First Impressions: 2/28

Non-Stop | Son of God

Non-Stop

I wrote a Psychic about this one, but from the early reviews, it looks like it might be pretty close to its (admittedly mediocre) ceiling.  I'll admit, I didn't see a 58% rating on Rotten Tomatoes coming (though that's still technically rotten, so don't get too excited).  Perhaps it's just the weak competition it'll be going up against that has critics welcoming an even serviceable thriller into the arena.  It looks to me that Liam Neeson is just going through the motions, but that critical reaction means I might give it a shot if I had nothing better to watch.

Son of God

It's expectedly weak performance on Rotten Tomatoes (23%) means it's exactly the type of movie you think it'd be: heavy-handed, but interesting and appealing to a specific demographic.  In the words of the producers, "Just being Christian doesn't give you the excuse to make bad movies."  Sadly, it seems Mark Burnett failed to heed his own words.  Thanks, but I'll be waiting for Noah and maybe Exodus to get my Bible fix.  Humorously, Burnett said "only God could" get this movie into 3,000 theaters.  That actually sounds a dig at his own movie if it took divine intervention to secure a wide release...
