Breathe

I had seen the score and I figured this would be an awful movie, but I gave it a shot.

25% of this movie is the alert system going off and borrowing into your skull. They really didn't need to have the alert system go off non stop throughout the movie, but that's what they did.

I mainly watched this cuz of Milla Jovovich, thought it can't be that bad if she's in it, but it was that bad...

I wish I had a Flashlight and some Copper Wires, cuz then I could have made a "Electromagnetic Pulse" generator and used it and saved myself from this abomination basically.

I won't even rate this... It's just bad.

1st star is for Common... I don't know what it is, but there is an Aura around this man. I enjoy his presence and he gave A LOT to the story, with a ridiculously short screen time screen. He is a GREAT actor, who, in this movie, deserved a lot more relevance and presence.

2nd star is for the story. Well thought.

3rd star, for the scenery... yes, it's CGI, amd yes, it's fake, but GREAT set!

I can compare this one to the Sci-Fi movie of Will Smith and his son... the kid is an idiot! Too much part for him, too little part for his father.

It's the same here... bratty kid who messes all up just to make a stand with the stupid cliche that parents are wrong and kids know it all!

Sam Worthington is another very good actor who plays a GREAT part in the movie... his talent fits the character like a glove! Avatar is a stain in his career, because he is much more than that simpleton, blue people blob.

All in all, this movie would, could and should, have been a lot better with more Common, more action (they had plenty of room to work it in there), less drama, and the totally expandable and annoying kid.

The ending turns out to be as predictable as the movie itself. It entertains, but it's a deception all throughout...

I had not heard about this 2024 action thriller titled "Breathe" prior to sitting down to watch it. But I figured that I would give the movie a fair chance, since it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, and plus it had Milla Jovovich on the cast list, which counted for something.

I will say that the concept idea behind the script had a lot of potential to it. However, the execution from script to screen left much to be desired. I had great difficulties buying into the movie, especially since it was supposed to be an oxygen-less world, but it just didn't have that feel to it. So writer Doug Simon didn't exactly deliver anything that was worth writing home about.

There were a couple of familiar faces on the cast list, with the likes of Milla Jovovich, Sam Worthington, Dan Martin, James Saito and Common. I will say that the acting performances in "Breathe" were good.

Visually then "Breathe" wasn't a particularly impressive movie. Sure, it was passable for what it was, but you're not in for anything grand here. And I guess the orange filter that the movie had to it, whenever we looked at outdoors scenes helped to mask brighter colors of green and such that we would otherwise have seen on foliage throughout the course of the movie.

I am sure that there is an audience out there for a movie such as "Breathe", however, I have to admit that director Stefon Bristol didn't impress me with this movie.

My rating of "Breathe" lands on a generous three out of ten stars. The movie just felt like a half-hearted project.

They lost oxygen on earth and 4 years later it looked like it had been through a nuclear holocaust. Buildings and bridges were degraded as if they were abandoned for 150 years (maybe more). Super over kill on background!

It was absolutely one of the worst movies I've seen in decades!!! It needs to be pulled from all platforms and viewing capabilities. I only watched it because I like all the actors in it. But damn, what a disappointment! I mean, people actually previewed this after editing and somehow convinced themselves to release this to the public anyway. Some one or some few, should be terminated and seek employment elsewhere!

Near future Dystopian world, I have a soft spot for such series and movies so I managed to like parts of this. However this movie sucks. I like Common as an actor, especially when he plays these gritty, troubled characters. I think the story was decent, the dialogue just wasn't that convincing. With a little bit better dialogue I think this movie could've been okay. I was also really annoyed by how she kept saying "freaking" because she didn't wanna cuss. And the computer system voice for security in the building was terrible. Milla Jovovich and Sam Worthington feel like decent actors whose last couple movies have mostly sucked. Although I do like "monster hunter"(it's not great though) for Milla and I'm counting Avatar for Sam. I don't recommend unless you tolerate bad scifi.
