John Wick: Chapter 4 Review



  John Wick: Chapter 4


              As this is my first review, I'd like to provide a quick introduction to the structure I'll be using. I won't start with an overly long introduction to the movie since I assume you already know what it's about. However, if you're unfamiliar with it, a quick Google search can help. Firstly, I'll rate the movie in seven categories out of ten. Next, I'll provide the reasons for those ratings along with my experience and thoughts about the movie. Then, I'll suggest whether or not you should watch it. Finally, I'll conclude by saying, " It all comes down to preference. Everyone has their own tastes, and this is according to mine," just so you don't track down and kill me.

So here are those ratings

  •   Plot: 1/10  
  •   Acting: 7/10    
  •   Direction: 6/10
  •   Cinematography: 9/10 
  •   Soundtrack: 6/10 
  •   Originality:  2/10
  •   Emotion: 1/10 
                     After doing some 5th-grade math, I came up with an overall rating of 5/10, which is reasonable, if not too generous. Now, let's talk about the plot. Well, there's no real plot to speak of, just like in the other John Wick movies. Sure, there's some dialogue peppered in between the epic killing sprees, but it's all just an excuse to show Keanu Reeves being badass. We all know that's why we watch John Wick, but since it's a movie, I suppose I should consider the plot. I gave it a 1/10, and that's only because it finally ended.

Moving on to the acting, which I gave a 7/10. The reason for that is mainly due to the action scenes. They are pretty darn good - well choreographed and satisfying to watch. But here's the thing: there's just too much of it! Don't get me wrong, we all love seeing John Wick doing some kung fu and shooting people point-blank in the head. But this movie takes it to a whole new level. The fight scenes are so long and repetitive that I almost fell asleep at one point. And let's be real, the action is so over-the-top that it's not too far from an Indian movie. I mean, how is John Wick not dead with all of his bones broken before the end of the movie?

Now, let's talk about the cinematography, which I have to say is pretty darn good! The lighting, camera work, and locations where all the action takes place are really cinematic and eye-catching. I found myself enjoying the visual feast that was presented before me.

As for the soundtrack, it was okay. There were some electronic/metal tracks that helped to boost the action scenes, but nothing too memorable or standout.

Some diehard John Wick fans might argue that the emotional weight of the movie deserves more points. And to be fair, the ending did have a bit of emotional resonance that tugged at my heartstrings a little bit. That's why I gave it one point, but let's not get too carried away here. We're still talking about a movie where the main character kills people left and right without any remorse.

So, should you watch it? If you're in the mood for some mindless, over-the-top action, then sure, go for it. Just don't expect too much in terms of plot or character development.

In conclusion, for me, the movie felt like four overcooked dry chicken nuggets out of a six-piece box. It all comes down to preference though. Everyone has their own tastes, and this is according to mine. Overall, the action and cinematography were great, but the lack of a coherent plot and repetitive fight scenes left me feeling unsatisfied.

How AI Can Help Fight Wildfires

Wildfires are one of the most devastating natural disasters that threaten lives, property and ecosystems around the world. In 2021, more than 6.5 million acres of land were burned by wildfires in the U.S., and many more were affected by fires in other regions such as Siberia, Australia and the Mediterranean. To combat this global challenge, a collaboration between NVIDIA, Lockheed Martin and federal forest services is using artificial intelligence (AI) and digital twin simulation to better understand, predict and respond to wildfires. What is a digital twin? A digital twin is a virtual representation of a physical system or environment that can be used to simulate, analyze and optimize its behavior and performance. A digital twin can incorporate data from various sources, such as sensors, satellites, weather models and historical records, to create a realistic and dynamic model of the system or environment. How can a digital twin help fight wildfires? A digital twin of a wildfire can h...

Further in to Smartphone Astrophotography

      In my previous post, I discussed the fundamental aspects of Smartphone Astrophotography. In this article, I would like to share some personal tips and tricks that I have learned from my experience to make things easier. Before we dive into the tips, let's have a quick recap of the basics. If you are not familiar with them, you can check out my previous article titled "Astrophotography using Smartphones," where I covered topics such as using the Professional mode and various settings to use in different scenarios. Now that we know how to use our phone to capture the night sky let's talk about how to locate the objects we need to capture and when to capture them. To do this, you can use a Star tracking app from the Play Store or the App Store. These apps track your location and show you all the stars, planets, galaxies, and even satellites above you in real-time. If your phone has a gyroscope sensor, you can point it to the sky and see all those objects in the dir...
