It’s a very basic movie. I gotta give it to the producers of the trailer who managed to showcase the best parts of the movie in good light. Overall though, the movie loses its steam in the first 25 mins, after that the pacing falters drastically and you’re left with a lot of filler that is paired with some mediocre writing. The major turnoff came on towards the end when the movie blatantly ripped off Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The actors did their best trying to elevate this snoozefest, but there’s only so much you can do when you’re served a mediocre script. It’s a movie to watch with your grandparents.
This was an absolutely, insanely lame sequel. It starts off very strongly, but about 30 mins into the movie, its quality drops so much that it turns into a completely different movie. The writing is insufferable in its laziness. It was almost painful to watch a bunch of good actors trying hard to fight with the bad directing, writing, and editing. It’s hands down one of the worst sequels I’ve ever seen.
Another tonal mess from Ari. The film starts off strong as a satire, but halfway through it turns into a different movie. The previous one, Beau is Afraid, from the same director had the exact same issue.
Not a single redeemable quality in this so-called movie. It’s utter garbage. The music is heinous, performances are all wooden and flat. It’s all directed as if it was a high-school theater production. Basically, one big, boring caricature of the original.
Somewhere along the development process they had an interesting movie, but it ended up being so overproduced that it basically turned into a parody. The tonal inconsistencies are so jarring that it basically kills any attempt at having decent pacing in this movie. The logic does not exist in this movie either. I thought there was no way to make a worse movie than the second one, but, unfortunately, this movie overall is worse than 28 Weeks Later.
A complete misfire and a huge disappointment! For the very first time I did not enjoy a movie from this director: the pacing was completely off and tonally it was all over the place. This movie did not know what it wanted to be.
I thought the fan-service callbacks were the weakest points of this movie, as most of those lines didn’t really land well. On the other hand, the original ideas were the best parts of it. The production design is top-notch, which, unfortunately, has been marred by the subpar digital recreation of one of the synthetics/robots. Overall, I think, it’s a solid entry that I would place above The Covenant and maybe even Prometheus (even though the latter is a much bigger movie for better or worse).
I can’t wrap my head around how much worse it was compared to the previous movies. Almost nothing landed in this movie and the pacing was outrageously bad. Most jokes were just straight out flat and the fight scenes felt rather perfunctory than entertaining. Hugh did a good job acting wise, but it couldn’t save this disjointed mess.
Overmarketed dumpster fire. It starts off strongly as a thriller but halfway through turns into a parody. It’s filled with a myriad of cliches, from The Silence of the Lambs to Annabelle. Nothing lands in this movie and it mostly comes off as an experimental student project.
