WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
OneEightNine Media I gave this film the old 30 minute try. After 30 minutes, I didn't feel like watching anymore so I changed the channel. But RIP to the lead, he made a good Scotty in the Star Trek films.
kuarinofu As I understood, this is based on a book or a series of books I've missed. So I was watching this without knowing anything beside the short synopsis from IMDB. As the headline goes - this is a solid movie. The pacing is very reminiscent of Edgar Wright's style. It is very minimalistic, some necessary narration, but not much, lots of dialogue, but fast and always on the move, clever use of flashbacks etc. Such an approach gives the movie a good flow. One thing that was somewhat a miss was the introduction of a character 40 mins in. I guess he was important in the book and it seemed like they had no scenes for him but they still needed to feature him. The performances were handled well, especially by Yelchin, it is so sad we will not be seeing him any more. I'd rate this 6-7 for being a solid movie, but the ending pulled a string inside me and I have to give a little more just for this.
preiszner-55623 I'm not familiar with the book(s), so I can not speak about authenticity. But this is a very interesting movie, excellent acting, fantastic special effects. The cheesy humor fits between the gory scenes quite well. The teenagers' romance is truly touching and in the end you may feel crying. It is tragic that we won't see Anton Yelchin anymore, he was an exceptional actor.
benson3436 I am kicking myself for waiting this long to view this movie. Anton did a marvelous job and the movie as a whole is very well made, with great execution and a great cast behind it! It sucks that Anton passed away last year and again I waited long to view this movie, but NETFLIX has it on there so I decided to give it a go and I was NOT disappointed ! Willem Defoe is great as usual and then there are a few people who I did not recognize, but all parts are played very well! This is a great take on a Dean Koontz novel and it is just a shame that we will not see a 2nd one with Anton in it. Maybe a new movie as a whole, but I do not see it being better than this one! I don't know though. We could be surprised. Great movie though, if you haven't seen it, give it a go! It should not disappoint you! Peace!
