Put "Predestination" on your radar
Christopher Holubik
Voted for interstellar. But, Predator is also great.
Fan of movies3594
May I suggest something? Violet Evergarden is one of the best series ever, and I think you would really enjoy it. I hope we get a poll for that soon, because it seems right up your alley and is one of the best series I have ever watched.... Everyone I have shown it to is amazed and touched by it. A definite recommendation to check out in the future!
Paul Madill
I voted for Interstellar and loved when I seen to the overwhelming vote's for this movie. It's great you're going to love it😀
Kozmo
it is science fiction and every movie is a drama.
Cripkie
I wouldnt say Interstellar is science fiction. its all theoretically possible, but i guess thats what makes it a great film. More of a drama tho imo.
Thomas Mulholland
New Patreon member 😁 Interstellar is one of my all time favorites.
REDR58
Predator and Planet of the Apes are classics that simply need to be watched but Ex Machina is the best film on the list. Haven't seen Interstellar yet.
Ivari Tölp
The Adam Project. * hint hint nudge nudge * Mark Ruffalo is playing a role straight out of Endgame, there.
Rey
Funny enough interstellar is the only one of these 4 i dont own , guess imma have to rent it this week
FateMalone
I can never be on the winning side of polls lol all great movies imo but planet of the apes is something id like to see her reaction to
Shawn E Mercado
Ex Machina super relevant for 2022. Interstellar better movie though.
RonJon
Ex Machina for sure
Jack Burton
What movie do you think is the best on this list?
Martin
I agree Interstellar will likely get a good reaction and a shit load of view from Nat. Ex Machina is excellent though, check it out
Rudewalrus
I really don't get it; why is Interstellar so popular?
Richard Maurer
@ Daniel - Yeah, I would prefer a dictatorship.........with me as dictator, of course.
Colter
one day planet of the apes will win :') kinda hoping she just decides to do it since she has had it in a poll so many times
Molecule
Got a new TV for Black Friday and Interstellar was the first thing I watched on it. I don't know if I can handle it again so soon! :'(
Ernesto
I am surprised that Interstella won, and by so much, but happy as I only watched it in theaters once.
James
Yall picking Interstellar(i did too) cause yall wanna see Nat pour her eyes out ^.^
Eric Janssen
On Nat's poll, that's a badge of honor: It means you know that movies existed before you were born, and that it wasn't their fault.
TexasNight
I feel ya brother..
Garrick Smalley
Looks like I'm in dead last group again. Hope springs eternal.
Richard Maurer
Opti_Frog - completely agree with your post and can only add this - CGI is here to stay, for better or worse, so either get used to it or stop watching movies - and stop complaining about them.
Opti_Frog
Neither age nor the kind of VFX used determines if a movie is good. If you complain about a movie being CGI-heavy and looking "realistic" then you make the same mistake as someone who complains about practical effects looking "fake". It seems to be you who's got a "fanboy persecution complex," or at least a very thin skin. I love both POTA -68 and Rise -11.
Rey
God its all the movies i want in competition with each other lol, i gotta go ex machina now , one of my favorites
Powers209
When I seen Interstellar, I had to read the title again to see if it was a base movie list. I'll say I'm not a Nolan fan and this was the movie that made me realize that fact.
Eric Janssen
Nnnno: If you bothered to watch the old ones (despite the fact that eww, makeup is so PHYSICAL!), you would have spotted Rise for a flat-out remake of the ‘72 Conquest of the POTA, with a quick screenwriter erasing of everything that happened in Escape From the POTA. Battle for the POTA managed to provided the New series with TWO other remakes, since they couldn’t get enough of Woody Harrelson playing the Severn Darden villain. Which is, since you asked, what the discussion is about: It helps to.actually know this stuff.
Opti_Frog
It gets a lot of things right but sometimes gets really stupid.
Opti_Frog
What even is this discussion? The recent trilogy is a prequel that complements the original. Not a remake. Rise is one of the best prequels ever made, and it kind of assumes you have seen the original.
Nathan Elkin
Ex Machina is one of my favorite movies ever, simply for its aesthetic. It has one of my favorite stories as well, but the visuals of the movie are insane.
Eric Janssen
True, in the 70’s, they couldn’t afford neat stuff to show to 10-yo’s, so they had to make all their pre-Lucas films into pretentious dystopian stories in the hopes of selling themselves to the grownups, and snagging a few technical Oscars for cheap validation. Speaking of which, gee, I’ll bet she’ll enjoy Chris Nolan’s work on Interstellar! 😛
Richard Maurer
Yes Eric, that is correct.
Mastervodo
It would have been cool for Nat to do Predator, especially since she just finished with the Terminator movies. Predator is a solid movie, even today. Holds up very well. But - really, Ex Machina is the most cerebral of this bunch. Interstellar - lets scratch that off so we can get to some other movies we all want to watch. And really - here's an idea - Watch all 4 of these in the order in which they are picked! All are good.
Danishprince
She has seen it :)
Alan
Man interstellar is in my top 10 movies ever I’m very thankful that is winning. Although all these are great
Nicholas Sulikowski
How do I vote for Ex Machina, Interstellar, and Planet of the Apes all at once?
Athenor
I have another oft missed sci fi action movie suggesstion for you Nat,the movie is called Soldier and I won't spoil anything for you with a summery. Altho its probably more action then sci fi so maybe not what you are looking for at the moment
Eric Janssen
Yeah, and who cares if Rod Serling adapted the author's original work, it should look really cool and REALISTIC! Who wants to see a movie where you can see how it was made, I want to see Andy Serkis display his detailed craft of jumping around in ping-pong balls!
Elle
For next poll: ARRIVAL Please please do Arrival at some time Nat. It’s such a beautifully well done film.
Myles Away
Predator is a great action film but this being a Science Fiction poll I wouldn't vote for it against the others. Bad grouping for it unfortunately.
Philip Davetas
I'll go with it, man. Sometimes things just aren't fair.
Kelvin
I would also prefer Predator of this list. Ah well
Michael Butler
I'm with you. I think the "I've never seen it" vibe might also include the audience. Things that are newer beat that which is older.
Mastervodo
The bear! AAAAAAAHHHH!
blkmage
I do think her reaction to Interstellar will be interesting but I agree that Predator is almost a must, it inspired so so so many bad copies. Like 30 years of direct to video stuff that would line blockbuster walls
Daniel Green
Exactly. I don’t understand these polls sometimes. Just goes to show you that Democracy doesn’t work lol
Daniel Green
I can’t believe you people aren’t voting for Predator. The greatest action film of them all. I’ve been waiting for Nat to react to it for over two years. So disappointed. Especially considering Natalie likes Die Hard (as we all do) and Predator was made by the same director of Die Hard at the peak of his powers one year earlier.
Joshua Gardiner
This comment is accurate af
Riolkin
I've been wanting to see Interstellar for a long time, so this is as good a reason as any to go ahead and rent it when you see it.
Nick
Agree. Most just in response to the reply comment and became a bit defensive. It's really hard to compare. Same with sports. Who would win Jordan or LeBron. They all have their pros & cons. I think the Dark knight & Dawn of the P of the A were both spectacular movies in their own right given the context of the time and genre. I will defend that. But you are right in what you are saying.
bostonate
I’ve seen you regret not having tissues handy, so I’ll just say, come prepared if Interstellar wins.
Ken
Random rant here: generations are an awful way to view pop culture. 15-20 years is a verrry long time in pop culture. The youngest millennial 'kids' are in their mid 20s and the oldest, well into their 40s. Gen Z's already in its 20s. I'm a late Gen Xer and probably have more in common with older Millennials born in the early to mid 80s than I do older, fellow Gen Xers born in the 60s Also as much as younger folks could appreciate older movies more, older people can be overly nostalgic.
Richard Maurer
Just because somethings older doesn't necessarily make it better. while the 68' original was pretty good, the sequels don't really hold up. The new trilogy is just better and the CGI is better than the ape costumes, which weren't really that good even in their own time.
Richard Maurer
lol - hot monkeys.
David Crabtree
Predator above all else on this list!
Myles Away
Interstellar and Ex Machina are two of my favourites. Both great for different reasons.
Nick
Yeah exactly. Not the over exaggerated how good some movies were in the past because of nostalgia and gate keeping movies because "kids these days don't know what good movies are" and only I and people who are older can know & appreciate good movies because somehow cgi means bad while ignoring the fact that miniatures, camera tricks, & post film editing/manipulation is just cgi when they didn't have cgi to use. I also love that Nolan is being criticized for over using cgi and a movie that has a man playing a life like monkey is also criticized for cgi even though a bunch of real sets & practical effects were used besides the whole making a realistic monkey appear on screen. But you're probably right clearly people in a monkey mask is the only way movies should be done.
Eric Janssen
There was the No-relation ‘01 Tim Burton one, which was so awful, the New series was done as a “do-over” when the producer who wanted the Burton version wasn’t amused at what he got. 😠
Eric Janssen
“the Dark Knight of the series”? Oh, you mean the CGI-heavy 00’s one overpraised by Millennial kids who only watch movies they were alive to see play theaters, and then go into fanboy persecution complexes that the better known 60’s versions somehow “shamed” them before the pretentious new version “got it right”? 😛
Jay Robert
All of them!
Diggy49
Interstellar is one of the my fav films of all time. Excited for you to watch it!
Philip Davetas
Which other ones were there? The Tim Burton one? Was the new trilogy one of them?
Eric Janssen
If you mean the 1968 Planet of the Apes, I’m voting. 😎. Please clarify.
REDR58
I think that was mostly due to the relatively unconvincing prosthetic effects for the Terminator, but Predator one still looks solid.
Philip Davetas
How is PREDATOR not kinging this beast? Especially with PREY out this year? I've never watched INTERSTELLAR, but I guess I'll have to.
PickettsChargingPort
My own opinion but I think interstellar is a highly overrated film.
Walter Lopez
Please I beg you! Do your Interstellar reaction in IMAX! I'm kidding, obviously, but I am warning you the score is phenomenal... Oh and it's loud, like, really loud.
Nick
Instead of Planet you should do the new Ape Trilogy. Specifically Dawn. The Dark Knight of the series.
Leenis
In recognition of what chatGPT looks like it will usher in to our world, I really hope you pick Ex Machina.
Elisa H.
Is this the classic planet of the apes from like the 70s and predator from the 80sm
Jordan Love
That movie had no right to be that funny.
Christopher
Yeah I’m sure I’ve just seen a similar reactor react to it before mixed with her saying she’s seen it before but my mind is playing tricks on me lol
More Batteries
Ohhhh yeeesssss!! Ex Machina is getting closer and closer in each Poll! Thank you Natalie you truly are the best!! Love love love this channel!
sarCC
Maybe start putting potential rewatches in polls of their own? No reason to compete with first-time watches imo
Martin
yeah those monkeys are HOT
Joe Blankenship
^this, Step Brothers rules
Joe Blankenship
Get the tissues ready.
Tucci
Lifelong fan of the Predator franchise but you'll find Ex Machina and Interstellar much more interesting. Both top-tier sci-fi films. The new Planet of the Apes trilogy is amazing as well.
Saifu
I thought Nat previously said she watched Interstellar before? Nat should give Tenet a shot instead if the choice is going to be a Nolan film.
Vincent Valentin
Nooo I don't understand how Ex Machina keeps losing and interstellar is winning
Brandon Corcoran
Love Interstellar, definitely deserves a correct screen and experience to take it in. But I would also suggest Ex Machina as a second reaction to follow. One of my favorites.
Adam Block
So planet of the apes, the original is actually very good still. And speaks a lot to the racial tensions at the times, overall has aged well. The other ones aren't as good for sure. I would also recommend the remake/new ones to Nat more past the first original one tbh. But. Doesn't look like it's winning regardless xD
Lisa Tosti
Yeah I wasn't sure which one she was referring to as well so I picked another option. I really like the 2011 trilogy.
Narutoanime16
I assume it’s the one with James Franco I never saw the old ones myself
Razor Bikini
Interstellar is one of Nolan’s most interesting films but I’m not a huge fan, would rather see you react to Ex Machina. And I’m assuming Planet of the Apes is meant to be Rise? If that’s the case that would be my pick because that trilogy is one of the best mainstream blockbuster trilogies of my lifetime, so I’m disappointed to see it losing so badly.
Dominykas Veiveris
Been waiting for Interstellar for a long time. It came up on multiple polls but didn't succeed enough. Finally
tezster
Interstellar is fantastic, but Ex Machina is more interesting. It's more of a psychological thriller in a sci-fi setting.
Adam Block
Which Planet of the Apes series are you watching??? If it's the newer one I would vote for that, may be even the older ones. Just unsure which ones you mean?
Kyle
Rewatches beating out first time reactions?? Has everyone who voted interstellar never seen the other three choices?
tezster
I may be misremembering, but I thought she had mentioned she had seen the movie already, so it wouldn't necessarily be a first time reaction.
JayF
With Planet of the Apes you need to specify which one. There is the original 1968 one which still holds up as a classic. There is the 2001 abomination that should be forgotten forever. Then there is the newer trilogy which starts with Rise of the Planet of the Apes from 2011. You really can't go wrong between the 1968 original and the 2011 one. I think the original would give you a great start on the story from the new trilogy but it isn't absolutely necessary.
Daniel Green
Predator!!!!!
Christopher
I swear I have a Mandela Effect situation where I've watched Interstellar with Natalie already, every time I see it in a poll I wonder why she keeps putting in a movie I've already seen her watch.
Richard Maurer
I guess we'll have to get the somewhat overrated Interstellar out of the way to get to Ex Machina
JayyDTR
Ex Machina will always get my vote.
Jerry Gonzalez
It is time
Greg S.
Rewatches should be on their own poll, not mixed with first time reactions. Ex Machina gets my vote. Predator follows closely behind.
El Mémé
They're all great
Scott Dorr
Totally agree on Ex Machina
Patrick Egan
I had to go with Predator. Not only is it a fun movie, but it’ll set up for yo to eventually watch Prey, which was fantastic.
Nathaniel Castle
I’m going with predator it won’t win but it’s an amazing classic
Brian Jones
Ex Machina is easily the best of the bunch, but it looks like you will be watching Interstellar again. Hope Ex Machina ends up on another list in the future.
Darchangel
Oblivion lol
Chris Mcbrayer
Was kinda hoping Starship Troopers would be on here, if you haven't seen it already. Lol
Jay
If you’re gonna do planet of the apes u should do the new trilogy
K.N.
Voted for Ex Machina, but I guess every Nolan film wins the polls.
Danishprince
Because watching Interstellar on a tiny screen on a plane doesn't really give the proper experience :)
Diiirk706
Fair fair; her T-1 reaction was pretty trash/frustrating, I expect the same with Preds TBH, still wanna see it though... Ex Machina out of all of these is her best choice, and it's actually reeeeally good (So is Predator, but I digress), but here we are...
Danishprince
She has but it was years ago onboard a plane on those tiny screens :)
Diiirk706
Eggggggggggg Zach Tlee.....
Ken
It's not a criticism of the movie. I'm saying it's not going to match up with her taste. I'd expect lots of loud, uncomfortable laughter at things that aren't supposed to be funny.
LightsCameraJake
She's already seen interstellar. This would be a rewatch. Why is it winning? 🙃🙃🙃
Diiirk706
Interstellar is already overrated traaaaaaaaaash, and she's seen it to boot apparently..............wow............
William 1611
Well, it looks like Interstellar is a runaway winner, and it's a terrific movie, but I had to vote for "Ex Machina." It's SO different, Nat, and so unique. I really think you'd be stunned and impressed by it, and I'd love to witness your reaction. And there's always time for Interstellar later!
Diiirk706
Naw. It's Magical. So is 2. And both are much needed to watch before Prey.
FullMetal B
I really want to go with ex machina, but I feel like I need to vote interstellar.
Brian H
Arghhhh.... Ex Machina. Lol.
Thomas Richter
I just rewatched it last night
Olivia Carney
Omgggg interstellar
Joshua Kon
You have a great weekend as well!
Ken
I suspect she'll think it's corny...which it is...but she won't find the charm
Ian
The fact nats already seen interstellar be it ages ago Id much rather see a first time reaction so the apes get my vote
Thomas Richter
Predator is more of a action thriller sci-fi.
Len
Please watch Step Brothers, such an iconic comedy
Joshua Kon
I think she has seen it once on a plane. Which is a horrible way to watch that movie
Michael Butler
I agree. But maybe Interstellar is the best choice in terms of reaction.
Modders
You really haven’t seen interstellar? I doubt it
Randee Carreno
Happy Saturday, Natalie! 😊 Great movie choices foe this poll. "Interstellar" immediately got my vote. Have a great day today! 😊 Stay Golden! 💛
Taylor Orwick
Interstellar is one of my FAVORITE MOVIES 😊 ex machina is REALLY GOOD but not quite as thought provoking for me
Jamie A-H
Planet of the Apes losing again already 😭💔
Dave A
I had to vote Ex Machina. It's one of my favorite movies, it's so good!
Fostena
Ex Machina is the best. Interstellar is the most spectacular
Trinity Davis
Interstellar bc I haven't seen it myself and would love to watch it w u ❤️
Steve J
Most people would just call this list "Movie Night"
Diiirk706
.............Predator is the *only* choice....
Chris
I thought she had seen interstellar though? if not, interstellar for sure, if yes, ex machina!
Haughtbreaker Nic
Interstellar is one of my favorite movies to watch people react to, but truthfully all these movies are great
Tim Franklin
I was so ready to vote for something Star Trek, but I'm excited about Interstellar, too.
Austin
All of these are worthy of a reaction! But I am happy to start with Interstellar 😊
Terra_Omega_3
She’s already seen interstellar guys. Choose Planet of the Apes!
bytefyre
Which Planet of the Apes are we talking here? The original with Charlton Heston has a special place in cinematic history.
Sam Kimpton
Interstellar is great. It can take a bit to wrap your brain. Around some of the concepts, but it's a solid piece of science fiction.
Zack Wallace
Ex Machina won’t win. But it should. A classic for sure. I don’t think I have seen very many reactions to it either. Hopefully, it becomes an executive decision by Natalie like she did with Drive. Because it’s incredible.
LightsCameraJake
Well shit, I can only choose one? Dammit. I'm gonna go with apes since she seen interstellar already
Derrick
Interstellar first. Ex Machina after for sure
Josip Buretić
Ex Machina is great, I also love Planet of the Apes trilogy, Predator is classic from my youth.
Darryl Low
Happy Saturday Nat. 4th time lucky for those Apes, please 🐵 Have a great weekend, and thanks for all your awesome work this week Nattie G 💛
Jason Dolan
Predator all the way to the choppah
Tonttu
Interstellar is a must watch, but my favorite of the bunch is still Ex Machina
Aquilam_Auratum
Ex Machina is definitely a hidden gem, just never got the notoriety it deserved.
Kate
Where's transformers?
Joshua Kon
All great films. Im going with the one i feel is the best/highest quality in Ex Machina but all these movies are solid A material
Gabriel L.
Oh wow a poll in which all the movies are good, but in very different ways. Hm. I picked Predator, but really we all win this time.
Ali D
Interstellar all the way for Nat.
John Piazza
Ex Machina is one of the best movies ever. I’ve never even heard of Interstellar
Afonso Neves
Interstellar for sure! 😃
