Grease Nation

As far as a majority of the props and costumes, it was good, as to be expected with JJ. Now as far as storytelling and directing, it was horrible. I’m giving it 1 star for the fact that it’s a film. Don’t watch opening weekend, in fact, don’t see it for any sort of price.

The actual message isn’t bad but doesn’t belong in this kind of movie. The commentary could have fit in an entire movie about the chimp and it would have been at home. My personal gripes are the following: Pacing is constantly broke, Jupiter tries to tame a beast that resembles his past and he can’t see the futility, the shoe didn’t have to be in the movie, no character development, never felt afraid for the cast, the kids were the scary part, the fact it’s marketed as an alien film but is a monster movie, antagonist has incredible power but doesn’t rip open homes to eat or trick its prey, and the beast looks cheap and not like a functional life form of any kind. The antagonist could have been a more realistic jellyfish or a space ameba or even an ameba that camouflages itself as a cloud. BIG PROBLEM with the creature over all, humans made the idea of a UFO and it’s shape, why would it take that form being from another planet? It’s problematic. It’s more of a demon than a creature.

It was a very boring show. Lots of plot armor and cringy supporting characters. Mopeds.

Its very good. Online multiplayer is great, and the ships seem balanced. They really hit the nail on the head.

Nolan’s worst traits are highlighted in this film. His pacing was a little shaken and the characters all spoke the same dialogue wise. Speaking of characters, they all spoke as if they were just rehearsing the lines as fast as they could. Does that make sense? I don’t know if I’m alone when i say the line delivery was very robotic and rushed for a 3 hour movie. The aspect ratio, black and white, and full color choices seem very poor. I’m disappointed but the movie isn’t bad, it’s just middle of the road in my opinion.

This movie is a slow, boring, and painful watch. The beginning before the “jump” is 10x more interesting and fun than the entire movie. After the “jump” the movie takes a slow, slow decent into helplessness. It is Indy’s movie, but this is a poor excuse to film something. The dial had so much potential of sending Indy and his enemy into the past for the entire movie or skip around time and have fun, or make a meaningful tie in to the first movie but doesn’t. there is no fun here and some things are best left buried.
