Rules: explain why
Ready player one.
That has to be one of the cringiest movies I’ve seen, is tries so hard, too hard with it’s “WE LOVE YOU NERD, YOU’RE SO COOL FOR PLAYING GAMES AND GETTING THIS 80S REFERENCE” message and the whole “corporation bad, the people good” narrative seems written for toddlers… The fan service feels cheap and adds nothing to the story.
Finally, they trying to make the people believe that very attractive girl with a barely visible red tint spot on her face is “ugly”… Like wtf?
Yet it received decent reviews plus being one of the most successful movies of that year.
Interstellar. Slow, stupid and the ending. That fucking idiotic ending. I still regret the 3 hours of my life I lost to it.
I found it to be so unbelievable that I gave up pretty quickly. The narrative at the time was that the science of the film was so realistic and I saw so much that was factually incorrect that I couldn’t even focus on the film. I kept thinking, “that’s wrong”, pausing the film, getting out my phone to confirm it. I can’t remember any specifics any more, but it still bugs me when I see people saying that it’s scientifically sound
Personally I really enjoyed the world building. I’ve played enough Kerbal Space Program that I just assume any space movie/show is going to be factually wrong and just try to learn what the in-universe rules are and enjoy it
I saw it after tenet (I did a double feature) and tenet was better in my opinion. I loved TARS though!
