[b]The Lazarus Project[/b]: Time Loop stories should be the easiest thing in the world to make appealing right from the start. But this one feels delusional (and already dated beyond belief), poorly acted, and the characters act like they're in a horror movie. "Ala speak vaguely, be an asshole, and never listen to what someone else has to say - and voilà - you create instant conflict!" (So it didn’t even manage to hold my interest for the entire episode.) [b]Mythica: A Quest For Heroes[/b]: (Think "Gamers", but without a sense of humor and Rey is your main protagonist.) It's ambitious to make five whole movies, out of a minimal budget, I guess? But I wouldn’t call this film entertaining. Nor would I recommend it as a "hidden gem". Since its cliché-riddled plot is impossibly bare-bones, and yet it still struggles to make any sense. So you’ll be struggling to find things to even enjoy about it, like "oh look, it gets 'cold breath' right. And I just watched a modern big budget movie that failed to have that." (So, I'll give it an E for effort, and move on.) [b]Redline[/b]: I swear I saw this before. But I definitely didn't watch the dub version. So it was thoroughly entertaining, for what it is. (Certainly a feast for the eyes.) Though the pacing is breakneck like nearly all anime movies, and the plot clearly did not matter to the writer at all. [hr] [quote=@BangoSkank] I actually enjoyed Nope. [/quote] [s]Who do you think was the reason I watched it in the first place? >:c[/s] I’d have accepted its slow start, if anything that was shown previously had mattered in the long run. The only positive thing that kept me going was how Keke Palmer's character was playing an "enjoyably annoying” character. (Since she seemed to be the ONLY one giving a performance of some kind. [s]Then I looked up her IMDB to see what else she’s done, and saw she was a character in Big Mouth.[/s]) But after she went on to lecture an entire audience at her brother's workplace, and then they all proceeded to smile and clap in response. I realized that the movie DID NOT have any sense of self awareness. (I seriously think the movie struggled to find a tone and stick with it.)
