Hello Cinephiles,
Today we’re talking about the 2024 film Y2K.
Story
It’s a standard survival horror with almost no deviation in plot.
Score: 0
Characters
The “awkward dude gets the hot popular girl” is a really tired trope. Making her good with computers is a nice twist but makes him even blander which I didn’t think was possible.
The rest of the movie’s characters were tired tropes pulled from survival horror or stoner comedies.
Score: 0
Dialogue
The dialogue was written by nerds for nerds and is unironically goofy in the best way. The “edgy” dialogue is pretty much what we all thought was edgy back in 2000 but in retrospect is kinda childish.
Score: 0.5
Visuals and Music
The camera work was excellent and the special effects were pretty impressive.
The music was nostalgic and fun.
Score: 1
Fun
This isn’t a great movie but there were some fun parts. I watched it on my own because it is really not kid friendly.
Score: 0.5
Overall
A lackluster plot with nothing special that can’t seem to decide if it hates the 2000’s or loves it.
Final Score: 2 Stars out of 5
