We're actually closer in time today to Dredd (2012) than Dredd (2012) was from when the pyramids were built in ancient Egypt.

Huh, the more you know.
Damn I love this movie! I was really hoping for a sequel, with the decades of comics to work from there's no shortage of stories to build off of, but I guess it isn't in the cards...
Just don’t watch the 1995 Judge Dredd
Careful now! Thems fightin words where I’m from! Of course I see this post the day after I finish watching both back to back. ‘95 Judge Dredd is by no means a great movie but it is a fun movie. Most action movies released in the 90’s had some sort of comic relief, as was the fashion at the time, thus it was my introduction to Rob Schneider. Movies back then didn’t get as dark/serious as they do today because they just weren’t profitable. Having watched it yesterday, I do admit a lot of it is corny, but not terribly unwatchable, it’ll always hold a special place in my heart.
They’re two very different films and both stand fine on their own within their eras.
As for Dredd, I friggin love that movie. The first time I watched it though was in theaters and thought it was ok. I wasn’t sure what I didn’t like from it. Then I watched it on a decent 4k TV with HDR and my mind was blown, a totally different experience from theaters. Clearly cinema projectors had not caught up with 4k yet so it translated into a bland and flat experience in theaters. The visuals are straight up stunning and vivid throughout in the proper viewing environment. The pacing, the story, the actors, cinematography, it all pops and gets the chef’s kiss from me. The movie is a delicious experience.
My first ever audition was for Dredd. I really wish I didn't blow it. It would have been awesome to be a part of it.
2023 - 2012 = 13
I believe it.
That is some crazy math.
Tbf, that is an accurate portrayal of the Mega-City One educational system.
Olivia Thirlby is criminally under cast
One of the few movies I went out of my way to find a physical copy of. And now it comfortably resides on my plex server.
If you like Dredd, I encourage everyone to check out the fan made Judge Minty. https://youtu.be/aavS_XUITXU?si=6_6cBlHZI6pB3V30
Loved this movie. Watched it a few months ago, just re-watched it Tuesday. Good on so many levels. (Definitely 100) ;)
Op, why you gotta remind me of my age? FFS. The existential dread returns once more.
Such a great movie.. will watch tonight
Fantastic movie. Amazing use of slow motion.
This is nearly a perfect movie, for what that's worth. Same as T2, There Will be Blood, and No Country for Old Men (though it's nothing like any of the three). They just plain nailed it.
