People do not understand Cinema Anymore. Movie was a thrill ride!

Rating: 8/10 (5 January 2019)

I really want to rant on all these fools who gave this movie less than a 5/10, but first here are my main points.
The Good - This movie had strong performances, great suspense, & thrilling moments. Cinematography was on point & had a non-linear story so we as the viewers can understand how Sandra (Mallory) got to the point she's at. Definitely worth a watch.
MY RANT - People just annoy the F out of me these days b/c everyone thinks they're a damn movie critic. And even so, most movie critics are getting paid to speak, which just shoves bias in our faces all day long.
HERE'S MY POINT: People are expecting too much these days, plain and simple. If the story/plot doesn't perfectly fit their mold or what they think it should be, they tear it to pieces with no regard to the work that goes into the product. As an amateur filmmaker with content on YouTube, I know this all to well. People have a hard time letting go of reality. The concept of "Suspension of Disbelief", in which peeps can't just sit back & truly imagine the world/concept/situation they're being introduced to.
I MEAN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! You don't have to know where or why the incident came from and/or why it's happening! That's what keeps us guessing & wondering. Most times when movies do explain, they just ruin the story. Just like the zombie apocalypse... you don't have to explain why it happened, it just is. Now deal with it and try to survive the best way you know how. Some say they don't like the coarse nature of Bullock's character. Her rough character is what keeps her alive & moving forward, besides a few other good reasons that are about 4 ft. tall.
A CRITICISM AND WEAK PROBABLY AT THAT - The one thing I'm dinging this movie for is the sense of urgency when these "things" finally make it to you. Sure we understand that if you open your eyes and they're in front of you, you're done for. And that they can try and trick you with the voices of those you know or have known. But other than that, I'm not so sure there is a reason to run from them. They can't physically harm you (however it could shake a vehicle, but never got inside nor could it open windows and so forth); so at some points when the characters are moving fast & tripping and making mistakes; my thought is to just slow the hell down, keep your wits about you & move along. The only problem with my criticism includes the ones (I'll call them "The Touched"), in which are humans who are possessed by these things. (The minions) for these entities, trying to get what few normal humans are left, to take off their blindfolds and "SEE". That changes things tremendously, cause that's a whole other threat in itself. This movie had some great concepts going and although similar to "A Quiet Place" & "The Happening", it managed to make itself unique. Oh and for some of the reviewers who don't know what they're talking about, the main survivors were in BD Wong's house, not John M.'s... losers. you didn't even watch the movie. Stick to your Hollywood B.S. blockbusters if that's what you love so much. Check me on the ZMAM Show on YouTube if you want to see more. Later.
