Old2021

Right off the bat, people who know me so well understand that I love such twisted bizarre concept. Yes, M Night Shyamalan gave me that but it just couldn’t rise above certain level that could have blown my mind. The main problem with this movie are the expositions that really ruined the initial ambiguity it had. Characters were just throwing in more details at me that made this whole movie so predictable especially after 50 minutes or so. Maintaining that ambiguity is absolutely necessary in such films. M Night Shyamalan does that actually so well but here sadly he couldn’t get that mojo. I enjoyed all the science stuffs, hint of philosophical touch and how the ageing affects your mental state and decision making ability. Also I wished it ended in a better way rather than taking the most usual and exhaustingly uninteresting route, especially after the twist (That I had guessed long back). Really Shyamalan had something going on here that could have been epic. I really think he was burdened to make this in a way that everybody gets it. But looks like it didn’t work. I hope in his next film he gets back that mojo he’s known for. Blow my mind please next time. 2.5/5 but extra half marks for the concept.
