The Thinning

Just a few nitpicky things that will drive you nuts.

1) This is a thinning of the population via testing scores. So why are all the security guards so stupid. Also, who is going to want to work at Burger Queen? 2) A test this important that can easily be cheated or manipulated..not likely 3) No funerals for the people killed? 4) I was gathering from the dialog that Texas has this test but other states may not. Why live there? (or in the USA if it the only testing country) 5) Did I mention the guards... not only are they stupid, they can't fight either 6) There is no twist at the end because wouldn't there be fewer people to take the test each year, hence no need to make LOTS of testing machines?

I didn't really know what to expect from it being a YoutubeRed movie and Logan Paul is in it.. so I kind of pictured a horrible acting, low quality sort of movie. But low and behold it wasn't that at all. I rather enjoyed it. I mean I wouldn't say it's the best movie I've seen but I'd watch it again for sure. I mean I want to see the second one so that's sort of telling within itself.

How? How can a plot have that many holes in it?! Not only that, but the amount of dead weight within the plot that either lead to nothing in particular or provided no depth to the overall arch of the story line and just flopped. The acting was cringe worthy at best and although it's an interesting idea, the whole YouTube starts a production company thing, if you're going to do it YouTube, please, do it right. Giving YouTube or in this case Vine stars a platform to fulfill their 5 second dream of being an actor might initially bring viewers but I can guarantee it'll be short lived. Nothing and I do mean nothing that I've watched off Red seems to have a hint of intelligent thought in it, and this was no exception.

The culling of dumb people. Seems like a good idea, unfortunately I'd probably be culled along with them lol. The film itself turned out pretty good. I think people should be judged by their social media comments instead and get rid of the a-holes of the world.

I remember seeing this back awhile in 2018 and it was one of the most horrifying movies I've ever seen from 2016. This movie was a disorganized mess but I see where this was going. If you were on this movie and you got culled, our hearts go out to you cause you didn't make it. But movies that have went straight to streaming have spit out garbage cause they don't get the same treatment that big Blockbusters get when they all go out theatrical. And they also get their running time cut too. If you're gonna make a movie, make it longer than 90 minutes otherwise why cause it's just a waste of the studio money and finances.
