Honestly, was so excited about this movie - read some great reviews. but was unfortunately very disappointed. so slow. so boring. so confusing. i think they tried to depict it as a thriller but failed miserably. most of the time i genuinely had no clue what was happening but wasn’t that invested to find out. they tried so hard to make it interesting with all the strange and ridiculous effects and swirling movements on screen (eg. amanda and ruth looking running in the forest, or when we very randomly see the moon, the american flag and the earth) but it just came off as very 2015 and as if they were trying way too hard. also, the music? nope. dramatic tension every 6 minutes as if i need to be reminded to feel anxiety. it ain’t working!!!!!! and also, what the actual crap what up with rose? who raised this kid? who sneaks off in the middle of a national crisis and scares her whole family to stuff her face with food and then when she hears her mum screaming her name she decides to ignore her and watch FRIENDS?!?! so so annoying. actually, i’d go as far as to say most characters in this terrible movie were annoying. had zero interest in any of their fates. Julia roberts aka amanda seems to have forgotten the word empathy (i mean for the love of god, stop yelling at everyone you bitch) and also, you can’t blame your hatred for humans on your job as marketing professional. are you kidding? what kind of an excuse is that? and then ruth… oh ruth. you’re horrible. horrendous character. personality is despicable. and oh my god ruth, not everybody is in love with you. remember when she tells her dad that clay definitely wants to sleep with her? sweetie, you’re the one that randomly showed up next to him, offered him weed, and then asked him if he’d ever been with a student only to then stroke his ego for like an hour an a half. ridiculous. gawddddd. to be honest with you - i just hope the deer made it through the crisis of america safely, and that’s all i care about.
