AMAZE AMAZE AMAZE!!!!

I had heard this was phenomenal, but I hadn’t truly prepared myself for just how good it would actually be. A decade defining space exploration film that channels everything I loved about its predecessors into something truly fantastic. Time Go Fishing is easily one of my new favorite score/scene combinations, it had me practically levitating out of my seat. 

Gosling is terrific as Grace and Sandra Huller couldn’t be more perfect for Stratt. 

My only complaint is…

This was f***in brutal, it *wastes* (pun possibly intended) no time setting its dark grimy tone. Jonsson is truly sensational here. His character here reminds me a lot of his character from Romulus. Blyth is the star of the show here. A purely smarmy, mean and possibly downright evil performance. He’s a psychopath through and through here and I couldn’t get enough of it. 

This is also phenomenally directed, especially for a debut feature. The cinematography is so claustrophobic and…

On paper this film was built for me, a lovecraftian archeology psychological thriller that spends most of its runtime channeling the criminally underrated The Empty Man. The acting can be very rough at times considering that this is very obviously an amateur film, but I also think that works as part of its charm. I adored the third act with its eventual reveal and an almost out of place fantastically shot “action” sequence. 

My biggest, and in all honesty, only…

Bar the absolute dogwater, godawful, terrible, stinky poo poo S3 I’ve been a big fan of the Krasinski run of Jack Ryan and this has been no different. Solid acting, espionage and some pretty superb action carry this through its weaker parts. I also really liked how so much of this was the Michael Kelly show as I’ve always considered him one of the most underrated actors working. Sienna Miller is always a delight as well and she kills it…
