#50: Fahrenheit 451 (2018)

Disclaimer; I have never read this book. So, clearly, this review is a little different.

I suppose this is where a lot of modern YA novels got their initial ideas and since this film doesn't really dig deep onto it's philosophies, it just feels like a bad YA film adaptation.

Complete with different names for common things. So many. Even context clues weren't enough at some points to grasp it.

Out of our three leads, it's kind of same shit different day for Boutella and Shannon, but at least this is somewhat outside of Jordan's wheelhouse.

I hesitate to say that Fahrenheit 451 2018 is bad, but it is really shallow.


So, uh, here's some observations.


The heel-face turn comes about thirty minutes before the movie ends. That's not enough time.



Uh if you're illegally uploading books to a server, you don't make a GUI. You upload from the command line. Harder for people to really know what you're doing if they look over your shoulder. Montag (Jordan) ends up burning servers and PCs, but if they uploaded the books to a online storage provider....what are you going to do?

Does Net Neutrality exist in this world? Probably not, eh?
