The Giant

I'm still not sure what I just watched. Was the main girl dead? Was there a meteor storm at the end? Is there an audience for sad girl movies?

The entire time I kept thinking "is there a plot? Is there a damn point to this movie?" I can dig slow movies, but this just dragged. I found myself falling asleep constantly. What was this giant supposed to be? It only got interesting during the last 20 minutes of the film and even that left you with more questions than answers. Such a shame because the acting was okay.

"The Giant" is a teen drama without the drama. It has zero plot whatsoever. Just a bunch of sad teens wandering around not doing much of anything. The ending, if you can call it that, makes zero sense. This steaming heap of crap is just a bunch of random ideas thrown together. The worst part is, you can tell the movie thinks it's a lot smarter than it actually is. The dialogue is lame and not believable coming out of what's supposed to be a high school senior's mouth. It's filled with lines that a 15-year-old would write in a story, read back to himself, and think, "Man that's so deep." Avoid this movie at all costs and save your hour and 40 minutes.

Great cinematography: nice lenses, a guide how cool to shoot on film, how to create a good composition and then how to edit it all correctly. Just wow!

That's all.

Incredibly boring.

The lighting is consistently good, but everything else is just horrid. There is no story. The film is just a collection of incoherent scenes that doesn't explain anything. There are many scenes that are indulgent, and unrelated to the story, such as flowers, fireworks etc. I have absolutely no idea what happened in the film.
