Viking007:
All The Money In The World - 9/10

oyetpel:
Is it only me that didn't find Baby Driver and The hitman bodyguard extra thrilling?

I can't bring myself to watch this 2 movies again.

Ishilove:

It is very obvious.

I think we all had crushes on our teachers at one point in time or the other. I had a crush on my tall, chocolate skinned and gorgeous hunk of an Accounting teacher in SS2, and because of him endured one session of Accounts. However, the crush could not withstand the power of my hatred of all things mathematics, and so, in SS3 I quietly borrowed myself brain and dropped accounts. I cannor go and be scoring F9 in WAEC because of man.

Tango one 8/10

Are you for real?.... Hitmans Bodyguard boring?.….. I've watched that movie like 5 times, and anytime I watch it, i always feel like I haven't seen it before, I just can't get enough of it, its really fun, Samuel l Jackson finished work on that movie, guy I'm so surprised at your comments. That movie is so exciting, its money worth.

People are often wrong on this, but been a movie critic doesn't necessarily translate to negatively critiquing movies. Not at all. It's basically the act of evaluating a flick in a detailed way, both positives and negatives.



I haven't seen Hangman yet, but I understand where you're coming from apropos of Annihilation. Personally, I think it's a good sci-fi flick with thought-provoking concepts, striking visuals, and some good lead performances that was ultimately, marred by illogical turns of the plot. There are several plotholes

- It's is ridiculous that no expedition could have returned from the shimmer. Isn't it smarter to send a probe first, y'know, something or people to scout out the edges and report back? Even with the memory lapses, that would have been completely doable.
- Wouldn't it have been more logical to send people that are extensively trained and mentally prepared since they are aware of the possible psychological effect of the shimmer? Sending in those untrained women into an unknown is a terrible writing.
- Why not stick in a camera on a long pole and poke it through the shimmer assuming that the probe didn't work? Just stick it in as long as it can go and then pull it back. It's that simple.
- Then the white elephant in the room no one seem to be talking about? Why didn't they attempt to return the memory card and evidence from the past expedition. The best way to understand the shimmer to is gather as much information as possible, right? So why press on, when the most logical thing to have done should be to go back with the evidence, analyse the data, and decide the best possible way to tackle the shimmer.

The movie is a hot mess, overall. I liked it though.

Meklex:
... And when she gave her mirror image the hand grenade why didn't it follow her?

Good one. The alien basically mimicked her every move, but conveniently forgot to mimic giving the grenade back, or like you pointed out, follow her? Obviously, consistency isn't one the movie's strongest columns. The whole plot is ridiculous.

Ishilove:

The alien, at the point when the grenade was handed to it had become not just a mirror image, but a separate entity that could be given orders. Remember Kane's mirror image behind the camera? Kane instructed it to 'find Lena'. If all it could do was mimic, then it would have mimicked Kane's final moments, not just stand and watch as he 'self destructed'

Lena was fortunate that the mirror's transformation was complete at the very moment she gave it the grenade. Which is why it just stood and watched Lena run away.

I still maintain that the plot is very heavy and tight

The speed at which the fire was moving I was shocked, Francis ought to have been the first to die he will forever be haunted by the death of his colleagues.

oyetpel:


I didn't say boring, check my comment again.

CsRockefeller:

Ok, well you said not thrilling, which could also mean boring.

oyetpel:


Haha, who are you?

I wrote extra thrilling.

Guy, i beg. what naw!

They have sent 4 teams in 3 years. None has ever made it back. Once they entered the shimmer, they suffered memory lapses and became disoriented so scouring the edges was out of the question.

Ishilove:

Kane's team left the memory card behind in case they didn't make it back. Remember that they had already guessed that the shimmer was rearranging their DNA so death was a very strong possibility. Also don't forget that the camera that was used to video Kane's team at the Base was the same used at the Lighthouse, meaning there is a strong possibility that they had a backup.

Ishilove:
Explained

Ishilove:

I strongly disagree. The movie is very solidly woven and enjoyable. My only grouse is they didn't take some muscle to go with the women. Trained commandos or something. However, even Ventress admitted that it was a 'suicide mission' so maybe she didn't want to risk any more lives than necessary. Remember she told Lena that Kane was on 'self destruct mode' (paraphrasing)

I give the movie 7.5

Now you've made me give spoilers
