9:17 seconds to Abort: Bobble Head Cam Alert

Rating: 3/10 (3 January 2016)

Another movie that I was really pumped to see, killed by idiots. Shaky cam, quick cuts, bobble-head cam, crash zooms, and horribly edited audio makes this flick a quick refund. In a time when serious producers, and more importantly the money behind movies have left 'the look' in the rear view, some slow learners like The Big Short, just don't get it. If you want someone to sit through or pay for a 2 hour movie, you can't edit in a way that causes nausea, vomiting, and migraines. Its not rocket science. Hollywood mastered these rules in the 1920s. If you ever wandered what a movie would look like if you mounted a camera on top of a bobble head, and asked a 3rd grader to make a movie, make sure to catch A Big Short. Its right up your alley. The keyword in this review is REFUND. I have never supported this juvenile look, and I will die before I pay a single dollar to encourage it. As home screens get bigger, the movie industry goes shakier? Hmmm, what could go wrong? Its time to go to Hollywood with pitchforks and torches. The only good news here is that most in Hollywood have taken the hint that this look is hated, passionately, by most. Those who make movies to make money won't use it. Those who want to be the misunderstood rebel, well... give us products like The Big Short. Nine minutes in, easy choice to abort and refund. The producers and editors who couldn't make the cut to get in to MTV, go to Hollywood. Whoever was involved in the funding of this movie, needs to be fired. I'd like to know who it was that thought, hey lets make a movie about banking, and market it to pre-teens. This person wins the brilliant dumb ass award.
