Eleven Eleven (2018)
7/10
It's fine and fun
1 February 2020
I don't get why all the reviews are either 10/10 or 1/10.

It's a fun movie that starts with a fun concept, ends with a fun post-credits rolls, and in between, everything is just mindless fun. Silly, for sure, but still fun!

I'm normally a hard-SF fan but this movie actually addresses that ("i use words that earthlings can relate to, you know?") and keeps being silly after absolutely disarming my SF nit-picking inside critic. It was a super nice touch and it should work on anyone who likes silly comedy, even if he's into astronomy and astrophysics, like myself. It just disarms your ego and lets you have fun all the way, I really appreciate that!

Oh, and the actors' chemistry was absolutely on point. It's a stupid comedy, remember, but everything made sense, everyone acts cold when they're supposed to be cold, and ummm... hot when they're hot? The point is: they do act perfectly to the movie's tone (which is SILLY!) How can anyone say the acting is terrible is a mystery to me.

Oh yeah, the CGI is objectively crap, but it works fine in the canvas of a silly movie, "3rd rock from the Sun" style. If you liked that show, this movie won't have trouble providing you wit joy. You won't laugh out loud, but you will be entertained, that's the whole point, "gosh-darnit"!
