The Creator (2023)
5/10
Visuals Carry
15 October 2023
The visuals are incredibly good for such a low budget.

I heard it was shot on a really small camera that allowed for real shots on location, so the set designers really did some incredible work here.

The CGI is stunning, everything feels real as your watching it and there's only a few minor errors.

Some of the acting was good, but other charecters I thought did poorly, most notably Cotton, but other than that the acting was decent.

But other than that, I don't have a lot of postives to say.

The story is passable at best, it's convulted and you can tell that video essayists are going have to a godamn field day with this, "THE STORY OF THE CREATOR EXPLAINED IN ONLY 17 HOURS" because it is seriously that convulted. Not to mention how most of it is insanely predictable and or plain stupid.

The logic in this movie is nuts, why doesn't anybody appreciate the fact that L. A. got nuked? Why does a robot age? HOW does it age? Not to mention how the robots are basically humans with metal. This movie could've been written with humans nuking AI and Alphie is a human, and it would be the same.

Some parts of the movie feel rushed, and or could've been delivered better.

Other parts feel like they were only created because the writers realized they needed something to set up minor plot elements later.

So yeah, this was just ok, I didn't hate it, but there were certainly a lot of really good and absolutely trash parts.

Cleanly Shot, Executed Well, But Painfully Boring
11 September 2023
The title basically says it all.

I loved Utopia as an album, I thought it was great, and that the features, instrumentals and performance were amazing. And this was supposed to go like hand-in-hand with the album and explain it all.

And in a way, I guess it did, but there's not a whole lot here. It's cleanly shot, almost all of the segments have incredible quality.

Each of the segments.fit their respective tracks quite well, but underneath it all, there's not a whole lot here.

It's painfully boring, there's essentially no plot, what there is is just a couple subplots for a few minute long segments that lead to nothing. I enjoyed the album, but I can take and leave this.

Grimcutty (2022)
1/10
Actual Garbage
11 September 2023
This film was actual garbage and a misery to watch.

The script is horrible, you can tell by literally reading the quote that was left lol

"Asha Chaudhry: I stabbed you!

Amir Chaudhry: I know. It's ok... I deserve it.

Asha Chaudhry: No you don't... you don't deserve it."

My god man, and the creature looks like trash too.

The challenge is never explained, it just exists and Kid Cudi starts hunting down the charecters.

The horror is non-existent, you get these random like violin spikes that are supposed to make you feel scared over blurry images of one of the worst designs ever.

Like seriously, the design is so horrible that any attempts at being scary are so funny, which is not helped by subpar acting.

There are so many random events that happen in the movie that make no sense, then it's like whoever wrote the movie suddenly remebered that and so they tie back to it for a quick scene.

Every attack from the Grim Nutty Buddy Bar is so planned out that any attempts at being scary are so forced and it completely removes all of the tension.

So many of the lines are awfully written, it's a miracle that the actors are decent enough to not burst out laughing.

Not to mention how Crimgutty is never explained and has one of the worst names ever made. He exists, and that's the explanation. Random abilities he has pop from out of nowhere and rarely appear again.

Oh yeah, that's something that happens a lot throughout the movie. Random stuff just happens and is never explained, I can't tell if this movie has some deep metaphor or if the writers were freestyling the entire script.

The charecters are so inconsistent and easily swayed that I can't tell if the writers intentionally made them about as intelligent as the average walnut or if the writers fit that description.

The kid at the beginning has no explanation for finding out Grimcutty's weakness, it's like he has some psychic ability, and the writer's never explain this either. It was so hard to actually find that out.

Grimcutty has no reasoning or explanation, like how did he come to be? It's just completely unexplained.

So y'know, this movie has a horribly designed monster, awful charecters, several plot holes, an extremely poorly written script, 85% of it is left unexplained, it's got an awful name, the horror in a horror movie is non-existent, there's no tension and any tension is overridden by how funny the creature looks. The only positive thing about this movie is that some of the actors are decent.

1/10, I feel like watching paint dry would be a more fufilling and entertaining experience than watching this movie.
