Blumhouse He works with Mating Meting to “expand and cure” a movie with a movie. How? Encouraging people to interact with Chatbot AI while watching a movie on the massive screen. Does it sound like a superb idea? NO! But this didn’t stop Hollywood or Big Tech before.

April 9, as reported Meta introduces a brand new “Film” technology during a special show of April 30 – Original film, not its upcoming continuation – as a part of the horror movie Blumhouse Studio “Halfway to Halloween Film Festival. “The latest technology will allow filmmakers to use their mobile phones as a” second screen “while watching in the theater.

I do not care how much I do it: Do not use the phone in the cinema. If you might be apprehensive a few sudden accident, leave it in noise and leave the theater before checking the device. Otherwise, mute this shit and luxuriate in two hours in a dark room separated from the nightmare, which is the Internet in 2025.

“The question that we always ask ourselves is: why can Halloween not be every day? So halfway to Halloween brings us a step and I could not be happier that this year we are going throughout the country,” said Jason Blum, founder and general director of Blumhouse in a press release. “In the same spirit of trying new things, we are glad that we can give fans a completely new experience in the theaters of the team in Metah.”

I consider it very funny that Meta and Blumhouse give this technology as “new”, despite the indisputable fact that the second screen experiences are a thing that corporations tried over ten years ago. Do you remember Xbox SmartGlass? It was an application that could be opened on a tablet or phone, after which used while playing or watching movies on Xbox One. It had some applicationsBut he didn’t really care. So Xbox killed him and moved on. However, the meta restores the concept, at the identical time annoying than before by hammering into artificial intelligence and inspiring people to use phones in the cinema.

I can only hope that, like most latest BIG Tech ideas nowadays, this film buddy is quietly disappointing and isn’t mentioned again. If not, going to the cinema will be much worse, and that will sadden me.

Oh, and talking about it, the continuation looks like Bonkers. I hope that once I watch him on the cinema this yr, I do not have to cope with 20 random people on my phones on a regular basis.

About an hour and a half in Nowy WB Film, now in theaters I noticed that I was really bored. The film took place in front of me on the massive screen. I saw Jacek Black and other dancing at CG Worlds, but when he left the screen and entered my eyeballs, he slipped from my brain. I needed to force myself to soak up and understand what was happening. Fortunately, not much is going on to me on this bad film.

There is (type) of live adaptation. But find out how to adapt a video game and not using a real story or character to a 100-minute movie? The answer is that lazily to make Minecraft a distinct world to which real people travel, after which eventually leave. Really, a feature of each bad video videos is that it could actually be summarized with “Yes, this is a movie from the 80s with Dennis Hopper”.

But hey, I can endure a lazy configuration if the remaining of the movie wins me. And at the start the things looked good. The first 20 minutes of this film incorporates really great jokes that made me laugh and the remaining of the theater. We meet some heroes, corresponding to young, awkward Henry and his older sister Natalie, who became her mother’s figure after the death of an actual mother. They each go to a small town in Idaho, since it was a dying wish for his or her mother. Thanks, mom! As it happens, we’re introduced Jason Momoa Video Video game Who owns a game store and is a large loser.

Danielle Brooks can also be there as Dawn, a personality who spends a lot of the film, doing nothing, saying little and is wasted. After a funny introduction to the heroes, including surprisingly horny and really funny character with the side figure of Jenifer Coolidge, Marlene, our 4 principal characters are detained on this planet, and the film falls because Steve becomes a part of history.

Can one actor save a movie? Maybe. Can one actor destroy the movie? Yes. And that is what Jack Black does. I’m undecided Jack Black is doing on this movie. I don’t mean why he was planted – he’s a funny, popular guy with solid achievements – but I mean what his idea of ​​his performance is? To be honest, Steve is nothing in the sport, however the name of her default skin. So he, writers and director, principally needed to create Steve’s personality from scratch. However, everyone decided to make Steve one of the vital annoying characters ever appeared within the film.

Jack Black is exhausted to 12 on a regular basis on this movie. Every moment is black on the screen, screams, screams, dances, makes strange voices or uses slang. Sometimes he does all of it at the identical time. It doesn’t work, and after about 20 minutes from its a part of the film children in my theater stopped laughing at his behavior. His performance is as if someone was making impersonation under Jacek Black based on YouTube compilation along with his “most crazy moments”. It’s not only annoying and tiring; It’s not fun either. It also makes it difficult to mix with Steve, who’s certainly one of the principal characters of this film and certainly one of the few with an actual arch of the characters.

I almost left the movie early, when in some unspecified time in the future Jack Black, preparing his newly discovered friends for the battle, says: “We must mine. We have to create.” Fuck. I only have so many hours in my life and I do not need them wasted.

As for what is definitely happening, it has essentially the most basic story with a bad person and not using a personality or interesting quirks who desires to destroy every part. But to do that, they need shiny macguffin and guess what? Our fearless heroes need the identical macguffin to go home. The solution to this conflict covers the hour of running and walks across the worlds of CG, which look in case you installed an unsightly, realistic texture package. Sometimes there are fights or talks between the characters, however the film doesn’t stay in a single part long enough so you could care or develop to every part.

Technically, CG on this film is impressive. Real characters are perfectly integrated with the digital world. And when the character leaves the world of video games and enters the true world, he’s easily included within the set of motion live. Good things. It is a pity that each one projects are hideous and don’t match the true sound effects of the sport, which feel like filmmakers try to remind you that yes, it continues to be. Promise.

The best part of this film is Podplot with the participation of Vice President Coolidge, who is newly divorced and falls in love with one of the villagers who leaves his world and enters our own. Every time the film is cut off to show us more of this story, I was disappointed that instead I didn’t watch the movie about them. He is also strongly suggested that a peasant is fucking. Enjoy the movie, children! (And enjoy this amazing voice camera at the end. Seriously, I was stunned. I won’t spoil him here. But it’s perfect.)

Now I know that some will say that I am too harsh. After all, it’s a movie for children. So what? I saw many good films for children. He is one of the best DC films ever made. It’s really funny, he has strong moments of the character, a good story and does not lazily throw the character to the real world lazily.

It’s just not very good. Will children like it? Sure, but generally children are not the most demanding audience and this is fine. I am not saying that children cannot enjoy this film. I just say that this is a bad movie, if you are an adult looking for something funny, which does not contain the worst performance of Jacek Black, who has ever been involved in celluloid. I recommend watching people and playing with buddies instead of watching this nonsense.
