elbalesIt was frustrating. There were fun moments in there, but the script spent 40 years wandering in the desert, scratching itself as it went. David Twohy couldn't decide what story he was telling, and the movie suffers for it. I mean, I love that Vin Diesel has maneuvered his career around to allow him to make films for the love of it, but he really needs to find someone who is equally D&D-geeky to write scripts for him, and it needs to be someone good.
As Hardi said, "Meh." Which is sad, because I loves me some Pitch Black and I even have a soft spot for the second movie.
Also, there's a little throwaway line from Katee Sackhoff's character Dahl near the end that left me thinking, FUCK YOU, DAVID TWOHY, FUCK YOU, LESBIANS DO NOT EXIST FOR YOUR GRATIFICATION, THEY ARE REAL PEOPLE WITH REAL IDENTITIES WHO ACTUALFAX ONLY SLEEP WITH WOMEN, FUCK YOU.
tl;dr if you identify as lesbian, or you actually care about people who do, there is a bit that will leave you wanting to throw heavy objects at David Twohy's head, or possible Jujubes at the movie screen, IDK.
