So we watched "The Giver" and "Predestination" tonight: two movies that
ended terribly for different reasons. The Giver was disappointing
because I would have been happy to watch another 2 hours of that one
just to see the places I thought it might go; after all the great
foreshadowing, it just ended in a little, unimpressive poof of dust.
Predestination was disappointing because the whole way through the
movie, I thought the ending was going to be a great "Aha!" moment, but in
fact, the aha was the sad realization that in order for this movie to
resolve itself, there is going to have to be another movie, and who
knows how far off in the future that is going to be. So now I feel
cheated by my Redbox 2 for 1 special... Guess I'll have to find
something good to listen to online to assuage the emptiness left inside
where a fully resolved cinematic chord should have been. What a world...
What a world...
