Good movie but grossly overrated
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
I've been concentrating on this movie, thinking it's some sort of Nostrodamas prediction sci-do movie. But what it really is, is a confusing, poorly executed movie. I can see they've tried to make it one of those films that "you just don't understand!" And maybe they're right, I have absolutely no idea what the storyline even is! It's just snippets of weirdness. Guy (don't remember his name it's that bad) starts seeing patterns in his daily life which all trace back to a multiple murder in grand central 30 years ago, and it's all due to happen again, for some unknown reason. It's a try-hard movie that doesn't even pull off a "well, that was quirky, interesting connections, but no, it's just unrelated, weird toss. I wouldn't waste the 95 minuets it demands from you. The effort to enjoyment ratio is so far off! If anyone can find heart in this movie, or even a point, then please let me know what it is, because I just feel like I've been slapped in the face and spat on! AVOID, AVOID, AVOID! If there was a zero star rating, this pile of horse dump wouldn't even have earned that
As one who has studied ATC and who has family who are real-world ATC, let me point out to all viewers of the movie that the ATC sequences are completely ridiculous. If real-world controllers acted as depicted in this movie, they would be out of a job immediately.
I truly enjoyed the movie! I had no idea about the theme of the movie before watching it and had not seen the trailer, so I watched it with zero expectation. But I was pleasantly surprised and it was really enjoyable! Although there are some parts where it went a little too slow at the beginning, but towards the end the parts add up and kept me engaged with the storyline. The actors and actress did a good job, and I really liked the cinematography. I have nothing to complain about this one and was actually expecting a higher rating on IMDb! I do not understand why it got many critical reviews. Perhaps it helped that I did not watch the trailer first that might lead me to have high expectation? If you are like me and just want to enjoy a good movie, go watch!
This is a good example of "How not to execute a high-concept sci-fi/fantasy premise". An air traffic controller (played by Daario Naharis from Game of Thrones) starts having visions and notices weird patterns in his daily routine, with the implication of some impending tragedy taking place at 2:22 and involving both him and his new girlfriend (redeemingly pretty Teresa Palmer).See, in movies where the plot hinges on some kind of premonitions, you need to ESTABLISH CLEAR SIMPLE RULES - like in Minority Report, Groundhog Day, Source Code, The Dead Zone, Déjà Vu, It Happened Tomorrow, etc. Not necessarily explanations. But rules. We need to know early in the story how the hero's powers work, how he can take advantage of them, what their limits are. THEN you can put a spin on those rules - but you need to establish them first. If it's all too vague, then anything goes and tension becomes tedium. Here the story turns out to involve, I kid you not, the explosion of a far-away star, the protagonists' astrological sign and reincarnation. It's too much; the movie drags. Pity, because an initial scene involving a potential plane crash was fairly tense.4,5/10
