We all like the films of Kubrick, Cronenberg, Carpenter, De Palma, etc. What I didn’t see was any reason to like this film, other than the constant references to those film makers.
Great prosthetics, though.
Not enough action for the sparse story, not enough story for the sparse action. And why won’t the camera stay still for 10 fucking seconds?
Really really REALLY could’ve done without the gross (and terrible looking) Ian Holm digital resurrection. That shit sucks hard. Also didn’t need the pointless and awkward callback to “get away from her, you bitch,” (especially given Ridley hasn’t even said the line yet in the in-universe timeline).
But overall, great, fun return to the horror format of the original. Especially the abundance of practical effects after Prometheus and Covenant were really hampered by way too much bad CGI.
Good performances in general, but man, David Jonsson really killed.
Also, gimme those stompers.
It was her turn to pick the movie and she said, “I’ve been wanting to watch Trouble Every Day.”
About half way through: “ohh, this isn’t what I thought we were getting into…”
“What’d you think we were getting into?”
“Like, a horny romance.”
Hah, well, kinda, I guess…
Thanks, misleading Letterboxd synopsis. Probably would’ve been stuck watching something lame without you.
Edit: lol, Letterboxd has since updated the film synopsis. :(
