 Yeah, coffee! We're actually above that now. This is a highly sophisticated style of programming. Ooh, that's a hot mug, guys. Hi guys, this is my review for El Camino, the Netflix film following the events of Breaking Bad. Least to say, this is a really, really, really good long episode of Breaking Bad. Yes, this is a movie. Yes, it is two hours long. Oddly enough though, it feels like an episode of Breaking Bad. A long one, another, another season finale in terms for Jesse Pinkman. The film has a much different look than that of the show. Something that people were pointing out was that the color grading was a bit different, and it is, it's going for a different cinematic feel. And it works in this film's favor. There's a lot of really great shots in this show that both harken back to how the show was made, but also kind of push it a little bit forward. As a writer-director, Vince Gilligan not only makes something that furthers his story that he created so long ago, but it also harkens back to and pays homage to the aspects of the show that made it great in the first place. There's a lot of little things here, time lapses, overhead shots, these tiny little things here and there that while I'm not admittedly the biggest Breaking Bad fan, I think the show is amazing. I don't watch it every year like some people do. I do appreciate what this show brought in terms of television programming. But even I could see these little things that they were doing throughout the film like, oh, I remember that, I remember that. And something that this movie does that doesn't really make it a movie and makes it a television show, like I said, is that half of this film is in the past in different forms of the past, whether it's kind of midway through before everything went to shit, after Jesse got put into the cage and what his life was like after that, as well as some even going all the way back to the first season, in fact. There's all these little bits that you can tell that Gilligan wanted to put into the show, but he thought maybe they had to be cut and you can see why they were cut, but at the same time you can see the relevance and the importance they are to the story. And essentially this movie, which I haven't even mentioned yet, is all about Jesse Pinkman just like in the, technically it's in the first 72 hours of him being liberated. Like there's some stuff that goes a little bit further on but really it's him just getting out of town. That's the movie in a nutshell. And I really liked that. I loved the pacing. I loved that you were constantly on edge. There's a lot of really, really tense moments, whether it's him breaking into this room or him being in this room with these guys coming in and there's a shot with a pistol in the dark that is such a good shot. There's the climax, which is just so well done. There's a lot of moments of this that kind of go back and forth between the humor that the show was well known for but also the intensity that the show was known for. And it flips back and forth between these two things really, really well. But again it comes back to being just a really good TV movie. There's a few things that while I pointed out while the clarity is really good there's some shots that are just high ISO. I don't know whether it was my television and I couldn't understand why because there was a lot of shots that would go back between being really grainy to normal 4K resolution back to really grainy again. That's the only tech complaint I had. The fact that they made this, what, five, six years after the season finale of Raking Bad I think really helps with how Aaron Paul portrays Jesse Pinkman because he went through absolute hell in that cage. He aged, he matured. A lot of things happened to him that made him a different person when he came out and I liked that aspect. And Aaron Paul portrays that so well in this while still having a few Pinkmanisms throughout. There's one in particular which was like, oh right, this is a full on Pinkman but he is a different person. Fantastic acting, fantastic writing, fantastic cinematography, really good pacing despite the fact that so much of it is in the past and just a really good homage and a final send off to the show. I don't know whether this was Gilligan's want from the beginning or not but this is definitely the final chapter in Raking Bad. I feel that this is him concluding that story. He wasn't able to, in its entirety, he finished Walter White's story but this is Pinkman's story coming to an end. But again, as I said, this is a really, really good long TV episode of the show. I wouldn't say it's a movie but then again, how many times can you say that a movie from a TV show is really good? I always kind of compare it to X Files Fight for the Future. I really liked that movie, the one afterwards was shit. So in the end, I'm gonna give El Camino a six out of seven, I really enjoyed this movie. I think it's a great homage to the Breaking Bad legacy and it's definitely something that should be watched by people who were fans of it. I really think that's the end of it. I don't know what they're doing with Better Call Saul. I just have never had the want to watch that show because I never thought that I could watch a show about that character. He was a great side character but as a main character, I don't know. I couldn't do it. Anyways, that's all from me, guys. Tell me what you thought of this movie. What do you think of it? Do you think it's a great send off to the show or else wise? Anyways, that's all from me. I'll see you guys next time. Thanks for watching the video.
