Aniara (2018)
So much to say
I don't even know where to start.
I LOVE space movies, and when i saw the movie was Swedish together with Viaplay, i knew i had to watch it.
But. what the F.... The effects was great i, so it seemed like they had everything to make a great space blockbuster movie. Yet the plot, it seemed solid from what i read on Viaplay.
Boy was i wrong, i mean, it wasn't a disaster. But as a HUGE space movie fanatic, this was kind of a disappointment and it hurts to say, it really does.
So, we have a reactor failure, and are then forced to eject the fuel rods. "Because for some reason in the future space travel, we couldn't find a better energy source, and the fact that, how it worked with the engines wasn't addressed annoys me."
After ejecting the rods, there is apparently no more left on the ship. Because backup is overrated, am i right?
Also only one reactor? I mean, a normal power plant as far as i know, has at least two or more reactors.
Why is no one out there assessing the damage?
Surely a ship that size must have more than one engine, just look at big container ships, or big airplanes, every single one has more that one engine. And if a ship is stranded in the ocean, people can still get to it.
So why is BIGGER safety precautions not being in place regarding space flight?
And why aren't they contacting others for help???
Anyway, this Mima. Great idea, some sort of VR and augmented reality in one, loved it. But why, just why would you put feelings in to the equation of the AI, and why would an escape reality sim, have an AI in the first place? Seems kinda weird..
And then the rogue captain, seriously what a cliche.. This makes me feel so angry watching people in high positions making these absolute dumb decisions.. The fact that he refuses to listen to and under stand his co-workers, when they're a special engineer in the field. (I'm talking about 'Mimaroben'") And then have the guts to be this bad ass in the gym and act all mighty is just so ridiculous, what kind of captain with this mentality would even get close to a job like this?
And then lying to the entire ship about the situation- Just why... Who would do that? You didn't have to say the exact state of the problem, but could say something like, "yes we have a problem, and we are assessing the damage, we will return with further information" Its like none and the captain too, didn't have any training in a situation like this, and also none in crowd control under distress situations.. Again, what the F.. This is really where the plot has holes and or doesn't connect.
They can spot a probe very far away, but not a piece of junk flying towards them, before its to late? Really? all this high tech...
The gabbling operators, why are they new? Where is the crew? Why is there no one in the crew who can and are already trained?
Where is all the alcohol coming from, and why do they have more liqueur than fuel?
What provides this much power when the reactor is down? And why is this power not directed towards the engines, assuming they run on power? Also, why waste power on parties and such.
Now whats with the people and the way they act. I don't even know what to say about it, its so far from reality as it could be.. No one in a almost plane crash, is gonna tell the captain during hes speech, 'I told my son i was gonna be there for hes 4th birthday' As if she didn't understand the seriousness of the situation...
Also look at festivals, and how many people are attending contrary to how few guards there is, this proves that crowd control can be done correctly, with the right education. Or riots.
It was fine overall, i try to see everything from different perspectives, but there was so many things that annoyed me about the plot. There is not many movies like this here in Scandinavia, so it saddens me that the plot feel so rushed, and if no one actually thought about the must simple and common things. It wasn't ready and the people who wrote it, should have had some help from someone professional who could guide them in the right direction of common sense, even in a fantasy-fiction space movie. Hell, the first doom movie has a better and more solid plot..
So to me the plot is holding the movie back for me. Not the effects or the acting. It would all have been better under a more "controlled" Script..
And there for it only get a 4 from me..
I apologize for the long review, but i had to get this out. I Really hope we here in Scandinavia can make more movies of this sort, and be on the level with the bigger studios.
Arctic (2018)
Amazing movie!
These kind of films are hard to make, not only because we have seen films alike, but also because its hard to keep people watching, and make it entertaining!
But Mads Mikkelsen does exactly that, he again shows why he is one of the greatest actors out there.
And the music in my opinion was spot on. Just enough to make you feel the scene, but not too much to make you think about the music.
The scenes was very thought out and all in all, the film was the perfect length, not too long nor too short. And still all the words spoken in this film could have been on one paper, just amazing!
Glass (2019)
I cant even! WATCH THE DAMN MOVIE!
James McAvoy..... Jesus, what an actor!!!!
I cant even describe what an amazing actor James McAvoy is, and this movie in itself was brilliant! I really enjoyed it all the way through!
Can on recommend!
I Am Mother (2019)
Great movie!!!
Yes, this movie was crazy!
This is something i have been thinking about for at long time, what it would be to have someone grow up without any human contact. How someone can then fathom the idea of the "mother" actually being a robot, and not something so personal as your own..
I will also say this kind of movie is very rare, and something have been waiting for, for a long time. A good si-fi movie!
There is a lot of details in this movie, specially in the beginning when we see the first children, and then skip several years and see "daughter" Who is clearly younger, than the years we skip. But this is quick, and you might not notices at first!
This leaves us with question at first, to what happened to these children we see at first.
Then of course, in the end, when the woman is in her container, and mother finds her, through the tracker. We again get the idea, that she too came from the same place!
But as i said in the beginning, and what i don't get is, how she could shoot her own mother, (even though the mother "Cant die")
I personally think she would have had stronger feelings towards mother, since this is all she know, and "whom" she has been feeling safe with for all her life. Even though she found all these secrets and stuff, it still seem crazy. Mostly also because she has never known anything else, nor has she had any relationship with any other human...
Anyway, i really liked the movie, and it was very well made, and the music and such was fitting to what happened.
Darkest Hour (2017)
One of the few, and one of the best!
Absolutely amazing performance by Gary! I couldn't get my eyes of the screen, it is rare these days, that I really get immersed in a movie like this, but man. It's well thought out, and very well executed. Can absolutely recommend!
How It Ends (2018)
Really... :(
Okay, I love the actors. But.. we gotta talk about this ending.. You build the whole movie around something, that we never get to know anything about... I mean, sure the acting is good, the effects are great. But the story, meh, not so much, and don't get me wrong, I love the whole idea of the plot. But the way it panned out, and some of the things that happened was just stupid. Sorry to say... How come everybody become so hostile within no time at all, it's like everybody knew what to do, but we never got to know, neither the main charaters... And then this huge train with all the tanks, why tanks? And okay say, it crashed, wouldn't it be swarmed with the military, and or let's say that they are dead, or don't care, wouldn't there at least be some ammo, pistols, rifles or something else useful?
And the guy in the forrest with the girlfriend, why would he ever want to kill Will?.
And Will also suddenly became a VERY good driver, doing some James Bond shit, how did that happen?
Again, I loved the idea of the plot, but it was clearly missing something throughout the film, and other things were just misplaced or not supposed to be there in the first place, or it felt wrong.
