The Host Movie Review | |
| This is pretty silly stuff, Twi-lite if you will, but played with maximum solemnity, no discernible humor and minimal excitement. Tom Charity-CNN.com [A] bizarre Saturday Night Live sketch about a girl with a bratty alien inside her. Owen Gleiberman-Entertainment Weekly The Host isn't very good as a romance. There's not very much passion on screen, which makes the film a poor cousin to Twilight. Tirdad Derakhshani-Philadelphia Inquirer The movie's structure is awkward. There's no real narrative thrust. James Berardinelli-ReelViews The Host's infelicities-drab dialogue, ridiculous plotting, more emotional crises than there is story-are enlivened by its thematic eccentricities. Alan Scherstuhl-Village Voice Fear and dread of "the other" have long ruled American science fiction, fantasy, suspense thrillers and politics... How jarring then, and refreshing, to see The Host... take the invaders' point of view. Nancy Churnin-Dallas Morning News This limply directed, solidly boring slice of sci-fi twaddle features humanoid aliens who spend much of their screen time staring blankly into the middle distance with glazed eyes. About 10 minutes into this dross, you'll know what that feels like. Jim Schembri-3AW Just like her Twilight series, Stephenie Meyer's 2008 novel The Host becomes another feature in which people are standing around and brooding ( ... ) Proof that it's not easy to make thoughts seem riveting when little is happening. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail Niccol crafts some arresting imagery, though the slow pacing and droning new age score makes everything feel like an endless Ambien commercial. Corey Hall-Metro Times (Detroit, MI) Resistance is futile. Cynthia Fuchs-PopMatters It's a reasonably intriguing premise, but the alien invasion soon takes a back seat to the kind of tiresome teen angst where crucial plot points hinge on a kiss. Jordan Farley-SFX Magazine So badly scripted, performed and directed that it literally destroyed my faith in humanity. Marc Fennell-Triple j Three bodies plus four minds is some fertile arithmetic, but The Host can't be bothered with the intellectual or kinky ramifications of its setup. Kimberley Jones-Austin Chronicle There's much grave talk of souls in this sci-fi romance. Ironic, then, that it ends up being such a soulless and trifling affair. Mike Scott-Times-Picayune It's bewildering how sci-fi aficionado Andrew Niccol ("Gattaca," "The Truman Show") could mastermind such a parasitic mess. Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate Yeah...um...no...don't ever do this again please. Bob Grimm-Tucson Weekly Come back Bella and Edward - all is forgiven. James Croot-Flicks.co.nz Saoirse Ronan is a talented young actress but the silly dialogue and convoluted plot make this movie average in so many ways. Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com Stephenie Meyer has found a whole new way for teen girls to be conflicted about sex... MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher This is not the first time that Meyer's muddled prose has dragged an interesting director to his artistic doom. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) This is a flaccid affair ... Tim Evans-Sky Movies Compounding the dismal storytelling is Niccol's general disregard for narrative structure and pacing. -Total Film The central premise of The Host is fundamentally unfilmable and, hence, probably shouldn't have been filmed. Rebecca Davies-Film4 Teen sitcom-level dialogue, wooden acting, snogging-in-the-rain flashbacks and ludicrously chrome-plated alien racecars. Niki Boyle-The List There's a compelling idea in here somewhere, one that sadly gets bogged down in Stephenie Meyer's ongoing desire to focus intently on all the least interesting things in her own stories. Mike McGranaghan-Aisle Seat The only reason I had any hope was the presence of Saoirse Ronan in the leading role... Leonard Maltin-Leonard Maltin's Picks | |
