Cinematic Flatulence

Rating: 2/10 (6 January 2019)

Bird Box was as dull as bird watching itself - no, sometimes watching birds can be soothing - Bird Box was more like watching an unremarkable pigeon walking in circles until it falls down dead from a rare form of self inflected boredom. The banality of this movie, despite an interesting premise, was shockingly wearisome. In the movie industry there is a term called "the elevator pitch" wherein a person pitches an idea for a movie in the time it takes to ride an elevator. Fine, but when this was pitched, everyone rushed out due to having to breathe the offensive and odious waste smell caused by the flatulence of Bird Box.
