Weird. It has a 77 on Metacritic which is pretty damn good.

The reviews seemed like they were all overly impressed by the finale which made them forget the generic and bad beforehand. Sort of like Jurassic world: one well place set piece can blind critics/audiences.

I see this having great WOM because of this.

Or maybe audiences (and critics) have the movie redeemed for them in one great act? I know that's what you are kinda saying, but you make it sound like the critics/audiences shouldn't be enjoying the movie because of that. Edited by Jayhawk

I am saying both. I personally don't find that movies work that way. It just comes off as uneven and lazy. But I sale hi it could work as redemption. I don't know.

I get what you're saying but to me the a movie's payoff is far more important than the set up. I won't give a perfect score to a movie with bad first or second act but a great ending or climatic act probably adds an extra point or two. Edited by KATCH 22

This sounds like it's much more of a must-see-in-IMAX experience than Everest did, and this doesn't have a downer ending that could potentially mar word-of-mouth when it goes wide. Zemeckis has a pretty terrific track record at the box office too (there hasn't been a film of his that doesn't adjust to at least $90M since...1980's Used Cars, his second film), so I'm thinking this will do really well.

Zemeckis really tried his best to be the pioneer in motion capture movies. Just too bad that the Uncanny Valley killed all of them. As per usual, we should have waited for Cameron to come along and perfect it.

but Zemeckis didn't do Mars Needs Moms  :huh:
