Atom User Reviews for Old
Trailer was everything… just watch that
Got old real fast!
The idea of the movie was interesting, but the payoff was dismal. A lot of the movie was spent following a group of disoriented people yelling at each other. Also, a lot of the dialogue and transitions were clunky. In terms of M. Night’s movies it’s slightly better than The Happening, but nowhere near as good as Split.
The most original idea i’ve ever seen in years. Horrifyingly suspenseful. Great twist. 9/10 would recommend!
Movie lacked an actual story line, actors were terrible, cheesy corny lines that nobody would say, camera work was shoddy and can make anyone frustrated. Don’t see this movie just wait for it to hit Netflix. Horrible waste of time movie.
You know it's M. Knight...
It's an M. Night Shyamalan movie, so go in expecting it to be a little silly. The acting isn't the best and there are lots of inconsistencies in the aging concept so that they could keep a certain actress for as long as humanly possible. He always has interesting ideas, but the ends of his movies usually ruin it for me. This ending want a total flop for me, so I was pleasantly surprised. I'd watch it again. At least it's original, which is more than I can say for most of the plug-and-play action junk big production companies put out.
Unintentionally Hilarious
Would not waste your time watching this it sucked
I usually hate when people fall asleep during movies. My GF fell asleep and I was okay with it. Later joined her. Acting sucked too btw.
Clever and amazing film
Disappointing :(
So many twists.
Stupid
Many loose ends. No closure. Slow and predictable at times. Not the best acting from big names either.
different storyline but similar plot to something else I've seen not that long ago. it kept me entertained but I felt the ending was rushed. in fact ..the whole movie felt rushed
this movie sucks balls
Very interesting. Loved it!
A great story with a horrible screenplay and mostly bad acting. The dialogue was laughable. Only a few genuinely touching and horrific moments, but this movie treats the audience like they are dumb.
I usually love original ideas, this was one of them. Didn't love the ending. but for the most part, I enjoyed it and so did my family.
Shyamalan tries something different here but it ends in lackluster fashion. Still a great director, but needs a better writer for his stories.
So interesting…
After watching you don't really know what to say about it. It certainly wasn't good, but it wasn't horrible either. It was something.
Great movie. M. Night Shimalayan’s best movie since “Sixth Sense”.
Ending just kinda stops.
Why is it so boring M. Night why...
good movie
Movie is corny! One of worst movies I've seen in years. Two hours of my life I'll never get back. Definitely wouldn't recommend it. I rather watch paint dry..
the were acting like 1st time actors; I didn't care for how the director kept spinning the camera & showing them 2 close.
i did like the theme and where the story was going but the twist....very stupid ending boring but its M. Night Shyamalan idk why i expected something better
Ladies and gentlemen you can skip this one! Not very good at all, acting is overdone, and the story is mediocre. Sorry
There wasn’t any suspense. The camera angles were weird, especially when it came to the kids.
Great movie must watch
I thought it was original. With out giving any spoilers, the only thing that I didn’t like was the way the dialogue of the cast. When they spoke, the over explained things to walk the audience through what was going on. Nobody would actually talk the way this group did. And if they have to go so far as to walk your through it, maybe it’s a bit to complicated for a typical audience to understand anyway.
The cast lacks chemistry or any acting skills, which honestly ruined what could have been easily been a salvageable movie if recast was preformed for the main character’s. There was such a disconnect with the audience and the main family that you were driven mad to wanting to see them fail to leave the beach to save humanity from the possibility of having spread it to the rest of us. This story was rich and honestly would have been saved in the casting wasn’t lazily put together thinking that the beautiful beach scenery could save it- random panning does not save the plot. The story for the kids really sickened me. Aging is one thing but really thinking that the kids vocabulary and sense of self without confusion of being, really took this story to another level of laziness in the writing. I cannot write more on this film’s every aspect due to respect for my time and yours just don’t watch.
The movie was up and down. It started off good and then just got boring and weird in the middle of the movie. The last 10 minutes of the movie was good explaining everything that’s going on.
Great movie! Not sure what all the hate is about. M Night returns triumphantly, in my opinion! Great twists, great original plot
I thought the movie was very original and clever. I would watch this again.
“Boring with stupid dialogue” is the best way to describe this movie. It’s like he had an idea for a movie and cast the picture then the Friday before filming said to himself “well I guess I better write a script now”.
The railer covers most of it
Really bad movie, not worth it.
one of M. Nights best
The concept of the movie was wild, it was a good watch!
It was ok. Not something I would watch again
What was everyone else that gave it 1 star expecting? Have seen all of his movies since Sixth Sense and no one makes a movie like him. A rocky last few years but he is back.
Yes it's M. Night Shyamalan so expect that but I'm a fan and I liked it. I wish he went darker but that's not his style and I always know that going in. There is a scene that is living rent free in my brain though damn.
It was good but chose to go both dark and tied with a neat ending at the same time. Not sure how I felt about that.
Good concept. Horrible execution.
This was crap.
Bad acting
Metacritic
Life's a beach and then you die.
With Old, Shyamalan appears to have embraced a devil-may-care attitude fitting for a filmmaker known to astound and dismay audiences in equal measure. Whisper it quietly, but it may be his best work in over a decade.
Despite the unrelenting terrors and tragedies, both embodied and existential, Old is a very fun, almost breezy experience.
