Godzilla:
Planet Eater 5/10
This
will have spoilers. I have been waiting a while to finally get to see
the latest animated Godzilla movie on Netflix called Godzilla: Planet Eater.
And...yeah. I didn't hate it but if the first film was as hopeless
and not fun as this I would not have wanted to see the second let
alone a third movie. The first movie made me realize how much of a
bastard Godzilla was. I always thought he was just a cool ass monster
but never took into account the radiation and the fact that he was so
goddamn massive. The second movie was good because there seemed to be
some hope as they battled, and lost, against him. They also found
this weird group of people that had adapted to the world as it now
was. This new movie was just so damned hopeless and pointed out that
there was never any hope from the get go.
The
aliens that have been helping the last of humanity that lost their
damned minds in the last episode have now taken over the ship in the
sky blaming Haruo for the mission to destroy Godzilla failing. On
Earth people are starting to get ultra mega religious and following
Metphies believing that they survived because of faith. Haruo knows
that this is all bullshit and Metphies wants to bring his peoples god
to come kill Godzilla. Turns out it is fucking Ghidorah. So that's
great! He starts fucking with Haruo's mind telling him that his
people discovered years ago that the universe goes on forever and
there is no point to anything other than just accepting death. His
race was playing the long game.
Years
later after a lot of people have died and it doesn't matter because
everyone will die one day the people are surviving and still want to
use technology to bring humanity back to where it was before which
means that all the same stuff will just happen all over again.
Ghidorah, who wasn't really there and fucking up Godzilla, is taken
care of and Godzilla is still there. Just chilling. This wasn't fun.
I don't mean because it is dark and miserable. I have watched plenty
of dark and miserable things. This just felt like too many things
were being thrown at me in a short amount of time. This movie looked
great and had good animation and sound. It was just not interesting.
Hereditary
DNF/10
I also
watched Hereditary. And by watch I mean I looked at it on my screen
for 40 minutes before tapping the fuck out. This movie was just slow
feeling and not spooky. And by not spooky I mean that everyone looked
and acted so spooky that nothing was. The sounds would predict when
something would happen. Old lady dies, haunts her family, whole
family is weird. I stopped and read what happened for the rest of
this and was so glad that I checked out when I did. It gets fucking
bananas but not in a cool way. I know folks loved this movie. That's
cool. You can be wrong.
