Inferno is the dumbest movie I've seen in a while. 

It is about the overpopulation theory. Dumb base but ok...

Then, a guy decided to create a gigavirus that should kill half of human population.

here is first problem The movie mentioned, that the population is doubling every 40 years, so geues what? That is not a solution.

But ok. He plants the virus bomb, and sets a timer. Why not just start it without the timer? Because it's cooler this way.

But then, his GF who agrees with the plan wants to know where the bomb is, so the guy literally hires a hitman agency to create a theater to lead his GF with someone who doesn't agree with the plan all the way to the bomb using cryptic history references...

What??? Why??? The bomb is fucking ready you idiot.

@LukeAlmighty but Inferno from Dario Argento is one my favourite horrors.. perhaps because a part of the movie was not directed by Dario Argento :-D

@mig
Yeah, I expected "directed by Hideo Kojima" to jump out at any moment. Have you played the phantom pain btw? There were some plot elements copied ti the last detail.

@LukeAlmighty phantom pain? I have no idea.. it is perhaps a totally different movie.. this one i mentioned is from 1980.. actually the plot is very stupid, but the movie is not about the plot from my point of view.. it is about red-blue atmosphere, of course, stylized, but it is the genre.. and the music by Goblins is perfect..

Not that I particularly like this subject, but incidentally, I had this exact same problem with another movie when following the antagonist’s logic: Avengers: Infinity Wars & Endgame.

I take it Marvel movies aren’t popular on the Fediverse, for good reason, and I don’t like most of them either since they play it so extremely safe, but since I’m a movie fan and am also interested about the current Zeitgeist at a time, I watched all of them up until Endgame.

Having said that, the MCU “jumped the shark” completely with these two movies. If Thanos wanted to teach the galaxy/universe a lesson, then why was his plan to eradicate “just” half of the population? One generation later and the original number would be reached again. Just by following his rationale, wouldn’t it make more sense to for him to erase 90-99.9% of the population? I guess that wouldn’t have made for a very action-filled second movie, with all the nitty-gritty they would have to deal with and almost all of the superheroes having vanished.

This one plot-point is something I can’t simply ignore and anything else that comes after it just seems so silly and nonsensical because of it. I can’t believe those were some of the most expensive and highest-grossing movies ever made and are held in high regard by the general audience.
