The formula to find the volume of a pyramid. I bet you humans are already solving the equation. Well, stop. I'm not here to put your Einstein's mind to the test but it is time for another *drum rolls* movie review! *Dance gracefully* Yesterday I went to watch the movie The Pyramid. I've been wanting to watch it because it seems like a very cool horror movie. Pretty much reminds me of As Above So Below, another great horror movie. But anyway, I'm not going to talk about that. Without further a due, here are something about the movie.
Storyline;
The Pyramid is a 2014 American supernatural horror film directed by Grégory Levasseur and written by Daniel Meersand and Nick Simon. The film stars Ashley Hinshaw, Denis O'Hare, James Buckley and Daniel Amerman. The film was released on December 5, 2014 by 20th Century Fox. A team of archaeologists discover a vast pyramid buried under the Egyptian desert. As they investigate, they get lost within a complex labyrinth inside the pyramid. As they venture further and further in order to escape, the group soon realizes that they are being hunted.
Sadly the movie was poorly criticized.
"Poorly lit and thinly written, The Pyramid houses little more than clunky dialogue, amateurish acting, and dusty found-footage scares." - Rotten Tomatoes
"A stinker in every sense." - The Hollywood Reporter
"The Pyramid is cursed. Only, instead of an ancient evil, it's just plagued by inept filmmaking." - Drew Taylor of The Playlist
On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie only scored 7% based on 30 reviews and managing only to get 2.6/10. Metacritic only gave 24 out of 100 based on 16 reviews, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".

I would say that it is a good movie. Even though it is not the greatest, I think it is not the worst either. Despite the poorly rated by various movie critics, I'd say it's not bad at all. The movie is a first-person based, but also there are a few third-person view too but not a lot. Mainly first-person based. The story is about ancient Egyptian's religion. The Pharaohs and their Gods; Osiris and Anubis. The movie tells us about the ancient history of the related religion where Osiris (God of the Afterlife) has died and ascended to afterlife while his successor; Anubis, is left here in our world. Desperately wanting to join his past kings in the next life, he searches a heart that is pure and needed to weigh it in order for him to ascend to the nether. Anubis has killed many of the humans for he to obtain that one pure heart but, come on, the CGI is really unrealistic. That's quite a disappointment. I had to compare it with As Above So Below because it is so similar and I had to say it is not as good. Sorry to say humans but I'm sure it is agreeable.
The story drags a lot and it is rarely for the viewers to see the ultimate predator; Anubis. The rats have more screen time then Anubis and they're not even the most dangerous predators. Anubis can only be seen for about like what, less than 10 minutes? (Lolwhut). And the ending is not preferable by me. Everyone is dead. Dead I tell you and no one lives to tell the tale. So how are the videos are distributed? How humans? How?! I live and die by happy endings and the movie has no happy ending. Why. Just, take my heart and weigh it away please.
So! That's pretty much what the movie is all about. Probably my judgement now won't be the same of what you humans will see. I'm not saying it's all bad but hey, not saying it's all good either (Muahahaha). So, don't hold back to go watch the movie. Who knows it'll get better right?
Nah.
Peace humans.
