ok..why?2 1/2 hours out of my life I won't get back. I kept waiting for a "payoff". Never got it. Interesting premise, decent actors, just no "payoff". I disagree with @Beezle2, I don't think you could assume the characters were all going to end up in the safe room.
Why what? Why do I think you can't assume the other characters would end up in the safe room? Because it's not good to make assumptions? Is it possible? Sure. But IMO, not a sure thing.
I never heard of that movie. I googled it and it actually sounded kind of interesting. I may need to watch it. Lol.Sorta like the last one of these I shouldn't have bothered watching - Us. What a gong show...

agreed. I had already read the book awhile back,and thought it was pretty good. Not so much this movieJulia Roberts must have really needed a payday.I thought it was awful.
Now THAT definitely would be a 2-hour waste of time!
Possibly. Foreign films aren't everybody's cup of tea. It wasn't even about Godzilla...it was a really well done drama and character study that happened to have Godzilla in it. It should be up for consideration for an Oscar for best foreign film.
Sorry, yes that was what I was wondering. I think everything made it obvious that they would all end up there together..it wasn't really an assumption. But until we actually see them there I guess anything could happen.
I will say, I did expect as they did the pull out from the girl in the room to the interior to the exterior (they did do that, right, I'm not imagining it?), we were going to see the adults walking up the driveway to the house. THAT would make it obvious they would end up there.
Julia Robert’s character and the other girl were standing within eyeshot of the house and said something to the effect of “she’s got to be in that house, that has to be where she went.” Then the camera zoomed to the house, over her bike, through the broken window pane, past all the food she’d left on the table, and into the bunker. So it was pretty much assured that they were heading to the house next and would find her.
When the girl is in the house she hears her mother calling from right outside. They showed us the bike she had been riding right outside the front door with the window smashed. There is no way for the mom to miss that the girl is in the house. For the men after they get the medicine from the guy at the other house and he tells them about the bunker that his friend had built at the house where the girl is they say "guess we should head over to the house where the bunker is". To me very broad strokes to say that they will all end up there. edit: I see another poster also posted about this, I didn't see it before I went over it or I would have spared us the repeat
I'll have a look..thanks for the recommendation. I'll recommend Freaks vs The Reich as a foreign film that surprised me with how much I liked it. It was beautiful visually which sucked me in but then I liked the story also.
I'm watching it now and I gotta say. I hope they get somewhere soon and something happens because so it is a snooze and poorly acted. 40 minutes in...
Omg..I am dying laughing at myself. I am watching Minus One..not Godzilla Minus One. I couldn't even say how bad this movie is and I kept waiting for something... anything...
. In the same way a stupid commercial “works” the film did get people talking about it…..
