Mate P @matepolcz Dec 8 Spiderhead is not as bad as many people say, but I understand why they feel the way they do. The first two acts are pretty good and set up what could be a satisfying resolution. The characters are pretty interesting with their internal struggles and backstories, but something is just missing that would make me feel after the resolution. Some twists work, although some are pretty predictable. The dialogues are pretty natural and funny at times. Joseph Kosinski is one of my personal favourite directors, but this film's third act is tonally a mess. The situations didn't always match with the acting and the music there. The cinematography is simple, but good and it works well with the editing. The production design is moody and probably my favourite aspect. The visual effects are surprisingly wonky, especially the car scene. The acting is good overall, but some scenes in the third act don't work at all. Spiderhead is something I wanted to like, because I like the people who made it. See more Igor S Dec 2 I actually enjoyed this, despite being a bit repetitive. Right before the ending tho, things turn a bit silly tho. In the end, i enjoyed it while it lasted. But there was potential for a much more impactful story. This could have been an Ex Machina type movie. Which is a shame, because i actually feel that the plot about the drug and why they use it/want it is much more important to our current society than it seems. There's a few lines that Chris Hemsworth's character delivers near the end that made me think whether this was just a movie script or a messsage of truth that someone very powerful wanted to convey. Kind of like when someone tells you who they are in reality, but through a disguise, like art. See more Downriver R @Downriver Nov 25 I thought this was a great movie. Underrated for sure. A must watch thriller with some comedy and drama See more Sebastian D Nov 9 A Predictable Sci-Fi Letdown. Spiderhead is a sterile sci-fi thriller that squanders its intriguing premise with a predictable plot and shallow characters, turning potential moral horror into forgettable procedural drudgery. Chris Hemsworth’s Abnesti hints at menace, but the script flattens him into a generic experimenter, while Miles Teller’s Jeff and Jurnee Smollett’s Verónica are passive pawns in endless trials. The sleek facility visuals tease claustrophobia, but the pacing crawls through repetitive scenes, and twists land with thudding obviousness. What could have been a chilling dive into consent and humanity devolves into a glossy slog, wasting Saunders’ satirical bite on unearned pathos and flat dialogue. It’s a middling misfire that traps its talented cast in a narrative as confining as its prison, offering no escape from tedium. See more Sep 13 Good idea! Worst ending ever, booring and not locigal. Unfun movie. See more Mirocko B Aug 12 Great setup. Great execution. Shoddy writing. Fire the writer. Give the rest of them an high five for trying. Actually a pretty good film. Just until it completely gives up on its own premises, and tries to suddenly, without the time or budget for it, to become something it clearly is not. See more Read all reviews
