Biônicos

I really like the idea. It gives an attempt at telling a story of the future world in bionic sports. This is the story of Maria, one woman who dreams of competing against her sister and now, the technology of robotics has come along way and it seems that bionics has made her dream possible for her at last. But, a few things still stand in her way. There is crime and adventure, and who knows what awaits her in this new world she is about to enter. The CGI looks very good, there are robot arms and legs which are convincing enough. The acting is mostly good but I did not feel the story as much as I like to. It did not capture my heart.

The story is actually not too bad, but it's poorly executed. The characters are like bad comic book characters. Maybe that's what they were going for, but it just doesn't work well.

It's set in a world similar to the Deus Ex videos games, so that hooked me a little, because those games were so good.

The English voiceover isn't too bad, if you can't stand subtitles.

It's still the usual feminist kind of story with superhero-like girls. It's not a very realistic story, nor is it consistent.

I did like the focus on the athlete side, but the story really falls apart in the end. It's ok for a brainless watch, but it won't really keep your attention, much.

I liked the idea. Quite fresh but still there are a lot that need to reworked. I was not pleased by the end as well because it looked like they did as fast as possible just to finish the movie. I don't think that I will watch it again.

The idea of the movie is really good. If you like books and videogames with this type of concept then you will like it as well. They did a great job with with effects but God the sound of bionic parts just makes it too cartoonish. The plot has a fast pace but they just missed it at the end of the movie.

I would like to see a sequel of the movie but they will have to work harder on this.

I enjoyed the freshness of the movie. Everything from it's plot to it's characters , it's setting and it's special effects. Netflix should take the basic premise if this movie and the way it's directed and remake all those old Class of Nuke them High movies from the 1980's. Or THE WARRORS. Or Jean Claude Van Damme movie called CYBORG. These movie take place in the future in settings like a disaster zone and advanced city's that have cyborgs and Punk rock looking thugs as the population. These days it shouldn't cost Netflix millions of dollars to remake these movies. They could be made to look similar to this movie Bionic. Plus thetevare dozens of sci-fi movies in that genre.

Let's remake them all.

I have always been fascinated with bionics, interest in them grows every year. So naturally I decided to give this movie a shot on Netflix.

The idea is neat and quite realistic, implementing bionics in athletics is already being done. You could look it up in past sports competitions or events with robotic legs or arms.

That being said, this movie isn't exactly the best when it comes to the plot. There were too many unneeded scenes that didn't contribute to the story or tension. Some moments felt so drawn out, some scenes weren't needed. Plus to top it off, there was violence without reason which didn't make sense with the story.

The biggest disappointment to me was the end of this movie, if you watch it for yourself, you'll realize this movie is just.. a contradiction.
