Atomic Dud

I really wanted to like this movie. The trailers were epic, it was based on a graphic novel, and it was starring Charlize Theron whom I enjoy. But I felt that the pacing was to slow and the action sequences placed too far apart. They were amazing, I was blown away by the fight choreography. It just didn't do much to capture and hold my attention.

I went with Maria and Kelly on an evening movie date. I was there first so I grabbed a beer and sipped while watching the previews. We had good seats, towards the middle. It was a packed theater. It was opening weekend and I feel like the crowd was eager to see something new.

From the very beginning, I wasn't that into it. I just felt bored. All the action scenes were in the trailer so I knew what was going to happen before the movie wanted me to. The only exception was the staircase fight scene towards the end of the film. That had me beyond excited. But that elation quickly faded and I was pissed that I had paid full price for my ticket.

Overall, this movie can be viewed in your home and you wouldn't be missing out on anything.

p.s.- The soundtrack was everything and I was rocking out to 80s music the rest of the night.
