Ambulance (2022)
What a waste of.....
..... Acting talent, story premise and 2 hours of my bloody life. Three hundred and forty two thousand explosions. Seventy five hundred cars flipping, crashing, spinning in slow-mo. Sound effects volumed up to level 10000 out of 100 and some of the worst characters with the worse quips i'd ever seen in a film. Bring in cliche after American cliche and you have one of Michael Bay's worst flicks.
Unintentional funny, aggressively long and enough drone footage to really drill into the viewer, that Bay has found his new tool for twisty, dizzy, action shots.
But once you've seen it once, it gets old after the billionth time - and the drone shots ARE done a billion times.
My biggest regret after seeing this, is wasting my mates time as well as my own as I suggested we watched it, because another mate recommended it.
That poor information now means said recommending friend , is now dead to me.
I realise I've said very little about the film, but that's because there's nothing there to tell. Bank robbers take ambulance hostage and drive around Los Angela's in circles hitting everything they can from cars to squirrel turds and through locked gates.
How can this much action be this utterly dull?? Avoid people, at all costs.
Truly, truly, complete dump.
Mortal Kombat 1 (2023)
Mind blown
Completed the story mode on Sunday and throughout my play, I was blown away by how clever the story was. Covering the multiple ending to MK11's Aftermath storyline was genius, (which had left me wondering how the next/this installment would play out after finishing MK11's additional story DLC). The new take on old favourites feels fresh and very welcome. Those that have primarily been villains in past installments of the Mortal Kombat series, now get to experience being the good guys and it's all done in a fantastic way - as are all the nods/Easter eggs to previous titles.
The mid-credit scene has already got me very excited for the next installment, but lets hope Netherealm give us Injustice 3 first.....we've been waiting long enough for the closing part to that brilliant series.
