Surprisingly exhilarating

Rating: 8/10 (12 November 2018)

When I decided to watch this movie, I was planning on stopping after 10 minutes, but immediately got glued after the engaging graphics ensued. Although some may think of the graphics as extra, they were comical, well executed, and not distracting. The cinematography was also superb and really exemplified an excitement that Wright seems to bring out in all of his works. Cera's classic innocent character works perfectly with Winstead's scandalous behavior and both manage to keep the movie's realness while in their one-on-one scenes. The Scott vs. 7 exes scenes could have been different variations of any marvel fight, but Wright makes each encounter unique with very unconventional qualities. Overall, the acting was strong, cinematography outstanding, and directing amazing, but the script was not perfect. Unfortunately, some of the dialogue seemed like it was taken out of the movie script I wrote in 5th grade, but was ultimately overpowered by the consistently strong relationship themes. Yes, I certainly recommend this movie, especially for young adults and teens!
