IN TIME PG-13
Moviegoer Opinions:
Based on a theater exit polling of 55 moviegoers:
TEENS: One male loved "In Time," and the other three rated it above average, which indicates a movie they enjoyed very much but didn't love. Great reviews from the ladies. Half loved it and the rest enjoyed it very much, rating it above average. One rated it terrible but that's likely a bogus review.
TWENTYSOMETHINGS: Great reviews from both the males and females. Three-quarters absolutely loved "In Time," rating it "Excellent" or "Fantastic."
ADULTS: Almost great reviews from both the males and females. Over half rated it very high, indicating they loved "In Time." Many more rated it above average, which indicates a movie they enjoyed very much. Unfortunately, a fair number of males and even more females, only rated it average to below average. That's why I said these are "Almost" great reviews. Cinema Review Prediction: (before opinions)
Reactions will be good for this science fiction drama. Males will enjoy more than females, and younger and older adults will enjoy about equally. Average critic rating:
Above Average (Berardinelli, Internet Critic)
Good (Roger Ebert)
Above Average (USA Today)
Above Average (Chicago Tribune)
***** THE BIG YEAR PG
Moviegoer Opinions:
Based on a theater exit polling of 72 moviegoers:
TEENS: Seven of the eight teens enjoyed "The Big Year" very much. Half indicated that they loved it. Only one rated it as low as good/average.
TWENTYSOMETHINGS: The male and female reviews are nearly identical. About a third loved it and another third enjoyed it very much. The final third rated it average, which is a bit disappointing considering the actors in this movie.
ADULTS: These are good reviews, but not great reviews. The male and female reviews are very similar and show that about half enjoyed this movie very much with many loving it. Unfortunately, there is a very high percentage of good/average reviews, which aren't bad, but they indicate a mediocre movie that you aren't likely to find memorable.Cinema Review Prediction: (before opinions)
Reactions will be good for this comedy, with the best reactions coming from older adults. Males and females will probably enjoy about equally. Average critic rating:
Good (Roger Ebert)
Above Average (USA Today)
Average (Chicago Tribune)
Average (Washington Post)
***** THE THING R
Moviegoer Opinions:
Based on a theater exit polling of 35 moviegoers:
TEENS: These are good, but not great, reviews from the males and fairly good reviews from the females. Nearly everyone enjoyed it, at least to some degree, but few loved it.
TWENTYSOMETHINGS: Disappointing reviews from both the males and females. Half the guys enjoyed it very much but the rest of the reviews are low to very low. Only about a third of the females really enjoyed it. Over half only rated it as good/average, which is a bit disappointing, especially considering some rated it very low.
ADULTS: The four males rated it above average, which indicates a movie they enjoyed very much but didn't love. The two females rated it below average, which is obviously not good.Cinema Review Prediction: (before opinions)
Reactions will be best with the young adult male horror base, and on the whole reactions will be fairly good but not great. Younger viewers will prefer over older ones and males definitely over females. Average critic rating:
Good (Berardinelli, Internet Critic)
Above Average (Roger Ebert)
Average (USA Today)
Good (Chicago Tribune)
***** DREAM HOUSE PG-13
Moviegoer Opinions:
Based on a theater exit polling of 37 moviegoers:
TEENS: Of the seven female reviews, two loved "Dream House," one enjoyed it very much, three rated it just average and one thought it was below average.
TWENTYSOMETHINGS: One male loved it, one rated it above average and one rated it average. The one females loved it.
ADULTS: Both the male and female reviews are fairly decent but certainly not great. A small percentage loved it and half of the rest rated it above average, which indicates a movie they enjoyed very much, but didn't love. Unfortunately, close to half of the reviews indicated it was just an average movie, which is a bit disappointing.Cinema Review Prediction: (before opinions)
Reactions will be low for this slow, talky thriller. Males will enjoy more than females. Younger and older adults will enjoy about equally. Average critic rating:
