Pacific Rim:Uprising Movie Review

-

Huge fan of the first one, and could not wait to get stoned to see second. Hopefully, it's good.

Pacific Rim Uprising is the sequel to the 2013 film by Del Toro, but now being directed by Steven DeKnight and starring John Boyega as the son Idris Elba's character forgot. I was quite looking forward to this film asIi was a huge fan of the first film, but had my doubts about it since it was basically a whole new team behind this one.

Story

Okay so if you’re going into this film looking for a compelling story, you came in with the wrong expectation for one and you will blow your high going to see this film. I laughed at parts of the story in here that was just stupid. But honestly i wasn’t expecting a great story from this film to begin with i came solely for the giant robots fights, and that they did well. the film wasted no time getting into the fighting and they managed to pull it off for me. Another thing that didn’t work for me was the ending it just ended so abruptly, like dang it was that simple to win okay. And the stinger at the end reminds me so much of Independence Day 2. 

Characters 

For the most part, they just tried to cram most of the characters in here and give them no character development to the point where some chargers really didn’t care. John Boyega's character, however, is one of the few likable characters in the film. Boyega is a very charismatic actor and it pretty much shows through his character in the movie, although he did talk about how pretty he is often, don't know about all that.But a character that was memorable for me in a bad way would be Charlie Day's Character.The twist that his character takes, he couldn't pull it off. now the twist makes sense and you would expect them to do something like that, but it could have been done better than that. 

Visuals 

This was the biggest thing I was worried about going into this film. The last one mostly took place at night so it could hide the bad cgi if needed, but this film had most of the scenes during the day and would have to say it held up pretty well. Were there some bad scenes? sure but all in all it lived up to the expectations i had for it. The robots didn't look too cartoony, nor the monster( PS they really only show up near the end.

Worth the wait 

Overall, I am happy with what I got from this film. Was there flaws in the film? of course but I was not expecting this film to be a contender for the Oscars. It was a stupid, fun, action-filled movie and I would give it a 3.5 out of 5 Joints. the story issues kinda make it harder for me to give it higher, but it wont blow your high.Hopefully, the sequel will knock it out the park(trust me this is getting a sequel after it opens overseas.

Cargo (2018) - Netflix Movie Review

-

"Netflix decided they might as well try their luck in the zombie movie franchise, and it might have worked" Cargo is the newest Netflix original movie directed by Ben Howling and Yolanda Ramke and stars Martin Freeman as a man who is trying to survive a zombie apocalypse, until one day he is bitten and now has 48 hours to find a safe place for his young daughter before he turns into a zombie himself. The film takes an interesting and personal approach to the zombie apocalypse not really focusing on the zombies, but on martin freeman's character and his quest to find a safe place for his daughter. The premise sounds interesting enough, but could these directors make a fresh post-apocalyptic movie, or is this just another generic zombie movie that we will forget about? Well, let's see as I will give you all the highs and all the downers and overall tell you whether or not this movie is worth blazing and turning on Netflix for. Highs  Enter...

Overboard - Movie Review

"A remake of a movie that no one wanted, this should be good." Overboard directed by Gary Marshall stars Kurt Russell and..oh wait, sorry that's the wrong one. Overboard directed by Rob Greenberg stars Anna Faris and Eugenio Derbez and is a remake of the 1987 film that starred Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. The original movie focuses on a rich spoiled asshole heiress who goes overboard and gets amnesia and is tricked by Russell's character into believing she is his wife as repayment for her being an asshole to him. The remake follows a pretty similar story, almost beat for beat, but this time decided to switch the roles of course, or else it wouldn't be original. No one was really calling for this remake, hell not a lot of people even liked the original. So I was not looking forward to this movie. But could this movie surprise me and maybe even be better than the original or should this remake be thrown overboard? Highs Cas...

Adrift (2018)- Movie Review

"An inspiring true story of a woman lost at sea being brought to the big screen, well the sea could have kept this story" Adrift is directed by Baltasar Kormakur and loosely follows the real-life survival story of Tami Oldham, played by Shailene Woodley, and her lover Richard Sharp, played by Sam Claflin,  as they try to survive while stranded at sea after being hit by a massive storm. It was inevitable that Hollywood would turn this interesting story of survival into a movie, but just cause her true story was interesting doesn't mean they could make a movie that would be the same.  Did Kormakur manage to turn Tami's story of survival at sea into a worth wild film, or should Hollywood have just left this idea adrift at sea? Well, that's what you got me for to tell you all the highs and all the downers that I got from this film and let you know whether this film is worth a hit or a pass that might just blow your movie-goi...
