Netflix's "Leave The World Behind" is a painful FAIL!!

[@OneSwitch]

I found it a rather stupid film, and clearly written by one or more miserable misanthropists. There's next to no glimmers of human solidarity or kindness in it. Rubbish.

[@mightytaiger3000]

Makes sense that drOneBAMA produced it.

[@earth8865]

Why as a white woman would I support a film produced by a man who chose a painter to paint his presidential portrait from someone who painted black woman beheading white woman. My little personal boycott as it won’t get a penny of my money.

[@BeingSwenglish]

@OneSwitch thanks for the comment and completely agree, it's miserable, painful and depressing! There's nothing positive about this film!

[@jasonvaughan5128]

It’s designed to generate fear from a potential/planned event.

[@BeingSwenglish]

...and it partially does that, but not in a good way! Thanks for the comment!

[@JIMMYSTREET222]

As soon as I heard the terrible music it got turned off straight away

[@BeingSwenglish]

Ahhhh the music wasn't bad!

[@BeingSwenglish]

@sucofnisucofni8935 interesting, for me the musical score was one of the better aspects 😄

[@jman-f5b]

The movie ends so silly.. no ending

[@BeingSwenglish]

Agreed! Thanks for the comment!

[@Well-in-the-garden]

It was so boring- waited to see what happened - and then it ended with that stupid scene with the young girl basically breaking into the neighbours house, eating all their food and watching friends! So pointless

[@Chuck_87]

I felt like the film was unfinished, I can see why some like it, it seems to start with a plot and it gets you interested because you want to know more, then it just ends

[@VUK71]

I disagree. The point is simple… u see how easily america can be divided? It is actually something that could be accomplished….. and the way it unfolds mimics the sense of not knowing…. I didn’t like the ending… but it was a great movie! sorry bout it.

[@BeingSwenglish]

No need to be sorry, this movie is really dividing audiences. But what about the length of the movie, the pace of the story? Do you feel it was all perfect? Thanks for the comment!

[@JIMMYSTREET222]

Long story short its a pile of shit.. Avoid!!

[@BeingSwenglish]

Thanks for the comment! I completely agree!

[@Marijalondon]

You literally 100 pc described my feelings after watching that nonsense! Very accurate observation.

[@BeingSwenglish]

Thanks for tie comment, glad that I'm not alone!

[@morpheus9836]

the ending was so stupid, the acting was meh, and the premise has been done before

[@BeingSwenglish]

Completely agree, and it's been done FAR better before too, this was a terrible attempt! Thanks for the comment!

[@classic.cameras]

I almost watched it. I started it. But there have been a lot of stinkers in the last few years like "This isn't going to end well" or "Dont look up" that people praised but then watch and are like What Was THAT!!!??!!! I am so glad I did not watch this movie. Now that there are reviews of it, it sounds like watching KZbin for 2 hours that evening was much better use of my time.

[@BeingSwenglish]

Lol, I honestly think that you made the right decision, it really isn't a good film! Thanks for your comment!

[@Resprays]

First 30 seconds was enough to know it’s a load of shite. Only decent thing I’ve watched in a year has been fool me once.. Every other movie / series is beyond boring and I find I need to be stoned or as drunk as i can be to watch half of the dung we have on TV/Netflix/ everywhere else

[@DarkForcesStudio]

Awful on every level apart from the performances (they did well with the scraps they were given). The premise was alright, but the opportunity was squandered by focusing on the least interesting aspects of a national cyber attack possible. Not even laughable garbage. Just garbage.

[@Funkywallot]

In comparison...I found Oppenheimer FAR more painful to watch then LTWB. Its also in need of one hour cut away from the timeline, but nothing could save this flick anyway. Its far upp in rediculessness in recent years.

[@BeingSwenglish]

I agree here, Oppenheimer was a painful session, 3hrs long was just twice as long as it needed to be, the story was confusing and disjointed, the cast was great though!

[@patrickfarrell5751]

This review IS the film’s high point!

[@BeingSwenglish]

Haha, that's very kind of you to say :) thanks for the comment!

[@jerryswitzer5150]

Your analysis is spot on brother .. and your comment section is full of mindless paid shills and bots.....

[@BeingSwenglish]

Thanks for the comment buddy! I don't think that they're shills, this film really does have some supporters, oddly!

[@janef220]

I wouldn’t call this a movie. The cgi is done badly. The ship and the deer are so obviously not real life looking. It just looks weird. There is no real story. Just a bunch of strange scenes cobbled together. No character development. The daughter and the son look nothing like the parents. I realize they are actors but at least make it kind of believeable. The black dad and supposed daughter have no connection. The whole “movie@ is odd. Also how did the girl get into that house with the bunker. Nothing gels together

[@BeingSwenglish]

Totally agree, disjointed and bit of a mess! Thanks for the comment!

[@exercicesinmetal666]

The movie was OK. It wasn't that bad or a total fail. The actors played their parts they were good. The suspense was there. No doubts. I know a tons of movies far worst that really do deserve 1.9, but not this one! Come on guys. What made the movie is the good acting I saw. Id give this movie a 5.5/10

[@BeingSwenglish]

Perhaps a 5/10 wouldn't be unfair, but it needs an edit, down to 1.30hr, which would be far more palletable!

[@jasonvaughan5128]

I liked it. I see the propaganda but I still enjoyed it.

[@BeingSwenglish]

But did you feel that the story was well told, that the film wasn't too long, etc?

[@jasonvaughan5128]

@@BeingSwenglish well. It seemed to me like it was designed to add to an already fear filled life. From an ex president seems very very odd. For me it’s a distraction movie to explain away present and upcoming natural phenomena.

[@jasonvaughan5128]

It was odd at the beginning. I thought the two visitors were dodgy and up to something. I still don’t know why the visitors said they needed to leave asap, but not forced to. Very odd. I didn’t feel like it was too long. I wonder if Julia Roberts really can’t dance though. Haha.

[@MadhavKishore]

Double Jeapordy!

[@BeingSwenglish]

Haha, a proper classic!! What did you think of 'Leave the world behind'?

[@tv-oe2gk]

Not certain if you mentioned this or not but the movie was produced by Barack and Michele Obama.

[@BeingSwenglish]

Yeah, I did read that, although I'm not sure that they "actually" produced it, but a company that they own did. Thanks for tie comment!

[@lesleycasey4748]

Dude I rewound the movie 3x when I saw the Obama's names just kind of a WTF moment... But oddly I've watched several of these reviews and NOBODY mentions it!! And NOBODY talks about that Julia Roberts is HORRIBLE and takes you right out of giving a f£ck about anyone else but the daughter. I imagine that the woman start convulsing due to radiation exposure and the son dies from his exposure but the Dads make it to the shelter... Happy Ending and Kevin Bacon laughs and laughs at their idiotic trade

[@raztendo3540]

Amazing movie. Loved it !!! This isnt for people that chases zero iq action movies. Loved all of it. Great ending.

[@BeingSwenglish]

But really? What did you love about it? I'm genuinely interested to know! Thanks for the comment!

[@mightytaiger3000]

You’re talking about IQ but think “people that chases” makes any sense.

[@jerryswitzer5150]

@@BeingSwenglish It's a bot .... a paid shill... a bs comment... The movie is ridiculous...

Why would any civilised, mature, intelligent adult describe racism as "great"??

​@@BeingSwenglishyou know nothing the movie is supposed to wake u up to be ready let me guess you believe fake news huh do you even know whats going on in real life if you dont shut up

[@plagues-haze-3987]

​@@BeingSwenglishyou a damn sheep to not understand the movie and no the movie wouldnt be forgotten delete your channel dude

[@kylek7154]

As best I can tell, the actual purpose of the movie was to lead watchers to experience what uncertainty about the biggest questions of life feels like. So…job accomplished…

[@BeingSwenglish]

But not really, it didn't accomplish prompting deeper thought, it just skimmed over most of the topics, and moved rapidly onto the next! Thanks for the comment!

[@thomasloney612]

The biggest questions of life? It doesn't touch on the existence of God or the afterlife, which is the absolute biggest question of life. The only question it seems to ask is "how would a normal family react to the apocalypse", and the movie's answer is "like they all suddenly developed autism".

[@plagues-haze-3987]

Hey my guy the movie is supposed to wake people up i guess you believe none of this can happened huh its going on right now GOOFY

[@thomasloney612]

I thought it was just a film with a bad ending, until I found out its about racism and slavery... then I realized it's a terrible film. Nevermind its produced by the Obamas, and the guy from Mr. Robot, which spent 5 seasons doing what this movie did in only 2 hours. It's typical Hollywood tripe. You come in expecting entertainment, only to be slapped across the head and told "fuck you! I'm not here to entertain you! I'm here to teach you!!!".

[@oscartorrez5870]

Nope. I’m glad I watched your channel for the 1st and last time.

[@BeingSwenglish]

Thanks for the comment! Why would this be the last time, why so angry?

[@daw7563]

I concur

[@BeingSwenglish]

Haha, glad to see that I'm not alone!

[@daw7563]

Haha yes, watching the news will make you happier 😉.

[@delhargis2219]

I liked it a lot. Left with a great message at the end. The filmmaking was great. The cast was great and I enjoyed the plot and the pace. You can't claim it is a terrible film, the best you can do is declare that you didn't enjoy it, or maybe didn't get the ending. One of the best made Netflix movies.

[@BeingSwenglish]

Do you honestly think it's one of the best you've ever seen? I'm honestly and genuinely shocked by that. It has some terrible scores on Rotten Tomatoes. We're all entitled to our opinions of course, thanks for the comment!

[@MarlonAlvarez7]

Loved it!

[@BeingSwenglish]

Thanks for the comment, what was so great about it in your opinion?
