I really want to like him but I have to agree. He’s very mediocre

Too bad it's flopping we saw it tonight and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I think some aspects of the story could have been fleshed out more but the visuals were good and the worldbuilding was cool. The visuals actually looked better than a lot of higher budget movies. The acting was just ok. John David Washington was decent in the role but some of the other actors were kinda meh.
Overall a decent little movie though.

I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt after Tenet..but this confirmed his mediocrity

I want to see this this weekend but I'm busy the whole weekend. Hope it makes bank. It's important that it does.

I got concepts of a plan.
They say it’s an 80M movie and shot on location.
Not all tentpoles have to be 200M+. I like the concept, don’t like the actor, but might do it for the genre. Worst come to worst, I can take a two hour nap.

I’ll come back to post thoughts later but the kid was really good despite writing being mid

The world building was nicely done and the VFX team should be commended for their efforts working with a small budget. Unfortunately the story is generic and the forced humor brings down the overall product. When the movie takes itself more seriously it is an above average affair. Not horrible by any means but a letdown given the pre-release hype.

The kid didn’t do anything for me tbh. Never felt emotional invested in her or the AIs

Gemma Chan does something for me tho. No surprise JDW was in his bag when she was on screen with him lol
Sensitive Christian Grey
The Fisher King
Disagree. I didn't see particular chemistry between them two. She didn't have it with Robb Stark in Eternals either so maybe she just needs to avoid romantic roles lol.
Writing wise you already know - this ain't no T2 or 2049. It feels like they had the stoic protector with child premise in mind, then had the AI are as valuable as people angle inserted to make it hip. It really needed some rewrites to be affecting and poignant, cos the voice aint matching the outfit
"What do you want for lunch?" "For robots to be free."
And why do robots eat lunch?Man the fact this is an action flick but I fell asleep compared to Oppenheimer
I had to learn that Alfie was a clone of Josh's unborn child from the net.I can see myself giving this another chance on D+ if free and to see if it could hold up in some capacity, but man is it really hard to do original SF without Nolan? Like the last non-Nolan flick that had merit was Ad Astra IMO and even that flopped, while horror's been killing it for a decade now
Also I wonder how many people recognised Child in Time when they broke out the garage

Haven't watched it, but you mention world building. Is it done with the intention of making it a series?
Not sure, it’s not fleshed out a lot in the film so if they wanted to do a show I could see that being possible.

If the movie starred Matt Damon (Elysium) or Tom Cruise it wouldn’t have flopped. :Francis:

I meant moreso more movies. The Creator "universe" or something like that. I should see if this was based off of source material or actually an original idea
