Safety Not Guaranteed
Directed by Colin Trevorrow
Starring Aubrey Plaza, Jake Johnson
Rating: A
This was
easily my favorite movie of the year so far. It told a great story and through
well-timed pacing and an exciting climax, it had my attention the whole time.
There are mysteries revealed throughout the movie, and certain things we
thought were facts we find out are lies and manipulations of the truth. There
is an interesting growth in the relationships of not just between the main
characters Darius and Kenneth, but also in the lives of the two co-workers
Darius is on a mission with. While their stories may not be central to the
film, each character is on a journey of their own and you can see a
transformation as their skepticism diminishes and they let their guards down. This
movie is about the characters trying to find their place in this world and to
find the person who compliments them. It is also about believing in the
impossible, and at the end ultimately cheering it on.
This movie sounds very interesting. Time travel partner wanted is an interesting ad to find in a paper for sure. I love Aubrey Plaza: she is absolutely amazing in every role she plays, especially on Parks and Recreation. Her presence in the film is enough to inspire me to rent it and I just added it to my Blockbuster @ Home queue. It should be here in a few days via mail. I work for DISH so I’ve been using Blockbuster for some time now. I’ve found it to be convenient. The actual ad for the time travel is pretty hilarious and if they do tie it into the movie at the end I’m sure this one is worth watching.
