About the blog:

Well, hello! Thanks for stopping by to read my opinions about movies that I see. Some are older and most are new. Some I go to see in the theaters (both live performances and movies) and some I watch from the comfort of my own couch and even more, I will watch from the amazing Netflix app. Of course, these will be my personal thoughts about the targeted item, however, it will give you an idea of whether it's a colossal waste of time or worth a shot!

MY REVIEW
I read a few bad reviews and went into this movie with some pre-conceived notions of what I was GOING to think of this movie. I did LIKE this movie. Not LOVE. Yes, I get the idea that they were trying to get across, but something kept nagging at me the whole time. Yes, this is a SPOILER, so SORRY! I could not get over the idea that Chris Pratt's character WOKE her up on purpose here 'cause HE fell in love with her like a crazy stalker and HE decided to wake her up early. It's because of HIS loneliness and desire that SHE was bound to not reach her destination on the colony. That's not romantic. That's ILLEGAL!

What I DID LIKE about this movie:
  • Conceptually, this is a plausible idea for a movie. I for one, have really thought about the overpopulation and over polluting of the planet and this just advances the idea.
  • Visually, this was a pretty awesome ride. Still not enough to redeem this deplorable basic nature of the movie.
What I DID NOT LIKE about this movie:
  • Like I stated in the start, this is a physiologically damaging movie. Chris Pratt's character literally kills her by waking her up 88 years too early! How on this earth could she forgive him and live happily together on the ship alone for the rest of their lives? Preposterous!!
  • The SCIENCE- I don't think the majority of the watchers of this movie were too interested in pointing out the scientific flaws, but for me it was definitely a let down. I get it though, the story over the possible.


On a more personal note..... So January came in with me getting a NEW TATTOO! So super excited! Clay put the dark and outlines in first and we do the color on my BIRTHDAY (February 4th) I started a new piece that I am calling "the Naked Cellist". I will try to finish soon so it can go into the next show~
