What does high-concept mean?

>>212385636
Up its own ass.

>>212385636
A movie with a simple "what-if" premise

>>212385601 (OP)
the one with the food platforms
whatever it's called

>>212385601 (OP)
this one
very high, very concept

>>212385905
They sent her to Iran to destroy uranium enriching facilities

>>212385601 (OP)

The Prophecy trilogy, with the war between angels in Heaven and Hell. With a bigger budget and scope it could have been epic.

>Whoa, this Cube we're in is like the Military Industrial Complex somehow...
I think this movie had a subtle hidden message

>>212385601 (OP)
how did they fuck up the sequels so badly?

>>212385601 (OP)
If it qualifies, 2001 a space odissey

Simon was archangel but he had pedo vibes

It insists on itself.

> make a sequel just to milk the popularity of the first one
> expect it to be good

>>212386059

Yeah that kiss was messed up

>>212385636
The premise of the movie is both pronounced and layed out without needing to describe the plot in more than a few sentences.

>>212385980
Hey, redditfag. Did you ever watch the 4th and 5th movies?

>>212386204

This doesn't work for Ghost In The Shell

MOGGED by The Curve

>>212386009
The first one wasn't good either

>>212386259
>what if we made Neuromancer but anime

>>212386234

Hello fellow faggot! Yeah I did, but it's been too long. I'll torrent them now

Surprisingly kino

I thought the premise of Designated Survivor was pretty great. Shame it went do absolute dogshit after a few episodes.

>>212386009
Cube is in danger of going stale, im taking it to strange new places
>6:06, 6:06, 6:06, 6:06, 6:06.59

>>212386370
Yes, I enjoyed this too.

>>212386645

Such a qt3.14

>>212386363
I never watched those ones

>>212386009
Why do you think every simple movie concept with a completed story can somehow have tons of amazing sequels? Cube already did everything that could be done with it and concluded. Anything remotely popular is targeted to have some sort of follow-up that only loosely fits the word sequel. They're contrived, made up on the fly, and just there to barely satisfy the demand of "we like that thing and want a bit more"

>>212386009
I liked both sequels, your opinion is false

High concept post

>>212385601 (OP)
Great kino, wish they made more movies like those.
>>212386370
Watched that one randomly one evening and it was surprisingly good.

>>212386370
Seconding this, I like movies when the bad guy wins, they are rare in the "high-concept" or also "death games" genre.

>>212386259
Nobody said Ghost in the Shell is high-concept. I would say Ghost in the Shell and things like Blade Runner are "high-concept plot" on a "broad setting"
I think OP is referring to "high concept plot" inside a "self contained setting"
After Cube ends, you can have more Cube movies, but you don't really need more Cube setting buildup.
With every new Ghost in the shell movie you also get more Ghost in the shell background buildup (I'm not sayings this is a bad thing)

>>212386492
kino

>>212386370
>cube
>circle
What other shape kino is there?

>>212385988
I thought it was just a public works project that had no oversight or even real goal. Criticising endless beauracracy

>>212390632
The Triangle miniseries
All I can remember is a guy's brain getting melted by hoping dimensions
Kinda like 12 monkeys, but with alternate universes instead of time.
Guy starts losing his tracks of what's his "reality" because they all are
But that's all I remember about it so it may have filler

if the cube is high concept i dont know the meaning of the term

>>212390964
it's this>>212385831
>>212386204

what did you think it meant? i used to think it was something else too but i've since forgotten what i thought. maybe haughty? large in scale?

>>212390964
is an idea self contained within the movie, with no other worldbuilding background needed.

>>212386492
Underrated

>>212386043
2001 is not high concept.
