AMONG US is a suspenseful horror movie, based on RED, a crewmate, on a ship full of other crewmates, who are under attack by an imposter which would not hesitate to kill and do anything to take down the crewmates.
The lead peformance by Ninja (whom played red) is absolutely astounding, like when the doors were sabotaged, RED was seperated from Cyan (peformed by James Charles), Ninja really captured the true horror that he and his friend were disconnected from eachother, and that they may never see eachother again.
An emotional moment which stands out to me especially was when white was on cams looking for the imposter but then found pink's body in navigation
White and pink are an inseparable father son pair, Pink has been there for white his entire life, supporting him when he was struggling in school, helped him pay for his college fees, was there in hospital for him when he fell sick to cancer, these 2 have been through everything together and not only were they father son, they were best friends. And seeing the look on White's face when he found his father, pink dead in navigation, was a truly heartbreaking moment, and will go down as one of the most emotional moments in movie history
The imposter, orange (played by Mark Zuckerberg), was a character whom was written excellently. He was cunning, manipulative and acts great under pressure. His kill on yellow was extremely well planned, he took note that purple had to fix wiring in electrical, but he had to clear asteroids as well. The clear asteroids task is closer to the cafeteria (where the people would spawn in), therefore making it only logical to do that task before fixing wiring. Yellow had completed all their tasks but ones done in electrical, only making it logical to go down to electrical first. Black had tasks in O2, shields and electrical, which leaves electrical furthest away from the spawn, making it only logical to go to O2 and then shields. When discussion ended, after yellow went to electrical to do their tasks, orange would vent in and kill him, and then vented into comms, being careful that nobody would see him. He then regrouped with Black, his alibi in shields, orange knew that his next task was in electrical, so he would pretend he had one in electrical and would follow black. All while this was happening, purple had finished clearing asteroids and moved to electrical to do his task, yellow's body was in upper electrical and purples task was in lower electrical. This meant that purple wouldn't see and report the body. When orange and black went in electrical, they found purple in the room, and further into the room, they found yellow's corpse, framing purple as the imposter. This moment is easily one of the most iconic movie moments in cinematic history.
But lime (played by Dream) was extremely smart and intelligent. His detective skills are out of this world. He observed orange glancing into rooms, but from a distance, only somebody with imposter vision could see into rooms from such a distance.
This movie is full of one of the best special effects seen to date, nobody can tell they are watching a movie, instead of real life, and the soundtrack is very fitting and intense.
A small complaint I have is that when Green’s body was discovered, orange was acting way too sus, and nobody did anything and everybody skipped vote.
Overall this suspenseful movie is a masterpiece, full of unexpected plot twists and jumpscares, the story is written well, the casting is brilliant, these factors make AMONG US a must watch classic.
