Review Time: this
film is poor.
Fundamental elements: there are words and numbers on screen, voice-over
elements, background music, mental imagery, time jumps and place jumps.
The
entire movement of this title is something I don't like, be it the background
music or the pacing or anything other, it's just unappealing and makes this
film really hard work to watch [in fairness this is not the only reason why
this film is poor.]
Artistic visions/Action sequences: on both counts these two elements can be good on the eyes
or simply put just not, I will give you two things one of each to look out for
in this title, but before I do this; the difference between something of real
individualism or you know of something positive for me to talk about or
something to this effect compared to something which isn't, the gap itself to
begin with is huge and on top of that the switches between these two different
levels is quick, often and sudden. So for the next couple of minutes, I will be
positive the fly scene or sequence shows real artistic vision, it is something
visually elegant and subtle and for an action sequence [you could also see this
sequence as an artistic vision as well.] The action sequence I am making
reference to is where our lead role drops these little yet sophisticated metal
balls [something similar to ball bearings] and let's just say when our lead
role whistles these metal balls will come rolling [I will be discussing these
two examples again in the next paragraph.]
Character developments/Performances: continuing with being positive, the character developments
of our lead role is for some elements really well shown, as in the fly sequence
or the little metal balls sequence she is quiet and patient to catch this fly
or in the metal balls sequence, she will gather information or this liquid and
then escape, for the rest of the character developments they are poor. The
performances well this is one of those times where our lead role, Theron makes
the best out of what was given to her, whilst generally speaking the other
performances are poor [on a side note and in a nutshell I don't include
Postlethwaite in this; because he only does some tiny scenes and I don't think
it would be fair for me to tar him with the same brush.]
This film receives: 2/10, as I have already said in one way or another this
title does have some good bits and pieces, but for a majority of it; it isn't
fun watching.
