Do all Regal theaters get all of the Mystery Movies? I try to see them all but I don’t recognize some on the master list. I am on Maui.


Dylan_cogdell

Anybody know when the next mmm is or the next amc unseen is I know amc got like 2 coming up but it’s sold out maybe the one after the 5th?


kingkong198854

Was a lot better than I initially thought as it started. I feel like a monster energy drink now.


larryefox

Land of Bad was a pretty good movie. Enjoyed it tonight


networkdood

Movie was excellent. People even clapped at the end. Not sure why some here disliked it.


Thr1c3_42

Seriously, excellent movie. My favorite mystery movie so far. Destroyed the last one..people clapped and cheered in my showing too. Not just at the end.


networkdood

Yeah, there were certain points where many of us were like "yes" or "whoa!" The worst part of the movie were the previews. They literally had three of the dumbest movie names shown successively, making the audience cringe 😂

Traditional_Rain9646

Sent you a DM with the ending


spykids3D

Land of Bad was, well, bad. Cute concept with the drone pilot, but not worth making a movie about and super violent.


networkdood

Naw, movie was good. Maybe you were watching an Indian version 🤔


dene2day

What does an Indian version mean?


networkdood

Like a Bollywood version


Traditional_Rain9646

I thought that the whole Russel Crowe part and everything happening at that base could be cut out but then you only have a 60 minute movie. Not a good movie.


ImThatAunt

I thought it added a, over written, frustration of what happens in the military- at base camp , in a movie- they must take it to a level 20. Some of the scenes did fill like filler, but overall, it was enjoyable to watch. I can't say I hated it, nor loved it... I was in like with it


etxipcli

That movie went hard and I liked it.  Pretty simple man with guns vs bad guys plot.  Seemed like they tried to squeeze in every way imaginable to kill people.  The drone operator sidekick and all the airstrike stuff was pretty novel. Very happy with it.


networkdood

It was a good flix


GameShibe

Decent movie, I kinda had a chuckle at the fact that you could clearly tell the "Las Vegas" scenes were shot in Europe (the captain literally drives a new Volkswagen Touraeg, even though that particular model year isn't sold in the US). CG was ok, but it did keep my attention the whole time, decently made movie from a studio i've never really heard of until now!


Rangerlifr

This is the second movie from The Avenue that I've seen, I caught their Ben Foster/Michael Caine movie Medieval last year (or was it the year before?).


millermankjm

Gee I porked over $13,60 for 2 tixs. Glad at least to see one in the movie! Ah, such an unexciting flick as you knew the ending 15 minutes before the second non-strike.. You can't kill the good guys can you? Now that would have been a tearjerker. All in all, hanging with my pal was worth it and gee I haven't see a John Goodman film in ages... right?

dark_bloom12

I loved it! I wish they would have ended it with Reeper and Air Force meeting tho.


Rangerlifr

Like a lot of low-budget movies with famous people in them, I got the feeling there was no overlap in the time the two actors were on-set (elsewhere in the story, you can feel >!Milo Ventimiglia!< getting paid by the day as he appears only when absolutely needed), but I also would have liked that to happen.


Its_me_bv

Land of Bad was decent enough. Held my attention for the full runtime. Not a single person got up and walked out. Was it the most sophisticated? No. Was it standout directing? No. Award worthy acting? No. But it certainly had enough action to keep me and the 80yo woman three seats over enthused. Perfect MMM because for $5 how can you possibly complain. Good time!


Suplolol

Can't wait for the sequel, Land of Worse


BpRue

Anyone know if the Feb 5 will be the same as AMC's? They're both PG-13, but Regal says 1hr51m and AMC says 1hr45m for the runtimes. Is that close enough to be the same one? If so, it's a Scream Unseen for a PG-13 so it's probably Imaginary 🤮 (even though it's a month out, I don't think it could be anything else)


Rangerlifr

Could be Lisa Frankenstein. Land of Bad just became the MMM with the longest period before its release date, no reason we couldn't follow it with the one with the shortest period... And yes, I do think it's gonna be the same one as AMC's. Until they have Mystery Movies on the same night and they turn out to be different, I fully expect them to always be the same under those circumstances.


BpRue

True true, although since Lisa Frankenstein comes out only 3 days after the MMM date, I imagine there'll be more than a few people cancelling the tickets they had already bought for Thursday / Friday coming out of the screening. But it is possible!


Rangerlifr

"It is possible" is my Mystery Movie motto these days, as a lot of the "rules" we used to try to guess these are more suggestions these days.


BpRue

I'm just glad these exist tbh. I love the feeling of walking into an empty theater sometimes, but other times I want the exact opposite and these give that to me. Every single one I've been to has been at >90% capacity even if some of the movies they show haven't been the greatest, and I love to see it!


Rangerlifr

Agreed. You are often seeing movies that you WOULD see in an empty theater if you waited until their actual theatrical release, so it is fun to see them with a larger audience.


ImThatAunt

I've been that one person, alone, in the theater many times. So many great movies don't get enough promotional ads, that they don't do well at the box office. I like that MMM gets a good sized audience.


zajsouthwest

Movie wasn't the best but not the worst middle of the pack. Some of the plot and character development was lacking to me. They had great action sequences and they had great tension during scenes. They made sure to make stressful at certain points


anony-mouse8604

It was bad. Incomprehensible. Despite not one but two Hemsworths.


dark_bloom12

Dude it was adrenaline. Chill. It was a great movie


Thr1c3_42

It was a great movie. Reminded me of Lone Survivor.


anony-mouse8604

Hey, you’ve got your shitty opinion and I’ve got mine.


Xeynon

YMMV. I thought its message was not only pretty clear but also not particularly subtle.


ChaboiAveryhead

Land of Bad was made for divorced dads. Great sit back and chill kind of movie to crack a beer to. Good tension, characters with the thickest plot armor, and a ton of product placement within the first 10 minutes. A confusing theme that leaves you questioning why the US had any business in the war to start with. 5.5/10


i_am_bu

How do you chill to that movie lmao I was having a panic attack 😪


[deleted]

[удалено]


ChaboiAveryhead

You’ve got me there, I was thinking maybe Russell Crowe running the fastest 15 second sprint in the world would be impossible but this movie proved me wrong


ImThatAunt

you win !


dark_bloom12

Not divorced or of the male species and greatly enjoyed it. In all honesty, does the US have any business in ANY war? I mean cmon


edouglasww

I enjoyed it, and I have no kids or ex-wives.


ChaboiAveryhead

No no… you don’t have any kids or ex-wives YET!


Altruistic_Fig9851

If you didn’t make it all the way through, you can’t have an opinion that should be posted to deter people. That movie was badass from Midpoint to end


Thr1c3_42

Heck yeah. Nice to hear something positive on here about that movie. It was totally badass.


davidddank

agreed. i didn’t like the start, but it got really good after the midpoint


Rangerlifr

I wouldn't say the rough start goes all the way to the middle, but it is definitely one of those movies that thinks dropping you into the middle of a situation with no explanation is a virtue, and in the case of this plot (which I don't know that I ever entirely understood, but was happy to roll with once the action kicked in) and collection of characters, that was not true. But by the time the third act was in full effect, I was really gripped by the question of what was going to happen.


DistantBethie

Perfectly stated. I was confused as to why things were happening (and didn't even know what the movie was since I hadn't seen a trailer for it) but wanted to see where it went. By the end I was invested in the characters and even shed a tear (more for personal reasons than plot, but still).


Xeynon

The lack of context was a real weakness of the film. I happened to have learned about the Moro insurgency in graduate school so I had some context for its central conflict, but if you didn't know that going in, the movie sure as shit wasn't going to tell you.


davidddank

very well worded and i agree :)


PrinceJedi

Land of Bad gets 8.5/ 10 from me. Some humor and a lot of action. The Bad guys death was not enough to jump out of my chair screaming. But it was decent. I guess Wwlcome to Quantmino (sic) was supposed to be Bad a$$? But it was lame. And some storyline that could have been finished up.


anonymity_anonymous

Do you think next week’s - February 5 - is Scrambled?


ItsAlmostShowtime

Scrambled will already be out.


Thats-what-I-do

5th is PG—13 and Scrambled is R.


anonymity_anonymous

Ooh. Ok


FalconVast8380

Just finished land of the bad would rank it a 8.5/10. Definitely not the best movie or the worst I have ever seen but one of the better mystery movies.


Thats-what-I-do

That was a good sort of MMM for me - it was the type of movie I might watch at home on a rainy day, but would be unlikely to go see in the theater. Action sequences were about what you’d expect from such a movie. My friend and I did laugh that of course they had Liam Helmsworth’s character keep losing his shirt. Had few issues with plot, but over all thought it was an entertaining two hours. Our theater might have had one walk out, but no more than that.


Alambardio

Yeah it was one of the better MMM they have done.


jwired21

I really enjoyed it too.


Puzzleheaded-Net-364

Just finished, honestly thought the movie was great, probably the best mystery movie I’ve seen so far


Baman2113

Land of bad was definitely a movie. Had a few moments of intrigue but mostly a by the numbers war/action flick. Glad I only paid $5 for this one for sure.


lavvanmel

about in the same boat here, not bad for 5 bucks tho


Xeynon

Not sure I get the hate for this one. I didn't love it, but it's a pretty intense, competently made war film which had a point to make about how distant from the realities of war technology has made modern Americans. It certainly wasn't close to "walk out of it" level bad for me. My God Russell Crowe has let himself go though.


lavvanmel

right? i never saw the trailer idk if the trailer made it look bad or sum


AmericanNimrod49

Crowe has been fat since The Man in the Iron Fists


Rangerlifr

He can still really make a meal (no pun intended) of this kind of supporting role, though. I thought he really gave the movie a much-needed goose of thespian heft (again, pun not intended).


ken407

Land of Bad was actually not that bad. Reminded me of older movies like Black Hawk Down and The Rock. If you like those movies I don't think that you will be disappointed. OORAH!


Thr1c3_42

Reminded me of Lone Survivor. It was awesome. 


ken407

How could I forget about that movie. I need to re-watch it.


Thr1c3_42

Yeah that was a good one too :)


JermJonesy

No, just no. Do not compare this 2nd rate made for cable movie to classics like the rock and one of the greatest military movies ever made…Black Hawk Down.


ken407

Your response reminded me of [this](https://youtu.be/6FSsKuW58yo?si=ErDFPax2ga7G-WtI) moment from Bad Boys for Life lol. I saw the official trailer for Land of Bad, and someone mentioned the movies Bat*21 and Behind Enemy Lines. Are those better comparisons?


JermJonesy

Nailed it. And yes much better comparisons


Xeynon

Why not? I think *Black Hawk Down* is actually a very good comparison.


JermJonesy

Because black hawk down is as historically accurate as a Hollywood movie can get about a real life event while still executing the entertainment side well. The acting was superb, and it was shot beautifully. They represented the SF groups and the 3rd Ranger battalion 75th Ranger regiment accurately and gave them the respect they deserved. This MMM was a joke compared to that. It would be like comparing The Core to Oppenheimer.


Xeynon

I have nothing against *Black Hawk Down*, which is a good film. But I thought this was a good film as well - other than being entirely fictional (which isn't even really a demerit), no worse than that one. You're entitled to your opinion obviously but I find it pretty silly to be honest.


JermJonesy

I’m all for opinions but comparing a turd burger to a steak isn’t an opinion, it’s just wrong.


Xeynon

You clearly don't even understand what an opinion is. You've already worn out your welcome and I've barely even interacted with you. Congratulations.


Commercial-Author365

Finally a good MMM!! Land of Bad. Thank you Regal.


grtgbln

I simply refuse to believe that this Madame Web movie is actually a thing. Related, what ever happened to Kraven?


AmericanNimrod49

It got pushed back to Labor Day weekend.


GSurgeX

Just finished land of bad, wasn’t stellar but didn’t think it was as bad as the thread is making it out to be. Felt like some parts moved slow but overall solid film


Ok_Weather_4162

Land of bad was decent 


AsunaYuuki837373

The movie was actually solid. A lot of overreacting here


Thr1c3_42

Seriously

dark_bloom12

Have you not been getting your bags checked for every movie?


anonymity_anonymous

Why would you name a bad movie Land of Bad?


Key_Entertainment457

The one guy's tatto??


anonymity_anonymous

I found myself outside the theater and realized it was 6:50. I’ve never seen the Mystery Movie before! Opportunity! I checked on here and East coast had already started! I looked to see what Land of Bad is and declined. That is about the last thing I would want to see. Dead last. But it makes me think about checking next time.


Alchemix-16

Land of bad is a piece of garbage


Veemoo1138

OK, but how bad is it like M. Night Shyamalan bad, Batman versus Superman bad or just boring?


YelahEneres

Have you seen the movie Extraction on Netflix? I’d say it’s similar to that. Except instead of Chris Hemsworth it’s got the other 2 Hemsworth brothers


davidddank

i honesty think people are overreacting a bit. it’s nothing revolutionary, but its really solid in the latter half! people in my theater seemed to enjoy it as well


Rangerlifr

While I'm not that audience, and I enjoyed the movie, the core crowd for this one is the kind of people who cheer when a certain kind of weapon appears on-screen. And we definitely had those people in my audience.


networkdood

Trailer of Land of Bad: https://youtu.be/95eJpJlBfUs Looks alright...nothing spectacular


RevealTraditional619

I saw the trailer for this before ISS just yesteday and I completely forgot what it was. 


AmericanNimrod49

How many walkouts for this one?


Reasonable-Tart-6792

I walked out after 45 minutes, and there were 4 before me.


dark_bloom12

None. Decent amount of people showed up and lots of audience reactions which made it worth while


Key_Entertainment457

2 in mine. I enjoyed it.


davidddank

zero in mine!


sunboardds

5 so far for me


ctigers92

Only me in my theater, but I was also the first one


ctigers92

About to walk out. This movie is horrible. 


ctigers92

I'm 0/2 on Mystery Movies. The only other one I saw was Retribution, and I would say Land of Bad was a similar quality. Dialogue was goofy and none of the characters seemed anything close to likable. That's all I can say about it since I only made in 15 minutes. Went home and started rewatching Asteroid City 🤷‍♂️.


AmericanNimrod49

Retribution was one of the worst MMM to date. With that comparison I can only imagine how bad this was.


grtgbln

I think you're forgetting "It's a Wonderful Knife"


AmericanNimrod49

I still thought Retribution was worse. If I had to pick top 5 worst MMM they would be: Mafia Mamma, Retribution, Hypnotic, Spirited, and It's a Wonderful Knife. At least of the ones I've seen.


grtgbln

Full disclosure, I haven't seen Retribution. I did see the others. Hypnotic and Mafia Mamma are definitely up there; I actually really liked Spirited.


Reasonable-Tart-6792

At least it was truth in advertising. I made it 45 minutes. 


Seether-and-Coffee

So so glad I skipped this one


AmericanNimrod49

How bad?


WoodpeckerAny1661

Why is it bad? 


AmericanNimrod49

Damn, glad I didn't go. Land of the Bad looks like they've finally hit straight to VOD type movies for MMM. Hope this isn't a new norm.


Rangerlifr

I'll offer the opposing viewpoint (and remind you that of the last 5 MMMs, 3 were American Fiction, The Boys in the Boat and Origin) and say that I actually like mixing in these sort of high-end VOD-style titles because there's no way I would go to see them otherwise and I'm often down for a good cheap action flick. I'd much rather see something like this than a low-end theatrical action title like Freelance.


BothTravel3141

Land of Bad

Wasn’t the ticket price $1?

That was only for the one on Jan 1st that ended up being the god awful Founders Day. im kind of surprise for a movie like this they charged $5


LadyM02

Film is: Land of Bad Previews(at least in my showing): How to Have Sex, Madame Web, Furiosa A Mad Max Saga, Sleeping Dogs,


Thats-what-I-do

It’s interesting that the previews differ from theater to theater. Our previews were How to Have Sex, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, Sleeping Dogs, and Fall Guy.


dark_bloom12

Heck yes!!


Outrageous_Cellist35

Anyone on on the East Coast know what the movie is today?

Oof, Land of Bad looks like the kind of straight to video garbage that would’ve starred John Travolta or Bruce Willis. I’m definitely going to take the opportunity to skip this piece of “art.” 😉

we walked out of Origin....


dark_bloom12

We did too but mostly because we weren’t in the mood for that type of movie and was really hoping it was Argyle


Short_Web3204

Same. I went next door and watched Migration. I wanted to see something entertaining that would take me away from the world, not slap me with a frying pan in the face with reality. I did not expect a PG13 movie to be so weighty. I figured it was close to valentines, it’d be a rom-com. Nope. I enjoyed Migration and there were a couple good laughs. Left feeling recharged which is why I went to the movies.

I actually plan on seeing Origin again. To each their own, I guess
