Life is like watching the newest M. Night Shyamalan movie
You never know what you're gonna get
What is this? A box of darkened capsulated saturated omelet chocolate?
You didn't expect that did you? You just got Shyamalaned son.
@@lawrencefrost9063 idk why I'm seeing Bruce Willis doing a commercial for ghost chocolate.
Let me guess, everybody dies, or held hostage because everyone is going to die yet they’re ghosts already. I can’t be far off.
@Don't Read My Profile Picture Making your parents proud I see.
LOL!!!
Dave was amazing in Bladerunner 2049 which is what sold me on his acting chops. The only downside was his part was short, but it was excellent.
Im so happy he pointed this out
His part was short in this film or 2049? I think he’s amazing in both. This film really proved he has some emotional range even though he’s pretty subdued
drax sold most of us but yeah
@@Tye0111 I agree, but he’s done a lot more since Drax haha
@@bobbyfischer9927 very true brother. I enjoyed him in those low budget crime movies too
I will always be in awe that M Night still has a job after last Airbender movie
Hell yeah. I'm still wishing I could unsee that bullshit
Low budget movies = high return on investment. He's a great director
Back then, I had no idea who Shyamalan was. I saw that TLA was getting a movie and I was really excited but being a high schooler, I didn't exactly have the ride or the money to see it when it was in theaters. So, I never got to see it and still haven't. Granted, I know enough from cultural osmosis and crap ton of reviews what the movie is about.
trashy opinion ngl. he made a bad movie, we get it. he’s made plenty of good movies since and prior to the last air bender that i and many others are glad exist. so who cares? no one is forcing you to watch the duds…
His movies are making 10 times of it's budget
For some weird reason I always root for M. Night to make a good movie because when he does I always love them. But for the love of god when he doesn’t they’re awful. Signs is my favorite of his films. Such a fantastic movie about building tension.
Signs is amazing. I also have a soft spot for lady in the water. I feel like pre-stranger things and MCU audiences weren’t ready for Lady in the water which fused mythology and fantasy into the mundane everyday world. I reckon it plays better today than 17 years ago.
I liked signs until someone poked holes in the alien logic for me… water can kill them? Let’s go to the planet covered by 75% of it where it clouds and literally falls from the sky at different times
@@jimobrienacoustic For me, the family dynamic was more interesting.
@@jimobrienacoustic it wasn’t the water. It was contaminated water. The little girl states that it’s contaminated several times. Not sure why people think it’s purely H2O.
@@One21Jiggawatts it is purely H20. The reasoning for why she thinks it’s contaminated and leaves cups of water everywhere around the house is paid off at the end when the cups of water around the house is used by the uncle to smack onto the alien and kill it.
Saw this film tonight! Dave KILLED IT, but honestly every actor had an amazing performance
You have to be kidding me. Besides Batista and the two fathers everyone else was pretty bad. The plot was terrible. Like hello show different news stations to try and convince them instead of turning the TV on for 10 seconds on 1 channel. Drove me nuts. Ending had no twist and was so dull. Just a bad film. One of Shamalyns worst.
@@Trav2733 How does showing TV programs have anything to do with the acting? The acting was superb compared to most of Nights films
@@Trav2733 You obviously never saw Lady in the water or Avatar Last Air Bender lol…
@@bobbyfischer9927 I wasn’t comparing the TV to the acting. Simply saying the way the tried to convince the couple with the tv clips was so horrible. They showed 1 news channel the entire time for like 30 seconds then turn it off. Like flip around and show them it’s all over! Instead they used the trust me I had visions tactic. Like just unbelievably dumb. And yeah the 3 actors other than Batista were so unconvincing in their pleas and explanations. Didn’t connect with them at all. Didn’t connect with any character honestly
@@Trav2733 I can agree somewhat. I thin the Rupert Grint and the two gals were pretty good though. I do still think this is his best film since Split. Before that was Signs hahah.
Love to see Big Dave get his flowers! He works hard and has definitely progressed beyond more than just a movie star!
Love the work you do Jeremy❤️👍🏼 thank you for being a part of our lives for so many years. Hope you’re doing well
I think I’ve been subbed to this channel since like 2007 I think.
@@Domzdream 2010 here. His reviews are honest, hilarious, and to the point. Love it. I need a movie review I go to this guy.
Your comment got hearted by Jeremy Jahns.
It brings me great joy to see my absolute favorite wrestler from when I was a child do so well for himself. He's such a talented actor & seems like a good person in general. Seeing him in more central roles is exciting, I hope he continues to find success!
BAUTISTA BOMB!!!
I mean in a way the reason a few wrestlers become big actors is because wrestling is acting in itself
@@Not_sheilsy04 For sure! Wrestlers are already used to reading scripts, being directed, rehearsing, etc. It feels like a natural transition.
@@Not_sheilsy04idk of u remember john Cena being in movies back in the day his acting was pretty bad imo at least he's better in the fast franchise
@@Bungalow339 I didn't mean they were good actors lmao, the rock has done extremely well tho, he's actually a decent actor but I guess that's because he mostly plays himself aha
I guess I just always had a soft spot for these underdog actors ... so when Dave Bautista, a muscle-packed wrestler, keeps on showing everyone that he's a really good actor, that in itself brings me joy. He also seems like a nice guy.
I have always said that Dave Bautista and his acting is who the Rock thinks he is. I have not watched a bad movie with Dave, he just gives the set energy and he is a underrated actor!
The rock is goofy it's hard to take any character of his seriously. He can give a decent performance once and a while but always shallow as far as character depth.
The rock gets so much hate to no reason it’s insane💀 he’s so positive & uplifting and all anybody does is talk shit. Your either racist or dumb as a rock, he’s brought so many ideas to life your just hating
Pausing the video to say how spot on you are, Denis Villeneuve absolutely skyrocketed Bautistas career with that cameo in Blade Runner 2049, so happy to see him get more work in the industry.
I'd say it was guardians that sky rocketed Bautista lol
I saw the move last night, and I really liked the film. Solid tension-filled thriller and good Shyamalan. I had read the book and even with the major deviations, including the ending, I thought Shyamalan did a good job staying faithful to the feel of the original story while making a film that stands on its own.
The ending of the film ruined the ENTIRE adaptation retroactively. The hell did Shyamalan have to remove the awesome ambiguity? That was what made the novel so great. Readers could have different views on if it were real or not, which also makes the drama that much more intense. The other major deviation was stupidity. The WHOLE point of the gun was wasted and it removed a HUGE amount of guilt the one father feels. So dumb.
I did not know this was a book.
Didn’t feel any tension throughout the movie personally. Legit thought it was a comedy as soon as the planes started falling from the sky.
@@OberynTheRedViper i haven’t read the book but I feel like a more ambiguous ending would have been way better. Also at the point the guy has a gun I definitely would have shot them both and got the family out of there.
You're absolutely right. It's either a hit or miss for m night shyamalan movies. I think he needs a guiding hand in the editing room to get his ideas from paper to screen better.
You should get in the editing room by sounds of it
@@Pukez91 I wish I had the training to even begin to properly advise him. 🥺 But I think he could take some structure examples from the guys behind denis Villeneuve Arrival. Could be a nice nudge for pacing as they seemed to have a good idea making that.
This movie is based on a short novel by Paul Tremblay that absolutely broke me, the tension, the emotions and the surreal yet realistic story are just incredible. I also tend to like Shyamalan's more "minimalist" works, and this plot fits right in, imo. Just hope it does the book justice.
Great book! Love his writing
I liked the book ... until the ending (or lack of) I just spoke with someone who saw the movie and Shyamalan changed up the second half and ending. Couple big book plot points were completely changed ... which is acceptable since it's an adaptation. I just remember hating the ending of the book. Like being on a rollercoaster and it stops at the top of the hill and tells you get off the ride.
@@soyner I think the book ending worked well for a novel. It wasn't exactly what I expected, but there was a point where the story felt less about the world or the apocalypse and more about the people, so the ambiguity didn't bothered me that much after a moment of reflection.
But yeah, it probably wouldn't work well on a movie. I don't mind changes, as long as they're good ones, and I'm curious to see what they did to adapt the end.
I very much disliked the film's ending. I wish they would have kept the novel's.
@@elizahepner-ray I actually disliked both endings, unfortunately.
I made a short movie in highschool that featured 4 murderous zealots that showed up to the door to "spread the word"(only to get inside the house) and although it was a cheap, corny high school project I got a A because I showed the dad watching a old western flick, and had the sound of the horses stomping hooves fade into the knock at the door to represent the 4 horsemen. I dont see why big, high budget dierectors cant implement more tools like that, that make it obvious but still "clickable" were its not right in your face.
That's awesome! Are you interested in directing?
High school had big Scorcese energy bruh NGL 💪🏿
Can i see the short film?
Just got out of the theater! It was good! Not perfect but a solid 7. It really reminded me of the ending of Cabin In The Woods, which I think handled the whole “apocalypse” thing better than this film. But it was very suspenseful and a fun time! Bautista was PHENOMENAL! He really blew me away with his performance!
7 !? You’re kidding right? This movie was so meh. A bunch of idiots that couldn’t even leave the TV on or change channels to try and convince the couple it was real. Instead just said “we had visions” lol. No backstory with these visions either. Just poorly written. Literally one action sequence with a wave. And that ending are you kidding me. Kills the partner and happily ever after? Didn’t even show us what happened to the world.
@@Trav2733 dude, piss off. You can't be such a no lifer replying to every comment who praises this movie, we get it, you don't like it, someone else does and deal with that and move on
@@Trav2733 isn't that the point? So there still a chance that you might think they're just some nutheads in a cult?
@@nekonebitan2912 actually I can. I like hearing rebuttals against the reasons I disliked the movie.
@@Trav2733 Nah bro you're just annoying (no hard feelings). You can't make other people dislike the movie just because you're going around and telling everyone how bad it is
I think that the four horsemen explanation was an avenue for deeper exploration. A rabbit trail if you will. We notice that there are 4 of them, but how many noticed their professions were diametrically opposed to the avatar they represented? Or that their shirt colors coincided with the color of the Horseman that they were supposed to represent? The nurse (life saver) in the pale cream-colored shirt represented death. The electrician (a supplier of a life bearing utility) who wore red represented War. The cook (one who feeds and sustains life) who wore black represented Pestilence/Famine. Finally, the teacher (an instructor and educator) wore white and represented Conquest. Sometimes the obvious was meant to draw you in for a deeper reflection. Love the channel and all your work!
I really enjoyed this movie. A truly inventive thriller where no one is really the bad guy: One group believes they are preventing the apocalypse, the other does everything to save his family, and convinces himself that the group is crazy. I loved the exploration of masculinity in this film, how someone could go down the role of protecter in a great way, but sometimes goes too far. Truly not something I expected from the same guy who made The Happening.
Completely disagree. Besides Batista and the two fathers everyone else was pretty bad actors. The plot was terrible. Like hello show different news stations to try and convince them instead of turning the TV on for 10 seconds on 1 channel. Drove me nuts. Ending had no twist and was so dull. Just a bad film. One of Shamalyns worst.
@@Trav2733 original novel ending was more open .
@@Trav2733 you are just commenting the same thing over and over again on people liking the movie. Just admit your wrong and move on
@@MariaRodriguez-hb4ix what was the original ending in the novel?
@@jdfoster23 only the couple survive. The kid died by accident.
You never knew if the Apocalypse was real and only they survive . Or if what the “ Riders “ told was a lie and no Apocalypse happened. Or if was just a dream and nothing really happened.
Excited to see Dave furthering his acting chops but Jeremy, you're fantastic as what you do! Excited to hear your reviews. Thx homie!!
Dave Bautista continues to surprise all of us
This movie is going to give Groff so much recognition… recognition that he deserves. He is phenominal. I’ve grown up with him and his family for my entire life. Love them all and so proud of him 🤍
this movie sucked
@@michaelmentality that’s ur opinion. I still am going to watch. maybe you are right! but I’m going to take the chance for my family friend
The movie was awesome
@@BeastMode19799 I’m so excited. I’m hoping to see it this weekend!
I love Jonathan Groff in Mindhunter. I wish so badly that they'd make another season!! And let's not forget that he was in Hamilton and Frozen :D
Seeing Jeremy comment about HISHE feels like a cross-over episode
I saw it last night and I am still ruminating. I thought Ben Aldridge was standout excellent, but all the cast were. Some very interesting visual storytelling/framing from Shyamalan and his Cinematographers here and just a general sense of dread throughout. Despite it ending in such a way that I don't normally like, in context of what this story was about I was okay with it (despite deviating from the book). I think it will be divisive, but there was enough to enjoy here with the performances, visual storytelling choices, and the thematic/philosophical aspects that warrant further discussion long after seeing it. It's a film that stays with you I think.
I think you would LOVE the book it’s adapted from if you haven’t already read it. It pretty much solves all of the negative aspects of the movie and ground the story into a balls to the wall ambiguous thriller. I still really liked the movie too, but the novels final act hits so much harder.
What I really enjoyed about The menu is that it just presents its story as is and leaves all the interpretations to the viewer, the film does not consider its duty to explain any possible alegory contained within it but trusts you to do it. I have my own interpretation of the film that I honestly haven't seen any youtube video even mention, and I truly appreciate that and I believe that's a movie I will keep on thinking about for some time to come and keep recomending it to people
What?
Wrong movie.
@@JustinSimpson tbh I was trying to reffer to 3:00 mark in the video when Jeremy talks about the similar topic
@@pavlemilatic3900 who’s Jimmy? You commenting on the right video?
Saw this last night and it was an incredible job by all the actors but especially Dave Bautista. It certainly was one of MKS best movies in awhile. The camera work and cinematography was near perfect. Highly recommend.
M Night's movies have always really relied on the strength of the actors to lead the story. Even if the story is very weak.
Brilliantly acted, beautifully shot. Always had me guessing to where it was going. It was excellent.
I legit feel like I watched a complete different movie from everyone in this comment section. It was okay acted for the two fathers and well done for DB. The only thing it had me at was I wasn’t sure if the “apocalypse” part was real after two people died. As soon as it was confirmed with the planes I immediately knew what the rest of the movie was. Honestly laughed from that point on and thought it was a comedy movie. Didn’t care about any of the characters or anything. The only thing I can walking out that was interesting is that the people who had to decide were homosexual. In a male/female couple the parents could decide to save the world by killing the child because they can logically have more kids. Which means that one of the fathers is going to die. Spelling out that the four horseman were the literally the people was just dumbing the whole hour and forty minutes down to 30 seconds for me. That’s just my opinion though.
@@EvOxDrama yup you watched a different movie or you went with stupidly high expectations
Really enjoyed this movie. It reminded me of the trolly dilemma in psychology as well as just ethical dilemmas in general. I always enjoy M Night’s films and your reviews.
You need to see "I Am Mother", if you haven't already. That dilemma plays a big part in the movie.
the trolley dilemma is easy to solve if the people on the track are your family and the rest are strangers
@@SinisterAnimationS but, that’s not the scenario.
I am glad for dave batista is growing and developing his acting chops, really like the dude and most of the movies he makes. Cheering for him and will check this movie cuz of him.
thank you for keeping your videos short and sweet. its much better instead ofa 20 min breakdown like other channels
Your Billy Butcher cosplay is coming along nicely 👌
Seeing Jonathan groff and Anna Torv recently in other projects makes me want a mindhunter season 3
FUCKING S A M E
Bro your so good at movie reviews I mean I know u worked at a theater and u been doing this for awhile. But it’s like your so literate and you provide fun explanations of events that other reviewers don’t do. Shits awesome bro your a great RUclipsr
He's been doing this since 13 years, he has found his calling in reviewing movies.
@@everythingisawesome2903 it’s awesome
The Menu is a great example of a recent movie that doesn't force feed you all the subtleties and allows you find them for yourself upon rewatch or with video breakdowns. The goats leading them onto the island, Judas Goats are something slaughterhouses use to keep the cattle calm when going into said slaughterhouse. Chef says no substitutions are allowed at his restaurant, regarding the food, but Margo is a substitution for the person who was originally supposed to go. Things like that feel more clever when they're not expressly pointed out.
Dude, every movie Batistas in I like. He's really a great actor.
Dave was phenomenal he really is such an amazing actor and i love that he isn't afraid to make movies and show and prove that HE IS AN ACTOR
Recently found your channel and I'm a new subscriber. I love that your reviews don't contain spoilers, so they can help me decide if I want to see a film! I also love that they are intelligent, short, and to the point. Pretty sure by now you've found what works for you. However I'd really like to see you score movies, like on a 1-5 scale.
From memory, the lowest rating is dogshit. Next is forgotten in t minus 2 seconds. Next is a good time, no alcohol required. Then there’s worth buying on bluray/4K, then finally, the best rating is Awesometacular. So, using that system, this movie was rated a 3. I love jeremys reviews too, they’re a great length and he really clearly states why a movie is, or is not good, without spoiling anything.
@@sum1rllyspecial thank you!
In advance sorry for possible typos. English is not my native language and I have dylexia.
He has a video on his channels front page explaining his raiting system. Dogshit is the worst raiting he can give a movie and awesometacular is the best raiting. Everything else falls in between and should not necessarily be boxed into places in a hierarchy. Movies that he rates good time if you are drunk can also be good or bad. Sometimes it means alcohol is needed to endure to get through the movie sometimes alcohol just enhances the experience. Jeremy thinks there are great masterfully done movies that just don't hit him on a personal level. He doesn't want to rate a movie better or worse based on his own personal preferences. However if you want to simplified version it generally works from worst to best like this:
Bad movies
Dogshit=not worth watching; usually top 10 worst movies of the year consist of movies that get this rating
Not going to remember in T-minus=forgettable but not terrible
Might be good/Might be bad
Good time if you are drunk=whether you like it depends. Might be fun but don't watch if you think it will ruin your day.
Good movies
Good time no alchol required=Some peoples favourite movies can get this rating. It just means Jeremy himself is propably not going to buy it. If you are at all interested and have the time and money you should check it out.
Buy on Blu Ray=a movie that Jeremy has or is going buy on blu ray. If your tastes are similar to Jeremys you might like it too.
Great movies
Awesometacular=Jeremy is a fanboy of this movie. Top 10 movies of the year list usually consists of movies that got this rating. Theses movies are not all Oscar winners or perfect but Jeremy definetly enjoys them. If Jeremy is a fan of a certain IP and the movie in his opinion does justice to the fanchise then he is very likely to give it this raiting.
During the movie, I was really happy to have an answer at the end. I needed it for emotional well-being haha.
But as I was driving home, I kind of wished it was open-ended. It would have been fun to hear people’s thoughts on if it was real or not.
Cheers to sir for your years of service and opinions
M Night’s brilliant symbolism will NOT go unnoticed
Which means it probably will go unnoticed.
Jeremy’s rating system will forever be my favorite way to rate a movie. So practical ,relatable and sets me up pre movie for a correct expectation. 👍🏽
Loved the Chess vs Checkers analogy. Filmmakers need to stop thinking their audience is stupid. There are so many that break down the details and those "aha" moments are as cool as Jeremy described.
That negative is something I see happening a lot in films and television these days - details and puzzle pieces being explained in no uncertain terms to the audience. I've always felt it's more fun if we have to come to conclusions ourselves about what's happening in a story. And it's cool if the story stops short of simply explaining it, but as long as it's ultimately left for us to come to the conclusion ourselves.
Anyways, if that's the biggest issue with this film going in, I'm already excited!
Alright, just got back from seeing it and I liked it! Solid 7 out of 10. As per usual, Shyamalan’s directing was beautiful. All of our protagonists made sense, so there weren’t any “why would they do that” moments to take me out of it. I will say the film played it pretty safe, but I’d rather have a solid safe movie than a film that picks all the wrong ways to be edgy.
All things considered, it's incredible M Night's career survived "Last Airbender." It really felt like he didn't care about making a movie that did justice to the source material. And Will Smith saying that getting his son involved in "After Earth" was the biggest mistake of his career (well the biggest mistake prior to last year's Oscars) only damaged M Night's reputation even more.
He self finances his movies dude
He made and is still making many more films after After Earth. What reputation damage??
@@VARMOT123 Self finances his movies probably cause he made so many Big flops. That's why the channel described him as "the embodiment of hit or miss".
Jarin Blaschke (from ROBERT EGGERS' movies) is the cinematographer of this one
That's why it so good to look at
I mean M.Night movies always have great visual styles. Never forget- M. Night got roger deakins on The Villag
@@nms7872 And Mike Gioulakis for Old! He always gets good cinematographers it seems.
Hey Jeremy, I just want to say that I really love watching your videos! I always feel better after watching one of them!
the first review I saw of yours was for Avatar 13 years ago, love you dude
Wish you'd mentioned it's an adaptation, as that informs a lot, especially regarding the ending.
I haven’t seen the move but I’ve read the book: The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay (great book by the way). The ending of the book is crazy ambiguous so I’m interested to see what ending this movie has if it’s not ambiguous. I think the stories strength in the novel is it’s ambiguity. Still excited for the movie though!
I think it being based on a book may be the reason they do the awkward saying facts out loud thing.
In the book was the couple gay men?
@@rmmm6725 Yes.
@@rmmm6725 yes they were
Finally someone acknowledging that this was a book.
Everyone going on making it sound like this was from the mind if MNS .
The book was better too, he was too much of a coward to kill of the little girl like in the book.
Fun fact the four people who show to the family are wearing the colors of the four horsemen (White, Black, Red, and Pale)
The directing, cinematography and acting in this film are AMAZING. Just the story doesn’t pay off. Still a good theatrical experience.
story was perfect.
Having read the book the movie is based on, the whole Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse was in the book and spoonfed to the reader, and the book itself didn't challenge the reader on its topics, so I understand what Shyamalan was dealing with while adapting the book.
I just got out of seeing this movie, and as soon as I go on my phone I see that you've posted your review. What are the chances! Anyway, I really did love this film. I love how it keeps you guessing with who is right and who is wrong, and overall I had a fantastic time. I'll need to reflect on the film a little more, but this could end up being my favourite Shyamalan film.
Easily his worst film. So poorly written and acted. Acting besides Batista and the two fathers was awful. The 4 horseman ppl did the absolute worst job in trying to convince the couple it was real. Leaves the tv on for 10 seconds then shuts it off. Didn’t bother changing channels lol.. instead tried convincing them with the visions, like really. And that ending was so dull. “Kill me” ok boom. World is ok now yaaay. Like what. What’s interesting about that. Didn’t even get to see what all happened around the world they just drive off in a truck lol.
@@Trav2733 dude, piss off. You can't be such a no lifer replying to every comment who praises this movie, we get it, you don't like it, someone else does and deal with that and move on
I really enjoy all your reviews, and I'm really on the hair train - loving the new cut. 👍😎😁👍
Thank you for still doing this Jeremy.
Probably M. Night’s best in awhile. Really liked it and kept me interested the whole time
Just saw the movie,it was amazing imo,m knight is such a creative artist. I admire his work. After watching this video it just hit me that the entirety of the movie takes place at the cabin and doesn't adventure out from there
I love that we have M.night shamalyan and Quinton tarinteno and many others as they each add their own flavour to the industry.
Shyamalan really needs to have restrictive, low budgets. Those are generally his best movies. Give him too much freedom, and it all just goes to hell.
Did u even read what u wrote there!? It made absolutely no sense at all. He need absolute freedom to make amazing film. He made dud when big studio watches over him n restricted his involvement
Saw it last night. Loved it. It had me thinking after the movie. That's art.
Jeremy Jahns is a smart ass. Some people would've never caught that 4 horsemen reference ever!!! We needed that detail in the movie!!!
Been watching this legends vids every Friday for the last 10 years 😂😂 and some days in between! Never change bro!
Why only Fridays?
@@everythingisawesome2903 when his new new drops. Trust, I’ve spent many days ending in “Y” binging the champ!
What I find a great mystery does is hide the details that give yhe movie away. Either bury the clues, keep them in the background out of focus, make it a piece of diolgue that seems vague but important enough that isn't obviously being covered, those kinds of things. Like I'd say The Chamber of Secrets book did it well and take notes from that. Also film makers trust your audience! If they don't get it, but it makes sense, they'll love it. If they catch it before on their first watch, that's cool too but would be cool if they felt like they earned it!
Agreed. The best film for that was The Prestige, I think.
I will always be awe M night is still in the film industry
I enjoyed this film quite a bit and was especially impressed by Batista's performance. I made the "four horsemen of the apocalypse" connection before it was even mentioned in the movie.
After seeing sooo many ads for the movie, I’ve been waiting for Jeremy’s review
Saw this in Dolby!! enjoyed it. Love all his wacky twist climax Parts in movies 😍
3:15 a perfect example of this is just the other day I was watching kill count it was the one of stranger things season 3 and I stopped watching it about a quarter the way in and started to go to sleep when suddenly a realisation hits me, first let me explain so season 3 starts with rats eating fertiliser then turning into goop, a old woman is also seen eating the fertiliser and later she also turns into meat paste, the show never says why this happens, so as I’m laying down doing my best impression of someone sleeping my brain is ticking over and boom it hits me in season 2 it’s a plot point that the pumpkins are going rotten turns out there growing over tunnels filled with upside down biome which is making them go off so the humans can’t eat them and there even to far gone for animal feed so they will most likely have been turned into fertiliser that is of course full of upside down fungus.
The show never says anything of this heck after the second episode of season 3 I don’t think the fertiliser is mentioned again it just lets it sit there for you to put together (btw I haven’t seen the last of us but I now hear that’s also how it all goes to poop because food chain) I’m actually a little embarrassed that it took me that long to spot the link but it’s almost a throwaway plot.
Can’t wait to see it Saturday, nice review Jeremy
Can't believe it's been eleven years since that one video ranting about the Mass Effect 3 ending which was my introduction to Jeremy.
I like the fact m night usually swings for the fences with his movies premises
Honestly, Bautista is the best wwe actor. He is killing it now!!
I love this guys articulation. To the point but informative. A lot of reviews trash the movie but it’s still entertaining. And it’s a Shamalan film. Thanks brother!
Personally this was the best movie I've seen this year behind Air. Really caught me off guard.
It's a perfect example of Harmon's story circle & Campbell's hero's journey done to perfection which lot of modern movies completely miss.
The movie engages the viewer with ultimatum/choice which is the main theme of the movie along with sacrifice.
I do agree that it's not as 'vague' compared to his older films but we're living in a time where audience have shorter attention span than ever.
And rather than using violence for violence sake, it's used to keep the pace & tension from falling too far after revealing the hand.
Amazing acting from all the cast, especially Bautista & Kirsten who greets & hooks the viewer from the opening just with dialogue.
I wish they make more movies like where storytelling is the focal point rather than cgi action.
Just watched this yesterday and it was incredible. Absolutely loved it. I think a lot of people are too focused on the "twist" and missing the central theme of sacrifice in the movie. It was beautifully crafted.
Totally agree
@@tovolumeI think the “twist” is who the four people represent and how it was explained at the end
I saw it yesterday, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Sometimes, it's good to just go to a movie with no expectations and let the movie do its thing.
@JF3 Except most people knew that right from the get go. I mean all I watched was the trailer first and I knew basically what the entire movie was. It was clear they were the four horsemen. It also clear they were eventually going to sacrifice themselves.
@@TheNichq I didn’t catch it from the trailer or early in the film. Guess I’m the slow one lol
Awesome video as always. just a couple things though
1: You got some grays going now Jahns
2: Isnt descibing something as either hit or miss kind of moot, when hit or miss is the only outcomes available?
Haven’t seen it yet but loved the book “Cabin at the end of the world” so excited to see it!
Gotta love it when a movie tries something original for once. Past few decades the industry/community has been oversaturated with remakes an such. I just hope we don't get to a point where we praise everything new that's original.
He’s legitimately the best all around actor that used to be a wrestler. I think he is a real actor
He’s doing Blumhouse super low budget stuff that does crazy returns now. Split was also 🔥
I agree, would have preferred if certain things remained vague but overall I enjoyed it. Bautista is quickly becoming my favorite wrestler turned actor
If only it was a continuation of cabin in the woods, now that would be cool.
Disagree. That movie works well as a stand alone. It wrapped everything up nicely. That being said, without spoiling, how the hell would you even make a continuation given the ending?
@LesaneM Just do one of the other countries failing. Or just a prequel. Or what happens after the gods woke up. Or when they found the rules, and started the sacrifice stuff. Or....
@@putinmahcochin1636 the world got fucked after the gods woke up, that's what happened lmao
They should make a sequel with 3 dads and a son.
Watched this tonight and personal opinion aside, I honestly hated how the news got that Tsunami footage because everyone was clearly dead, there’s no way to send that, there’s no way the phone was still working underwater lmao. Took me out of it
It’s a movie about God ending the world and the idea of a waterproof phone took you out of it?
I knew Dave Bautista had this in him in 2005 when he had a wrestling storyline with Triple H (I am a huge wrestling fan.) I am super proud of him and to see him go from wrestling to a very successful career as an actor is something I love.
Shockingly I didn’t get the horseman reference until they mentioned in and I’m actually glad they did.
Once you read what the movie changed from the original book its such a shame he didnt keep the original story for the movie.. i would've love to see the movie and the characters play out just like the book all the way to the end.. such a miss.. it could've been so much better 😪
I heard that MNS had a new movie coming out but didn't give it a 2nd thought until I saw a trailer and realized it was based on one of my favorite horror book of all time, "Cabin at thte end of the world" by Paul Trembley. And it's not even his best book! Look out for the adaptation of his "A head full of ghosts" (along with Pet semetary, the best horror I've read) that is rumored to be on its way.
I enjoyed this movie; I think he comes up with original ideas and his movies are like poems. It always starts with a mystery and ends with a conclusion. M. Night cares far more about the journey than the destination, and the ride was interesting. If, however, you care about the destination; the reveal then you will hate his movies.
I never see it discussed anywhere but I really enjoy servant, it’s a good shamyalan show!👍🏼
I will always watch M Night stuff , no hesitation
I really liked it. Bautista almost had me in some tears by the end
Yes he was great
Hey Jeremy, loved the video! This movie piqued my interest but I wasn't sure whether it was enough to go see it in theaters - now I think I might! But just wanted to let you know that your description has a typo in the title where it says "KNOT" instead of "KNOCK". Probably autocorrect rearing its ugly head. Thanks again for covering this movie!
Don’t waste your money it’s awful.
Jeremy's hair is downright breathtaking. Get on that "Keeps" subscription there, big dawg.
I cant wait to see it. I really liked the book
Well now there’s another movie I want to watch.
Your review system has inspired me to create something similar of my own, it’s not based on numbers but icons such as the best is a treasure chest and then there is a bunch of stuff i between, and the worst is a trash can.
Jeremy, can you review Babylon when it comes to VOD? So keen to hear your thoughts on it!
If you're wondering if the movie is any good or not, notice that all the raves aren't about the movie but about Bautista. There's your answer.
I liked this movie because I read the book it was based on, and I loved how faithful M. Night was in adapting it, he did change the ending but I think that was to give it something more hopeful, whereas the book ending is very drab.
