God this was painful to watch,
Slow like crawling Slow, bad story, boring characters, crappie like really crappie
Acting. Everything about this was just uninteresting and boring, and I've never had to grind a movie till the end as much as I had to with this garbage. Never again will I sit through this snooze fest ever again, what a load of bad acted rubbish. 1/10 for the head going pop.
Everything else
Trash just Trash

@jarvis-9477279 stick Marvel movies. The have pew, pow and boom from beginning to end. And the stories are easy to follow if you watched the previous 52 MCU movies.

Although the idea behind the movie is good, the mediocre acting, bad SFX and boring directing makes this "just another mediocre to bad old-school horror flick".

If you can overlook the horrible acting, it’s pretty good for the most part. But the last half hour implodes and ruins the film for me. Could have been a classic.

70s B movie feel, only worth watching in 2022 if you’re binging sci-if movies.

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Scanners’:

1. I don’t understand how this film gets any praise. Yeah, the _very_ basic premise is somewhat interesting, but the story is all over the place — and there’s a lot here that doesn’t make a lick of sense. I couldn’t tell you what Cameron’s ultimate mission was, or how one scene even led to the next. I literally had to force myself to continue watching.

2. In addition to an incredibly-weak plot, the acting was absolutely horrendous. Did somebody win a raffle to play Cameron? His lines were endlessly monotone and delivered with zero emotion. He was great at staring and shaking tho!

3. The score was another atrocity. The music was grating and often felt very out-of-place.

I'm so glad I found this movie. It may be one of my new favorites. For about 75% of the film I was thinking just how much I loved this film! It's got that old school aesthetic. The directing is superb and the soundtrack is Terminator-esque. I see it's on a list of cult films and I can understand why. [spoiler] The weakest parts of the film in my opinion is slow start and the end which was rather abrupt.[/spoiler] I'll be revisiting this film!

Just like a crazy stranger dancing naked on the freeway is better than him dancing in your kitchen, _Scanners_ is the kind of kitsch that works best on the big screen.

The melodrama, the awful music, the ridiculous sound effects, the over-the-top acting, the cheap practical effects and all that cheese is almost enough to make you forget this came out 13 years **after** _2001: A Space Odyssey_.
