Really awesome to see Joel Haver in this one! :scream: Thought it was going to be a short cameo but he really delivered in his major role!
Never thought I’d cry over a vacuum but here we are
The Void is influenced a lot by other horror films. I would say that comparisons with John Carpenter's The Thing are probably the most obvious but it does eventually establish a different identity in the ending. The character development is there and the practical effects are some of the best I've seen in recent memory. The Void just leaves a little too much to the imagination. I wish it could've taken some more time to explain what was going on. I do recommend this movie to horror fans but it won't be horror movie of the year.
Interesting for Lovecraft and Gore fans. Good art direction, great atmosphere. The plot is half baked, but it's also innovative in it's ways. Good for the right audience.
I enjoyed this movie. If you were faced with choices what would you do? ⁉Well worth a watch.
I must admit I did enjoy this movie. :)
This movie isn’t perfect but it is underrated. There are plot holes, the story is futuristic, even ridiculous but I liked it and that’s that!
What a weird, incoherent movie that was. Starts off great with great characters and a sense of mystery, devolves into a pseudo-Lynchian laboratory affair, and ends with a poor man's X-Men ripoff. Pacing is all over the place, story makes no sense, the twists (Area 51 and NOMAD/Damon) were dumb as hell.
Ending was kind of cool but felt out of a different movie altogether.
Absolutely unoriginal and boring. Incredible special effects.
None of the new characters have enough time or backstory for us to care about them, but they're also not throw away characters - the writers seemed to think we would be too triggered if a single good guy died. In fact, nobody died the entire movie - 100% of the enemies are bots. There aren't even meaningful interactions with agents outside of the ones Neo simulates.
The entire thing was just a big callback to what they did in the original trilogy. Lots of allusion and direct rips. All with killer special effects, but no substance. They think they're being meta and hip by acknowledging it, but that doesn't make it better; their horrible post credits scene about "just needing to elicit an emotional response" and "uploading the catrix" makes it a lot worse.
Nothing in the movie has any deeper meaning. There are zero stakes. The new human city isn't at risk. The Matrix isn't at risk. Literally the entire movie is about Neo and Trinity needing to wake up and get out of the Matrix - if they don't, they will continue living, just inside the Matrix.
None of Smith's motives were clear. He went from being a very strong and interesting character in the original trilogy to a very weak and aimless character here.
Cheapening the power of the One is really detrimental to the film. The Analyst's idea that "Neo was nothing special by himself, he needed Trinity" is ridiculous. It's rather as the Architect said "Neo's attachment to humanity was very intimate." He was still the One with or without Trinity, and his powers were unique to that position. So the idea that the machines can somehow use Neo and Trinity to enhance power generation of the Matrix by keeping them close is both fundamentally flawed on top of being ridiculous. And then letting Trinity be the one to fly them out of danger at the end just steals everything from Neo.
Despite everyone assuring Neo that his fight mattered, it seems that the world is almost identical to where it was at the start of the original Matrix movie. The Matrix is a prison. The humans are hiding in a city to keep back the hostile machines. It doesn't seem like they're freeing many minds. The only difference is that now some machines are on their side - something that's never really explained. This new alliance has yielded the incredible result of.. fruit. Neo's entire fight gave humanity fruit. That's it.
The Analyst and the machines seemed incompetent and weak. The machine on machine violence was very interesting and could have been instrumental in explaining the resurgence in war and restoration of the Matrix as a prison - so naturally it was only mentioned once offhand.
The world wasn't setup clearly or interestingly in a way to support a story existing within it. There is no substance, no stakes, and no point.
Overall it's a huge disappointment. The fact that the Reloaded and Revolutions were better movies that were more coherent and added more substance to the universe is testament to the extreme failure of this move.
Very strange movie. Strange alien interaction. I found it started off ok but got really weird and I found it difficult to understand truly what the aliens wanted from her. The end was kinda weird and I was left feeling mixed emotions.
The season 3 should be a spin off.
We gave it 18 minutes... 18 very long, very painful minutes. It's disjointed, has no direction and isn't the remotest bit funny - it's supposed to be a comedy - somebody missed the memo. The characters are completely uninteresting too.
1/10
The promotional tie-ins were painful. I’m looking primarily at you Lexus and Kaspersky. To call it a plot is charitable. If you want to see a disaster, this is your movie.
Not a good episode. What happened with the hit and run? Was it a warewolf and it bit her? Strange and quite frankly - boring.
Starts well but by episode 3 its over complicated and dragging, episode 4 it gets really boring and I dont care anymore. Pity really as its from such a good book.
