Caught Synchronic with Anthony Mackie on Netflix. Decent, trippy idea of a movie. If you're bored and looking for something new to watch, check it out (and is there a movie that Mackie HASN'T been in lately??). I actually wanted this movie to be longer to further explore the premise of what was going on. It felt like it could have been much better with another 20-30 minutes to me.
Also saw Tomorrow War on Prime. I loved the premise, and I also loved seeing Yvonne Strahovski (dammit girl), but it just felt like it didn't live up to what it could have/should have been. I'm a Chris Pratt fan, but it felt like he was purely going through the motions for a paycheck in this one. This is a movie that may have been better suited as a series.
And just an opinion here - through the age of Covid I'm glad for platforms like Netflix and Prime to have put out the content they have in movies and series to make up for the lack of theater entertainment, but man is there a dropoff in quality between the two. Again I'm grateful to have it, but do I ever miss the blockbuster and true Hollywood product you get in the theater. If Netflix and the rest are going to continue down this path and this really is the future we're looking at, hopefully the quality continues to improve (and I realize that means costs will go up, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there).
