Dumpster Fire with Bridget Phetasy (2019)
Best clevage in the game
Watch this or... DON'T!!!
If you cared about this world I wouldn't have to recommend this to you.
Pacific Rim (2013)
Far and away the best giant monster movie so far...
The reviewer is concerned by the lack of hype this epic received.
Pro's:
1. Seamless and Excellent special effects.
2. Great pacing and expanding scope.
3. Appropriate mix of action and plot.
4. Integrated character development and story line.
Con's: (none really, but to be critical...)
1. No real meta-narrative (beside the 'teamwork' ethic). This is no Blade Runner people.
2. The Duel-pilot plot device was perhaps overstated at the beginning, though followed through nicely as the film progressed.
3. Kind of awkward acting in parts, and the Aussie accents were a little overdone.
4. Casting was par for course
Overall an Excellent film, and as stated in the header, the reviewer believes this is far and away the best giant mech-warrior / monster movie made to date. (That is until we have a live action Neon Genesis Evangelion!)
Will watch again.
BRAVO!
8/10
After Earth (2013)
Tortured, tedious, trite
SPOILER: This is an M Night Shyamalan-a-ding-dong 'film'
Only Ding-dong-a-llama Night could decapitate a premise as he did here.
The reviewer feels nothing but remorse for Jaden Smith who appears to be a promising, but as yet unproven, young man. Jaden needs to reconsider acting as a career.
The plot devices are tired. The direction of the film is trite. This could have been a genuinely good film. Alas, Ding-dong got his hands on it, rather than say JJ Abrams.
The CGI is well done but the unnecessary and the scoff worthy anthropomorphising of a certain winged non human character is cringe worthy, and sadly a transparent reflection of Shamamamalalalm-banana's patronizing view of the audiences intelligence.
I give this film 1 star, and may god have mercy on our souls.
