tkaine3 Review of The Vast of Night

The Vast of Night (2019)

I really tried but super 😴 boring at best.

[4/10 · 29 May 2020]

4/10 🌠🌠🌠🌠 I know it's the 1950's but the whole concept of alien transmissions and secret government projects with soldiers becoming ill after performing certain tasks is outrageously outdated. Yes Sierra Mccormick if I spelled that wrong so be it I'm not a fan but I think she's super cute running around with bifocals wearing a plaid skirt and the dialogue tries it's best to be witty and upbeat with old small american town slightly chauvinistic lingo from 70 years ago but it's just not enough. Maybe they were going for some sort of eureka moment to happen on camera that would draw viewers in and make this film worth while but sadly for me it just didn't happen and I'm not sure what these high ratings are about maybe it's cast or crew but I haven't spoken to anyone who has given this film a thumbs up even teens have been harsh which is the demographic this film is aiming for. Sorry but this will be a hard pass on my recommendation and usually Amazon originals meet a certain entertainment criteria but they do have their duds slip through the cracks more than I'd like to admit.
