Whiteout (2009)
Do not lose two hours of your life
Are US Marshals really this dumb? There are so many lapses in judgment and logic that you are tired twenty minutes in the movies. I watched it on Netflix and still want my money back.
What's wrong? 1. Too many things are left unanswered, you are asking yourself, 'what about the ...?' 2. A traffic ticket officer would have had better law enforcement techniques.(yes, let's leave the murderer(tied up with a plastic tie), alone, in an unlocked, unguarded room) 3. And when there is a confirmed murder, why would you(US Marshal) agree to meet a stranger...calling from the office of the murder victim....alone...in Antarctica...and not bring a gun. 4. Has to be one of the most anti-climatic climaxes for an 'action-adventure movie' and I use the term 'action-adventure' loosely. The credits started rolling and I screamed, 'That's it!?'
Sad that a movie with decent actors, and nice setup could butcher a story so bad. Please Kate, stick to werewolves!!
The Dark Side of the Moon (1990)
Not good even for a B-Movie scifi.
When watching Sci-Fi movies, there is a certain level of disbelief that comes into play. But even then, there should be basic 'rules'. Here the director didn't even follow science rules that literally a first-second grader would know was incorrect. Example:
'When you are outside the spacecraft, and not in a space suit, you cannot breathe' "When someone is infected with something, and you know they are infected, you quarantine them. You do not merely put them in a room, unwatched, and everyone can come and go as they please"(this is even after the first discovered death) "Have a computer android built like a porn star dressed in leather(not making this up), who has access to every piece of data stored on any computer, anytime, including missing viking ships from 3,000 years ago, yet no one thought about rewinding the video feed to see how someone was killed in the medical lab"
I could go on and on. That's not being picky, or requesting common sense, or whining that someone has the wrong accent, just blatant disregard for the audience. The two things the movie had going for it was it creepiness, and neat plot line as to what was going on, shame it was wasted.
If you are remotely a thinker in any type of way, you will hate this movie. If you are a non-thinker and looking for mindless drivel, it may actually work.
