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.
Oppenheimer.
It’s probably an interesting movie, but holy shit each shot is less than 3 seconds long and it just cuts around to different camera angles every 3 seconds for 2 hours…
Not only was this making me feel physically sick and disoriented, but this erodes tension in the film and is completely unnecessary. You don’t need 14 shots of someone walking down a damn hallway or having a think, you need one (1).
Take all that shit out and you’re probably left with a story worth actually telling.
I agree with this. I went to see it with my dad and girlfriend. Brighter than a 1000 suns is a phenomenal book about the entire project and both my dad and I were excited to see it
The science and history were poorly handled and the movie did not need to be 3 hours long. Could have been an easy 1:45 and it would have hit the plots
Hear hear. And the explosion was so fucking lame. Like why was the soot in the flames? We know what a plasma looks like. Heck, we even know exactly how that very bomb looked like when it exploded (cf. picture attached). It could have been an otherworldly experience akin to the well researched and well simulated black hole in Interstellar…
But no. We got gasoline. On fire. In an otherwise dizziness inducing and plain boring movie.
Edit. Looks like in struggling to attache a screen cap so I’ll leave it as an exercise to the reader to googelidoodeli “atomic bomb plasma”
It’s a lazy way to cover up problems.
AKA the Jason Bourne school of editing.
