Captain Nova

Yes, it could have been better. It could have been a lot better with the same budget, same cast, same visuals, and just a teeny-weeny bit of less wooden acting. But to be fair and square, the high-budget films based on overhyped Philip Pullman's books were much, much worse. This is TV-series level acting in a feature film. But in the times of never-ending Marvel spin-offs it feels a welcome attempt to create something original.

Het is een "goed zo". Keep up good work.

I loved this movie. Although it's target audience is children me and my friends actually loved it too. The story is well thought out and it looks like a high production movie with lots of amazing nature shots and on point acting. The message is also a good and accurate one. One of the better Dutch movies. Kind of hoping for a part 2.

The story is decent enough. Though the whole "I'm 12 now, and my suit and clothes magically fit perfectly" falls squarely in fantasy, not sci-fi. And that actress playing a 12 year old is a bit of a stretch... but "Nas" the boy is supposed to be 10... when the Actor is much closer to 16 than they are 10... LOL.

The dialog is a bit sparse, with the rest filled in with bizarre quantities of mouth breathing. Not sure why they even left that in...

Level of acting is poor and childish.

People are so inexpressible or maybe it's just me not used to Dutch productions.

Dialogs are pathetic at the best.

Okay, sure, you could drive a caravan of semis through the plot holes in this and the acting ... well ... let's just say it wasn't exactly top notch but, sorry, I rather liked this movie.

The dubbing was hilarious, rather stunted with long, open mouth pauses as if the actors weren't quite sure what they were suppose to do next. The obnoxious drone/AI had to be the spawn of HAL, the evil dad was pretty much what you'd expect from a rich butthead while the wimpy son was pretty much what you'd expect of his offspring.

Worth the hour plus and by far more entertaining than washing the dishes or folding the laundry though I suppose you could fold the laundry and watch it.
