Don J Saw the new 4K remaster of Basic Instinct (2021) produced by Rialto Pictures and Studio Canal. The transfer was really good and clean and felt fresh for a movie that is almost 30 years old. I had not seen this movie in about 15 years, so seeing it on the big screen felt pretty fresh. Is Basic Instinct a great movie? No. But, I think it was a bold movie for it's time to take on some really explicit material including sexual and sadistic violence, which many producers didn't have the courage to take on before. The movie's main strength is the electrifying chemistry between Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/10/21 Full Review Fabrícia F Por ser um filme clássico para a maioria dos cinéfilos, a moral desse filme prova que a cobiça leva o homem a ruína. Envolvido numa experiência atípica, o protagonista (Michael Douglas) se deixa levar pela fraqueza de caráter ao se apaixonar por uma perigosa mulher (Sharon Stone) suspeita de assassinato. É uma tentação que ele poderia ter evitado se fosse mais esperto, pois a personagem de fato é uma homicida cruel e sanguinária que usa a tática da sedução como instrumento de manipulação para escapar da punição da lei. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review Sam E One of the best movies ever made. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/30/24 Full Review David F This is such a sleazy and smarmy update to the Film Noir formula of femmes fatale and urban decay that I couldn’t help but love it. It’s got thrilling and somewhat cliched plot about a detective trying to solve a sex murder in San Francisco, it’s got lots of great establishing shots of the Transamerica Pyramid and Golden Gate Bridge to constantly remind us where we are (plus a car chase up or down one of those crazy vertical San Francisco streets), and it’s got Sharon Stone in her prime. The way the film just embraces all these B-Movie goodies in a bear hug makes it endearing. It’s a popcorn film, wildly entertaining, adult and childish in equal amounts, and just really fine moviemaking all around. I love how it borrows the tone, music, and atmosphere of Vertigo with those long lingering following shots while mysterious music plays on the soundtrack and the waves of Northern California crash against the rocks. This is a film to be savoured. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/28/24 Full Review Aleksander S Basic Instict is a story filled with eroticism and passion. Although engaging, the plot has some gaps, which are hard to overlook. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/22/24 Full Review Zach Z I thought this was a really well done movie. With twists, sexual themes, sexuality, and crime, Sharon Stone did a great job acting and the camera work is fantastic. Thank you for making this movie.
