Actually, yes, thank you. You *did* just save me time and money. I was on the fence about this one, but it sounds like JJ Abrams beta nonsense all over again.

Typical Hollywood condescension. Thanks for saving us time and $$.

Man I want to see a dinosaur movie that is set in the real America now. It started when they had the dinosaurs released in oklahoma and no one thought to have a rodeo. We would have a rodeo. It might take a few months, but we would have a rodeo.

If you want a dino rodeo, try this book: https://www.amazon.com/Right-Rex-Rodeo-unSPARKed/dp/1910806889 (or start at the beginning of the series!)

Thanks for the warning. I'm also so tired of the trash movies that thinly disguises woke moralizing as entertainment.

JJ Abrams... that was enough for me to know I wouldn't want to see it. JJ Abrams cannot produce anything other than flashes and booms with his kind's vile message woven in.

Remember, Chris Pine repeated Abrams that American audiences are too stupid to be entertained by anything intelligent: they are easily amused by big bangs and flashes of light.

Nothing good can come from Abrams and his kind.

That's a DUE-ISH monicker isn't it. You know what the philosophe Voltaire said , " if you want to find out who really has power over your life find out who you're not allowed to criticize" and we've all found out.

The Great Whore has committed fornication with the world.

The vast majority of American Christians cannot accept what Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Habakkuk, and Revelation tells us about the Whore.

That her judgment is yet to come. That Jesus does not come back to "save Israel."

That Israel was rent from Judah in 1 Kings and won't be regathered together until after Jesus returns with fury.

Making... this 1948 version of Judah (called wrongly "Israel") an imitation. Who likes to imitate GOD? Rev 2:9, 3:9. No hate, only horror.

If we could stop letting self-inserts with zero life experience dominate the world of fiction, that'd be great. I'm a wife and mother. I even have a laid-off husband and I like to write. I would hate this movie.

Thanks. I will never watch this shit.

The worst part about these quiet desperation-type mothers is that they’re so caught up in their own bs that they don’t even realize that the men in their lives resent them and their daughters play them. These are the homes the dad usually runs, so mom can keep imagining she’s being held back, even though she has all the time on earth because, again, dad is running everything.

Can’t remember the last time I went to the movies because of slop like this. If they are going to write the screenplay around cunty, unlikeable women… then they can go and watch this crap while I stay home and do chores and other needful things.

Nowadays I watch the CHUD critics like The Critical Drinker and others who are watching this crap so I don’t have to.

😂👍

And despite the movie, being writing and directed by David Robert Mitchell of ‘It Follows’, it’s pretty obvious that J.J. Abrams’ fingerprints were on this movie. It wouldn’t surprise me if J.J. Abrams was the one who demanded the script changes, so we get this girlboss moment. No wonder Oscar Issac left this movie before filming began. Wouldn’t surprise me if J.J. Abrams was this movie’s actual director, and David Robert Mitchell was just there to set up shots.

interesting theory!

Is there any scene these chicks enact where they don’t show cleavage?

When they finally expire and they’re laying in a casket, do they show it off there too?

"I went to the Hellmouth that spews poison bile smog again, thought I saw a glimmer of the visions of old"

"Was it really there?"

"No, it was just poison bile smog, I caught a hyperflu again"

"Dang"

Your sacrifice, though predictable in its results is appreciated for the certainty that yes, it still is bad and they still despise everything, us, you and God in particular.

May your recovery be speedy.

Too bad you didn’t stay till the end. It was hysterical and spoiler alert: the dad lives in the end.

You failed to acknowledge that the dad literally dies defending his wife. You also ignore all the bravery of the little boy throughout the movie.

So you left the theater because you couldn’t tolerate a story arc, and dismissed all of the male bravery because- just like those who only see misogyny and ‘patriarchy’ everywhere- you only see through a distorted lens that gets offended.

To anyone interested in a real review- by someone who also finds overly’girl power’ tropes annoying:

This movie was really fun and a lighthearted refreshing old school 80s like movie romp.

Don’t ruin every good thing through a culture war lens: this movie wasn’t guilty of the accusations here at all.

actually i just saw the end online and i'm glad i walked out.

there's absolutely no reason to kill the dad except misandry, otherwise why not kill the mom instead and have BRAVE dad save the family.

also, i cant be bothered with time-travel paradoxes anymore, but in the "happy ending" you learn that mom is a successful author, lesbian daughter is at Cornell and head of the science club, son is in a leg cast and has a girlfriend - and dad is just where he was in life and cooking dinner for the family. Also the daughter and the girl of color are a couple now. So no, I didn't misread the subtext, i was spot on AS USUAL.

If that's your definition of "Spot On," I'd be interested to see if your archery skills are better than the kid's.

Jane Baker's avatar

Why does the Dad have to defend his wife is she's so smart and clever. Was she loading the washing machine or something at the time.

Byl Holte's avatar

better yet, why does the story kill off the dad not the mom, since the person "isn't really dead"?

((( Moishe the Beadle )))'s avatar

I guess you’d need to actually watch the movie to find out. But yes, both statements are true.

Jessica Marie Baumgartner's avatar

I did watch it all and still hated it. The dad is shit on by the mom because he works hard while she tries to escape her responsibilities and neglects her kids, yet somehow she get to be the hero in the end?

It's exactly why I reject feminism. This anti male BS is absurd.

((( Moishe the Beadle )))'s avatar

Yes because instead of enjoying human relational complexity you have adopted the same kind of rigid ideological views as those who you oppose. So sad for you

Excellent review. Woke screen writing has ruined so many films. Gah!
