Mercy

The film is amusing, occasionally clever, and perfectly serviceable as a distraction, but it never quite becomes the reinvention of the action film it seems to think it is.

Whatever the A.I. judge’s verdict, this human one says to wait for streaming.

The work of everyone involved — from the sleepy performances to the crew doing an okay but never exemplary job — suggests a first draft, a sense of wanting to get the thing out and move on. At every minute of “Mercy,” you can practically hear the filmmakers saying: “Eh, it’s January. Good enough."

For all that flash and bash, it does feel as if we spend a lot of time staring at Chris Pratt looking worried and a Rebecca Ferguson increasingly bored of sounding increasingly boring. Too much dialogue plays like a conversation with an automated phone service only marginally more animated than the one that fails to direct you to customer services.

It’s rare that a work of science fiction offers a grim vision of the future, then asks us to learn to love it.

None of this is visually compelling, and “Mercy” plays like it was written as an AI system’s prompt response.

Seriously, audiences do not need another constant reminder that their lives are slipping away. Just watching Mercy will have them reconsidering their priorities.

Ain’t as bad as I thought it’d be. Still watchable, and always a real treat seein Rebecca Ferguson, she sure is easy on the eyes.

Another interesting concept show, before I start, I just want to say I'm shocked to see the rating of this show being this low; I get why they feel that way but honestly, I enjoy this show. The way I rate things is not to compare and rate them as they are, because each movie is different even if it has the same recipe. To start, the CGI in this show is amazing because it's smooth and makes sense. The shot in this movie is amazing and realistic. The designs of the UI, chair, and building are nice. In my opinion the acting is okay, not that great. Now for the part where it's a bit rough, the setup of him sitting in his chair most of the movie is not bad, but it is kind of lazy. I get it, it's the concept of the show. The last part where he gets out of the chair is also all right. The AI is a bit confusing, you don't really understand her character and you feel like she broke from the program for the sake of plot progression. The plot twist is a good addition, but it is kind of random because it doesn't really build you up to it, they just decide to plot dump and you just need to accept it. Overall I like interesting concept shows, and I enjoy them.

My favorite part was when Chris Pratt casually says that every day he regrets not using police brutality. Seen through a mystery pre-screening via AMC Screen Unseen.

太捞了。 难受的是被绑在椅子上100分钟不能动的克里斯帕拉特吗？不是，真正难受的是被绑在电影院椅子上的观众。 得亏是在电脑上看的，都不敢想我要是花50去IMAX看个这得多难受。 Amazon MGM现在真就是只会拍网大了，我看下个月的《洛杉矶劫案》和《挽救计划》也得先看评分再决定要不要去影院了。
