Just watched Old (2021) by the guy that directed that ghost Bruce Willis movie.
I thought the concept for the plot was very intriguing and gripping, but the execution was not the greatest thing ever... it was OK barring a silly scene that I did not buy at all, which tells us that apparently you can
And lmao at that huge thing that is thrown out of frame at the speed of light so the movie doesn't give you time to see how ridiculous the whole situation is, or what they're doing with that huge 1998 FIFA World Cup sanctioned football and what happens afterwards (does it deflate? become dust?). I don't want to talk about the plot much but I thought it was satisfactory, although I don't think the director explored the theme of mortality to its fullest potential.
What really disappoints is the ending, though, once some characters escape their predicament. They didn't try to explain the twilight zone-ish mechanisms of the movie too much so it was vague enough (though it shouldn't have been explained at all, it didn't make a difference for me to accept the premise at least), they only explained why they got into the movie's plot, and that was good! But the ending was silly and poorly executed:
Anyhow, the interesting premise carries the movie towards good watch territory but much more could have been done with the concept it presents so it's somewhat disappointing. 3 out of 5.
EDIT: also, great casting for the kids that grow up but the adult version of the girl kid does not look like her at all lol
