GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.
KC Quinn I honestly thought Comet was a terrible, terrible movie...but I am 'not allowed' to say so. If you are reading this I am very surprised. And I am going to make this my last post due to the fact I always thought there was some type of collusion and reviews were not totally truthful...I am sure I will be banned anyway.Someone who posts on this site reported my comments on the movie Comet as abusive????? And to make matters worse IMDb removed my posting.All other reviews of this movie rave on like it won 100's of awards. There are only a few bad reviews. The quality of the good reviews are out of this world. A very odd balance and rarely happens...hmmm.Do you people who post these reviews think others are stupid. Even an award winning movie would not have the exuberant reviews this one has...nor the hefty balance of good vs. bad.Have you no shame. THIS SITE IS TO GIVE VIEWERS AN IDEA AS TO WHETHER A MOVIE IS GOOD OR BAD. Not to pump up ratings. Viewers come here for truthful opinions! I thought this was a free country. I thought there was freedom of speech. Well, not here anyway. I have no idea what type of 'pull' the people who rave of this movie have but obviously it is extremely powerful.I wish I could show all the post that was reported as abusive but I am 'not allowed' to re-post it.To me the term abusive means rude, vulgar etc. i.e. swearing, name calling...my comments did not contain any of the aforementioned. I just didn't like the movie for many reasons, thought it was one of the worse I have ever seen and said so...that is not abusive. That is freedom of speech and honesty.At one point there were articles online stating Emmy Rossum and Justin Long collaboratively directed the movie. These articles are no longer out there, at least I could not find them. I made one comment saying 'one should stick to what they know' in reference to Emmy Rossum and Justin Long directing this film. Now if that is what is considered abusive IMDb and the people who reported my post should read some of the other posts I have come across here in the past few years.Honesty is what wins respect.
TheNew Neandertalien Produced by The Propagandist Cabal: smoking, drug use(?), cheating, divorcing, mixed-racism... Art: misleading advice to couples; good actingThe director of "Comet" is Sam Esmail. He was later appointed as "creator" of the 2015 brainwashing blockbuster "Mr Robot". The Propagandist Cabal took control of the Hollywood and in each movie sadistically programs young and old into smoking, using pharmacological and illegal drugs, drinking liquor, cheating-divorcing, "mixed-racing". "Mixed racing" means forming mixed race couples. And "mixed-racism" means the nauseating repetitive propaganda of mixed race mating.Propagandist programming in "Comet" is lighter, but you can check almost all of the check-boxes for the brainwashing points enumerated above. The money to make Comet came from Tobacco industry and similar from the "pool of sponsors" of The Propagandist Cabal. The artistic part gives a misleading advice on how to meet and impress your future wife(over sophisticated talking is not the best way), and on how to behave when you are a couple. The parts where a couple breaks up and the guy feels miserable are portrayed correctly. The two main actors do a great job. The writing is smart enough (outside the crap imposed by The Propagandist Cabal) but misleading, does not describe reality. The director Sam Esmail is probably an idiot (based on his twitter, an interview to HuffPost and on "Mr Robot"). He didn't write any of the dialogue. He may have done the confusing editing. Survival Rule: do not get back together with your ex girl friend after she went out (slept) with another man. Waste of time.The verdict: 1)due to propagandist programming, teenagers and most of young adults, should not watch. People able to spot brainwashing and to resist it can watch. It is somewhat entertaining; 2) do not pay for it. Tobacco industry and the rest of The Propagandist Cabal already paid.TheNewNeandertalienEn.Wordpress.com
huston-43657 In life and in love, people often ponder the moments in their lives they attribute to being transformational. The moments we feel define and alter our path in this world. Comet captures these moments in Dell and Kimberly's lives, showing us the genuine emotion they felt as these moments unfolded. It leaves countless unanswered questions—allowing the audience to surmise the trajectory. From the opening scene in which Kimberley "pushes" Dell out of the way of an oncoming car, the audience is sent on a deliberate exploration of what could have happened in this couple's story. All entirely dependent upon how they lived out these moments and how the audience chooses to interpret the reality of those scenes. If you're looking for definite answers in a movie you will be astoundingly unsatisfied. This story will challenge many preconceived notions of these same moments in your own life. Perhaps serving, for some, as a paradigm shifting moment in your introspective mind.
TxMike I came across this movie on Netflix streaming. I like the two main actors so gave it a try. Frankly it isn't easy to figure what all is going on, and when, because of the editing. But that didn't matter to me, I enjoyed the performances and the overall quirkiness. I was looking to be entertained and I was.Justin Long is Dell at an outdoors nighttime viewing of some heavenly phenomena. I believe it was a comet. He happens to encounter Emmy Rossum (of "Phantom" fame) as Kimberly. She was there with a date but that didn't stop Dell from telling her that she needed his phone number because she would want to contact him, he was sure they were soul mates and should be together.Not for all tastes, but I enjoyed it. We get to see them in a number of situations over the 6 years.
