Bad movies are not all the same, shame on you cinephiles, voting down a near masterpiece. You do not get it? Let me badxplain it to you... easy with a comparison: take "A wrinkle in time", an Oprah vanity project infused with mountains of Disney cash, horrible acting paired with pretentious nonsense script and a "woke" director that is in way over her head. Journalists and sites artificially maintaining the vote high because of spineless conformism. THAT is a 3 or 4 out of 10, only because the technical departments did their job. The viewers pay full price and believe the hype and ultimately are the victim.

Now, only now, let's have a look at JIU JITSU, the cash is bare minimum, camera is terrible, sound is barely decent, the acting is either desperate attempt to save face or straight horrible: the production is cutting so many corners that they end up with a sphere, the perfect solid. It's sooooo bad that it goes straight to the other side. This film is a monster, in the latin original sense: monstrum, itself derived from the verb moneo ("to remind, warn, instruct, or foretell"), and denotes anything "strange or singular, contrary to the usual course of nature". A marvel of nature, you cannot plan for this stuff: is the collective result of C-List actors desperate for cash and an improvised crew, improbable production standards and a weird 3rd rewrite of the script for a grand total of 7 (!) bucks ticket. That would be enough for a 6,5/7 but... it's got (Oscar winner) Nicolas Cage, the myth. It's a straight 8!!! (and if you stiff upper lips fake connoisseurs don't get it, rewatch some of your beloved pretentious crap and stick to that).

PS It's not perfect because nobody died during production as far as we know.

A very decent sci-fi with acceptable writing and a few original and inspired scenes in a good setting with good actors filmed properly, the whole is entertaining and the art department did an outstanding job on a limited budget.

I can only recommend this movie and praise this project especially when compared to Hollywood's super boring and high cost CGI products. This movie will grant you a pleasant and relaxed experience without stressing your patience or ruining your eyesight.

It is not a masterpiece but definitely worth your time. In fact I would not mind to watch a sequel. If Revolt could represent just the average of what sci-fi movies look like we would live in happier times.

Even certain episodes from golden era Simpsons and some Family Guy are so good you would be pleased to watch those again, maybe once. But Rick and Morty is on another level, not only above, but also sideways. It is a more complicated show with a much more layered story line and less easy jokes and twists that makes for a second view a must and a third a still funny and interesting experience. What I find stunning is the overall constant level of quality: every single episode is well written and every line is relevant, there are no 'filler' characters and surplus dialogue. The result is a polished, mature show that will not let you down, not once. Being such a defined and peculiar art piece Rick and Morty maybe not for everyone. Would you like high quality comedy based on Lovecraftian cosmic horror, existentialism and rationalism with a hint of surreal realism? You might not until you see this.
