The Tomorrow War (2021)
Was this a parody?
This is the best worst movie I've ever seen.
SPOILERS-FREE:
The good: Great CGI, great action, good performances, entertaining, some interesting plot twists.
The bad: Most jokes are a miss. Clichés everywhere. Chris Pratt's hairdo and wardrobe. The script's plotholes were covered with play-doh.
Don't get me wrong. It was entertaining and good CGI. 90's vibe was so strong and there were so many cliches, at times it felt as a parody. At this point I am not sure if it was or not.
The falling heroin reaching out dramatically while falling to her death in slow motion, probably there are enought secenes like this to make a short compilation.
A slow motion body hitting a car which was completely unnecessary.
HERE COME THE SPOILERS
This is what I mean by play-doh:
- The wife's realization of the one thing that will let them find the aliens was just lazy writing.
- They needed a Volcano expert and the best they could do, with humanity's future at stake, was a high school volcano aficionado.
- The hero's father happened to be a government-hating airplanes pilot, just because one of such will be needed near the end.
- The toxin that they worked so hard to get killed like 5 of the aliens, the rest were just blown up, that was hilarious.
- After finding the alien ship, they couldn't wait a couple days to make a plan, or at least get enough people and toxins for all the aliens in the ship, instead of storming inside and killing half of them. Guess what happened with the other half? Maybe if they brought some proof, after people saw time travelers in the soccer world cup's final match, they probably wouldn't think they were crazy.
Not a waste of time, leave your brain at home and enjoy your popcorn.
Soul (2020)
Pixar's worst
This was a fun movie but way below Pixar's standards. If I didn't know better, I would have thought this was from a different studio. The art was beautiful, but I was left expecting that plot twist that would bring me to tears. I didn't connect with the main character, it could have been universally relatable, just like we are used to when it comes to Pixar. But it is more of a niche character, which is where I am guessing all the 10/10 reviews are coming from. Also, at times, the music felt like a soundtrack from a 60's sci-fi movie. Not a bad movie, but still Pixar's worst.
