Review of The Bad Batch (2017) by Brett H — 11 Oct 2018
Irritatingly full of illogical scenarios to it's detriment. Opportunities for dialogue and injections of dark humor completely overlooked as often as we're expected to make allowances for unbelievable situations.
Suspension of disbelief is the mainstay convention of shoddy writing, and when it's allowed free reign we find a resulting film such as this, attempting to validate itself through style over substance. I found this film rudely wasteful of a concept with great potential, and it missed many opportunities to be really good. They made films like this so much better in the seventies, even when fighting the constrictions of the studio system.
I hope we'll see less of this grade of film where it seems their best stabs at continuity is second rate and the plot ignores the fact that audience live in an age where people are increasing in knowledge and understanding exponentially and expect the story to make sense in every way.
Surely logic never goes out of fashion, does it?
