The Bad Batch

This is my first review, literally joined to rate this movie. The premise had potential, but fell more than short, I mean, seriously short.

This film started off okay but soon fell of a cliff edge into a meandering, coma inducing piece of narcissism.While it tries to edgy and original it is cliched and dull - by the hour mark I was struggling to follow the story, and struggling even more to stay awake.

Well, I watched it. I kept thinking it would get better...

It started with to long drawn out start that immediately made me think this is going to be bad. It picked up for a few minutes and steady went down from there.

Im kind of amazed at all the bad reviews on here . Im guessing they didn't get the point of the movie .

This film has split the reviewers. Mostly, they either love it or hate it.

It may be because of the high hopes instilled with such a star studded cast, but this film was very much a waste of 2 hours of my life. It lacks a functioning plot, the setting is plain and redundant, and the dialogue is almost non existant.

This movie was a pleasant surprise for me, but I do understand why others are leaving some bad reviews. The movie doesn't shy away from showing you the slower parts of what life would be like in the world they created.

There was a time when the opportunity to direct a film meant breaking rules and pushing boundaries but this dystopia flick was directed like a Hallmark channel spouse abuse saga reenactment. Amirpour saved all her creativity for an LSD scene.
