Walter Mitty (Ben Stiller) is a boring dull guy that works for "life"
magasin. He often zones out and gives way for his imagination. He doesnt
have the balls to stand up for himself, or even ask out the woman that
he likes (cliché much?). He is soon informed that the magasin is closing
down and for the last issue they need a single photo from a explore and
photographer named Sean O'Connell (Sean
Penn), here on goes the hijincks as he has to track down the one photo
negative from Sean O'Connell that is required for the front page for the
last "Life" magasin.
ok thats a short summary, now lets get to the fun part... what works? and what does not work?
the first act of the movie is a well thought out, entertaining and
cliché look into the mind of a normal guy caught in boring job and
everyday scenario, his day dreaming is extremely fun and creative, with
some great action scenes and some genuinly fun moments... it starts of
with interesting premise, but soons gives way and fall flat on its
extremely dull ass... the rest of the movie is a beautiful well shot... extremely superbly boring movie...
ok here is the thing, the movie starts out great, it catches the
audience and seems to wanna deliver just fun and a not spectacular hunt
for the missing photo... it does not
from the point he leaves
USA, the movie is just about how beautiful they can show the contries...
which would be fine... if it had some context besides "UH WHAT A
BEAUTIFUL FUCKING MOUNTAIN"... it turns into a 2 hour travel
commercial... i was just waiting for the travel logo to pop up...
but wait it gets worse...
the morale... yes ofc it has to have a morale...
with a mallet... no sledgehammer... no wait with an anvil dropped from
space it tries to hammer in a moral/lifelesson so cliché it hurts. it
takes you by the collar and shakes you... it yells into your face...
then it slaps you again and beats you while you lie down... "LIVE LIFE
TO ITS FULLEST!!!! DOOOOOO IT!!!!... I CAN'T HEAR YOU BITCH?... WHAT DID
I TELL YOU TO DO?... NOW FUCKING DO IT"... ur brain is already numb
from the boredom and this life lesson and moral just sneaks up from
behind and drop kicks you...
ok ok anger out
the
acting is actually quite good, Ben Stiller does a good job... the boss
douche does an excellent job... he is so unlikable that you WISH the
first half hour would have lasted 2 hours... the female romance thing
doesnt do much so she doesnt stand out in anyway... Sean Penn is in the
movie for maybe 5 min... few decent secondary characters.... all this
does however NOT REDEEM THE BOREDOM AND FORCED LIFELESSON...
fuck this movie... for having a great beginning that forced me to watch
the entire thing... hoping it would again become interesting... fuck
this movie for letting me waste 2 hours... but most of all... FUCK THIS
MOVIE for forcing a morale on me, that everyone and their dead pets
already are well aware off...
Are
you looking for that one special movie? that one movie where Will Smith
does nothing for ever? WELL here it is!! "After Earth" WATCH Will Smith
sit on his ass for one and half hour! EXCITING!!!! WAUW LOOK AT THAT
CHAIR ACTION!!! the one movie that dares to ask the question... "How do
you make alien invasion with huge monster boring?"... Well it has been
answered! "After Earth!!!!"... A movie that
makes no sense 5 seconds into the film "the monsters smelled our fear!
cuz they are blind and shizz so they smelled fear instead. So we
developed soldiers that don't fear them!" the aliens are like "awh shit
man, they no afraid no mo? how we gon get em now main? we cannot afford
eyes on our BIOENGINEERED SPECIALY BRED KILLER MONSTERS, that we made
from the ground up, which suggest we have the ability to make them with
eyes... awh no man that would be to easy for us man, let them humans win
the war cuz we lazy" also featuring a class 1 planet where
everything is out to kill you, yet the eagle which is twice the size of a
grown man cannot kill a 15 year old boy dropping from a cliff with no
means of defence. neither can the pack of man sized baboons, a type of
animal known to have killed people, that somehow cannot catch up to him
either... in a forest i might add... btw the eagle has serious mood swings...
also the planet freezes over completely in the night (for no reason
btw) also did i mention the planet is earth? and WHY THE FUCK DOES THE
PLANET FREEZE OVER! ther is no mention of nuclear war or anything, it
litteraly goes from plus 20 C to everything is frozen solid in about, 5
minutes... i mean i can take this shit if it were another planet,
but come on man! its earth... also how does the broken crashed spaceship
have that much power still, and internal heat, even though we see that
it breaks com-fucking-pletely...
warning! even though what i
said might have sounded interesting, there is actually about 10 minutes
of action in 2 hours of playtime... the rest is Jaden running and Will
sitting on his ass looking high and wasted at the same time... u might
say "huh sounds like a fun stupid thing to watch" and you would be
correct! except the fun part! its not fun... its boring... its like here
is 30 second of action! now 30 minutes of terribly written dialogue...
M Night Shyamalan!!!
I COMMEND YOU FOR BEING SUCH A FUCKING TERRIBLE MOVIE WRITER AND
DIRECTOR... also i hope you get fired and your legs fall of from sudden
shittyness
