• Warning: Spoilers
    I am genuinely shocked that this movie has such high ratings. By no means do I mean this in a malicious way, but this movie was just.. a messy rollarcoaster for me. There were so many plot holes and random little cheesy twists thrown in. I must say, I don't see how it was necessary to throw in the whole 'baby killer' monologue from Curtis. Okay, so he felt bad and wanted to cut his arm off but couldn't. Boo hoo- then he gets his 'hero moment' 5 mins later saving Timmy and his arm gets cut off. His dream sacrifice! It just all seemed to set up yet too random at the same time. The cgi threw me off as well and ruined the suture as well as the insane zoom in and outs w shaky cam during all the action shots. I understood everything Joon-ho was going for with this and I have such appreciation for his work, but everything just seemed to miss the mark slightly for me. I didn't see how much of the plot lines were necessary. Why did Gilliam have to be in on it? I'm not sure, it left me slightly frustrated for so many reasons.
