I'm going to be honest, the number one way to get a good rating from me is to put a giant monster in your movie and have it fight other giant monsters OR a giant robot.
My number one complaint about movies with kaiju and/or mecha, which can prevent them from getting five stars, is that there are usually too many scenes with people talking and advancing the plot, and not enough scenes of wanton destruction where the kaiju/mecha are brawling.
The best way to get a shitty review out of me is to make fight scenes and not care about what you studied in high-school kinematics.
Stop a character mid-air without stopping time ->
-1.It was not for quick-time dialogue event, but just randomly stopped the character in air ->
-5.That's why Pacific Rim ranks so high in my book
A giant robot hits a giant monster with a boat, it doesn't get better than that!
If you want high star rating from me, make a science fiction movie and make space silent and soundless, as it should be. Bonus points if the people in the spaceship don't magically stick to the floor.
Even more points if it doesn't just follow the "Aliens" formula with some stupid variations on the theme.
I used to have a higher bar, but shit has gotten so bad I can't even. I don't even know where to begin. I just want ONE good thing, is that too much to hope for???
How many stars does 2001: Space Odyssey get from you?
Yes.
