I really wanted to like this one, the set up was so interesting. But it ended up being so disappointing. The way the characters acted it was like they were just puppets being pushed along by the story rather than the story being shaped by the characters themselves. And the ending was the most dissatisfying thing. I usually like dark stuff like that but it just ended up being bland.
[DOK.fest] With an intelligent approach, allowing Gorbachev to lead the conversation, the film offers a close look at the former leader of the USSR who now shows his weakness. This intimate portrait is that of an enigmatic figure who seems to silence many things. But, curiously, this representation does not minimize him but rather praises his position as one of the most relevant leaders in modern history.
This was such an adorable, funny and entertaining film! Underrated!
The first season had a lot more to like in my opinion, only a couple episodes stood out this time, and they wouldn't have been in my personal top 4 from the first season.
Some great stories, especially in terms of CGI (Automated Customer Service, Pop Squad, Snow in the Desert). But in terms of storyline, the rest is thinner than the first series. Pity.
Was rather excited for this but unfortunately I can't find myself getting into it.
I'm in a better mood now! :innocent: -humming I Will Follow Him-
Great movie !
Very good TV show. Very current theme that keeps you in tension especially in the last episodes. Recommended.
This was not bad at all. I first started watching predicting it was going to be bad, I don't even know why. But, actually, it turned up quite good. Nice setting and plot. Great acting, in my opinion. I thought the soundtracks were freakin' good. Overall, it's nice. I personally enjoyed it.
PS: a Jottun means a giant, yes? Wonder what's the name of that creature! lol Anyways, that monster's design or whatever it is, was really good, Imho.
It's not exactly a 'Netflix-Original'. Started out as a joint production between Universal and Legendary Films with a budget of 70-million. After completion, Universal wasn't happy with it, Legendary didn't like their feedback and they had a falling out -- the planned 2016 summer theatrical release was canceled. Chinese-owned Legendary Films shopped around, Netflix picked it up as an already finished movie and branded it a 'Netflix-Original'.
Not awful. Competent, experienced cast; OK story and decent effects contribute to a production that had some budget to work with. A few plot-holes here and there, like beings that can fly over things, yet laying iron shavings on the ground provides a barrier of protection because they can't step in it. Contrived ending, and, so what if they kinda-sorta borrowed a central plot mechanism from the 1995 anime movie "Ghost in the Shell" https://trakt.tv/movies/ghost-in-the-shell-1995 -- it's an enjoyable watch... :-)
Don't be fooled by the slow start, it become awesome if you have some patient. and the way the story told, the girl point of view, is really unique in the genre. nice!
A super hero villian who succeeds with their diabolical plan to destroy the world and ironically save it at the same time. WHAT? So much love for the creativity of this movie.
I wish I found a hole in the ground, so I could throw this movie in it.
Underrated and an excellent Coen Brothers film..
Crazy action sequences. Really intense, with some impressive choreography. It's not a completely shallow action flick either, with its interesting, if a little convoluted plot. Really impressed.
Nazi's, dinosaurs, aliens, the Vrill Society, the Hollow Earth, Agartha, Hitler riding a T-Rex... what's not to like right?
Much like the first Iron Sky, this movie could have been amazing... If it weren't written by a bunch of 12-year olds.
A pesar de las historias te ries por lo surrealista de algunas situaciones. Aunque como todas las historias formadas por varios relatos, tiene algunos mejores que otros.
I get why the critics gave it the positive reviews they did; the cinematography was outstanding and the direction and performances were all very good. I enjoyed it a great deal for those reasons. However, I also get why much of the viewing audience was less positive about it (like the two friends I went with.) It is most definitely a slow burn, psychological horror film that lacks the in-your-face shock and/or gore moments common in the majority of contemporary horror films. It's also bound to leave you with more questions than answers (as one friend complained, "There's not enough info!") If you want to see an extremely well made film and aren't put off by films with a slower pace that demand a bit of imagination, I highly recommend it. Seriously, some of the camera work is breathtaking.
Émile Zola is the best French writer of all time, and not because he's my favorite. He's France's best writer because his 20-volume novelization of the country's 2nd Empire is a monument to French literature. He's my favorite writer because not only is he enormously talented, but in an epoch when antisemitism was systematic and systemic, he (a casual antisemite himself as a child of his era) stood up against the army, Ministry of Defense and the entire nation to decry a cover-up concerning the innocence of an exiled Jewish officer.
Zola is a gifted artist who also possess integrity, a combination that is as precious as it is rare. Many modern 'artists' simply use their talent as an excuse to commit unforgivable atrocities.
(For example: towards the middle of this film a convicted pedophile makes a cameo appearance in a party scene!)
Didn't expect the end twist with the tatoo, it's well thought.
The rest wasn't that original, but the actors from Studio Bagel/Golden Moustache made me enjoy it.
Le premier animé qui a une très bonne VF. Mais encore un animé sans suite et sans fin... Dommage je l'ai adoré... C'est encore pire
The VFX is incredible! The story is just okay -- most of them are just some stereotype old sci-fi foreshadowings
It forced me to buy a Twinkie, and I it was disgusting :D The movie was funny, though.
I really don't understand how they could make a movie with a plot that looks exactly like A Quiet Place. It's weird.
Seems even Paramount can make a good monster movie upon occasion. Slow start followed by intense gator fun. Has an important safety message, too....Don't ride out the storm! 7/10
This movie is everything you'd expect it to be. Which is exactly why I enjoyed it! (I do have a soft spot for disaster/creature features). Predictable plot, some decent tense moments, and just pure fun! See you later alligator :wink::smile:
