I liked Old not for its horror elements (at least the very little that it has) but for its themes about aging and regrets in life, something that hit home. There may be several flaws with this weird drama but the central theme of how we take life lightly when we are aging slowly really stayed with me. Recommended.
FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://www.msbreviews.com/movie-reviews/old-spoiler-free-review“Old is one of those cases of a remarkably unique, intriguing concept failing to reach its potential due to an overall disappointing execution of too many ideas. M. Night Shyamalan delivers yet another divisive film, tackling deeper themes associated with our relationship with time and how the latter impacts people in distinct ways. The trademark final act revelation not only negatively affects the main theme of the movie but also raises dozens of plot and character inconsistencies, too many to handle. The acting is surprisingly as poor as some of the awful dialogues, despite great casting concerning the kid-to-adult transitions. The main family’s arc is one worth investing in, but there are too many disposable, irrelevant characters. The technically accurate, detailed cinematography might not be pleasant for every viewer, but the editing definitely lacks some finesse. Unfortunately, I can’t defend Shyamalan too much on this one…”
Rating: C-
Shyamalan desperately needs the services of a dialogue-writer [+48%]
I’ll give it to Shyamalan for his innovative one-line ideas, some of which translate well onto the screen. Old boasts an original concept and sumptuous cinematography (by Mike Gioulakis), but the writing and performances fail to see it through. Once the ageing aspect is set in motion, the film loosens its grip on the viewers, eventually settling for a tame finale. The characters fail to connect due to their weak portrayals and artificial-sounding dialogue.The beachy location is indeed a treat for sore eyes. I cannot get enough of listening to waves in the background, and this film proved to be an unexpected respite in that regard. Getting old fast is a scary notion when you actually give it some thought. But in the movie, it is told in such a way that the science-fiction aspects come second to convenient plot holes. The climactic twist also doesn’t land well. Old is ultimately a forgettable fare.
P. S – Can we stop killing Eliza Scanlen in every movie? Like, seriously.
M. Night Shyamalan strikes out again…
Wow. Just wow.This movie was laughably bad. There were so insanely many plot holes and things that made absolutely no sense in this movie, that it got more and more progressively difficult to take the movie seriously, much less enjoy the narrative, as the movie trotted on. I just ended up shaking my head in disbelieve throughout the course of this atrocity of a movie, and you can’t help but roll your eyes at this attempt of making a mystery thriller.
The storyline told in “Old”, while it certainly had an interesting concept, just fell short of being entertaining, and it was increasingly becoming more and more of a struggle to sit through the ordeal that is “Old”. And believe you me, this is definitely not a movie that I would recommend you rush out to spend your time, money or effort on.
Sure, the acting performances in the movie were adequate, and there were some talented performers on the cast list. But they had precious little to work with in terms of a proper script, and it was restricting their performances.
The character gallery in “Old” was interesting enough, but again, too many things just made no sense, which ended up reflecting poorly on the characters, due to some seriously inferior writing.
I was lured in to watch “Old”, given the movie’s poster and its interesting enough synopsis. But with it being an M. Night Shyamalan movie, I can’t really claim that I was thrilled or having much of any expectations, as I haven’t exactly been a fan of his movies.
“Old” was a dud, another swing and a miss in the track record of Mr. M. Night Shyamalan.
I am rating this heap of a laughable attempt at writing a mystery thriller a generous three out of ten stars. Sure, the movie was nicely produced and edited, but in terms of script, story and entertainment, this was just not cutting it.
