OK, I thought the concept of this movie was super good. WW2, horror, and Chloe Grace Moretz - that is a winning combo. And, it even started off amazing, good mood, great pace, and claustrophobic atmosphere. Then I basically started to watch a different movie all together, and it had nothing to do with the world we all know!
So (Maude) Chloe Grace Moretz jumps aboard a plane in the dead of night on a super secret mission. The crew are all sexist a-holes; so far so good. Creepy stuff happens, there are Japanese... suddenly, and I am waiting for the laugh track. I mean, 18 wheeler off the road, train derailing, Titanic sinking (too much on that one?). I can't believe that this is where they go with the movie!
With a world of options, with a great start, why go where they do? From horror to ridiculous in 30 seconds. It is basically two movies, one creepy and good, one ridiculous and could be good - think Overlord done in the stupidest possible way.
Chloe is great, and she is the only bright spot. Nothing after the 30 minute mark makes a lick of sense. The score is 5/10 for some reason - which is much more of a reason than this movie gives. I guess I feel generous today.
