The process of a puzzle that is occupying my brain with just enough difficulty is where thereвЂ™s enjoyment. Nor do I have interest in a puzzle I just canвЂ™t solve and will never complete. I have no interest in or use for a completed puzzle. When I do a crossword puzzle or some other word game or whatever, completing it is never satisfying.

Never mind the issue of these laptops seemingly having the greatest batteries in the world, especially for ones described as вЂњhand-me-downs.вЂќДЄ weak installment or TV episode is very annoying to me, because in spite of my curiosity about answers, IвЂ™m much more of an in-the-moment kind of person who likes playing the game more than finishing it, win or lose. For instance, every time we saw a scene from the vantage point of a Macbook, it drove me nuts wondering why nobody in this family closes their laptops when theyвЂ™re not in use. On the fault of the filmmakers, the matter of logic and motivation also contributed to dwindling enjoyment. That obviously spoils a lot of the fun, like someone shouting answers to the crossword puzzle youвЂ™re doing over your shoulder. It didnвЂ™t help that people in the audience at my screening kept shouting вЂњthereвЂ™s_вЂќ and вЂњlook at_вЂќ at the screen as if the game was a competition. One of the issues I have with PA4 is that thereвЂ™s not enough of these mise-en-scene games for the eyes, and some are tooВ obvious. Each stationary shot becomes a challenge where we have to keep our eyes peeled both for hidden objects and subtle changes. What hooked me into the original film and has kept me playing is the way the found footage style uses the screen for the kinds of exercises that Highlights magazine prepared us for. To them, this is just a weak episode, something all TV shows have now and again and getВ over.Д«efore addressing the narrative game that is the Paranormal Activity series, I want to comment on the film at hand and the way in which each installment offers its own stack of picture puzzles.

You can find people discussing and offering theories all over the web, including from people who admit the new movie is the worst of the bunch.

I can be obsessive and exhaustive in my curiosity at times, and if anything, Paranormal Activity 4 has actually piqued my interest more than the other films have, even if itвЂ™s just by introducing new characters and taking a leap forward in time, the latter leaving a large gap in our understanding of whatвЂ™s going on. Just as with a show that decreases in quality and increases in frustration (thatвЂ™s not to necessarily mean Lost), I will likely keep with it out of curiosity.

With the latest film appearing to have the lowest reviews, CinemaScore and box office gross since the series began, will fans keep following the Paranormal Activity films until they get all the explanations theyВ seek? As Adam noted in his review of Paranormal Activity 4, itвЂ™s like watching Lost, particularly in the later years when answers to mysteries were not only kept from fans but those mysteries were joined by new questions. We are now four installments into the Paranormal Activity series вЂђ five if you include the first spin-off, Tokyo Night вЂђ and the movies are starting to feel like episodes in a long-running TV show rather than a succession of film sequels with independently existing story arcs.
