Blasted: Les aliens ou nous!

The trailer was so much fun. Such a shame that the middle part was messy and the dialogue+writing needed a lot of sprucing up. I wish the whole movie was as good as the end scene.

Didn't come close to reach the height of Edgar Wright's "Cornetto Trilogy" and the 2 main leads are no Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. But probably budget is the issue, it looked like a 2010 Syfy movie of the week at times. But VFX complaint aside, the 2010 vibe is a plus in my book since we don't get something like this anymore. Overall an ok watch if you don't have anything else.

I don't like slapstick comedy and I didn't think I'd enjoy this. But the trailer look like an Edgar Wright film so I have it a whirl.

The stand out scenes all took place in the police station with the three leads Axel Bøyum, Fredrik Skogsrud and Ingrid Bolsø Berdal. For me this is where the humour was the strongest. Their comic timing was perfect and I can't help but think it would have been a stronger movie had it have been those three stuck in a room during an alien invasion. Ingar Helge Gimle provided nice additional support also.

I found the scenes in the woods with the other buddies set the film back a lot. André Sørum did his best with what he had but one can't help but wonder how much better he'd have fared at the police station with the main players.

It's a movie I'd watch again. It was light hearted fun and just what the world needs in these dark times

6/10.

This film was not as bad as the ratings. It was funny and had good structure. The characters were likeable and each cast member brought fun elements to their role. Making it into an alien film was a good choice as with the added elements of laser tag the film took good direction. Overall a pretty good and fun film that I could see there being a sequel for.

You've seen this before: a silly comedy about aliens invading some isolated place where quirky people find the tools to repel them. And you've seen comedies that rely almost exclusively on the charm of their stars. The actors were charming and fun enough and the premise amusing. The effects were adequate.

However, it was way too silly and unstructured for me to enjoy. Other commenters have suggested I stop overthinking it and just enjoy it. Well, I am an overthinker, so this film is clearly not for me. Not that it wasn't funny, but I had to skip large portions of it and in the end I just wanted to get it over with.

Bottom line: adequate, but not recommended.

Don't get the low score? Deserves a least a 6 or 6,5 in my book. It's was a lot of fun! Great execution and funny actors who nailed the buddy tongue-in-cheek action. I liked it was Norwegian and it is very well made. I wouldn't mind a continuation of the story.
