Terrible, really. Don't believe the extreme overhype.

Rating: 4/10 (26 May 2019)

Was really expecting a great movie going into this. Both my gf and I really liked 'Keanu' and thought 'Get Out' was awesome in the main.
Unfortunately though, this is just painful to watch. People acting totally unlike real people would do, ludicrous plots that a 60's comic book would reject (or at least do more believably), zero logical consistency, and characters that are simply unlikable. Parts are also rather heavy handed on the symbology. Its pretty obvious what hes trying to say, but unfortunately you can't just shoehorn in your statement without a plot that makes sense to support it.
On the not so bad side, it had good acting, cinematography, and general pacing etc. If you haven't seen a decent horror movie before, then the middle of the movie is a fairly decent example of their usual stupidity.
'Get Out' was a clever, funny, engaging movie that was smart on many levels.
'Us' seems to be more focused on trying to be clever, than on being a good movie.
Really disappointed.
