Shrapnel (2023)
Fabulously stupid
Waste of time, waste of energy-I'm glad I didn't pay for this.
Bad guys steal girls; a good dad goes to get them back. Pew-pew, bam-bam, bad guys dead, good guys not dead. That's the synopsis.
It seems now that Hollywood tries to dumb the movies down to the level of Tik-Tok in the hope of more viewers.
Jason Patric bad, very bad... Los Mercenarios were truly funny in their attempt to be the least likable characters in the world.
Cam Gigandet had nothing to do but be supportive and gritty-maybe 10 lines all over.
Unbelievably cheap and stupid. At least they did not skimp on AKMs and fake ammo...
Dark Encounter (2019)
Fabulous waste of time
The same tired tropes of the close encounters of the worst kind ... A family of hillbillies, unconvincingly represented by a bunch of no-name amateurs, stumble their way through 100 minutes of stupid script, lame effects and idiotic dialogue. And finally, the aliens appear,abduct the grieving family in order to show them that one of them is a murderous pedophile! Probably it was Mrs. Marple from the next Galaxy having fun with earthling mysteries...
Who pays for such crap? And they dare presenting it as Sci-Fi ! Luckily we have phone games, so we can slog through in order to realise in the end that we have lost 100 minutes that nobody is going to give back.
Deus (2022)
Who writes these scripts ?
Wooden performances, stilted dialogues, stupid reactions, the whole gamut of idiotic clichés of amateurs trying to make something just wishes itself Scifi... Unbelievable, with the participation of two quality actors like Claudia Black and David O'Hara who should know better what's scifi and movies ! Poor lighting, subpar effects, Messianic blather...vague references to the "Event Horizon..." everything delivered in a stupid accent.... The poor sod acting the captain could not act himself out of a paper bag... he tries to act menacing and all manly, but he is only pathetic ...
Incredible waste of time... not one shred of novelty, of originality or of ideas. Not one endearing quality in the whole shebang...
The Black Ball of sh...!!!
From (2022)
Not bad. Worth a look.
Nice idea. Kind of a " bubble of evil " principle. A definite Stephen King vibe. A little slow, but it works. Interesting to watch where it's going... 'cause after the initial " shock " the story really starts to drag. Mr. Perinneau is very good, as always, the rest no name actors...but passable. Say again ... worth a watch.
Severance (2022)
Creepy, stupid and boring
Total waste of time. Lame and hamfisted allegory of the dehumanization imposed by the corporate. Better to use robots then to go to these lengths to obtain a moronic workforce. Good actors, and I don't understand why the gushing about the directorial performance, when there is none. People talk to each other for 45 minutes, so there is no direction. Intelectualist b.......t.
Run Hide Fight (2020)
Quite good...
The young actress was very convincing. The villains are OK, stupid and evil... finally the whole bunch is nothing we haven't seen. The school is kinda isolated, the students are all idiots and cowards, it seems... And the poor psycho, they gave him a Schmeisser MP 38 !!! WTF ??? It's a collection gun, 80 years old, using extremely rare ammo and costing maybe 3000 $... who the f.... has access to something like that, fully functional after the end of WW II ? You got to be kidding .
Obitaemyy ostrov. Skhvatka (2009)
A breath of fresh air
It is something else than Hollywood. Strugatsky brothers are fabulous writers, but you cannot simply take a book and put it on the screen. In a movie you don't have the luxury to waste pages after pages describing the introspections of the characters. The director did his best, and at least the actors felt for the script. No wooden acting, no clichéd lines which are the hallmark of Hollywood SF in the last decades. People are as true as possible, they are dirty, grimy and miserable, easy to manipulate and picturesque. All in all, a good movie, interesting and it never makes you touch the fast-forward button. If you want to taste something else than Hollywood crap, try it.
