Jem And The Holograms Review

Man, has it been a good month for movies or what? Sicario, Steve Jobs, 99 Homes, Bridge Of Spies, just a top-notch line-up on modern day cinema. And then there's Jem And The Holograms. Going from those aforementioned high quality to the level of quality on full display in Jon M. Chu's latest movie is akin to enjoying a gourmet meal and then having someone violently shove 52 tons of expired Taco Bueno menu items down your throat. No, this movie is not good, in case that subtle metaphor didn't tip you off.

I know nothing of Jem And The Holograms. I'm sorry to say that, but that's one piece of pop culture has just escaped me. I'm completely unfamiliar with the mythology of this entity, so my very first exposure to the realm of Jem came through the first trailer for the 1980's TV programs live-action feature film. That trailer, as well as my thoughts on it, you can see below.
