What the fuck was even the point of this movie
Failed to get under my skin unfortunately. The family drama wasn’t particularly engaging and the horror aspects were too little too late. It isn’t an awful film - the actors are good and the scenario has merit - but it drags on for too long. Others might like it more than me, however.
so im just supposed to go on with my life after this?????????
I swear I would watch this show until their future generations are in the year 3000, I am so invested.
Love the journey. The set. The wardrobe. The acting. The laughs. The absolutely heartbreak. I love it all.
Well, Peacemaker’s time of holding the the title of best opening credits dance sequence of the year turns out to be short lived.
This is like a great Black Mirror episode (the philosophical kind, not the dystopian kind).
I’d also highly recommend it if you’re a fan of Alex Garland (the visuals in this reminded me a lot of Devs).
We’ve seen this concept of humans and AI living together done before (Westworld, Blade Runner), but this is more focussed on family relationships and drama, which makes it very fresh.
The cinematography is out of this world, acting is top notch across the board, good score, interesting storytelling that goes in directions you don’t expect, thematically rich, tight editing, it’s really great stuff.
Just know what you’re getting into: it’s reflective and meant to give you food for thought, it’s not a pulpy thriller about AI taking over the world.
8.5/10
My expectations were way too high after seeing all those 10's and 9's given to this movie.
It was decent... It has a lot of "what a coincidence!" moments, unrealistic events and reactions.
I did enjoy the last part of the movie! Still don't think its worth a 10 or 9 lol
I can only guess I came in with expectations too high, as I'm watching this in the period between it being nominated for Oscars, and them actually being announced.
It's an interesting enough story. It kept me following and enjoying the whole way through. But I'm struggling to see what the levels of praise it's receiving are for. And this is why I feel I'm probably watching it with too much of a hype cloud around it. In the end I was expecting more.
I really didn't like their scheme for 'marketing fiction as truth' to get people excited and interested! This movie doesn't give the impression of true events, it blatantly tells you 'Actual footage' while nothing even happened, what a lie! I think this is offensive to the viewers, a scam!
As I haven't read any of the Stieg Larsson books I can't judge how well the adaption to screen was handled, but as a movie in it's own right, it is really, really good. Very dark and brutally upfront, which make some scenes really hard to watch, so definitely not suited for everybody.
But if you like a well constructed plot and mystery, this one stays interesting and suspenseful until the end.
In my opinion, this movie should be watched in Swedish with subtitles, as the Swedish actors are delivering a spot on performance.
Not terrible, not great, just... fine. Easily the worst of the new trilogy. Script-wise it was a real letdown from DoFP and First Class, and Apocalypse as a villain is stereotypical and brings nothing new to the table. Oscar Isaac was so wasted in this role.
While being a complete deus-ex-machina, the Quicksilver scene is again the best in the movie.
The first half was well done, the second half was routine and the third half was unnecessary; much as the romantic affairs of every character which wasted a great deal of screen time.
Family story like you have never seen before. Life-questioning mindfuck.
