Yet another Abrams special....

Rating: 3/10 (18 January 2020)

I watched a prescreening version of this but held off the review until i saw the final cut in order to be fair.
This movie is little better than bad because visual fx...
I used to ask questions like: why do they give clowns like Abrams and Shyamalan opportunities?
Rise answers both: Abrams couldn't give 1/2 a F regarding creativity, story telling or artistry. What he brings is a prolific ethic of making high budget movies that are just good enough to entertain the ignorant (m)asses while staying relatively wholesome in the context of our culturally bankrupt society. He also has a knack for slipping in whatever is in vogue on the societal progressive Left, which Hollywood loved because: money. Incidentally, the making of, being the only driver behind this guy... which studios- love! Also incidentally why Shyamalan gets movies, he at least he tries to be creative (though not very well), the delta driving enough story fans to stay with him and, you guessed it, create a market...$$$
So, you say, what's all this have to do with the movie?
Imagine all the most convenient, expeditious money maximizing decisions you could make in this film and general storyline, and you'll write, in your head, 90% of this movie. It's that predictable, it's that derelict and creativity, it's that boring to follow.
Maybe watch for free, home, sick... maybe.
