The Quintessentialist

So I watched the Netflix film Cargo, staring Martin Freeman, and it was a pretty decent flick. Granted it has a few problems. So the movie takes place in Australia, and is set sometime in the future, were Andy (Martin Freeman) and his and infant daughter are trying to survive some sort of zombie outbreak. The acting in this film is phenomenal! I have recently been becoming a bigger fan of Martin Freeman, and I think that he is a very underrated actor and he deserves more attention. The rest of the cast act pretty believable for the most part as well. The zombies are pretty interesting, as the infected have 48 hours before they turn. Also these zombie's move at a moderate pace. The only real problem with this movie is the pacing. This movie is about 1 hour and 40 minutes long put it feels like it's double that. If you are up for a zombie movie set in Australia and you like Martin Freeman, then I would suggest that you watch Cargo. final score: 3.3/5

So last night I went and saw the movie A Quiet Place, and it wasn't that bad. So the plot of this movie is that we are invaded by blind aliens and we must stay quiet or else they will hear us and kill us. So the film follows a family that is just trying to survive through this, while most of society has collapsed, there are a few pockets of people left. It sounds interesting and stupid at the same time, and while there are some really stupid moments in this film, there are also really great ones too. So the movie is directed, and starring John Kransinski, as the father of the family. John's character is probably the best in the film, and you get the most sense of realism from him. I always think it's impressive if you can pull off starring and directing a movie. The family communicate by using sign language, and the film does something really smart with it. Since their daughter was deaf before the aliens came, the family knew sign language beforehand. Also it turns out ...
