I've gotten a little behind on my reviews.
Terminator Salvation 👍👎
Terminators 1 through 3 were all better than the Christian Bale version. Not because of Christian Bale, of course, he was perfectly acceptable in the film, but because the film was written badly.
In one of the first scenes in the film the resistance goes into a Skynet-built facility. I'm immediately wondering what a building built by robots for robots would look like. Surely it would be entirely function over style. I wondered whether the resistance guys would have trouble getting in since there would obviously be no doors or stairs (maybe even something to help prevent humans like having to go in through a slippery tube that dropped 20 feet through poison gas... and no lights). I wondered whether the floors in the buildling would be 2 feet tall, or 20... surely whatever size the machines chose it would not be the same height as buildings design for humans. Little did I expect that the writers wouldn't think of this at all, and I would be treated to resistance members opening a door (with a handle for... hands) and walking down some stairs with a railing.
This sort of problem existed in every facet of the movie. Whether it was plot or showy special effects, the machines never behaved in a way that was believable. Almost none of the machine models were believable and their weaknesses were similarly ridiculous.
Also, one of the things I remember from Terminator 1 was just how scary the concept of an indestructible machine that was bent on killing you actually was. The machine could take bullets, it could get hit by cars, it could be torched, but it would keep coming. And if it laid one hand on you, you were dead - because it would never let go. If it got your foot you'd better cut that foot off, because it would simply pull you in by it with its insane robo-grip until it could reach you with its other hand and twist your neck. The perfect killing machine that recognized how vulnerable you were and how invulnerable it was and used tactics accordingly.
This layer of terror was instantly lifted the moment the movie started as we're treated to a skeletal terminator who is missing his legs. He gets ahold of Connor and what does he do? Does he grip Connor with a vengance, reel him in, and shove some fingers through is eyes and into his brain? No. Does he snap Connor's neck? No. He throws Connor against a wall. That's right, a machine missing its legs decided that the best way to kill its enemy was to toss him safely out of range. That kind of nonsense absolutely destroys all of the fear built up by the first terminator movie. It makes the machines stupid - and when they're stupid, they're much less scary. This wasn't a one-time deal either. Machines were constantly picking up Connor and tossing him safely into a wall. Why they would ever let go once they got ahold of him I don't know.
Lack of thought killed the movie.
Air America 👍👎
Mel Gibson and RDJ team up in this 'Nam movie as pilots flying supplies for a war that politically didn't exist. Good concept for a movie but poor execution. the movie had no discernible plot and very little tension at any point. I was never concerned for RDJ, Gibson... or anyone really. It's kinda hard to identify with anyone, and you don't really understand why they're there, or where they're going. It's a tough movie to really get invested in. There were good moments in the film, some very funny stuff too, but overall it was very blah.
Superbad 👍👍
I've seen this one once before. The wife wanted to watch it again, and for some inexplicable reason I actually wasn't enthusiastic about it. I have no idea why, because this is a fantastically funny movie. The two guys featured on the poster, young as they are, are absolute masters of their craft. Nobody does awkward-but-funny quite the way Michale Cera (right) does. And Jonah Hill (left) has a fantastic self-loathing humor. These two guys are excellent at what they do (as is writer Seth Rogen), and I expect to see much much more of them. Perfect pairing for the movie, and just insanely funny all the way through.
Zombieland 👍👍
Lots of fun. Doesn't take itself particularly seriously, but is just serious enough to string together a plot - even if not a particularly realistic plot. It's a really straight forward movie about killing zombies while attempting to stay sane in a post-apocalyptic world. Not necessarily the greatest movie ever, but very solid. I doubt many people will buy it, or even watch it many times, but I also doubt many people were upset that they saw it once.
Surrogates 👍👎
By now I assume we all know what this movie is about (robots operated remotely by "jacked-in" people for living through). It's a neat movie idea, but the plot isn't especially compelling. It's also not written quite as creatively as I would have expected. I had a few Terminator Salvation moments during this film - like when I asked "Why are they sitting? How are their feet tired? Why are there any chairs anywhere?" "And why do they need a car? Can't they just walk or run or jump to work? Or... bare minimum, hop on a motorcycle." Lots of things didn't quite add up.
The movie worked on some level. It was fun to see them go through the paces and deal with some of the inevitable problems behind surrogacy - especially the concept of being able to change yourself so drastically. But overall I wasn't particularly impressed and don't have any desire to re-watch. It's not a waste of time, but it's not high quality either.
I won't spoil the story for those who either haven't watched it, or haven't figured it out yet. Suffice it to say, not everything is as it seems. If you like films that are a bit different, and make you use that big squishy pink thing between your ears, give it a shot. Otherwise, steer clear...
And that David Lynch-pervertedness in the film, I was still in fourth grade or something, it went right passed over my head. I definitely appreciated more the second time I saw it, I think it might have been just couple of years ago? And I think Chris is right on the film not aging that well. At least either on SFX, or cinematography, I think I got similar impression of the film. I still like it!
