The Way To Do Original Sci Fi

Rating: 10/10 (10 June 2016)

It's pretty rare to see a movie this original today but that's what makes it even more exciting once it does come around as looper is a fantastic Sci Fi movie and proved how much potential Rian Johnson has as a director to the point where he's being trusted with Star Wars Episode 8. The plot in this movie was fantastic it's just so smart and original and it made for a realistic world of the future as its not bloated it feels like a real world that could exist one day. Joseph Gorden Levitt is great here he's surprisingly convincing as a young Bruce Willis who also kills it in this movie. This is a time travel movie and there not always easy to get right as there are countless paradoxes and plot holes but not here the situation is very well realised and logical. The movie is for the most part very well paced which is remarkable considering that we have to get an entire history of Bruce Willis' character thought a series of flashbacks. The kid in this movie gives possible the best performance in the hole movie and maybe even the best one ever given by a child actor. My only real issue with the movie is a section where the characters are in a single location for about 25 minutes and it drags a bit during this sequence. Other than that looper is a fantastically original Film. 97%-A
