Blasted

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.

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.

It was very late and I was bored and this popped up on some movie service I have and I don't remember which. I happened to see the title while looking for something else to watch tonight and thought I would write a review for it.

It reminded me of Tucker and Dale which had me in stitches for the first hour. Tucker and Dale is a better movie on many levels but that doesn't mean this is unwatchable. I had to get past a few thing, like the way they talk and the slow start. I never fell asleep and ended up watching the whole thing. There were some genuine laughs for what is obviously a low production. I would give it a go some time.

It never happened to me to watch a movie and hate absolutely every character. It's really amazing that a director can screw up everything in a movie. Waste of opportunity and a waste of time for me, because I watched it until the end.

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.
