Review of Aloha

Aloha (I) (2015)
5/10
This is based on the 8-minute trailer with more to come.
30 May 2015
The only reason an 8-minute trailer is released is because there aren't enough 10-second clips you can throw together to make a 3-minute tease that would make people want to see the movie. However, these eight minutes are not exactly what I would call "enticing".

I was led to the clip by a headline that proclaimed the whole thing a pig and because I'm such a fan of Emma Stone that I would seriously consider paying $16.75 to watch her fart the phone book. Now that my life is 8 minutes shorter (not counting the time to post this review) I must say that with such huge names from director to supporting, this looks like a waste of $150,000,000 or whatever the budget was.

The cast is awkward, overacting, distant and robotic. Virtually unwatchable but I think I may be jumping the gun. Could we possibly be watching a future cult-classic with every cliché jumbled together in such a way that you have to let it flow over you? I will update after seeing the entire feature.
