Dark Universe - General Discussion Thread

Mummy 1999 set the standard for balance of action, adventure, horror ....unfortunately, Universal has failed to recapture that balance on the big screen. Thankfully Monsters Unchained fills that void....

Now give us an expansion ride lol

I'm one of the few that liked the Helsing movie

But did you have the promo logo tshirt?

The question of whether Monsters Unchained is horror, I don't feel has a perfect answer that will satisfy everyone. Some may call it action, others horror. These genres are not set in stone by a deity; they're ill defined constructs, often changing person to person, culture to culture.

I'd call it action--adventure-horror in the same vein as other Universal pictures including The Mummy or Jurassic Park. But I'm sure not everyone will be happy me saying that.

If it has monsters as the thematic focal point of the narrative, to me, it's horror.
Doesn't matter how light or dark, how funny or serious, how romantic or dramatic: it's horror.
Lots of horror has action. Lots of horror doesn't have action. It doesn't make either of them MORE or LESS horror.
The debate isn't about genre, it's about whether or not the ride is scary; To which, that is always going to be subjective, MMV.

The waittime for the ride is & will be scary. Be sure to grab liquid courage at the Burning Blade Tavern

That album is going to go for ridiculous prices on the secondary market, I'm sure.

Really hoping it's restocked on opening day.

I believe they are intentionally holding it until opening day. They realized that they would have sold through all they had before the park opened at the rate they were going.

The lessons learned from Captain Cacao.

I think it's still going to be gone very quickly, and unless they do continuous new pressings of it, the only recourse will be ebay.

I'm going to head over there right a opening since it is a must do for me and I really want to do it at opening so that I can potentially do 2 runs or even more later on in the day/night.

There's nothing worse than people who are not even a fan of an album or any other thing meant for fans grabbing alot of copies of fan specific items just so that they can sell them off of online market places for a poop ton of money. I despise people like that honestly. It honestly makes me mad since why buy that items that other people could have just so you can sell it for a ridiculously price.

Are you referring to Monsters Unchained or Burning Blade Tavern?

Most would agree this is a fair question. Right @Jake S
