15 Weirdest Movies Of 2016
15. Gods Of Egypt
In a way, we should be thankful a big budget movie so downright weird as Gods Of Egypt can still get made. This fantasy epic features a story where a sun god prevents a giant space worm eating the planet - every night - and Gerard Butler plays a hammy villain who also transforms into a CGI monster that would look dodgy on PS1 era graphics.
It’s sheer insanity, but the real tragedy is it’s not much fun. It’s stilted and kind of dull for the most part, with one-dimensional heroes and weirdness for the sake of it. Again it’s kind of incredible a studio thought sinking tens of millions into it was a great idea, and maybe if it had been more fun it could have worked.
It could evolve into a future cult favourite, but it’s definitely not the franchise starter it was designed to be.
