Silent Hill: Revelation (2012)
Single handedly ruined a franchise... Garbage...
So I am a huge fan of the games but this does not mean I will hate all the movies... I actually loved the first one, but this one... OH MY GOD... what a huge pile of garbage!!! I would not even rate this as a B-rated horror movie... more like an F or lower...
First who on gods earth did they have do the CGI effects? It seemed like it was split between two people, one who knew how to fully render accurate and realistic CGI effects and characters with good values, lighting and shading etc... then one who created monsters he thought were cool but had no idea how to place them in their worlds and light them properly... looked like a bad video game cut scene half the time...
the girl who played the young allessa (when you do see her) looks nothing like the original and does a horrible job at portraying her ( even when not talking). Now don't even get me started on the older teenage version of allessa... for start... WASN"T ALLESSA A FULL GROWN ADULT WHEN WE SAW HER AT THE END OF THE LAST FILM??? WHY IS SHE NOW A TWIN TEENAGE VERSION OF SHARRON? nice continuity there writers and director...
And what hack did her make up??? Honestly looks like shes a member of the band KISS... dear mr. head of the makeup department.... white face cream and black lipstick do not make a person look like a dead demonic girl... pathetic...
now onto the story... do people seriously still write like this... I've heard better story lines and continuity from 8 year olds playing make believe... The random attempts at twists and turns were horrible and just seemed like a failed desperate attempt at being creative and a failed attempt at trying to make it seem like the first one had a deeper hidden story and the writer and director of this one were all mystical and deep...
Honest garbage, cheesy lines, characters so connected and loving and protective of each other after one day of knowing each other...the timeline makes absolutely no sense...
as far as the actors go... there are some actual decent actors in this film the only thing that sucks is that the writing and directing and cinematography all make them look really bad cheesy and corny...
Don't waste your time honestly... this movie is beyond a pathetic attempt at trying to make money while destroying a franchise you think you can add a cool spin to...
Eve no jikan (2010)
An Excellent Head First Dive Into A Surreal World of Amazingness
Well where to being.... how about with... BAM!!!! This movie is beyond fantastic and is a great exploration into our own humanity and how things do indeed change over time!!!
I first randomly discovered this movie on an anime movie forum that specializes in obscure movies that most people outside of Japan will never here about or see. Boy was I sure glad after checking it out. This has quickly become my go to favorite anime movie that I have seen to this day!
The movie is very surreal in every way and becomes very believable to a creepy point. Although long and at sometimes somber and slow it completely suites the idea behind the film and doesn't hurt the film in any way but actually adds to it and makes it even just that much better! The movie is based around the concept of human emotion and understanding. A very strong moral statement on prejudice views and beliefs, which in the case of this movie, is aimed towards androids.
In a world where androids are slaves equivalent to butlers, and are strictly scolded for having any sort of feelings or wants that is besides what their owners want. Even treated as appliances, but slowly our main character discovers there might actually be the presence of feelings and a soul inside these androids that they hide and only let out in front of each other.
Touching on some very serious tones this movie delivers some amazing moral heartfelt vibes, along with a few comedic moments here and there that are quite a laugh or two.
As far as the art goes, the movie delivers nothing but amazing outstanding visuals in every sense of the meaning. This movie is by far a must see plain and simple!!! Can not wait to get a glimpse of some more amazing work by this crew of cast and director/writer!!!
