I was looking forward to Retro so much after the spectacular DoubleX. On paper, it has everything to be great: a writer who knows his craft, a music director who knows exactly what works for the movie, the lead actor producing it, a production house that has backed good works of art, and all the hype was positive until the release. It has been two days since I watched it, and I’m still wondering how the hell did this fantastic bunch of people make such a terrible movie.

I am a huge fan of science fiction films. I am also a huge fan of films that know their audience and spoonfeed them as much as needed. It is not reasonable to have more than 30 minutes of silence involving just primates right in the beginning of the film and expect tamil audience to completely comprehend it the first time they watch it. At the same time, it is also not reasonable to make something like 7aam Arivu and expect people to like it. Indru Netru Naalai found the perfect middle ground in-between recently. And now 24 also has joined the league. It is a good science fiction film with the right amount of spoonfeeding that won’t make any viewer feel too stupid or too smart.
