Nowhere (II) (2023)
7/10
Snickers Advertisement
2 October 2023
This movie gave me mixed feelings after I finished watching it. It is a good thriller movie that keeps you stressed from its beginning till its end. However, it has its drawbacks and cons. My review will be neutral and summarised by mentioning the pros and cons of the movie, in my opinion.

Pros: 1. Good thriller that puts you under stress and keeps you awaiting for what is going to happen next.

2. The concept of the movie is exciting and painful at the same time. It is one of these movies where you fly with your imagination and make you think how you would react and survive if you happened to be in the same situation.

3. Good outcome of limited characters and space.

4. Some events in the movie were emotional and dramatically affecting.

Cons: 1. The beginning of the movie was too short for me to have my feelings engaged and attached to the main characters of the movie. I wish they had spent more time and gave more details in presenting the relationship between the main characters.

2. The acting of the main characters was kind of weak and did not reflect the magnitude of the calamity in the movie (facial expressions, reactions, decisions, etc.).

3. Some events in the movie were illogical and unrealistic.

4. Snickers advertisement?

Overall, this movie was not a bad experience. If you are looking for a movie that has the pros I mentioned and can ignore the cons, you will definitely enjoy this one.

My actual rating is 6.5, but there is no "half" on IMDB and this experience was more good than bad to me, so it got a 7.

Strong Comedy and Weak Plot
16 September 2022
This movie was so fun and enjoyable to watch. I actually did not expect to laugh a lot, but I did.

The performance of George Clooney and Julia Roberts was superior, and their comedy in the movie was joyful.

The overall atmosphere of the movie -taking place in the island of Bali- was great with all the nice natural views.

What I did not like in the movie was the plot and some of its illogical events and changes. I believe that more effort should have been put in the plot to provide a better experience.

Also, the focus on the movie was mainly on George Clooney and Julia Roberts when I believe that other significant characters should have had more focus.

After all, if you are looking for a fun movie with good comedy to watch without caring much about the plot, consider watching this one.

Could Have Been Much Better
11 September 2022
This movie had a great potential to be a better one.

It was exciting in the beginning and it kept me entertained as it progressed, till some events happened that were strongly related to the plot and did not make any sense to me. That was disappointing in addition to the movie's ending.

The acting of the main characters was not perfect but was not bad either. There was a lot of sarcastic comedy some throughout the movie of which made me laugh.

I am sad that my rating had to drop from 7 to 6 as I liked the movie but I wish if it was executed in a better way.

After all, it was a fun experience and I do not regret watching it. If you are looking for a silly movie with a mystery to solve, watch it.

Nope (2022)
6/10
Nothing Special
25 August 2022
I was so hyped up for this movie but at the same I was under hesitation to whether it will suit me or not.

I watched both Us and Get Out movies in the past. I liked Us and I did not like Get Out and I guess Nope comes at Get Out's side.

I did not find anything special in Nope and I expected it to be much better than this. The plot had a lot of potential but it failed to reach me. I did not feel much tension or stress when the movie was supposed to deliver these.

Apart from the dark atmosphere, the sound effects, and the visual effects in a few scenes, there was nothing special in this movie.

Beast (I) (2022)
7/10
Good Thriller
11 August 2022
This movie is a good thriller and reminded me of Jurassic Park movies, but with more reality, a lion!

The performance of Idris Elba was good and I liked it. The connections between him and his daughters was strong and added value to the movie.

I was hoping that the storyline would be stronger and deeper, but this did not affect the overall movie experience and excitement for me.

This should be a fantasy movie, not horror.
25 June 2022
I had high expectations before watching this movie based on the positive reviews and high ratings it received, but I was kind of disappointed.

The movie was ok, but as a horror movie it was not scary enough and it did not provide the tension I was expecting.

The plot was good from the beginning and it was getting more exciting in the middle of the movie, but it was full of fanciful events which I did not like.

Hustle (2022)
7/10
Fun Sport Drama
17 June 2022
I am not a fan of basketball, but I watched this movie because it received high ratings and positive reviews.

It was fun and enjoyable to watch and I was always excited to know what is going to happen throughout the story of the movie.

My major concern was about its ending, as I did not like it very much and I expected it to be crafted in a better and more touching way.

Recommended even for those who are not so much into basketball!

Deja Vu (2006)
8/10
How did I not watch this before?
13 June 2022
Deja Vu is a beautiful movie that combines crime with science fiction and drama. One of the main reasons that made me watch it was its name, as I am a fan of these weird phenomenons, and I was not disappointed!

The movie has a nice plot and is well executed from its beginning till its end, with some diversions in the plot that added more excitement to it!

I have some comments on some scenes, but they did not affect my overall rating of the movie.

Highly recommended!!

Did not expect much from it.
12 June 2022
Well, I am not surprised by the output of this movie as I did not expect much from it in the first place.

This movie follows the same routine of Jurassic World (2015) and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018), popcorn movies and nothing more.

Out of the 6 Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movies, the very first Jurassic Park movie (1993) was the most exciting and valuable one to watch.

Choose or Die (2022)
3/10
One of the Worst Movies I Ever Seen
26 April 2022
When I started watching the first few minutes of the movie, I had high hopes and I expected excitement to come up. However, I got disappointed after finishing it.

The plot is bad and is based on unrealistic and illogical events and explanations. Poor acting and weak connections between the movie's characters.

The movie is supposed to be a horror one but it did not frighten or affect me at all, I was actually laughing at how stupid it was.
