Rest in Peace (2024)
2/10
good idea, bad execution
13 April 2024
It is one of the few Argentine films that is well directed explaining the plot, the outcome of the plot takes you very well and at the same time makes you understand the extreme decision that the protagonist made.

I think that the film fails to take advantage of the opportunity it has to play with the plot, make the suspense feel and at no point does it allow us to ask ourselves, what is going to happen now? He delves deeper into the plot in situations that are not so important and when he really has the opportunity to play with the audience, I think he makes the easier decision.

Good point: the actors stand out quite well.

nice idea, terrible execution
30 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
The plot is something that promises a lot, they had a space to make a really good movie and they ended up ruining it.

There are several points to emphasize.

-It had such a good plot that the execution is extremely bad, the movie doesn't give you time to feel suspense/fear or discomfort. You don't have time to draw your own conclusions. An example is at the beginning, we see that they greet a couple that is being attacked by the murderers and the scene simply remains there, it does not "play" with that information, that moment practically goes unnoticed.

-The empty spaces. There are countless scenes where literally nothing happens, they show a scene extending the time in which it should be shown. That reduces the excitement/fear/suspense that the viewer feels when watching it.

-The acting is very bad, they literally shoot their son in front of them, only 4 minutes pass and they already forget that he is dead in the room.

Virus-32 (2022)

You have to give it a chance from the uncritical point of view
6 January 2024
Shows how South American cinema is evolving. I didn't expect anything from this movie and it surprised me, although the lack of budget or quality of effects of "Hollywood" is noticeable, the movie hides them quite well. With a suspenseful plot that leaves you very uncomfortable for several moments, which I think is the best way to scare you in the cinema. If we get very critical, we notice that there are some gaps in the script or perhaps some things that we do not end up closing 100%. I recommend watching it with the perception that it is a low-budget film and that in South America horror movies-Zombies are very poor. I feel that it is an important starting point and we must support it.

If you like tennis LOOK AT IT, if you don't like it that much I recommend that you give it a chance

It is a movie that surprised me, being a tennis lover I was expecting a movie like any other tennis movie (that does not exceed 6 points). I made a mistake

Important points:

The adaptation of the characters is simply perfect, it places you in the time and place of the events.

The recreation of the tennis scenes are generally done with a staging that leaves much to be desired. In this film it is recreated to perfection, impeccable work

Will Smith's performance is a work of art

The narration of the story is perfect, it leaves nothing to chance and touches on the themes with the right time and moment.

Boring from start to finish. When you are getting into the plot and a little suspense is generated, the movie takes care of turning it off, the movie goes nowhere, without a clear objective the actors feel very, very empty, in particular situations where the themselves (daughter's disappearance/wife's death) make a micro scene and it seems that they have already forgotten. They don't delve into the real problems, the film is more concerned with showing you the scared animals than the characters themselves.

All this added to the fact that the movie lasts 2 hours 18 minutes for the worst ending they could have come up with. Everything was terrible, I would never see her again. Save seeing it.
