Fall (2022)
Spectacularly Stupid!
Here is a movie that is spectacularly stupid from start to finish. A movie with a stupid plot, a stupid script depicting characters who demonstrate illogical and naive behaviours, who make unbelievably daft decisions, and have no problem solving abilities.
There is nothing remotely original on offer, you've seen it all before, including the clichéd plot twist near the end. I'm always amazed that film makers who churn out this sort of rubbish ever manage to raise the funding to do so; and wonder why anyone in their right mind would fund it.
I watched it because the rating was a reasonable 6.4. The fact that anyone rated this movie anywhere near 6.4 or above has completely destroyed my faith in the human race.
Burn Out (2017)
Very poor VIDEO GAME FOOTAGE used in opening sequence . . .
This looked like it was going to be an OK movie until 10 minutes, 10 seconds in; when we are served up a video game sequence for the on-track rider "try out" between the riders. Were we seriously not supposed to notice that this was not real footage?
I thought no, surely they wouldn't do that, I must be wrong, so I went back and managed to freeze frame just as the bikes were exiting the garage, and froze on the guy standing at the entrance/exit who was quite definitely a video game character.
Bad GCI is one thing, but how could one be expected to take the film seriously past this point?!
I turned off. Give me a break!
The Endless (2017)
Promises . . . . that are never delivered.
Hands down the dumbest movie I've seen in a year. How anyone can rate this at 8/10 is bewildering. From the "get go" you think that something intriguing, exciting, spooky, Sci-Fi is about to happen . . . . but it never does. Nothing is explained. You get bored watching the characters stare at trippy unexplained images that you presume are about to be explained . . . But they never are.
