Shadow in the Cloud

POSITIVES…

  • The fun and entertaining premise for this genre-mashup of a movie; which is like a Twilight Zone episode set in World War II, is actually pretty awesome.

  • Chloe Grace Moretz is absolutely excellent in this as an action hero, and it's hard not to be completely engaged with her situation.

  • Plot progression, the narrative, visual direction, action beats, were all spectacularly handled well by Director / Co-Screenwriter Roseanne Liang.

  • Second act of the movie really went to some incredible places with the story, and I was all for it!

  • There's one particularly outrageous HOLY $#!+ moment that made my jaw drop.

  • Character design for the creature is perfectly creepy looking.

  • I dug the synth heavy musical score.

NEGATIVES…

  • The misogyny of that era hits you over the head a little too much.

  • There were some very conventional plot points that I could have lived without.

  • Unbelievable leap of faith moments that really really really pushes your suspension of disbelief.

  • The supporting cast are generally forgettable cliches.
