Not A Mild spoiler. Definitely not the greatest movie of all time but, it's watchable. Some of the choices the characters make are frustrating. I think that's with most movies of this nature, always have to keep themselves in a predicament. One thing that really bothered me is they didn't snag an abandoned car right away. Anyway if you like these kind of movies give it a watch. Personally it kind of reminded me of a better version of "Bird Box". One last thing, I thought it was funny in the airport when they were calling out flight information over the P.A. system, the flight number was "1408". Another John Cusack film. I wonder if that was coincidence or done on purpose. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review Aneta L Very disappointing adaptation of a great book. The plot is all over the place, it lucks suspense and feels very flat. Probably the worst King’s adaptation I’ve ever seen.

Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/14/24 Full Review Dan R 2016's 'Cell' is a Stephen King adaptation that somehow sneaked its way past me originally. SYNOPSIS: 'When a mysterious cell phone signal causes apocalyptic chaos, an artist is determined to reunite with his young son in New England.' You can tell this is a King adaptation because the story is so absurd. But absurd on the page can be very different to how it transfers into the big screen. I hope that is the case here. With it's two leading actors you should surely be able to create something coherent and watchable? Nope that's not the case. It's lifeless and sloppy and I'm sure King himself is very angry about this. Adaptations of this type not only tarnish his reputation but could easily go and halt the production of other adaptions of his works. It's not even so bad it's good. It's painful to watch. It's an all time low for King adaptations. 2/10 Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/20/24 Full Review Ashley M This movie had a really good concept and at the beginning it was really well executed. Halfway through the movie it slowed down so much it got boring and the ending just didn't make any sense. There were so many ways they could have ended it that would have made sense and made it a really decent movie but instead they left too many unanswered questions. I wanted it to be a good movie so bad, but it was really disappointing. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/02/24 Full Review Ben T A violent start quickly gives way to a slow and disappointing film that ends up being just another zombie film with little to make it any different. Despite a screenplay by Stephen King, whose novel the film is based on, this is an extremely dull translation from book to screen. A great idea of wiping out the population by mobile phone is let down by a plodding script. A big let down. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/02/24 Full Review Read all reviews
