Review of Nope

Nope (2022)
4/10
Yep
28 August 2022
Just imagine describing the chain of events of this sci-fi horror parody mystery satirical comedy western drama to your friends. Just try to catch the moment when your friends realize you're playing a joke on them, making up incoherent nonsense.

This exercise of mindless self-indulgence lasts for two hours and consists of rather incoherent scenes of different genres all mixed up and loosely connected. Everything is all over the place. This approach was surely intentional and thus indicates either an egocentric approach and admiration for one's talents or an attempt to revolutionize the genre simply by piecing together all the genres.

To be absolutely fair, the film was interesting for about 30 minutes, when it tried building up something. Some decent scenes snuck in, and it almost felt like it was going to be interesting. But then a CGI monkey edited itself into the film, and everything went downhill.

If they had focused on building up the mystery with the good scenes, it could've ended up being cool. Instead, they tried to make every next scene more bizarre than the previous, nothing more.

4/10 for some good ideas and scenes.
