Nothing As It Seems: The Films of Nicolas Roeg (1982)

Remember Caroline from Vampire Diaries? Well, now she’s The Suitcase Killer, allegedly. 

KIMI is the main character of this film and as much as I wish it was Angela Childs played by Zoe Kravitz, it isn't. KIMI is a smart device that works not unlike Amazon's Alexa and Google's Nest assisting in anything from home purchases to music playing all under the guise of only activating when in use.

I hadn’t heard of it either until recently—and yet, it’s one of the highest grossing movies of all time.

There were too many irrelevant parts that could have been shortened, and too many characters that didn't advance the plot. Either way, some things didn't add up. This was just another played out plot with little, if any, originality in it. By the end of the film, I wasn't happy that she finally got her freedom, I was happy that it was finally over.

“Ad Astra” is a film that possesses similar beats to sci-fi classics, falling into the realm of cinematic hypnotism, and pulling us in with its mysteriously intoxicating identity.

The one-way journey went to the desert that refused to offer an answer or a transcendence.
