65 : La Terre d'avant

TIL chatGPT cannot write a 'negative' review because it would be harmful against a group of people lol.

"Wow, what a cinematic masterpiece we have here! A stunning performance by a stupid little girl who manages to trip over her own feet for the majority of the film. And let's not forget the highlight of the movie - Adam Driver firing his gun with such precision and accuracy while going 'pew pew' - a truly groundbreaking moment in cinema history! It's not every day that you get to witness such innovative and profound acting. Bravo! The storyline is so riveting that it will leave you questioning your own sanity by the time the credits roll. I mean, who needs plot coherence or character development when you have Adam Driver shouting 'pew pew' at the top of his lungs? In conclusion, if you're looking for a movie that will leave you with nothing but regret and a feeling of wasted time, then look no further!"

I'm the exact target audience for this movie. I'm a sci-fi junkie, I love thrillers, Adam Driver is awesome, and I'll watch basically anything with large scary creatures. This should have been a layup for me to like. Yet I found myself unengaged and somewhat bored. I started feeling sleepy even after a Red Bull.

I don't really know how or why it happened, but this is just a forgettable movie. Some dumb things happen but I am able to turn my brain off. Although after watching the Angry Joes review, I didn't realize how many dumb things I ignored. I guess I just didn't care enough to notice them.

I hope a movie like this doesn't discourage studios from going for more of these mid-budget movies. I like the idea of an isolated story somewhere random in space/time. I just hope they do a better job next time. (1 viewing, opening Sunday 3/12/2023)

I DUNNO!

This is a decent film in my opinion. I give it a 6.5 stars.

A transportation pilot carrying passengers suspended in a cryogenic sleep finds himself stranded on an unknown planet after colliding with debris from an uncharted asteroid belt. Only he and a child survive the crash but they are miles from their only escape pod and they aren't alone.

Adam Driver gave a good performance, the story was interesting and the special effects were good. I'm not much of a sci-fi buff but the tech and weaponry created for the film were good too.

Admittedly, the film could have had a faster pace and more action. I think if it fails anywhere that would be my complaint but it was a decent film regardless.

I don't really understand all the hate but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It may not be for everyone I suppose but I know that I'll likely watch this again at some point.

I was very curious about this film since it seemed very simple in concept to those of some of the best movies in the past decades. Not to mention having phenomenal actor Adam Driver fighting dinosaurs, who wouldn't watch it? After finishing the movie, I can at least say the movie was a competent and engaging watch, but wasn't as exciting as the trailers made it out to be.

First of all, Adam Driver is fantastic in this movie. Despite the simplistic and somewhat predictable narrative, he's still engaging to watch as a desperate man trying to survive and rescue the only other survivor, a young foreign girl. And Props to Ariana Greenblatt for pulling off a helpless girl with a language opposite of the lead and still having good chemistry.

Other than that, the movie doesn't really utilize it's concept that well with the battle of scientific technology and prehistoric creatures. There are only a few instances where we can see him use strategy and the use of various gadgets to take them down. While those scenes are fun, it's very little throughout the movie.

I was worried that this movie could have been awful since it gave me very similar vibes to After Earth, and I'm sure you don't need me to explain why. But I can at least say that writer and directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods didn't drop the ball that badly. I can also respect that they want to bring Hollywood back to basics with concepts that are simple, yet effective. While slow paced, and at times underwhelming, I can at least say I enjoyed myself while watching.

The movie was alright. Graphics were good and acting was fine as well, but somehow I felt it didn't make the connection it supposed to. Too bland. The thrilling moment didn't make me sit in anticipation that what will happen. I usually like these kinds if movie, but this was just okay. It wasn't bad and most will enjoy it. Good movie for theatre. Whole family can go, but I felt something missing.

Acting was good by all.

Story was simple and simply told Action was good Not that gripping.

Duration was fine of the movie.

I do recommended watching in the cinema. It is better enjoyed there. I guess I had more expectation from Sam Raimi film.
