Ash

I was so disappointed with this…

You know, it’s a very used genre but it’s always interesting to see what would happen is pace with aliens, so I was excited for this.

Somehow, even though I didn’t like the movie, it passed so quickly… I thought the ending scene was the 3/4 of the movie and we were about to see something bigger and badder but no…

The movie is missing so much substance, there’s nothing to it, just the idea of it, and a bad script, it’s missing the whole pulp of the film.

Cinematography was great… but not fit for a film, certain parts look like a commercial (if you see it, I think you know what I’m talking about) and others look like they would fit great in a music video… not a film, none of it is realistic.

Who the fuck though the rainbow lights were a good idea?? Very cool to see, wrong film, wrong choice, give us red emergency lights.

Now to the production design. I think it looked great, the interiors were minimal and realistic, although seen over and over again (there is a reason) it works.

Aaron Paul, I love you man, you can do so much better, they just put you there to put face for the movie, totally wasting your presence and talent, makes me very sad, and you know what, it worked, I came to see you cause I haven’t seen you in a while.

CGI: I get it, it’s expensive and we’re trying to be cheap, but cheap can be masked, this is just lousy work, you want some advice? When a ship is landing, don’t make it to be like there are no particles flying around, it’s weird, put the particles in, and mask the fact that it’s bad cgi, literally big productions do it and get away with it…

Lastly, I was so goddamn disappointed, I came off of a hype train after watching alien Romulus and wanted more. I learned that more is not always good.

If you haven’t watched Alien Romulus, watch that instead of this, you’ll thank me later

5.5/10

Ash is a stylish sci-fi thriller with Eiza González and Aaron Paul. It looks amazing and has a cool soundtrack, but the story feels slow and familiar. Great visuals, weak plot.

What in the intergalactic migraine did I just watch? For how pretty the almost cyberpunk cinematography and effects are, it's amazing how much I managed to dislike this. I was into the eeriness, but I really don't think this should have been a horror film. Mostly because the sound design and practicality feel wasted on attempts to jump scare and confuse, when all it does is annoy and fall into cliché after cliché. Sci-fi, especially in the mystery that is space, is the perfect excuse for nonsensical concepts. Instead, it's nearly always parasitic aliens and people losing their minds.

This movie was trying to be alien but fell way short. Kind of boring . Pass on this and watch alien
