Caught an early screening, had some a AMC gift card than i needed to burn down.
I couldn't stop noticing how every leader, wise character or in a position of power was female or a POC.
President Kamala Harris.
Two Star Rear Admiral.
The V-22 Osprey Pilots.
The Temu version of Vazquez from Aliens.
Hillary Clinton as the Kamalas BFF and voice of reason.
The 5ft 80lb female asian secret agent that saves the day.
The 5ft military police chick is supposed to be guarding the most dangerous man alive, Ethan.
The Mantis from GotG chick taking down men twice her size.
Other than Ethan and Benji, White dudes were either bad or goofy. So the movie itself was okay, it kinda dragged at the beginning and the early attempt at Marvel - esque humor during a torture / escape scene.
The good: Hayley Atwell cleavage with a tank top in full IMAX glory. The stunt scenes, specially the underwater one.
7/10.
lol, they really thought 2024/25 was going to turn out different, didn't they?
I guess she hasn't crashed a ship and been fired, yet.
I guess they haven't been told to not fly into other aircraft yet and then done the opposite.
Willing to bet she wasn't as smart or self-sacrificing as Vasquez was, though.
Probably just as tall, however.
As if we needed more proof this was as far from reality as possible.
Did they need someone to cause a traffic jam and prevent something from driving along a normally safe road?
Maybe the plan was for any would-be assassins to die from laughter at seeing the guard.
Fun fact, she blew up on social media a while back for being accused of sleeping with a male pornstar [Manuel Ferrara] while the guy's wife [Kayden Kross] was pregnant with his kid.
Benji is still played by Simon Pegg, though. And while he's great at making action movies both the Scientology thing and full on authoritarian covid mask insanity mean Tom Cruise has his own issues.
👀
The way the scene is framed, they are the first things to enter the shot.
Its a close shot.
Apt username.
