Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
hannahp1 A lot of the other reviews I can get. Big plot holes, many questions about how and why are they doing this and that but I still liked it. I loved the feel of this movie it was incredibly creepy. The way those people got sucked in the air freaked me out. The way the clouds moved and paranoid feeling I loved. Plus the acting was great especially Moore who is one of my favorites.Worth the journey just wish the payoff was better.
glzu Good acting, and good buildup through most of the movie, but the ending completely ruined the whole thing for me. The foe, when finally revealed, is (as in so many sci-fi movies) trivialized and unbelievable. Their motivations were quickly passed over with a few lines of gobbledy-gook which propagate some of the most tediously common misconceptions about the most basic concepts of science."Experiments" don't fail; they produce outcomes. And you don't punish a researcher for an unexpected outcome - that's a success, because the experiment uncovered something that is not understood and which requires more research. On an emotional level, due in large part to the good acting, the movie worked really well. But the mood was just shattered by the "scary monster alien" trope at the end.
SnoopyStyle Telly Paretta (Julianne Moore) lost her son Sam 14 months ago. She's not getting along with her husband Jim (Anthony Edwards). Therapist Dr. Jack Munce (Gary Sinise) is treating her. Ash Correll (Dominic West) lost his daughter Lauren on the same flight. Then evidence of Sam's existence disappear. Jim and Dr. Munce claim that she had a miscarriage and never had a son. She goes to Ash and convinces him to remember his daughter. Mysterious NSA agents are after them. NYPD Det. Anne Pope (Alfre Woodard) investigates the mysterious non-disappearances.This is an intriguing premise. It starts as a psychological thriller. It turns into a sci-fi thriller. Julianne Moore keeps this very compelling. However, the movie never figures out how to explain the reasons for the disappearances. It is perfectly happy to have a lot of questions but they don't get answered. There is something more to do at the end of this movie and it leaves the audience hanging.
OllieSuave-007 This is a suspenseful movie starring Julianne Moore as grieving mother Telly Paretta, who is struggling to cope with the loss of her 9 year-old son, Sam. When psychiatrist Dr. Jack Munce (Gary Sinise) and her husband, Jim Paretta (Anthony Edwards), tell her that she has made up the memories of a son she never had, she embarks on a mission to prove her sanity and that her son is real.The plot to the movie is cleverly devised, carefully delving into the mind of Telly, sending the audience to question her sanity, and telling of the probable cause other than insanity that mysterious out-of-this-world forces are causing her to forget her son, giving the audience the impression that there is more hidden suspense to be released. What results is a see-saw of confusion, hope and drama that I find are mind-boggling, but captivating. The lazy-day feel and sometimes dreary-looking atmosphere create an overall somber and serious mood of the entire film.I thought Gerald Di Pego's script for the movie is played out well, thanks to the descent acting, compelling plot and Joseph Ruben's direction. It's actually an enjoyable movie if you are able to put all the pieces together.Grade B
