a5c7b9f00b In a violent, futuristic city where the police have the authority to actjudge, jury and executioner, a cop teams with a trainee to take down a gang that deals the reality-altering drug, SLO-MO.
In the vast, post-apocalyptic metropolis of Mega City One on America's east coast, the only law is provided by the Judges of the Hall of Justice - cops with the power of judge, jury and executioner. Most feared among these law-keepers is the ruthless and implacable Judge Dredd (<a href=">Karl Urban). More and more of the inhabitants of Mega City One are addicted to a drug that alters the brain's perception of time: Slo-Mo. While assigned to train and evaluate Cadet Judge Cassandra Anderson (<a href=">Olivia Thirlby), Dredd is called to investigate a crime in Peach Trees, the notorious high-rise slum tower controlled by former prostitute-turned-drug-lord, Ma-Ma (<a href=">Lena Headey) and her clan. The Judges capture one of the clan's senior members and Ma-Ma locks down the tower, leaving Dredd and Anderson with a choice: escape the slum with their prisoner or climb to the top of the tower to capture Ma-Ma and judge herwell.
Simply awful. Twisted imagery of violence, sex, & other vices. Lackluster. Ridiculous. Audacious. Uninteresting. No comic relief. No likable characters. No one to care about. When the heroes were in danger or even being hurt, couldn't care less. No enjoyable or crafty action sequences. Senseless shootings & killings of EVERYONE. Everyone is a criminal accept like three people. Video game gore. It was just incredibly dumb and poorly executed. They spent more time on the graphics when people were 'trippin' than anything else. There was no attempts at acting from Karl Urban who was by far the most talented person in the cast. It was obvious he was directed to performhe did. The costume design was surprisingly lame. The whole thing…Lame…
Thank god for the Judge Dredd refresh. The 1995 version starring the mouth of Sylvester Stallone washorrendousit gets; a kind of parody of what the original British comic stood for. It had romance, it was cheesy, it had Stallone blabbering and it had Rob Schneider! The 2012 version is the real McCoy- tight, thrilling, along with psychotic villains and gratuitous levels of stylishly executed violence, this is one dimensional fun to the nth level.<br/><br/>One of the biggest fallout of nuclear war is real estate- set in a dystopian era where most of the earth's remaining population post nuclear war resides in Mega City One, crime is rampant with 17,000 reported every day. All that stands between this chaos getting out of hand are the elite law enforcement officers- the Judges, who actjudge, jury and executioner. Judge Dredd, played with straightforward ruthlessness and deadpan humor by Karl Urban is a veteran judge- sees things in two colors, good and bad. He has a day out evaluating a rookie Judge Anderson played by Olivia Thirlby who has psychic abilities. While evaluating a grisly homicide replete with spilled brains and flayed skin in a 200 floor complex called Peach Trees, they come up against crazed prostitute turned drug lord Ma-Ma, played by Lena Headey who will not let them take one of her henchmen away, who can expose her underground drug operations. Curiously reminiscent of this year's The Raid Redemption, the rest of the movie is about these two judges fighting their way out through gazillions of henchmen, dispatching justice in creatively bloody ways.<br/><br/>Karl Urbanthe titular character has nothing much to work with- like in the comics, he never takes off his helmet, and we do not have a back-story on Dredd. This movie is about just another day in his life. However, Urban's portrayal is superb- he is an uber cool killing machine, oozing confidence, delivers his punch-lines well and kicks ass with style. Olivia Thirlby is the movie's emotional quotient-a psychic, she can delve into the minds of people rendering normal interrogatory techniques archaic. And by the end of the day, she undergoes the transformation from rookie to expert. Lena Headey has portrayed evil in Game of Thrones, here she is utterly ferocious, yet never close to being unhinged. Wire fans will rejoice at Wood "Avon" Harris getting a meaty roleMa-Ma's right hand man. <br/><br/>Director Peter Travis keeps things simple- he keeps the plot, the characters, the screenplay, the action, even the running time- simple and cohesive. The trick up his sleeve is the visual depiction of the drug Ma-ma is peddling. Called Slo-Mo, it slows down the user's perception of time, anda film-maker it lets him explore 3D's boundaries to the extremes- using slow motion capture to make brutal action sequences look dreamy, and visually arresting. The other big thing that works in Dredd's favor and happily so, is the quality of action- no holds barred, bloody- yeaah i like, i like. There isn't too much of hand to hand combat here, but the Lawgiver handgun that the judges have stand up in their own way to the Gatling guns that Ma-Ma unleashes. The Lawgivers are user coded, and voice activated- can through up a variety of projectiles. Technology finally being put to good use, i say. <br/><br/>To sum up, Dredd is a movie in the right direction for the comic book hero. This isR-rated violenceyou will get from Hollywood. This is introductory fare i hope- budgetary constraints meant most of the movie happens in a building- it did not explore the decaying environment outside of Mega City, hopefully sequels will address that. Still, Dredd is a lot of movie for action fans- eschewing the recent trend of VFX laden PG13 action, this one is raw, and has got panache too- thats a rarity nowadays, so savor it while you can. 8/10
The stylish sci-fi film makes some eye-popping and unexpected choices that add up to one heck of a fun film.
In the walled city of Mega City One in a post apocalyptic future America where crime is out of control. Judge Dredd (<a href="/name/nm0881631/">Karl Urban</a>), a tough cop who is a member of an elite police force called the Judges, is assigned to supervise the 24-hour training of incompetent rookie Cassandra Anderson (<a href="/name/nm1880888/">Olivia Thirlby</a>) who happens to be a mutant with telepathic abilities. Dredd and Anderson go to the apartment building "Peace Trees" to investigate an incident, but the building is soon sealed off and taken over by the evil and psychotic Ma-Ma (<a href="/name/nm0372176/">Lena Headey</a>), leader of a clan that is manufacturing a narcotic called "Slo-Mo". Ma-Ma declares that she won't allow anyone to leave until both Dredd and Anderson are eliminated. With communications cut off and no help from other Judges, Dredd and Anderson are forced to take on the Ma-Ma clan themselves and the Peach Trees apartment building soon turns into a war zoneDredd is determined not to let anything stand in his way and to bring Ma-Ma to justice. No. This is an original film based on the Judge Dredd character from the British comic 2000 AD and is unrelated to <a href="/title/tt0113492/">Judge Dredd (1995)</a> (1995), which is adapted from the same source. In the 36 years that Judge Dredd has been appearing in comics, his face has never been shown fully. Most fans agree that never showing Dredd's face helps to make Dredd a personification of justice; he's not just a citizen with a normal face, he's the law, and the helmet is the only face he needs. The faces of Dredd and his clone Rico are shownyoung boys in the story The Return of Rico (Case Files vol 1), and the face of their clone Father, Fargo (to whom they should be identical), is shown in Dredd Angel (Case Files vol 8). In parts of The Dead Man/Necropolis (Case Files 14) Dredd's face is shown in full but is obscured by horrific injuries. The Lawgiver from the 2012 film is voice-controlled and its grip has a DNA reader that causes the gun to explode if anyone but the owner attempts to use it. It fires the following types of rounds: (1) Full Metal Jacket, (2) Incendiary, (3) Hotshot, (4) Armor-piercing, (5) Stun, (6) Hi-Ex (High Explosive). In the comics, the Lawgiver has a dial allowing different types of ammunition to be selected and a palm-print scanner in the grip that causes the gun to self-destruct if anyone but the owner tries to use it. It fires 6 types of ammunition: (1) Standard, (2) Ricochet, (3) Heat-seeker, (4) Hi-Ex, (5) Incendiary, (6) Armor-piercing. Later stories have added various extra bullet types, including a stun gun feature, tear gas rounds, "Exorcist Bullets" designed for supernatural foes, and electronic tracker rounds. Before throwing her through the window, Dredd states that he doubts the range of the transmitter would be greater than the distance between the receiver attached to the explosives and the ground floor. His theory is proven correct when she hits the ground and the LED on her wrist goes from green to red, but the bombs are not activated.Open to interpretation. One is that Anderson hands Dredd her badge and walks off convinced she's failed her assessment but Dredd has actually passed her. The implication is that, whilst Dredd is convinced that Anderson has what it takes to be a judge, he leaves it to her to decide if she wants to be. The last scene shows Anderson carrying a helmet and a new gun walking towards the bikes, suggesting she has learned of Dredd's evaluation and decided to become a Judge. Another interpretation is that Anderson chooses not to become a judge,she hints at beforehand when she frees the hacker. Anderson hands Dredd her badge indicating her resignation and Dredd says, "She's a pass", using the meaning that she passes on the opportunity to become a Judge. She is seen walking away from the scene, and Dredd returns to the Hall of Justice on his motorcycle alone. Yes. Most of the movie is shot in 3D, using RED MX, SI2K, and Phantom Flex highspeed digital cameras, however it also contains some elements that were converted to 3D in post production. The song used in the original theatrical trailer for Dredd is the Skream remix of La Roux's "In For the Kill". The song playing during Dredd and Anderson's raid on the slo-mo den is "Poison Lips" by Vitalic. When the Clan's Techie, played by Domhnall Gleeson, is observing the monitors the song playing is Matt Berry's "Snuffbox" from the TV series of the same name. All other music heard in the film itself is the work of the film's composer, Paul Leonard-Morgan—whose original soundtrack album can be found on iTunes or Amazon. Anyone wanting to know more about the history and psychology of Dredd should seek out Brothers of the Blood and the collected epic Tour of Duty (collected in two books, subtitled The Backlash and Megacity Justice); which both centre much more on the character of Dredd himself and his relationship with the city and his job. Both books give new readers the background necessary to get the most out of Origins—by Dredd's creators, Wagner and Ezquerra—which explores the events that shaped the creation of the city, the justice system, and Dredd himself. Readers seeking Dredd stories that reflect the gritty tone and themes of the film, should seek out The Pit or Total War, the latter of which is a spiritual successor to and continues many of the themes explored in the classic Dredd story America. Tour of Duty covers similar territory to the inter-judicial conflict and mutant prejudice of the film (Anderson is a mutant), and Mandroid depicts Megacity Onethe kind of place that crushes the humanity of its citizens in the same mannerthe film. Anyone interested in the character of Anderson, featured in the film, can get some background in the series of reprints called The Psi Files. The Apocalypse War (found in The Complete Case Files vol 5) is probably the best of Dredd's epic adventures, and is written and drawn by Dredd's co-creators, John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra,is the superb Judge Death epic Necropolis (Case Files vol 14). The Dredd tale which most readers agree represents the best combination of story and art in the strip's history—and which offers a much darker, more sophisticated view of Dredd, Megacity One and the Justice System—is America, by John Wagner and Colin MacNeil; a story whose focus is on the lives of ordinary citizens under the totalitarian rule of the judges, and in which Dredd essentially plays the part of the villain. Dredd first appeared in the second issue (or "prog"they are known) of the weekly British comic 2000 AD published on 5 March 1977. Judge Dredd's weekly adventures are collected in a series of volumes knownThe Complete Case Files (currently 23 volumes). Although there's lots to recommend in Dredd's early output, including classic stories suchThe Cursed Earth and The Day The Law Died in volume 2, these early volumes are a sometimes less than ideal place to start reading because of their uneven narrative tone and art style. The Complete Case Files 3 through 5 are, by common consent, the point at which the strip overcame its growing pains and turned into something really interesting—and they make an ideal jumping on point for new readers. The characters of most interest to new or casual readers seem to be Judge Death and the Dark Judges, whose first appearances are drawn by Brian Bolland and can be found in The Complete Case Files volumes 3 and 5, and in the utterly superb full-colour epic Necropolis, which is reprinted in Case Files vol 14 and is written and drawn by Dredd's co-creators, John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra. They also appear in volume one of Judge Anderson's Psi Files, in a story which servesa bridge between their appearance in volumes 5 and 14 of The Complete Case Files. The origins of Judge Death are explored in volumes called Death Lives and The Life and Death of Judge Death. The rights holders, DNA films, are no longer actively pursuing the idea of a sequel. In an interview dated 17th December 2014, producer and screenwriter Alex Garland told Sci-fi Now magazine:<br/><br/>[Dredd] manifestly didn't worka theatrical release, particularly in America, or in fact anywhere outside of the UK. DVD sales are all very well, but you are still talking to people about them handing over a lot of money for a film that's happened twice and has not worked in their terms either time. The character has too many positives to be abandoned forever, but its going to be someone else at some future point who restarts it, who has another crack. It will be a different group of people, at a different point in time
