Just a bit outside ...

Rating: 6/10 (1 January 2019)

1. Nicole Kidman's plastic surgeon deserves an Oscar.
2. There may be a CGI artist who also deserves an Oscar for making Nicole Kidman look ... not young, but younger.
3. Jason Momoa is a pretty good actor, and kept up with Patrick Wilson, Charles Beach, and Kidman. Dafoe was obviously the best, and Dolph Lungren was surprisingly good!
Special effects were good, but while technically marvelous, the director seemed to have put little thought or effort into making the effects coherent or supportive of the story.
And the story, well, that's the real problem. There were half-a-dozen stories crammed into this movie. Maybe a better writing team and director could have pulled it off, but this group of moviemakers wasn't up to the challenge. The audience was silent most of the movie. I was the only one who laughed at any of the jokes, and I laugh at anything. Well, there was one funny joke, but I won't spoil it.
Basically, it was pretty lame for 85% of the time, and while Momoa, Kidman, and Dafoe did rally around the reunion story, I don't think anyone cared much about the rest of the plot. Maybe they can pull off a Justice League movie if they hire Joss Whedon or one of the good Marvel directors.
