65 : La Terre d'avant

This is nowhere near a perfect movie. That being said, it's nowhere near trash either. Amazing cinematography, cgi and acting take this film a long way. In the days where mediocre 200 million marvel movies have swallowed cinema, this is honestly a breath of fresh air. I have missed watching lower budget standalone action films that don't require any external knowledge of the audience in order to understand the plot and are just a fun 90 minute watch.

So I suppose that even though this is not a perfect movie it's a new original idea and that's all I want to see from cinema nowadays. It is the direction that will bring the industry to light and maybe let it evolve (which will not happen if all the studios release reboot after reboot for the next decade)

The Good:

Awesome recreation of a wild dangerous world full of dinosaurs and threads of death and struggle for survival. The suspense and fear is better than Jurassic Park.

Really cool Sci-fi tech featured, really awesome play on someone (Driver) struggling to survive a primitive world while also having highly advanced technology, but still facing challenges Top-notch cinematography, lighting, and CGI makes you feel very immersed into the world and situations

The Bad:

The plot is extremely basic and predictable. Man faces a few obstacles that he overcomes, most of them the same situation, that's about it. There's only two characters basically, and the dialog between them is limited. This works for a bit, but there's not enough development of the characters, and it's easy to just not care about what happens to them one way or another.

It could have been much better if there was more objectives in the plot, more characters or build up, more on what happened before and after the situation on the planet.

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.

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 really think this film would be doing much better at the box office with a better title and clearer marketing. This is a more than serviceable action thriller starring a legitimate star that is mostly entertaining for its 90 minute runtime.

The CGI is surprisingly good given the small budget and it's cool seeing dinos in a non-Jurassic Park film. The story is probably the weakest element given its cliched beats and real Last of Us vibe. Some wooden dialogue and lack of exposition round out my critiques. I liked the futuristic tech in the film and Driver delivers an expected solid showing. 65 won't light the genre on fire, but it's better than it's getting credit for.
