Expectations will almost always affect the way you feel about something. I found that to be the case often when seeing movies. I have decided to start writing down my expectations before I go see movies each weekend. Then when I review the movie, I will post a star rating as well as whether or not expectations were met or even exceeded. The movies I plan on seeing this weekend are A Monster Calls and Hidden Figures.
A Monster Calls:
The main expectation I have for this movie is tears, lots and lots of tears. I've heard this movie is extremely emotional. I am also expecting some incredible visuals. The director J.A. Boyona has made some visually stunning movies with The Orphanage and The Impossible. Boyona is also set to direct the sequel to Jurassic World, so I am looking forward to how seeing this helps set up what to expect from that movie.
Hidden Figures:
I really enjoy movies about NASA and space. Hidden Figures may not take place in space but it deals with the space race with Russia and I'm interested in learning more about how that went down. I am also interested in learning more about how things were done before we had computers and how it was a group of African-American women that were an important part of NASA. Being an engineer I am also looking forward to the nerdy math stuff. After seeing Janelle Monae in Moonlight and I am looking forward to seeing her in Hidden Figures. I have been a fan of her music for a while now so I am interested in how she continues to do acting.
Expectations for both movies this weekend are relatively high. From what I have heard so far, they should both live up to those expectations. Check back later for reviews on both films (hopefully).
