Movie Review: 65...

A poster for 65.

Earlier today, I watched the sci-fi flick 65 at AMC theaters.

The film has no real plot to speak of (other than to joke that it's Kylo Ren from the Star Wars sequel trilogy versus velociraptors and T-Rexes), so I'll just ask a few questions based on whatever story elements there were:

- So the metric system was invented on another planet over 65 million years ago? Mills (played by Adam Driver) had to travel '15 kilometers' to reach the second half of his spaceship after it broke into two as he crash-landed on prehistoric Earth.

- Are today's UFOs actually visitors from Adam Driver's home world? There should be a 65 spinoff flick where someone in the present day runs into a descendant of Mills inside a New York City café...or not.

- Does Driver's species now possess lightsabers, TIE Fighters and hyperspace if it's that old? 65 million years is enough time for his alien race to develop actual Star Wars-type technology.

And lastly:

- Did Driver do this movie just for the paycheck? I'm guessing that he also did this role for the physical challenges he would experience during filming...such as wading through a pool of mud and climbing up trees.

Driver used to be a former U.S. Marine, so I guess working on 65 brought back some pleasant memories from his training days! Or not.
