Old [DVD]

Say what you will about M. Night Shyamalan’s films, but I think he’s truly returned to form since 2016’s Split. And while Glass (2019)—the conclusion of the Unbreakable trilogy—was a little unsatisfactory, his latest film, Old (2021), is another win in my book. I appreciate when filmmakers fully explore an idea in their movies, and Old is precisely that. Shyamalan imagines all the different permutations of the concept of rapid aging and fits them into a scenario and his trademark plot twist that works incredibly well.Part of the fun of Old is how the characters slowly discover that they are trapped on a beach where time moves much more rapidly than they are used to. The problem-solving and conflicts that arise from this unsuspecting group of victims are fun to watch as they realize that their lifespans are a ticking clock that limits how long they can stay there. I appreciate that most of the cast in this movie aren’t incredibly famous (with perhaps the exception of Rufus Sewell), so it didn’t distract me with a bunch of A-list celebrities when the concept of rapid aging is the star of the show.Yes, I will grant that there is an amount of suspension of disbelief in this movie. I will also admit that many sub-plots were crammed into this concept. These sub-plots are only explored for a moment before moving on to other things. Still, I feel the twist ending truly enhanced this concept of rapid aging, and it helps to explain so much of this film’s coincidences. Others might find endless amounts of things wrong with this movie, and I’ll agree that it’s not perfect. However, it’s a fun thriller that I truly enjoyed watching.A full and entertaining exploration of the concept of rapid aging, I give Old 4.5 stars out of 5.

Was very suspenseful to the end

M.Night fan

I have read so many negative reviews bit I still wanted to see it; and glad I did. Very imaginative. After so many sequels and remakes; it's nice to have something imaginative.

When I first saw "Old" I have to admit I did not understand it the first time. I did not think I would watch it again. Well, I went back to it and found the movie was very intriguing on finding out you are aging before the day is over on a deserted beach which offers no way off and the resort which sent you there is involved and watching you. I find the people all play off each other well. The movie is very good and I bought it.

It was an ok movie, but I was expecting it to be better with more twists and turns from M. Night, his stuff is usually pretty exciting, this was kind of boring.

Movie started off suspenseful, but as it went along, it got almost boring with not many surprises. It's like M. Night is having difficulty thinking up new stuff.

Disc quality good. The story is unique which I enjoyed. It did drag a little in certain places but still worth watching. I liked the ending.
