The Boxtrolls is a 96 minutes Animation where a young orphaned boy raised by underground cave-dwelling trash collectors tries to save his friends from an evil exterminator.
In Resume: It’s a tale of class envy and attempted genocide in a mountaintop Victorian-era township called Cheesebridge, where access to that dairy product in all its most flavorful forms is what separates the rich “White Hats” from the poor in red. Down below ground level live the Boxtrolls, mischievous nonverbal creatures outfitted in recycled cartons. Each of them takes its name from its packaging: Fish, Shoe, Fragile, etc.
The saddest misstep here is that while the kind industrious Boxtrolls are the downtrodden of the story, they are also treated as such by the screenwriters. Their fate becomes entirely secondary to Snatcher’s lust for position and wealth, to Eggs’ friendship with plucky Winnie, and to the boy’s reunion with a lost figure from his past. And frankly, when there are trolls in peril in the mix, who cares about all that other stuff? =D
I would recommend to all Animation lovers and give it a 8/10, you know how much I love animations ;D
Predestination is a 97 minutes sci-fi thriller with a twist that will discuss you. But just look at it scientifically and it will be better =D
Inevitability and destiny are at the root of this mind-twisting adaptation of Robert Heinlein’s. A complicated story, often boggling and frequently challenging, sci-fi drama dealing with the self, identity, gender and, of course, the paradox of time travel. It's a lot to fit in to one unique movie but Heinlein did it and it's very well constructed.
Predestination takes temporal paradoxes to an entirely new level. I don't want to reveal the gold of the movie but what I can say is that it gave me a little bit of a bad disposition, but very worth it. Still, it’s the kind of movie that will get audiences talking, trying to find the “beginning” of the story and piecing together—or tearing apart—the logic of it.
The final 15 minutes, sadly, feel a bit rushed. And the final reveals come at a frantic pace that clashes with the earlier relatively slower and meticulous pace.
For me it's a 8/10. I would recommend you to see it.
Lucy is a sci-fi thriller of 89 minutes that fantasises about unlocking 100 percent of the brain's potential and expects viewers to be using just 2 or 3 percent of their own grey matter =)
The idea is some what interesting but the making is just wrong, it should be different in a lot of different aspects and leaves us (viewers) with a bunch of questions about in one scene she can do this but on the other she can't?!!?
Besson's script offers neither the well-drawn character dynamics nor the clear motivations of a decent comic book origin story.
Helpfully, Besson mixed Lucy's story and an academic lecture in Paris where a researcher has been hypothesising about the very thing that is happening to her, making remarkably specific predictions about what might happen if humans were able to use more than the 10 percent we currently use (a myth) of the magnificent supercomputers in our heads. His ideas, like some of the film's other early scenes, are illustrated with cutaways to nature footage suggesting the ways in which all of Earth's creatures are interconnected, governed by the same laws. Think Besson doing The Tree of Life =D
I would go in a different path and reach the same enlightenment than Besson. But I would say it's a 6/10 just a bit above average because of the actors and great basic idea.
Maleficent is another version of The Sleeping Beauty, a more Dark Action version!
This Movie has a duration of 97 minutes and leaves you with all kind of emotions. Of course I had to cry about 5 times in the movie because all animation or animation type movies do that to me =D This one could not be different. It has a lot of Action, Romance/Love and Fantasy like all Disney movies.
Angelina Jolie is my favourite actresses so of course I would see this movie with loving eyes =) But putting that aside, it was a very well made film from the realistic way that Beauty fell and details of here face moving to the details of Maleficent's wings moving. Those type of effects are made by pros. The movie making was a great success and they took the Fantasy world to another level of reality that will be hard to be topped.
The worst part, for me, the fight with the trees that was "a copy" from Lord of the Rings... They could of been a little more original in that scene.
I loved it and do recommend to all ages. I gave it a 9.2/10.
One more Transformers movie... I love Transformers movies but this last one just left me thinking: "Who changed this?? Why did they change it?? It's getting worst isn't it?!!". It wasn't just me thinking this because I saw it with my boyfriend and he said the same. The "bots" are there but it's the humans that don't fit the part and the writing/producing is worse... sorry but it's just getting bad. I hope the promised fifth that is coming in 2016 is better because I was sad that I didn't go see this movie at the cinema but after seeing it I'm glad.
To me the best Transformers movies were the second and third maybe more the third but they are both really great action movies and that was what I was expecting from this one. In my opinion it lacked in action and had too much car racing...
If the 5th to come is equally disappointing, it looks like it's going out with "more of a whimper than a bang" as I read in some other reviews.
I sincerely hope that Mark Wahlber does not enter the next one because I do thing he is not the right guy (I do not dislike the actor but I just think he does not fit the role needed in this movie).
I started by just bad nothing the movie and didn't talk a little bit about it for those who did not see any of the four movies: Unlike the middle-class, suburban Sam Witwicky (from the first two movies) — whose mix-up with the Transformers began when he bought a flashy car to fish for a hot date — Cade ( Mark Wahlber in the 4th movie) is a broke Texan who gets into trouble buying a patched-up truck he intends to dismantle and sell off to pay the rent and future college fees of his daughter.
It has neither the first movie's comedic scenes born of the interactions between humans and "bots", neither attains the hyper-sensationalism that makes the second and third utterly over-the-top grandiose showcases of demolition, witch is what I love most =D
It's 165 minutes and 12.6 million dollar movie made of fighting scenes that are badly linked =(
I do have a positive saying about the film: " I loved the dino-bots " =)
I would recommend seeing just get it from a video store and watch at home so you can have the complete sequel for the last movie (hopefully better - and it must be because they had to many bad reviews =D).
I give the first Transformers 9.6/10,
the second 9.9/10,
the third 10/10,
and the forth 5.4/10.
The Lego Movie is an Animation not just for kids but also for adults. I think it's a family movie!
It's 100 minutes long and everyone will just fall in love with it. It's one of the best animations I saw these past months, I love animations so that's saying a lot ;D
As the title says it's about LEGO but, when i first hard about it I thought it was going to be stiff Lego pieces moving and it was going to be bad but I was wrong... It has great graphics and even has a "real people part". Like most animations it's all about a hero that doesn't look like an hero.
My boyfriend "hates" when the animations have a lot of singing parts and he always tries to fast-forward them, of course I don't let him (that's also why he doesn't see many animations with me) but these singing parts were fun and catchy, mostly the first one... We were singing it all month =)
And The Lego Movie 2 is coming in 2017, can't wait =D
