Take a seat because you're now a passenger in this thrill ride

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2017)

Jennifer Lawrence made this movie, her brilliant acting has come through once again. The way she personifies her character in this movie and it includes her others as well, makes you feel that she is actually that person and that the audience is drawn in to ride with her character throughout the whole film. When we talk about character development and acting, actors/actresses portray someone who is parallel to reality because the circumstances a movie presents to an audience are typically unrealistic. In some instances the characters are put into situations that are realistic to the ones we face in life, this movie carried with it some important meanings and posed philosophical questions to the audience about their own existence all done through the acting of Lawrence and Pratt. Together they worked as a team and combined with the amazing lighting of the set and camera work to show the audience true emotions that are rarely seen in Hollywood films. If there was one scene in the movie that stood out, it was the scene where Aurora found out that Jim had woken her up, this scene carried with it so much emotion that the audience is forced to choose who they support because up until this time, we favored Jim because he portrayed everything we don't want in life unhappiness and loneliness. I think it was crucially important for Aurora to be told by Arthur because then the character development does not happen to the extent that it does in the movie and instead you would have a boring 2-4 minute conversation between Jim and Aurora about why he woke her up and this would not develop our understanding of both their character motivations. In the end even though it may have been a typical Hollywood style ending, I felt satisfied that the price I paid to see this movie was definitely worth it so overall this movie deserves the 9 I am giving it because of the brilliant acting that combined with the lighting, camera work and editing to bring us a movie that I would recommend to anybody who is going to visit the cinema in the new year.
