Ok I was gunna do this in the last movie you watched thread but I wrote to much.
I know it may look like a lot but please read it. I worked hard on it and I know I may seem abit to praisey but like I have said before I am easily pleased, and this is a good movie anyway so I am super pleased with this and hope for a sequel.
VisualFX - They are perfect, the prawns look realistic enough to not take you out of the experience though it is not up to avatar level though there is no need for them to be, the only thing on the cgi or prawn front that I think could be improved was the occasional blurriness of the prawn they were occasionally out of focus at the beggining but that was done on purpose I would of just chosen not to do that.
On the non alien visuals everything was perfect the weapons (which were amazing never seen gun fights to be so fun to watch.) were all so unique and explosions and all that were also perfect especially some shots were the camera got dirt on it or cracked or the more common blood splatter just added to the epicness and the attention to detail, and there is more but if I write to much no one will read it so I will leave it at that
99% That may sound a bit fanboyish but really there is nothing wrong about them they are very belivable and I think this is now what I expect for a movie.
Storyline -The storyline to this film is so unique and different, that it is one of the only films that has made me think wow what a great story it has, I love the mockumentary beggining and ending it is blended perfectly it just gave you enough clues to keep you interested and not to many to ruin it the writer should be awarded and the director as well esspecialy considering it was his first big feature film and also since there is no acting section I might has well put it here, when you think about it there were no big actors in this yet the acting for some of the characters is oscar worthy. Anyway back to storyline, The only problem I had with it was the hospital scene I felt a bit quesy though I know it was needed for the story to move forward, and yer I think that's all about the storyline, apart from I liked the fact that there was not a proper villain apart from the company reminded me of aliens though you could call that mnu marine guy the antagonist though I felt that the situation didn't really have him as the enemy just a pawn I see the enemy more as the people behind the scenes. I like films like that though it is more realistic since in many situations there isn't a obvious bad guy.
95% Again this is one of the most unique, intriguing, smart film stories I have seen in ages it still remains fun though.
SoundFX -Again nothing to complain about, though unlike the other categories nothing to praise either they were really good for what they were but again it didn't really stan out for me like the departeds. Though I think it is better than alot of films just nothing special. Not much else to say except the gun sounds and explosions and stuff was top notch.
80% Considering I said it was average you might think it is a bit to high but I still think it is better than most average movies just it didn't really stand out much.
Violent Factor -It was very violent don't get me wrong but that is not why I love this movie. I prefer more from my films than just violence. While it is true I like quite a lot of films that have lots of violence. So it didn't come as a shock to me how violent it was I was expecting it, the violence in this also wasn't the films main point it went a lot deeper for example all the alien guns created such violent deaths but at the time I didn't notice because I was so caught up in the story so I think it had the perfect balance, I also touched on this in one of the other sections, but I loved all the camera effects like the cracked lens, and the blood and brains that landed on the lens it was just the icing on the cake.
90% Really nothing more to say this movie is just amazing.
Overall -100% I know you guys will think I am a bit nooby for rating it so high but this is one of my favourite movies of all time if not my favourite. This is one of the only scifis that I can take seriously (predator and alien are also in the scifis I can take seriously list
) I think the story was so unique and interesting, and the action was brilliantly directed. That it would be a sin not to see it at least once, and I want to see a sequel hopefully curing wikus because he is one of the only characters ever that I have felt real empathy for and felt so sorry for him.
Hopefully at least one member reads it and then watches the movie if you haven't already hope you like my review.
