I've generally not been in the movie watching business in recent times because I've just focused more attention on work. However, since I subscribed for Netflix, finding movies to stream is a lot easier and so I decided to watch this movie that featured the extremely sexy Charlize Theron.
Considering she was part of the cast, I honestly didn't think it was going to be as cringe as it is but it turned out to be. It featured a shit ton of plot holes, cliche scenes, and enough cringiness to last a lifetime.
The movie was about four immortal warriors who for some unexplained reason, regenerate from injuries, no matter how many times they're killed. It is basically like time stops still for them and they have to roam the earth doing heroic stuff.
According to one nerdy CIA guy whose wife died of cancer, they've been behind everything from martin Luther King, Einstein and virtually all the important events in history. He describes their actions as having a ripple effect in history that often trickles down to something very pivotal for the human race.
In this saga, a pharmaceutical company led by some kid who looks like a cheap version of Mark Zuckerberg was trying to do some clinical research on them. He figured that since they don't die, he might as well just use them as guinea pigs.
Unfortunately for the virgin boy, they're close-knit and never let each other be captured. Considering how long and durable they are, captivity can be even worst than death because they'll die many times over if tortured.
I'm a fan of mindless violence in Hollywood, so I was able to bear the entire movie from start to finish. In fact, if you like action scenes, explosions and all that kind of stuff, then you will somewhat enjoy the movie.
However, enjoying the movie will require reducing your brain functioning to roughly %10 of its efficiencyy (%3 if you're ). There are so many ridiculous scenes in the movie that I don't even know where to start from.
There was the part where one actor waltz into a US military base in Afghanistan to kidnap somebody and then another scene where a bullet was shot in a plane without anything accounting for it. Generally speaking, reading too much into it will probably make you cringe throughout the movie.
My advice is to focus on the fight scenes and Charlize Theron's awesomeness. There's literally nothing else to take out of it. Happy watching.
