it's a messy movie. The idea was a good one, but with a lower budget feel there seems to be a lot of ragged edges when it comes to what we expect from a good film. It's something to watch, but it's more filler than a don't-miss-film. Too bad. Mila is still a good actress, but she has been accepting roles in some really questionable films lately.
It's a syrupy romcom for married couples looking for a date-night flick. If that's you, then you will enjoy it. It really was an OK watch. Not a "10" by any stretch of the imagination, but definitely a strong 6. Break out the popcorn and fuzzy slippers.
With all the really stupidly unnecessary musicals lately, it was surprising that ballet was such an enjoyable watch. Ballet ala John Wick, that is. Maddie Ziegler excelled showing her dark side.
Sure, kind of a propaganda movie... I mean, face it: just a shitload of soldiers wiped out doing the impossible, and the one survivor is rewarded. But as a Sci-Fi flick, it works. Unstoppable force meets human perseverance and ingenuity. Some parts as stupid as when he was in the TV show "Blood Drive", but that's entertainment.
The story is fun, the surprises many, and Margaret Qualley excels. Face it: this may be the wildest date night movie ever... but it works. Romance, murder. and all that shit. :) --- @campbellryan739 - Thanks for the tip. I have that and I'll give it a watch, but 8 Alex Guiness' ... I don't know about that gimmick.
I'm watching it because I thought that something that had Michelle Pfeiffer involved would be good. But instead, it's a heavy drama that has taken Taylor Sheridan idiosyncrasies and went way over the top with them: City people bad. All city people morals and values bad, bad, bad. City women strong so city men weak. Only heartland Montana people good. Especially cowboys. And horses. Especially women on horses. Only open vacant land is America. And people with money bad because it is not Montana, even if they spend their money in Montana because it is city money. (Face it, ALL city people are not bad, nor are all Montana people good.) Sady, Michelle P is overacting and having a breakdown and acting like a jerk several times per episode because the script tells her that she must. Low 5, more like a 4.
@m.terpstra5 - I agree. I deleted the first season, and when my RSS feed told me that s02e01 was available, I deleted that RSS link. Sadly, this is a rare Marvel miss.
As a Scream flick it works. Of course, there is ALWAYS people making bad choices in these films. That is absolutely a requirement. 30 years after the first film... and Courtney Cox is looking real rough.
Nice little apocalyptic flick. As often in these films: People under pressure making bad decisions. You'll enjoy it if you like the zombie genre... plenty of drama for the folks that want that sort of thing. The flaw was that they seemed to push the Young Adult (YA) thing too much, but then again, that is likely the folks that will be going to theaters to watch this.
