The Tomorrow War (2021)
One thing I just can't get over..
Acting was great, the concept was cool, the pace was fast and tense and exciting and honestly the cgi was so naturalistic and beautifully done, that I think the cgi alone makes this movie worth watching. BUT *spoilers ahead* I had so many issues with the basic logic in the plot. Once future Muri dies, basically nothing made any sense to me. Chris Pratt bringing the toxin back in time would erase future Muri's timeline regardless of what he did with the toxin so he was never going to be able to go back there. I had assumed the whole time that their plan was to bring the toxin back in time and then just kill the aliens with it when they showed up in Chris's timeline and then just solve the problem for humanity as a whole because of course Muri's timeline will never be saved because that's not how the writers decided time travel works. But of course, then Chris Pratt just kept telling us how he's going to go back to future muri and save those 500,000 people instead of the other 8 billion, or about how "he's running out of time" to stop the frozen aliens who we very well know aren't going to wake up for another 30 years, and god damn him just running in to their space ship blindly and trying to take them on with their small ragtag crew instead of spending some portion of their next 30 safe years planning how to deal with the aliens safely just was like wait what!! Stop! Bring more people at the very least! Everyone in the world was convinced that "people from the future came back and need help fighting aliens" but they're not going to believe that you found those aliens in a glacier??????????????? And I love how the toxin that was supposed to save humanity killed like 6 of the aliens in total, and they wound up just blowing the spaceship up instead.
Infinite (2021)
Bland, uninspired, boring, really missed the mark
So bad wtf mark wahlberg starts the movie by outright telling us the terribly plain struggle of good vs evil setting and then like a half hour later the uninteresting woman is explaining that exact same thing to him I do not get it. Why did you tell me that to begin with wouldn't it have been better if I'd learned about the world we were cast into alongside mark? I knew everything that would happen in this movie by the 2 minute mark??
I Care a Lot (2020)
A very depressing film about corporate greed
This movie makes you choose to take a Russian mobster's side and feel satisfaction at marla's entire life being torn apart for doing things that, yes, are unethical but certainly are not worse than things most of the top 0.01% have caused to happen to people across the world through their excessive greed except in marla's case she gets the early death she absolutely deserves. However the movie just made me feel anger and frankly I hated all of the characters they were all horrible people and that was certainly the point but it was just not enjoyable to watch so I can't give it more than 5/10.
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
Awful
This was the most formulaic and predictable plot line and the action wasn't even good just looks very mediocre for a 2020 movie like 2000s batman movies looked so much smoother and every monologue made me just angry at the characters the whole story was so stupid I don't know how I got through it
Greed (2019)
I wanted more
For the first hour of Greed, we get to know some believable, well-acted characters and tension slowly starts building in the back of your mind to a singular point when Amanda presses a button and releases the Lion.
For the 20-30 minutes leading to that moment, I knew something huge was going to happen but the scene that should have felt explosive and disturbing was treated softly and started to push its agenda in a way that took me out of the plot. I really enjoyed how they slowly led me to this moment of great tension but the climax fell a bit flat.
Tarantino would have done this concept justice.
The Last Days of American Crime (2020)
A real mess
I don't mean what happened in like an ooh I'm intrigued even though I don't understand the weird twist, there was no twist just action sequences with seemingly no motivation. The only enjoyable part for me was Michael Pitt's character. The relationship between whatshisface and whatsherface felt uncomfortable and forced. There may have been a story; I don't know and I don't care, what a mess.
