2033

I have to say I am Mexican and a Sci fi fan so... taking that in to account Yes the movie has a lot of little issues here and there... and in the end it fails to deliver...

But still the visuals are amazing, maybe i'm wrong but never seen a Mexican movie like this before... It looked pretty expensive, and We know how Mexico's pesos are devaluated currently,the scenaries are beautiful and the movie it reminded me a bit of THX 1138, Equilibrium, Fahrenheit 451 and some others of the kind

lets give it some credit, in its context, usually Mexican films are pretty much the same all the time, I felt this one was significantly different at least from my point of view, the theme was new for Mexican directors, and the story, everything, We know we've seen the plot in other international movies already, but at least not in here and trust me I was always complaining about it

the plot I think it was OK, most of the bad side actors and Pablo (the main one) I felt were good in their roles, but the truth is the good guys (the girl and the priest) were halfway the road, it was like not enough character development, motives, their dialogues lacked of feeling and emotion sometimes, etc I just could not buy them...

all in all I LIKED THE MOVIe, I enjoyed it, was Interesting, visually appealing, I was tense in some scenes waiting for the outcome, and I was surprised for the premise of the movie, besides some actings I did not like the end... other than that It was OK, and decent for a Mexican Movie...I think the director took some risks but if He makes another one maybe he'll get there... I definitely say Worth watching...

It was ok. I almost gave up in the first 10 minutes. The worst opening to a movie ever. I think I am glad I kept going. The story was acceptable. The CGI of the spacecraft in space was pretty. And 200 years into the future, and we still smoke cigarettes and worse still we can smoke them inside space stations? lol.

Don't watch this expecting an exciting sci-fi movie. It's not.

Visually this movie is really beautiful. Francisco Laresgoiti's usage of Mexico City and its surroundings creates a futuristic and exciting stage, and it's clear that a lot of effort has been put into creating this feeling of a cold world. The feeling I get is a mixture between Orwell's 1984 and Gibson's Neuromancer.

The story line is simple and the unemotional acting of the "bad-guys" is a perfect fit. It's the lack of emotion and depth when portraying the good side that is the reason this movie never really reaches its potential. It will be interesting to see if the prequel will improve this aspect.

I have to confess something. I watched this movie knowing that it's main goal is to work as right wing propaganda.

Special effects are OK, but they are nothing spectacular. What really misses the mark is the one-dimension of the story and characters and the obvious intent to chip away at the separation of church and state is too annoying to ignore.

The slant given on a Secular State that runs the bad guys and the clear reference to the "Cristero Wars" Miguel Agustín Pro make it clear this movie is intended as propaganda for right wing politicians who wish to see the separation from church and state removed from Mexican Laws.

Even the name of the movie, 2033, is a reference to the 33 degrees of francmasonry, which catholics in Mexico have pictured as devil worshippers.
