So Much Wasted Potential

Rating: 5/10 (28 March 2019)

I'd have to put this in the same category as The VVitch. A visually compelling and rich, beautifully acted hot steaming pile of garbage. At least no one booed after the movie was over, like they did in the showing of The VVitch. Both were cinematic wonders, with a stellar cast of actors, who unfortunately couldn't overcome a poor plot and pacing. I don't mind movies that take time to start, because they're laying groundwork, but I spent the whole movie waiting for it to start. Yet it never did. It just kept getting more ridiculous and outlandish, only to be driven into the realm of pure gibbering insanity by the ending. The only reason I have Us as many stars as I did is because of those outstanding visuals and acting, though they're far from a saving grace.
