Blink

I don't think many people here have the German series Dark. The film Blink borrows liberally from the German series that was both about time travel and travel between universes.

Anyway, about Blink. A decent effort no doubt, but the back ground score!! My God, too loud and jarring. Indian films are slowly learning the value of silence. Obviously, not this one. Literally jumping in my seat with the unexpectedly loud score. Also I didn't feel the interspersing of songs were necessary in a film of this nature. Took away from the tautness of the narrative.

Acting was good and dialogues were passable.

Some continuity issues, could have been addressed with tighter editing.

Hope the team, now a movie old, will do a better job of it during the making of their next.

I was totally blank about it's concept before doing deep dive into the movie. Initial 45Min was such a painful to watch because we didn't have any clue ; what the hell in going on the screen? The chemistry between the leading couple was also not that exciting in that period of time. BUT in the 2nd Half this movie it turned extremely upside-down. When the actual concept of the movie got revealed at the 50-55Min excitement for this movie came back rapidly. And from that scene it's peaked it's pace and screenplay got interesting. It kept going on until the climax situation came, where we can notice a major loophole, which simply bend our mind! And we felt like WTF was that? And with so much confusions here and there they just ended it aesthetically.

So basically this movie is not for everyone, especially who loves fast paced movie will surely leave this film at the middle part. For a cinephile it will feel like an average movie. And those who watched such concepts before will feel like something is missing in this entire movie! But in my personal view I can assure that if we consider the entire plot and the leading character's act in the climax blended the plot nicely and plot is justified somehow!

Acting performances of all the characters were too good. Music was good as well. Cinematography was brilliant despite a strict budget movie. Editing was well and good except the first half where storyline got dragged in extreme where an average cinema lover will leave his/her attention from the plot.

Good to Go with Family. From my side it will be 6 Out of 10 Stars for it..

Directed by a debutant filmmaker, it is a surprising and captivating piece of cinema that takes the audience on a roller-coaster of emotions and suspense. From the very first frame, the film grips you with its intriguing storyline and maintains that momentum until the very end. The screenplay is tight and well-crafted, leaving little room for predictability. Each scene is meticulously designed to keep the viewers guessing, and the twists are not just surprising but also highly satisfying.

The cinematography deserves special mention. The use of light and shadow, along with some innovative camera angles, enhances the mood of the film and adds a layer of depth to the storytelling. The background score complements the suspenseful narrative, adding to the overall immersive experience.

It is a remarkable debut that sets a benchmark and a must-watch thriller for those who enjoy a well-unexpected twists and turns.

Must Watch!! Highly Recommended !

2014 movie, "Predestination" has similar time travel loop. "Blink" appears to be a simplified version of this. Even then, it is a good effort in Kannada movie, to bring a sci-fi story into life that can be understood easily. I enjoyed it. Happy watching.

PS: Netflix 2017 series "Dark" (my rating 10/10) and Night Shyamalan 2024 movie "Caddo Lake" (my rating 6/10) are other recommendations for sci-fi enthusiasts. "Looper" Bruce Willis 2012 movie (my rating 8/10) is another movie in this genre. Year 2000 movie "Frequency" (my rating 8/10) is another time travel genre movie that you all may like.
