LooperJoshua Hinrichs9.0· March 3, 2021FollowWhat a terrific, creative science fiction thriller. This film surprises in every moment with its structure that it was a joy to watch. One moment it is a doppelgänger movie and the next moment it is Terminator (in a way I just said the same thing twice, but I hope you get the idea). But tying all these plots together are thought-provoking and impactful themes. Questions concerning destiny, faith, and one’s outlook on their own life are all beautifully explored. The direction here is so creative and funny, containing some amazing sequences without the use of dialogue. The editing is pitch perfect too, keeping the pace up and balancing the films many twists and turns. The only drawback was some of the effects looking a little cheap. Bruce Willis wig during the transition sequence, the green screen when Joe is on the bike, and first coin floating scene ( it looks like they attached a string between the coin and the roof of the car) look subpar, taking you out of the film, but that is the most nitpick complaint. If you are one of the those people who need everything to be logical in your movies, avoid this. Even though I would argue that character, themes, and pacing are much more important but that’s ok. You can watch your boring movies where everyone is a robot making the most logical choices while I watch my emotionally investing, action packed, and expertly made movies instead.
