I Forgot It an Hour After I Watched It

Rating: 4/10 (30 August 2016)

Airlift follows a man as he attempts to evacuate 170,000 Indians from Kuwait after the Iraqi invade in search of Kuwaitis to kill.
To start, I did not like this movie. At all. Maybe it's because its the first Bollywood movie I've seen and I'm not used to it, but I really just didn't enjoy it. There's this really weird scene at the beginning where the main character starts singing but it's so obvious that he's not. He can't even lip sync it well. And the voice of the singer is heavily auto-tuned, so it's super out of place and fake-looking and sounding. The rest of the music is all super upbeat and way out of place. There's no reason for any of the chosen music to be in the movie. Maybe that's just what Bollywood movies are like, but I don't care. It negatively affected the movie, so I don't see any reason to let it go simply because of the people behind the making of it.
Also this movie advertises itself as an action movie, and yet I recall one action scene towards the end, and its just a crappy fist fight. It was actually one of the worst looking fights I've ever seen. I've seen better fights in other foreign movies that advertise themselves as dramas. Yeah that's right. Movies that consist of almost nothing but talking have more exciting fights than the one in this 'action' movie.
On top of all that, the movie is boring. It moves at a slug's pace, and I really didn't find anything in this movie that could catch my attention. I've seen it all before, and it's extremely predictable.
Overall I really didn't like Airlift. As I was trying to remember what I watched today I couldn't remember this movie. I even forgot to rate it on Netflix when I finished it. I just didn't care at all for it. In the end I wouldn't recommend this movie. It's a forgettable waste of 2 hours.
