The story isn't that bad, but I have to admit that there are some boring scenes in it. Some of the stuff rly should have been cut out, and it is a matter of taste if you like that the whole movie is set up as an "documentary"... Internal Ship cameras documenting everything, and all the time of the whole movie is that mission logo .........
-.-
The problem is, that the mid and the ending of this movie is very predictable.
No way that it es a "Masterpiece" in Science Fiction.
It is no real Science Fiction... at least to me.
funny movie. =)
nice for a friday evening if u don't wanna go out.
First of all: Pompeii felt like a little bit like „Gladiator“ with Russel Crowe, but more than in a bad way.
If you gonna watch this movie, you get good special effects , and a bad story line with some plot holes. You already might know at the beginning of the movie, how it is gonna end - you at least gonna guess the middle „game“ of this Hollywood production.
And I feel a little bit bad for movies which have a bad story. You put millions of millions of Dollar$ into the special effects, production, actors and you put a fast-food story line in it? Why!?
.-/
Paul W.S. Anderson used the special effects too much. In those scenes, where the action is going on, the cuts were not the very best. He want to put so much action in it, that you might get a little bit confused - at least I got a little bit confused during watching.
And since I do not want to spoiler too much: a special scene where a character is dying… come on: You possible can not put more pathetic bullshit in it - can you?
Pompeii or is it spelled Pompeji (?) is getting 6 out of 10 trakt hearts. It is okay to watch this movie, if you want to turn your brain off for ~1.5 hours, but not worth to watch it a second time.
It is a movie with a lot of action scenes and violence. It is okay to watch it at home, but in cinema I would think I wasted my money a bit. ... so don't expect too much, because there are also some plot holes in it.
For a movie produced in Germany it isn't that bad.
But some plot holes can be found here. -.-
Is the only reason why he did get hit by a lightning, that the producers had a reason to get a nice name for a movie?
Senseless.
-.-
The first movie was far much better, I enjoyed Sea of Monsters as well ... but maybe I was in the wrong mood for watching this.... but it felt like something was wrong with this movie. It doesn't felt right.
Haha.
Tom Cruise finally has a ugly shirt-less body.
This one is the worst of all Resident Evil movies.
Explosions are every two minutes, but thats okay when watching a Resident Evil movie - because thats what you are expecting. But the story is really on the bottom now.
I watched the movie with some friends and no one did like it. Bla!
S P O I L E R
There will be a sequel to that and in the end humans are fighting now against the Red Queen. Honestly? Bring the Terminator-Plot in it because they dont know what to do with the story?
Great. I got really sad watching this movie.
I am not quite sure, if that is an anti-USA or western world propaganda movie.
How much did Apple Pay for that product placement!?
The problem which I got with this movie is, that you some scenes are really not necessary. There are soooo many long-breathed scenes in it, where I asked myself if the director and or writers had some problems to get to the length of a full movie.
They tried to do some twists in the movie, but I only got surprised one time really - so there they did a bad job with it. They tried it so much, that I got disappointed like "Srsly? Another "Uh you might be the terrorist - thing?" -.-
Since this is an airplane - movie I have to say that in "Flightplan" they did a far better job to "build up" tension and keeping it (or maybe it is just me because I like Jodie Foster really much).
It is not a waste of time watching it, but it also is not one of the best movies of 2014 till now. ...
= = = = = = = = = = = =
= = = Spoiler ahead = = =
= = = = = = = = = = = =
The best scene in my opinion is the landing scene of the airplane, and that was worth watching it. Harrr :)
"Jack Bauer" in Pompeii.
Well let's see ^^
I read the plot and there was the eye catcher daydreams in it.
Who does not day dream - at least I do sometimes in the park on a sunny afternoon - and that is why I watched the movie. I expected a movie where a completely different world is building up, kind of Cloud Atlas . And that was my expectations of this movie.
Well if you were thinking the same, you might get disappointed like I did, because The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is much different than the already mentioned movie.
I do not want to spoiler to much here, but the movie start with the day dreams, and after some time you really know what is gonna happen next, no even know how it is gonna end - about 20 minutes after the beginning.
The acting is average (it is a Ben Stiller movie - what do u expect^^), the pictures are nice sometimes, and you might get a few laughs - but not that many.
What a pitty! because the movie and the plot would have so great potential in it, which is simply not gonna be used here. :-(
That is the reason I give it only 6 out of 10 Trakt hearts.
It took a long time before I watched this movie, because I thought it has a different plot: A movie about some magicians, who are doing tricks - a show in Las Vegas, and there is also a movie about that.
Well, in some way that is plot ^^ but it was better than expected, because they build in a nice plot with the FBI around it to also get some action parts in the story line.
But I have to say, that the movie didn't convinced me at all. The characters were nice, but they don't felt like magicians - they felt like actors - as they are.
I gave this movie 6/10 points because it was "fair"... definitely I won't watch it a second time.
In my opinion, the movie is something between "fair" and "good".
Yah, the story is not the very best. It is not very deep, there are not many surprises in that movie, and you gonna predict in the beginning, what is the highest possibility how it is gonna end.
And I usually don't really like those kinds of movies.
And I also don't like Will Smith a lot.
But. Not all movies need many different story lines (like in Cloud Atlas) and big surprises so its gonna okay to produce such stuff. It is more important to me, that I do not get bored. Well, and it didn't happened in After Earth.
The animations are okay - not the best… that creature looked terrible bad. More than a monster than an alien… and that in a Science Fiction movie. We got horror movies for that stuff^^.
The Science Fiction part doesn't come to short anyways, not toooooo much action all the time.
What was really annoying was that military behaviour. All that saluting and to say "Sir" to his father. Bla!
It's okay to watch that movie, chillin' at home with some friends… so give it a try.
So it is not a horrible movie, and I do not understand the bad ratings here.
This movie unwatched so long in my library, and True Grit has really good ratings so I give it a try.
Even if i don't like Western movies. And I really, really don't like Western.
The plot:
The father of a very young girl got killed. She wants revenge and is hiring two wild-west guys to capture/kill him and she joins them on their hunt, which the guys don't like at the beginning.
Let's start with the actors: all great! All of them. Even if I am not that big fan of Matt Damon i have to admit that this movie might be the best actor-performance he ever did. The only problem I had with Jeff Bridges. As English is not my mother tongue it was hard to understand what he was saying. It was more than mumbling rather than talking .-/ So maybe you want to turn subtitles on.
The pictures were great. Honestly - wonderful. Open wide areas put you in the atmosphere that you are really in the Wild, wild west :)
Also the story is good. But it is still a western - movie. So all the time I feel like: "Oh I should like that." ... but I did not. Maybe I am more the Star Trek guy, or just a guy who doesn't like western.
So if you feel the same: you can watch it. But put your preferred Smartphone or Tablet device next to you when watching this movie so you don't get bored.
Shit. I really expected something more from that movie.
As I read the plot, I expected something great like in Short Bus ( http://trakt.tv/movie/shortbus-2006 )
But there wasn't. The plot is very simple and unfortunately there are not many surprises in it:
Guy wants to get back is girlfriend. She broke up because he is VERY conservative and really poor in bed. So he needs some help and finds that in a nice young lady. She is working as a stripper and got problems too: she has no clue about financial stuff but is very good in sex-stuff.
So they are helping each other. And a love story develops which you already predicted. .-/
But in my opinion it isn't a very sexual movie. Yes there are some scenes which are sexual but nothing that justifies the title "My Awkward Sexual Adventure"! The movie is more about a role-changing, role playing game. And that also doesn't really work out too much. But maybe its bad I compare it to a movie like shortbus.
But anyway: some funny scenes are in this movie, and it is quite enjoyable. But only 6 out of 10.
If you expect something really cool or good you better watch Shortbus.
If you do not expect to much of this movie - its gonna be okay and worth watching it.
The plot is set in the near future: A man is getting Alzheimer, his son/daughter send him a robot to help him. The old man was into some crime stuff when he was younger.... and now he got a new toy to play with :D
That's all without to spoiler too much.
They are really some funny scenes in it, but I like it more because of the possibility that using a robot in this way might be the future. Think about it: Its already possible to have cleaning-helps at your home. Vaccuum Cleaner are already on the market, and another one who's wiping your floor. (I got both by the way^^). Not to mention expensive toys like the Aibo from Sony. So lets see how this continues.
But if you expect many action scenes in this movie like iRobot: nope! And thats okay with that movie.
If you want to chill out on your couch after a sunny day: that movie would make it. And you might get some laughs out of it.
I give it a "Fair" so - 6 / 10 points.
Nothing really new in this movie. I am a little bit dissappointed
I expected that the plot is on Mars .-/
A nice movie anyway, but not worth to watch it a 2nd time.
Where is the time when Cameron Diasz was in funny movies. Seems a long time ago...
If u like Iron Man, u gonna like this movie as well.
I guess it was one of the first 3D movies ever produced?
Well, they play with the 3D effects. Nice remake but defiantly not worth to watch it a 2nd time.
The whole movie is about a man in a box in the trunk of a car....
Crappy Crap!
One of the Worst Movies i ve Seen in 2011/2012
I really like Julia Roberts and in this movie she did a great job again. Well, a nice remake of the fairy tale, nothin' real new - but thats oke.
btw: those dwarfs: i first saw them on Baywatch. I always have to think about Baywatch when they appear in other movies/tv shows ^^
an action movie with a lot of fighting but it was really boring.
It seems like Marvel can't get on their feet again.
I didn't enjoy the story at all. Can recommend to watch it one time, if you got nothing else to do.
