The Worst Film Ever

As Good As It Gets

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

We were very pleasantly surprised by this movie, having never heard of it before. It is an interesting premise, although I think that computer scientists would find it a bit laughable. I personally would've made the fictional technology more impressive and advanced, but I'm sure that would've increased the FX budget. The plot itself was well done with some unexpected twists and turns. The basically unknown actors all did very believable jobs. We enjoyed it overall.

The plot twist was evident ever since the guy wanted to give him the implant. The acting was bad but the action was worth the watch. But if you didn't realize the twist within the first 10m then you a) are not very smart or b) don't watch many movies. Big Spoiler: I was hoping at the end it would of just left him in the hospital with the wife without cutting back to him; I like those open endings; where you're not sure if he went insane or if it was all a dream; this is probably the worst part of the movie; the movie feels it needs to explain everything; yet it tries to act like the explanations are unfounded; when they were very obvious.

I didn't know what to really expect but I was absolutely impressed. A movie set in the future in which technology and automation are taking over, one man who doesn't share the same values of technology as everyone elsefinds himself being forced to use to upgrade his quality of life. This film left me in awe at the end. Thrilling and non stop pulsating tension and action.

I am a fan of Leigh Whannell's movies, such as Saw and Insidious, so I had high expectations for this movie. After the movie ended I sat for some time trying to find a flaw in the script that would dismiss such a grim outcome as unrealistic. I couldn't find any. It is a pretty hard original science fiction. Stanley Kubrick level or a less spectacular, lower budget Christopher Nolan masterpiece. It does not continue the trend of the past century where beautiful/monstrous sparkling cans are taking over the world through brute force. It sets a new modern trend of the future where aging and obsolete information security is the only guard against the machines that need but an access key to take over the world. The world that they already operate, but don't own yet. In fact, it might have gone too much into technical details. Like The Matrix, but without a beautiful facade to connect to a non-tech-savvy audience, without Morpheus to explain it all in plain English. But I will not take any stars away for it being too tech-heavy. And if someone feels like it is, you better catch up and keep up, or we may find some of the predictions this movie makes come true.
