Blasted (2022) – Movie Review #shorts

Silly, but I like silly.
Blasted is a Norwegian Netflix movie about
a group of friends who have to fight an alien
invasion with laser tag weapons in the middle
of a bachelor party trip.
It’s a cliched comedy that uses the alien
invasion background to talk about friendship
and how this friendship should be more valuable
than pseudo-success.
There’s nothing too special or innovative,
and I believe many people might overlook the
message of the movie because of the mediocrity
of the film overall.
The plot is subpar and everything else is
average, like the special effects, score and
so on.
The acting is fine, and many of the characters
are generic, but I could feel empathy towards
them.
The humor is a kind of silly, almost juvenile,
and I loved it.
I think it’s the best thing about the movie,
but I know it doesn’t suit every taste.
I like it because I’m able to laugh hysterically
at the most trivial things, like a guy asking
for a hot chocolate after being jailed.
It’s not for everyone, but it’s short
and it might be worth the try.
