Review Time
Warning: there is flash photography, flashing effects,
animal cruelty and capital punishment in one way or another in this project.
Storyline: it is wishy-washy, it misses
out the invention of electricity and there is a consistent element of capital
punishment after the animal cruelty element, because the storyline is
wishy-washy the pacing can be seen in the same light as well.
Action/Art/Comedy: there are weapons
being used, the art can be seen in the scenes through this project; to be a
little bit more specific about the art now the viewers can see these many, many
light bulbs in a massive circle with Edison/Cumberbatch standing in the middle
[the viewers do get to see this scene from an overview perspective,] another of
Edison's inventions the Kinetoscope [motion pictures] this is excellent art and
finally there is one tiny piece of comedy; here is a rough description it is
where [Younger Dash Edison/Woody] in Morse Code says "His nose looks like
a cherry" [referring to Morgan/Macfadyen] with Morgan/Macfadyen asking Edison basically
"What did he say?"
Characters/Performances: these are good on
every single level including good on-screen chemistry, but having said that and
this is nothing against these performers; but the viewers can't really enjoy
them because of everything I have said in previous paragraphs like the
storyline and all of that combined.
This film receives: 2/10, this film is
poor; I mean yes this film does focus on what it says on the side of the tin or
in this case DVD case "The Current War."But I wish they would have
focused on the creation of electricity first just for a small amount of time
and then move on from there [like doing the background first that kind of
approach,] I did find it difficult to settle down with this film, because of
everything I have said in this review, consequently I became bored if I am
being honest and see from the perspective of the criminal as capital punishment
is being delivered is/was very unnecessary.
