I don't understand the hate behind this movie. It was fun! Tom Cruise was being Tom Cruise the whole movie (who doesn't like that), but honestly, it was Sofia Boutella who carried this movie as Princess Ahmanet. The effects were solid for a film of this caliber. My particular favorite scene is when Ahmanet is walking through the streets of London while summoning and ultimately embracing the Sands of Egypt destroying the city. Overall, I liked this movie, and I do not see why it has gotten so much hate. One of the better films I've seen lately.

I went into this movie with low expectations, given it is a YA book adaption. Most YA book adaptions tend to be quite bad movies (especially The 5th Wave), but this one was actually very good. The acting was decent and the plot stayed true to the novel. Now, what is the movie about, you might ask?

The film follows high school senior Sam, who is a typical rich girl with typical rich girl friends. One fateful night after a party, Sam and her friends get into a fatal car crash, and Sam dies. Or does she? Sam wakes up the next day...but it is the same day of the wreck. Thrown into a never ending time loop, Sam must figure out how to stop the loop, and if she can even save herself. The film is quite emotional and deals with several issues such as suicide and bullying. The movie tends to be aimed toward teenage girls, but as a 16 year old guy, I liked this movie. The book was pretty good, too.

Overall, if you are a fan of time loop movies (think Edge of Tomorrow without the alien invasion), you will like this movie.

I truly do not understand why this movie has such high marks. The film is quite annoying in a sense that we have extremely stupid and dumb characters. Why would you think you can electrocute or shoot a demon...a demon is clearly not alive and cannot be shocked or shot with a gun. I usually overlook logic in a movie, but that was just bad.

Maika Monroe is a hit or miss actress. She did pretty well in this movie. She was definitely the stand out character. Everybody else was just bland or boring or just a bad actor/actress. And again, most of the characters are just plain dumb. Beyond horror movie dumb.

The monster was cool. I'll admit that. A "sexually transmitted" demon. How often do you hear that?And I think that is why the movie got such high marks. However, one cool monster does not make up for a cast of bad decisions that could have easily been avoided. Overall, I'm going to have to give "It Follows" a 4/10.
