Lockdown: 2025
This movie, in my humble opinion, is some of the best media I have ever laid my eyes upon. Similar to the fashion of outsider music, whether or not the creators of this movie thought they had made an objectively good movie, is up to interpretation. However, I believe that though this is not a good movie, it’s some of the best media I’ve ever seen. Tubi labels this a faith movie and I believe in some parts it tried to be, which allowed the other genres of film it reached into to be even more surprising. This movie wants to be so many things and most of them ends up contradicting itself and this movie ultimately ends up being nothing. But that’s not inherently a bad thing. A movie that thinks it has everything to say but ends up saying nothing is beautiful. We’ve seen movies that have intensive, thought-provoking lessons. We’ve seen A-list actors bring emotion through the screen. However, I would argue that pure art is being melted down into everything that this movie has to offer. I have never seen a film fail so terribly at every single objective. Which allows this movie to shine in the “what is going to happen next” category. A truly revolutionary film was made in Lockdown 2025, a film daring enough to be about so much, it’s about nothing at all.
