>Have more things that I intend to watch and add onto this post later. But these movies made me stop preemptively.

[u]''Reviews'' for...[/u]
[b]Sunshine[/b]: I imagine the high praise for this movie comes from the critics that obsess over cinematography. (Since this movie is style over substance in every way.) The plot and pacing of this movie is a clusterfuck. And I think this movie tried to make the characters seem human by making them all disastrous fuck ups. But for a mission to save the planet, you’d think they’d pick less stupid, reckless, irrational and more empathetic individuals? (Apparently both the writer and director are pretentious as hell though. And that comes across in the movie they made.) So, yeah sure, the last third might’ve been the worst part of it. (And it only gets worse and worse as it goes on.) But the nonsense writing is apparent from the start.

[b]Nope[/b]: It has a literal “and then everyone clapped” scene within the first ten minutes. As if I needed such a transparent sign of how the writing will be for the rest of the film. And “What was the point…fuck the point” is a line in the movie that describes how I feel about it. (And an apology to Sunshine, your writing was not [b]this[/b] bad.) The first hour plus of this movie was an endurance test of how long you can stand nothing of interest/substance happening. With countless ‘meta’ scenes and references about shows and making them. I Nope’d out of this movie and hit fast forward. (Two hours to see one cool shot/idea that I have to assume the whole movie was created for.)


[b]Pandorum[/b]: [s]The first monsters shown in this are basically the Navi, and the planet of the Navi is called Pandora. But then it's just the creatures from The Descent.[/s] This feels like a pilot of a show on SyFy. It has an abundance of sci-fi concepts, some better than others. The acting is far superior to the past two movies I watched. (And there’s no fucking cringy modern dialogue.) But the pacing is off, the audio mixing can get obnoxious, and the editing is a mess. And “the story” is in desperate need of an editor.
