A big pile of Nope

Rating: 1/10 (31 December 2017)

At the beginning of the movie, it was going ok. Characters were predictable, kind of underdeveloped. A little slow, and lots of plot hole questions. But I can look past that stuff and still enjoy a movie. Especially in a romance story.
Halfway in the movie, through, stuff went south. Water creature ate a cat.
-Nope. Not ok with that.
And they showed it.
-Almost vomited in my seat.
And they showed a headless body.
-Started crying and wondered who in their right mind puts this in a 'romance' story. So much for my date night.
Characters acted like it was nothing..even making jokes about it later on.
-How the heck are they ok with that? How are they not traumatized seeing a PET just gobbled up? I don't care if the guy said it's 'nature' And 'doing what's natural.' Nope. I would dry the creature up with a blow dryer and tell my neighbor she has bad taste in...whatever it is she's attracted to. Normal people don't let their lovers eat their pet cats.
So yeah, after that it was just downhill. I kept thinking of ways the characters could avenge Pandora, the kitty, and was glad the crazy guy shot them. Even if they survived and he didn't, I gave a whoop in the audience. Love story? More like a nightmare because of unnecessary shock violence (I get voilence but not when it's overdone and has no meaning to the development of the plot, especially in a ROMANCE), stale characters with no development (How many times will Octavia play the same supporting role?), and random water fapping scenes.
