruh it was a struggle, we made it into a bed and we were still on the edge. This movie really does not stop, like the story is generic but the intensity is closer to a horror movie than a thriller. Definitely will watch again.

If you ever want to do an offcial rating system, "A qualified 'huh'" needs to be one of the options.

[@avnerkam]

Beast seems too obvious to me. Saw Three thousand years of longing and loved it; I think liking it depends on accepting the transition from the "storytelling" theme to "choosing your wishes". Interesting how many reviewers doubt the acceptance by the audience, when the actual public vote on RT is much higher (68/92 right now).

I really enjoyed Beast. I thought it was a beefed up Cujo. The Genie movie looked strange. Waiting for streaming.

[@michaelthompson8616]

Just saw TT YOL, and must saw it is a modern classic of myth with main character of the gen. Comic book movies could learn much from G.Miller, a master storyteller on tone & character just to name a few. I George Miller is a great storyteller period...again storyteller. As a comicbook & cinema fan, Marvel & Dc, who had Easter eggs on the movie, producers should go and see this movie as homework asap. The stories were from the gens pov, he is the main character. Theme was tragic Romance. Anyone raised on a deit of superhero movies will not care for cinema with a story that is not a setup for another movie.

But u might be rooting for d lion at some points. If u don't mind this issue then u'll probably enjoy d film. As for 3000, it looks interesting. Will be watching it soon. Thanks for d review.

Although I’m coming late to this review and both of these movies, I want to see both.

Still, I’ll try to see both on my home theater projector when available.

I really liked 3000 years of longing. I agree the djinn's tales are the best part and the end is weak. but I like that i'ts not formulaic and you never knew where it was going. and you definitely can tell it's adapted from a book, someone really spent time writing the academic presentations

I was really excited about 3,000 years because I'm a big fan of the author, although I was a bit skeptical because I am not such a fan of the action genre, which the director is perhaps most known for. The good news is that the movie certainly doesn't fall in the action genre however the bad news is that the movie is a total bomb come out with bad pacing and overindulgent dialogue that simply does not land. Also while I am a big fan of Idris Elba, I query the casting of him as a Djinn, which is of Arab/near East origin. Get in the lack of representation of Middle Eastern and Muslim actors, it would have been nice to have seen one cast for the role

[@user-jm7se9cf3u]

Three Thousand Years of Longing is a movie that isn't usual in today's cinematic experience. Mediocre directors and editors today produce Rollercoaster rides with cheap thrills that pull you along and show you nice things but in the end you feel empty and take nothing with you. Movies today have nothing to say just cool tidy "experiences" for you to watch without you being invested in. This movie draws you into a story takes a love story and dives so deep into what a love story could be and does it so subtly this simpleton thinks it was meh!. It's dives DEEP into the important parts of a couples love story broad and heavy. It explains the serendipidy of love, its pitfalls, the whole experience of life before and after love in its entirety but doesn't beat you over the head with that complexity. Its a movie that seeps into you not some thick drowning. Not a scene or shot wasted here. This is a movie. @danmurrell your career has deadened your senses to film. This is 2 thumbs up. This reminds me of The Cell in some ways

[@dylankeim6039]

[@universallove878]

I didn't like the story of "3000 Years of Longing", but the cinematography was beautiful, and the CGI usage. It's another slave story told by the Genie, over his time being enslaved. He is at the will of all who open it , and must obey, with some rules to follow from his own Genie rules of Granting Wishes. He hopes of being free from capture in the bottle, through wish fulfillment/manifestation. The movie was too long, and BEAST is wayyy better.

It’s a thinking persons movie, which won’t do well at all in the current Idiocracy that demands cgi superheroes with no content.

Bad review, doesn’t reflect well on you at all.

If you’d listened to what I said - I don’t compare this movie to Fury Road. I said people would likely walk in expecting a movie like Fury Road, which it isn’t. I consider myself a thinking person, I just wasn’t 100% on board with the movie.

[@pitui1987]

@@DanMurrellMovies I didn’t watch the trailers, because I knew I would see the movie opening night regardless. However, I was excited at the possibilities from the description of a narratologist finding a djinn’s lamp. I imagined a tense, layered battle of wits between a genre-savvy academic who knew all the classic wish traps, and a possibly duplicitous djinn who had seen all of human history. Although I enjoyed the movie, I found Alithea’s passive, barely-questioning character to be disappointing, and the removal of consent reversal to actual love to be both not given enough narrative weight and to be absent of real chemistry. It’s a good story, but I don’t think it’s nearly as intelligent or meaningful as it thinks it is.

Saw Three Thousand Years of Longing last night, going in only saw one trailer a while ago and only remembered "Idris Elba is a genie", ands George Miller is the guy who did Mad Max and Babe, so this could be anything...

I totally get your qualified "huh" on this.
