Bang Boom Bang - Ein todsicheres Ding (1999)
Don't waste your time...
This is probably one of the most uninteresting films I have ever started watching. In the hour we watched, we found nothing positive to say about the film... it was bland and boring.
The characters are completely one-dimensional and just annoy you. The plot could have been interesting, but it took forever to start, and we weren't interested in finding out what happened.
I think the film was heavily sponsored by some cigarette manufacturer, seeing as all the actors smoke. ALL the time.
Don't waste your time on this film, unless you like really boring German films with horrible characters...
Chernobyl Diaries (2012)
An insult to Pripyat, Chernobyl and the Ukrainian people.
The premise is excellent. One takes the most interesting, uninhabited city in the world and makes a horror flick. Add that it was evacuated because of the largest, worst nuclear accident in the world and there should be loads of stuff for an excellent movie!
We went to Chernobyl/Pripyat last week, and decided that we weren't going to watch it before we'd come home. Good thing.
First of all, none of it's filmed on Ukrainian soil (nope, it's not Kiev, not Chernobyl, not Pripyat). Doesn't even look or feel similar. Second of all, the film crew should have watched at least one documentary of the accident. Even looking at half a dozen photos of Pripyat would have helped. Third of all, they should have had someone explain how radiation sickness manifests itself.
Oh, and maybe they should have had someone to write a storyboard? Make some kind of plot? Find actors who could act? Had someone keep watch for inconsistencies?
