Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Cocoon actually is?
Honestly, Cocoon would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

The cinematography in Cocoon is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Everyone praising the Cocoon performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Cocoon?
Look, I wanted to love Cocoon. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
