I wont lie, i spent most of these last 3 days writing proofs to bertrands box paradox, but i also had the time to watch 3 films, all bad.
Pacific rim the first one.
Bad. Why bad?
The film is divided in two, with the monster bashing being half, and while not horrible, its basically transformers underwater. I would give this 6/10, just like any action film with bad camerawork.
The second half is the acting and writing, which is flat out useless. About as moving as the presidents speech in Independence Day. 5/10
Which comes to 5.5/10
Then i watched Sphere, the 1997 scifi with dustin hoffman (!!!!), samuel motherfucking jackson, sharon stone.
I had forgotten how hot stone is.
The film is an insult to filmmaking and budgets. Everything about it was wrong. From the tone going all over thee place, body horror one minute, scooby doo the next, to a my little pony friendship is magic ending.
To the casting, with jackson being unbelievable as a 3-phd MIT math genius, then playing a silent alien for half the film.
And the horrid misuse of the sets, with me struggling to understand what a character is doing, on a hd screen.
To the camera work, to the plot holes, to the unrealistic events, and just the dumb, dumb story, that WANTS to be Event Horizon but ends up being a scary version of The Navigator.
4/10 no redemable qualities
Sharon stone didnt even show her cooch
And then i tried to stomach The Good Doctor
Brought to us by David Shore, previously producer for House MD.
Its the story of a quasi-House, who is a 25yo (looks younger) doctor. And obviously he has Aspergers, because Aspergers makes everything easier, including med school.
Badly shot, with some horrid Sherlock-inspired text-on-screen, badly acted by everyone (except the lead, who however is about as charismatic as a dead fish, and plays a totally unbelievable character), with far too much screen time given to the supporting. And lazily written, with Shore probably looking to make a quick buck.
5.5/10
