^^ yeah just saw that news on FB, doesn't seem that bad, i saw reviews on imdb etc stating that aamina sheikh did good and what not etc shaan was good aswell... perhaps the ppl couldn't stand the usual drama etc in the movie... didn't saw it but judging from the trailer etc it's quite like that... these ppl were those halla gulla ones u know indian movies and dances and such
yeah me also think that , but express tribune should not have covered such kind of stories .
Also i feel bad that two pakistani movies have released on EID we should have 1 month gap at least cause its good for business

It is a conspiracy thriller and people were probably not expecting that, they wanted a brainless action movie I guess. Most of the reviews are saying the movie itself is pretty good.

The movie is worth watching.Screw the user reviews.It's similar to films like 'Spy Game' or 'Syriana' (political thriller).The first hour or so is about the build up and the actual films picks in the second half (though I enjoyed the first half more).The action is less,yet coherent. Ayub Khosa's performance stole the show.Slick production values.Everything wraps up pretty good in the end, a satisfying end to say.There are flaws which are in most of the films keeping that in mind it moves with a slow commendable pace and has action only when required makes it a great watch.I would at least give it a 7.5/10

i want to watch Dracula Untold but 700 for a 2D movie is kinda lame (and that is what Cinestar is doing..every english movie is being screened on IMAX) have you been to Sozo World after they got those Dolby Atmos systems? What about the new Cinepax? Cinepax rwp is very shitty

^^ After IMAX, Cinepax is best cinema in Lahore then DHA and others..but there is only 100 rupees difference in IMAX and Cinepax..IMAX 2D Rs. 700 & Cinepax Rs. 600 (3D)..so why not watch a movie in IMAX..

^^ Yes without 3d glasses..but still same ticket price if you are watching a 2d movie in Dolby Atmos or a 3D movie in atmos..they are charging 200 extra for 2d just for Atmos sound same goes with IMAX they are charging 200 more because of IMAX screen and its sound which is obviously better than atmos..

just that they think of themselves more than the customers... for instance that fawad khan visit thingie, they were busy taking their own pictures with him instead of the people there who came to see him lol

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
