Its an awesome movie, The concept was awesome and story was decent although at end it felt like usual predictable movie, The music at tragic scenes was brilliant, the camera movements and smooth flow of movie with it the shocking stuff although predictable felt awesome, The acting was great, the oldage makeup was good and the cameo of M.Night was breif but amazing, The starting setup was great the hotel setting and the weird welcome and the lady's "Fits" scene and the sudden trip to island it was smooth, then the islands tragic stuff's where old lady,the dog and the model died with it everyone loosing minds and specailly the pregnent stuff it was literally "Mind-blowing" then the family reunion and the one by one people dying specailly the doctor kill at knife battle and his model wife killed in the cave with arms and legs twisted it was terrifyingly amazing, The camera and light from far of land felt suspiciously awesome and then at the final act the parents getting old together and there death it was tragicly sweet and then the brother and sister's clue solving and escape,all the stuff felt awesome until that,then all of sudden it felt lost right from the doctors death every stuff felt predictable, the ending lab facility made sense although the way next trail stuff and arrest is done it was a decent end to the movie, It was an awesome experience the pacing was smooth and the story/concept felt intriguing and somewhat terrifying/creepy, Overall its an entertaingly awesome Movie!

Maybe it was my cup of tea because of the setting reminds me of the series lost but it is a recommendation for the people who love thrillers in general. Expand

An intriguing story that keeps you on the edge of your seat on what's happening on this tropical island, with of course the classic twist that m night shyamalan always brings to his movies, it's definitely worth a watch

But he has a career resurgence as of late, and Old maintains that steady streak of quality, quirky thrillers that is his forte. It is surprisingly a heart rending affair and has a strong social commentary on how we approach 'old age' in this modern society. Expand

The movie does seem to slow down while all the characters make dumb choices that keep the movie halted. After a certain point you are just waiting for the inevitable to occur. Overall really unique and enjoyable. Expand

Old, like most of Shyamalan's films, is a wild trip and incredibly nuanced with many lessons to learn and morals to absorb. The actors chosen for the roles of this film were spot-on and it was shocking but thoroughly entertaining as well.

Once again, M. Night delivers something that it is worth thinking about long after the credits roll. I think it’s one of his more interesting films, particularly the end twist. Overall, I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Dazzling direction, absurd characters and grotesque elements. The plot twist in this case is not fully successful and does not do justice to the rest of the film. Despite this, the film is quiet great and is probably among the best of the director. The soundtrack is excellent while the italian dubbing is unfortunately rather poor. Expand

There are some moments that make the movie fall short of great, but for a 7, the movie packs in a good amount of good. I liked the idea displayed and the cast was great to fit the roles.

I would've enjoyed it more if there was more backstory in regards to the characters that participated and I kinda disliked the fact that some of them were killed pretty fast and actually kinda stupidly. The acting was pretty great for the most part especially the kids actors.The effects were also pretty good and I wanna give a huge thumbs up for the makeup artists which probably did the biggest job of everyone in the movie since there were constant subtle changes in the characters in every scene. Ending was pretty great kinda reminded me of an entire SCP foundation story which is a big bonus for me since I love that **** Expand

M Night Shyamalan is a fantastic director. I do not understand why everybody hates him so much. Even his worst movie is still better than most other directors best movies including Spielberg. Old is no exception.

Would you murder hundreds of innocent people to save the lives of millions of people?

If you like M. Night Shyamalan films, you will want to watch "Old".

If you watched M. Night Shyamalan films previously, you wouldn't need to read reviews to know what you would be watching. This isn't M. Night Shyamalan's best work - but, it is worth watching. It is based on a French-language Swiss graphic novel "Sandcastle" by Pierre Oscar Levy and Frederik Peeters.

Had the beach been more of an unexplained scientific phenomenon than a puzzle to be solved, Old could have been something far more existentially dreadful.

What constitute has a reveal doesn't really surprise. You know about it from almost the start. But that part with the children is interesting. What I did like was how the clues were setup. In various key moments, and in that sens the movie is very balanced in terms of pace. The actors were good but nothing exceptional. The music was fair enough. I give it 72%. A good movie that has some minors flaws but still entertaining. Expand

Old is, I think, the 2nd film that we have gotten from the famed director M. Night Shyamalan that harkens back to his old glory. First, being The Visit. And that’s no knock on Split and I haven’t seen Glass yet.

Old is, I think, the 2nd film that we have gotten from the famed director M. Night Shyamalan that harkens back to his old glory. First, being The Visit. And that’s no knock on Split and I haven’t seen Glass yet.

Old is a very enjoyable movie. The premise is unique, but often gets ahead of itself. Spoken dialogue is very choppy and unrealistic. Most of the speaking parts are spoken exposition which at times is very boring. But I’d be lying if I didn’t say I enjoyed the journey.

It’s far from perfect. It’s no Signs or The Sixth Sense, but for anyone clamoring for some new M. Night, I definitely think it’s worth the price of admission - and more importantly, your time.

Just know it’s clunky. It’s far from perfect. And I think what ruins the movie most is M. Night’s need to re-create his former glory.

It's about a family who travels to a beautiful resort on an island. Everything seems like it should, and they're enjoying their time. After a while, they are invited to a part of the island where only a "select few" guests are allowed to go. They don't know that the beach isn't an ordinary beach on that part of the island - time and space work differently there. They arrive with two other couples, and things go south from there. They realize that they're aging incredibly fast and have to find a way out before they die of either old age, their illnesses, or… each other! The ending is one hell of a twist, and in the usual manner that M. Night Shyamalan's movies do, it gives the viewer a lot to chew on about some ethical and moral issues. Fantastic film. Now, does it live up to his other movies? That’s hard for me to say. Some of you might like it, and some of you might not. But if you're anything like me and spend more time scrolling for movies than actually watching them, do yourself a favor and watch this! Expand

Pecca di originalità nellaUn altro bel film del grande Shyamalan, non è impeccabile nei dettagli come ci ha abituati, ma comunque girato durante gli ultimi periodi di lockdown non credo che si poteva fare di meglio, ottimo in tutti i sensi. Pecca di originalità nella trama visto che è qualcosa di già visto, esempio Maze Runner, quella casa nel bosco ecc ecc, ma ha usato un qualcosa di già visto per passare un messaggio importante,è molto romantico come film, mette in luce dettagli della vita che a noi sfuggono e cioè il tempo, di quanto sia importante e di quanto ne sprechiamo. Un Film di Shyamalan, profondo, serio e molto ricco di particolarità, un film da vedere assolutamente, ed è presente anche lui nel film un dettaglio non da meno.

Another good film by the great Shyamalan, it is not as flawless in detail as it has accustomed us to, but anyway shot during the last periods of lockdown I don't think we could have done better, excellent in every sense. Sin of originality in the plot since it is something already seen, for example Maze Runner, that house in the woods etc etc, but he used something already seen to pass an important message, it is very romantic as a film, it highlights details of life that escapes us and that is time, how important it is and how much we waste of it. A film by Shyamalan, deep, serious and very rich in particularities, a film to be seen absolutely, and there is also a detail not least in the film.
