What a big Hollywood toss of a movie

Rating: 2/10 (16 March 2015)

Its 12:30am on a Monday night and I'm awake with my house-mate. The movie choices are A) A B-grade remake of the 1971 Sci-Fi Thriller, 'The Andromeda Strain' or B)2015 Best Picture Winner 'Birdman'. We decide on The Andromeda Strain. After 15 minutes of bad acting and lack of engagement we change over to Birdman....It won best movie, how bad could it be right? Well I'll put it this way...by the time it was over I was left wondering how much better my life would have been If I had just stuck it out for 2 hours watching an alien virus killing people in a small rural town in the middle of nowhere instead of this pointless, Broadway spasm.
Its like one of those typical movies aimed at 'the art community' even though it lacks any substance, emotion or deep message. Kind of like "Hey I'll put this bird in there and that can represent his ego"(Not a spoiler, you can read it in the summary) and people will be like "Wow, you are so clever. Thats like, never been done before" "And the acting community will totally connect with it and anyone who criticizes it will be ostracized because they just don't understand the beauty of a masterpiece" Yeah right. I'd hate to tell you that off-beat jazz drums mixed with good actors mixed with a pointless plot does not make a good movie. And to think that a movie based on the life of the smartest man on our planet lost the 'Best Picture' to this pile of stinking pig dung.
The Oscars are way off now. First they gave Julianne Moore best actress?! Then they gave this Best Picture?! If you haven't seen it, don't waste your time. SERIOUSLY YOU ARE PROBABLY THINKING "OH EVERYONE ELSE SEEMS TO SAY IT IS CRAP BUT I MIGHT BE THE EXCEPTION (WHICH IS WHAT I WAS THINKING BEFORE I WATCHED IT). TRUST ME, YOU ARE NOT THE EXCEPTION. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.
