non-shill

About 80% of the movie involves close-ups on the main character's face, while he stares in the distance pensively. The other 20% involves the other characters asking why the main character is staring in the distance pensively.

There was some decent acting, but most of it was pretty awful. The kind of bad acting that actually feels embarrassing.

Maybe it's because I was daydreaming about movies that don't suck, but I didn't fully grasp what the situation was -- my apologies for not being up to speed on how farms and all that works. For one thing, who is Stef and why is she giving advice? (That's rhetorical -- I don't care. At all.)

Throw in an anticlimactic ending, and you have yet another "What did I just watch and why is there drool on my chin?"

C'mon, folks, you can't be a serious person and think this movie isn't trash. The problem is, it's a bit difficult to explain exactly why without using spoilers. But I'll try.

Well here's a shortcut to explaining why: Plot holes abound. People do stupid stuff that makes no sense. Stuff you know they wouldn't do (or be allowed to do) IRL.

This isn't a spoiler since it's revealed at the very start of the movie: The "creatures" don't ever go an inch above 8,000 feet of elevation. This is clearly absurd, and is never explained. Oh, and someone very nicely marked the 8,000-foot elevation line on an entire mountain range, and they did so with hyper-precision. So much precision, in fact that you can lie down and rest just beyond the marked line even if there's a creature that was just bearing down on you, because the creature will stop in its tracks. Absurd.

Splash in all the usual contrived garbage, sprinkle in a bunch of nonsensical plot absurdities, and top it off with a laughably absurd conclusion.

And nothing is ever explained. I guess they looked at the garbage script they had and rightly decided it wasn't worth explaining. Good call.
