Old [DVD]

Awesome plot, alot of fun

Say what you will about M. Night Shyamalan’s films, but I think he’s truly returned to form since 2016’s Split. And while Glass (2019)—the conclusion of the Unbreakable trilogy—was a little unsatisfactory, his latest film, Old (2021), is another win in my book. I appreciate when filmmakers fully explore an idea in their movies, and Old is precisely that. Shyamalan imagines all the different permutations of the concept of rapid aging and fits them into a scenario and his trademark plot twist that works incredibly well.Part of the fun of Old is how the characters slowly discover that they are trapped on a beach where time moves much more rapidly than they are used to. The problem-solving and conflicts that arise from this unsuspecting group of victims are fun to watch as they realize that their lifespans are a ticking clock that limits how long they can stay there. I appreciate that most of the cast in this movie aren’t incredibly famous (with perhaps the exception of Rufus Sewell), so it didn’t distract me with a bunch of A-list celebrities when the concept of rapid aging is the star of the show.Yes, I will grant that there is an amount of suspension of disbelief in this movie. I will also admit that many sub-plots were crammed into this concept. These sub-plots are only explored for a moment before moving on to other things. Still, I feel the twist ending truly enhanced this concept of rapid aging, and it helps to explain so much of this film’s coincidences. Others might find endless amounts of things wrong with this movie, and I’ll agree that it’s not perfect. However, it’s a fun thriller that I truly enjoyed watching.A full and entertaining exploration of the concept of rapid aging, I give Old 4.5 stars out of 5.

I am a fan of M. Night movies. This one was a bit scarier and sadder than most. It took a minute to connect all the pieces but that was it. It flowed nicely. A good movie with that trapped on an island feel. If you have hypochondriac tendencies, this may not be the movie for you. Other than that, it is just another day at the beach.

This is a good movie suspense

This is a good film, Great twist at the end. A good addition to the movie collection.

Worth it for the special features alone. I want to spend as much time as humanly possible inside the insane world that this movie crafts. Maddox deserved better.

Filmed with a minimal crew during the pandemic, this film delivers a testament to humanity. We watch a group of strangers coalesce and live a full life in a single day. True to Shyamalan, each person is uniquely qualified to fulfill the role assigned to them, and in the end they redeem themselves by simply following through. The minimal camera work enables them to age in a day slightly off-camera. The cinematography is the star of this film.
