The most NON-entertaining movie I have ever seen.

Movies have to be entertaining, right? That's their purpose. Or at least, to most of the sensible Universe anyway, that is a given. This movie did not entertain us (my fam/friends that watched it) in any shape, size, form or fashion. Now I realize, just by virtue of past behavior of some folks that post on this forum, I am about to be stoned with a bunch of garbage about, 'You probably liked 'Transformers', blah, blah, blah...' But movies don't have to have a bunch of awesome special effects and guns and explosives for me to be entertained by them. But they have to be entertaining. This movie was created by a bunch of people that I am convinced set out to make a movie as non-entertaining as they possibly could. Let me count the ways...

It was, boring. Very boring. More boring than a 2001: ASO. I thought a movie could never get any more boring than watching a space ship dock with a space station for 15 freakin minutes! Or the LSD lights show at the end for another 15 minutes...huh!? But this movie was a actually worse than that. I love Tim Roth, he is one of my favorite actors and I'm very sad he acted in this poor excuse for a movie. But even he could not help it with his splendid acting. Minutes and minutes and minutes of poor Naomi Watts trying to figure out what to do or get lose from the duck tape....then minutes and minutes and minutes of trying to get a cell phone to work....minutes and minutes and minutes of them crying....go ahead and stone me people, but that's NOT entertainment. It was just pure boredom. We were all just staring at the screen with this look of; What is going on here?

The annoying villains in this movie doing what they were doing with their supernatural powers of being able to speak to the audience and rewind the scenes, etc. And then leaving us with no satisfaction of any kind of resolution. It's as if the producers of this film were thinking, lets just see how bad we can annoy and torment the audience here. Ok, maybe that's appealing to some, but remember, we are paying you good money to watch your movie that we want to be entertained by. I want my freakin money back.

A movie has to be entertaining....they have to leave you feeling like you've been entertained, right? This movie left me feeling that I was the victim of a practical joke by the creators and they just took my money and 2 hours of my life that I can't get back. I'm not morbid, but after she offs one of them with the shootgun we were thinking, OK, maybe this movie is about to redeem itself. After the whole rewind thing, my whole audience begin thinking of where this movie fit in with the top 5 worse movies we have ever seen. So there's my take on FWIW. Go ahead intellectual, super-genius movie experts who think that anyone who blasphemes agains the likes of 2001 or Citizen Kane or whatever is just a trailer-trash, dumbed down idiot that only likes CGI...stone me if it makes you feel better....

It's your own fault that you didn't examine the movie beforehand to judge if it would be your kind of movie. 😂

Please, girl, your ears are all the virgin you got left.

Actually, we all watched the trailer and it looked very promising. If you have to 'examine' a movie any other way, what's the freakin point? That's too much work for something that's suppose to be meant for a night of fun and entertainment. I guess we don't take the movie watching experience as seriously as some on this forum, but gees, you watch a trailer, it looks interesting, so you watch it. I'm not going to look up the life story of the director and producers on Wikipedia. If anyone does that, then....well, uh, that person needs a hobby or a girlfriend or something.

Oh, I see. You know what? I was amused by your OP because your reaction was exactly what they tried to induce.

The director told that he made this movie to piss off the audience, not to entertain us, so you played right into their hands.😀

Uh, you know when I said above that some on this forum need to get a hobby or a girlfriend or something?....uh...have you ever tried golf?, or used a dating service? 😁

God bless you, whoever you are. I saw 2001:ASO on its original theater release, and it was the most boring, lazy, self-indulgent piece of dreck I've ever seen. I watched it some years later to see if I'd been too harsh and nope, it was as dull as I'd remembered.
