Too much deus ex machina
13 July 2023
I loved Fallout (10/10!) so I was excited for this movie. And I must say I'm disappointed by the overuse of deus ex machina as a scriptwriting trope. I'm still trying to head-canon a few instances to somehow believe what happened, and of course that repeatedly pulled me out of the story.

I'm not going to rate this until I see the rest of the movie, to be fair, as this was only Part One. I'm interested in what happens, and I'm sure I'll catch more upon rewatching. But sometimes it felt like the script itself was written by an AI, and I found viewing to be a frustrating experience. Way too much deus ex machina.
