If you knew you were to die today, what would you wish to change about the way you lived your life?
This is one of the themes Shyamalan explores in this astutely-directed, mostly tense, high-concept thriller, and it does result in some genuinely intelligent, emotionally resonant character beats that I did not expect.
Unfortunately, some clunky dialogue, a couple bad actors, and too many repetitive scenes that seem to only stretch the runtime prevent this from being the great film that it could have been.

Interesting premise with a contrived letdown of a finale. The film does keep you engaged--just that I was expecting so much more from Shyamalan.
The latest madcap offering from the filmmaker who has made a career out of coming up with truly insane & ambitious ideas over the years (whether he is able to make them work or not in execution being a whole another debate), Old finds the (in)famous writer-director once again experimenting with a crazy concept but the end result is a mixed bag as the film fails to make the most of what was up for grabs.
Written & directed by M. Night Shyamalan (Signs, The Village & The Visit), the story follows a group of tourists who find themselves ageing rapidly on a mysterious & secluded beach. With a lifetime passing in the matter of a single day for all the involved characters, the possibilities worth exploring are endless. However, Shyamalan's erratic direction & bland characterisation prevent the key events to blossom to their full capacity.
There are nonetheless hints of brilliance scattered throughout the picture. It just never unifies into a satisfying whole. The rapid ageing & its debilitating effects is rather unsettling to watch but then the dialogues & performances are so idiotic & over-the-top that we aren't really sure what tone Shyamalan was going for. The film is silly yet serious, fun yet terrifying, thrilling yet amusing, ludicrous yet genius, and is often a cinematic ride of sharp contrasts.
Overall, Old features a premise that not only exhibits promise & potential on paper but is also instantly appealing & downright ambitious. Still, Shyamalan is unable to explore his zany idea to its fullest by failing to weave a compelling narrative around it, thus resulting in a frustrating & confusing experience. He tries to do too much yet only ends up doing too little. All in all, Old has its merits & moments but the ride as a whole feels more or less underwhelming in the end.

I personally think people are being too hard on this movie. It may not be the best from Shyamalan but it kept me entertained the whole way through and had an intriguing and original enough premise to keep me invested. I thought the acting was good and the writing was fine. The dialogue was maybe unnatural at times but overall didn't bother me. I do wish that the reasoning behind it all was a little deeper and more thought through. Seemed a little surface level to me, especially coming from Shyamalan. Overall, good but not great movie. Certainly doesn't deserve a 1/10.
What to watch? The new gi joe? How about f9? No I think we will settle for old.
This movie is unlike any movie I've ever seen, the acting is strange, the plot is strange, the camera work is nauseating at times. And some of the reveals are not done amazingly.
But at least its original, the plot makes sense, and when talking about it to my friends I found I always had the proper answer for peoples actions and decision making.
The best characters are midsized sidan and the crazy doctor and his wife.
The movie has many scenes of exposition that is not hid very well, but overall I think its a movie that begs being seen. I in no way regret watching it and in fact want to watch it again to solidify my opinion .
In a time with a lot of movies that you have already seen I guarantee that love it or hate it, you haven't seen anything like it.

- ट्रिवियाThe film is an adaptation of a 2010 graphic novel by writer Pierre-Oscar Lévy and artist Frederik Peeters called Sandcastle. When asked what inspired him to adapt the book to film, director M. Night Shyamalan explained: "The book gave me the opportunity to work through a lot of anxieties I had around death and aging, and things like my parents getting older."
- गूफ़When they remove the tumor from Prisca, many characters put their hands into the incision. The characters do not wash their hands before touching the open incision. Later in the film, Charles is infected by a cut from a rusty knife. Following this logic, Prisca's incision should have become infected and caused sepsis, killing her.
