I kept falling asleep. Finally made it through though... It’s like channel surfing a bunch of random sci-fi channels. No cohesion.
I need to remember to stop giving Snyder second chances.
Ohh boy, part 1 was so bad. I got through the whole thing, but it sure wasn’t easy. And I'm a Sci-Fi nut. Show me spaceships and big planets in the sky and it's hard for me to dislike your movie. But man this movie sucked. I feel like Snyder asked “how can we make this movie as difficult to watch as possible?” And then he went and outdid himself. He really is a terrible filmmaker, and I didn't fully understand it until this movie. His movies look gorgeous as a slideshow, but don’t have a coherent narrative or storytelling goal, and the visuals are so damn distracting. They do nothing for the plot.
The slo-mo isn’t cute anymore. It’s incredibly distracting, and the more I see it the more I believe he slows everything way down because he doesn’t trust his actors or the writing to move the plot along. And I don’t know if anyone else noticed, but he’s now resorting to double slo-mos. He slows things way down, pauses, and then slows it down even more. Sorry, but that shit is nothing but a waste of everyone’s time. Seeing a blaster shoot in slo-mo is cool, once. Once. Not every goddamn time.
Leaving aside how hilariously derivative the whole story is, I wish Snyder would at least trust his actors enough to act in a movie, not in a series of slow-moving photographs.
