Review of Jexi

Jexi (2019)
5/10
Not as terrible as the 1/10 reviews make it out as
24 December 2019
I loathe the newish trend of reviewers giving anything they didn't enjoy with a 1/10 rating. It's making IMDb ratings less and less meaningful I think, and less reliable.

But anyways, when I finished watching this I wasn't sure whether I enjoyed it or not (a strange feeling). I think it wasn't a complete trainwreck, and the actors did as much as they could with a weak script. The direction and technical aspects were fine for a low-budget comedy.

The voice of the OS definitely got nerve-gratingly annoying very quickly, which was a big distraction. There was no comedic timing, and it sounded very dated, like the voice of the computer on the original Star Trek series. But, again, this wasn't the worst movie ever made. I got a few very genuine laughs watching this (a very few laughs, but still). At worst this is a nice meaningless & mindless piece of fluff that doesn't ask much investment of the viewer, or give a whole lot back in return, but I don't feel like I wasted any big part of my life watching it.
