I am disappointed with this movie. I had such high expectations. There were many gaps in portraying the story. I am very familiar with the British history so I was able to fill in the gaps. But I was with my teenage daughter and she got lost in the story. First of all, there was no explanation as to why the religion mattered. Second, many stories were rushed, no detail provided while some other stories/parts dragged. And as I watched the scene when Elizabeth and Mary met for the first time I realized that this whole movie is about women empowerment. The way the story was told, the focus was on the strength and power of the women (mostly Mary). I don't like how Elizabeth was portrayed as a weak and insecure woman. Actually, the truth was quite the opposite - she was strong and smart woman. She knew what she wanted. She never married because she knew that she would lose power the moment she tied the knot. This is what ultimately brought Mary's demise.
If the focus of the movie was telling the story rather than making a point, the result would have been much better movie. Right now the movie lacks a seamless story telling. What a waste of good actors. And btw, I think they overdid it with Elizabeth's make up.
Why do film studios have to spell stuff out for us , we are not idiots. The fact that we knew Adaline never aged from the start was a bad move. The studio should have kept us guessing...make the audience work. Why was Adaline on the Run?, Why did she have to keep changing identities?. The big reveal should have been when Adaline met Ellis' father. A great film but could have been so much better. As soon as this movie hits blu ray. I am going to make my own edit.
Against all the critics I read, I just loved the movie. Visually stunning and brlliant performances by Pratt and Lawrence. Definitly worths watch this one on cinema.
what a waste is all I can say.
Waited months too see this after stumbling across the trailer. Oh Lord what a waste of time...
What a complete waist of time this is a terrible movie very bad acting there are veteran actors like Bruce Willis and Thomas Jane in this who act like complete amateurs. The story sucks the effects suck the so called aliens act more like zombies. This is definitely on the list of one of the worst movies of the year if not ever made. Bruce Willis and Thomas jane need to be more selective on the roles they choose next time. DO NOT WAIST YOUR TIME ON THIS PIECE OF :poop::poop::poop::poop: it is boring and not at all entertaining.
Underrated
One of the best vampire movies ever!
So much more than a love story in space (lazy critics), this is a visually beautiful space epic. Its Gravity meets Titanic meets Silent Running. Recommended.
Ignore the INSANE bad reviews on this and see it! It's great! Such a great time! Honestly shocked by the bad reviews. I mean 32% on RT?! No way. Loved!
This movie is simply amazing. Portraying the horror of war while honoring the sacrifice and courage of those who endured hell on earth so that others did not need to. Be prepared for an amazing emotional roller coaster.
