F9/The Fast Saga/Fast & Furious 9

[bob]

I saw this with my dad in the theater last week.

It was really solid....except for one thing.. spoiler ahead in green text









In the movie a car is shot into outer space.... and runs for a little while like nothing super crazy has happened and this is a normal everyday thing

this is the jumping the shark moment in the franchise

everything else in the Fast and Furious Franchise has a level of realism and logic to it... even if it is far fetched and times

this is just really, really dumb and destroys all suspension of belief while watching the movie





and aside from that it was really good

the plot was interesting, good performances all around --- but that was just ... well stupid


3.5 out of 5 cars

Thanks, bob. Someone told me that there's a tribute to Paul Walker in it, is that correct?

yes... spoiler in green text










at the end sort of, but I kind of think in the film it's inching towards exploitation because they use Paul Walker's character of Brian O'Conner as a plot point  in the movie soin keeping an eye on his child as well as Toretto's child while Dom and his crew attempt to save the day...


but yes at the very end you can see the blue car he usually drove in the franchise as his crew get together for a meal you can see it pull up to join them... you can't see him, but it's strongly suggested it's Brian

I had to look it up because I just thought it was weird that a car pulled up and we, the audience, didn't see who it was and that's what I found as far as an explanation

[bob]

one more thing about this

there's a mid post credits scene

Nice movie for a casual evening;) Dynamics is one of the biggest advantages of Fast and Furious 9!
