I dream plot lines better than this

Rating: 1/10 (19 July 2013)

I knew from the IMDb high rating that it was either going to be really good or really bad...It turned out to be really bad. I work in the film projection booth so I know what I'm talking about. OK, so as of this writing the IMDb rating is a 7.9 for this movie. Now, around the mid 2000's, IMDb rating developed a sociological phenomenon of a nature in which really really average movies gets really high ratings like 7.5 and above. This phenomenon did not happen before that. I believe the reason is due to the fact that IMDb is getting more popular, so what was originally mainly movie buffs and generally more "experienced" movie watchers' ratings are getting diluted by newer and less experienced movie watchers. Mediocre movies such as the fighter, true grit, all Tarantino and eastwood films. It seems as if a movie is logical and elicits a reaffirming positive message and has good cinematography, then it's going to be rated highly. Now James Wan is a director that showed some flashes of brilliance directing Insidious and Death Sentence. Being that the rating is 7.9, I thought this had a chance to be really good. If this was 2002, I know a 7.9 would no doubt be good. But in the year 2013, IMDb's rating has mutated. Basically I knew about 40 minutes into the movie that it was another deceptive IMDb mutation rating, aka: "really bad" movie. The movie is basically 1+1=2 2+1=3 and 3+1=4. In another words very logical, there are no twists or turns. There are no hills or valleys. And forget about any cliffs or mountains. Just a lazy drive on a rainy night with a few bums scaring you at the red light by popping out asking for change. It does have one nice soundtrack in the beginning. This is why society and humans in general are easily manipulated by the rich elite, we need to wake up. The good movie makers rarely get a chance these days. My observational acumen is very high and my imagination is off the charts.
