Purely Joyful Movie!
... View MoreIt's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
... View MoreI gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
... View MoreGood films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
... View MoreI'm not into the Cloverfield franchise, so maybe i could be missing some stuff. However that doesn't excuse this movie. Not only is very confusing for its "plot" and "themes" neither of them become well established or executed.The movie also has a tonal & genre dissonance, it doesn´t know what it wants to be, a horror, Sci-fi, fantasy, thriller or what ever, I know nowadays movies tend to be mixed towards genre but this is ridiculous. The acting is some of the worse i've seen, we already don't have characters but tokens and pawns for lazy screenwriters, but the line reads go from cringy to absolute atrocious.The main lead actress has the same expression for pretty much the whole movie, some weird thing happens and she continues with her mopey face. The rest of the cast continues the same way.But the worst aspect is definitely the pretentious philosophical elements in the film, they come out of nowever and are used in a contrived way to expand the time of the movie.Boring, stupid and just plain silly. Thank god this a streaming film and no one has to pay to see it in the big screen.
... View MoreI'm surprised it took those long. A little prayer doesn't hurt. That is not what I expected. Ready a weapon at least. "People from Kansas" :)This is not gonna be good. That is cool caulk. "My arm helped us find the Earth" :)
... View MorePossibly employing the best marketing technique ever, announcing and releasing the film on the very same day to everyone's surprise, my excitement naturally exceeded my expectation. But then I read it: "no cinematic release". Immediately, I quivered in fear. Did the producers wander if this sci-fi thriller was not good enough for a theatrical release? They must've done, because guess what? It's. An. Absolute. Disaster. A group of astronauts attempt to solve Earth's energy crisis by using a particle accelerator on their space station, only to find themselves teleported to an alternate parallel dimension. My dissatisfaction for this tangled paradoxical mess knows no bounds. No suspense. No thrills. No engaging characters. Nothing. Aside from the pleasing visual effects, Mbatha-Raw's performance and the presence of Zhang Ziyi, who still remains underappreciated to this very day, the struggle to find enjoyment in this was real. Writer Uziel seemingly takes the sci-fi genre and decides to test the boundaries of illogicality. Never mix complication with fallaciousness. This results in the vast majority of the screenplay consisting of explanations in an attempt to form some sense of scientific reasoning, leaving no space for character development. In actual fact, these explanations are powered by various plot conveniences that still make no sense. The characters can shout out terms like "quantum entanglement" to explain the merging of dimensions, but the lack of conviction results in stupidity. The boring plot, pointless sub-plot and wooden characters are so thinly written that the air in space is thicker (hint: there is no air in space). O'Dowd's comedic relief was not wanted. Ortiz deserved more screentime. Ziyi decimated the competition. JJ Abrams should be embarrassed with this. I want 102 minutes back. Lazy, just stupendously lazy. This simply exists as a tenuous link to the 'Cloverfield' franchise. Except, the mystery has now been tainted. A colossal dimensional disappointment.
... View MoreDoesn't have enough coherent plot to warrant the time wasted. Summary complete. There's plenty of decent movies to occupy your time! Shame as the cast has potential, just... where was the plot?!
