The Woman King (2022)
I really liked it
I was really impressed by the sets and costumes. Its a visually stunning movie. The soundtrack was also very immersive. The story was interesting as well.
It's rare to see stories about women on the big screen, even more rare stories that feel empowering. I highly recommend this movie if you are a women. Not sure what men think of it though.... but let's be real, they were not the target demographic. So I don't know why they feel the need to review bomb this. Ignore them.
This movie is more about human connnections than it is about war and fighting. Although there are some fight scenes and battle scenes, the movie reminds us that lives are at stake on each battle. It feels like a more mature and realistic view on war.
I Still See You (2018)
It could have been good, but it's not
I think the core concept and story line of the movie is quite interesting. Some of the special effects are very well executed.
I think the main actress played her role quite well. She managed to act well even in the most awkward scenes.
Speaking of awkward scenes, there's a lot of them. Theres a lot of times were people are just not behaving like real people would. The script is to blame for that.
An other big flaw of this movie is how the main character wasn't given much lines or even a personality. The protagonist is very passive. Things just happen around her. She is always directed by the men around her and doesn't seem to have any strong opinions on anything.
Her friend is kinda creepy and touches her without her consent multiple times. When I say without consent. I mean without any warning or rational reason to touch her. Could be a fun drinking game. Drink whenever pointless physical contact happens.
Im not sure who's to blame for this... The writer... The director? Anyways someone somewhere needs more practice at writing female characters.
Just a hint. A regular women does not follow a men in creepy places because we do not feel safe about doing it. If a women still chose to do that she would still feel like it's dangerous to do it. Write in the script that she is uncomfortable at least. Women do not trust men they don't know. Ask any women, they'll confirm this.
Chance (2019)
Better than I expected (no spoilers)
Its clear the budget for this movie was not very high but they did a good job with what they had. I really don't think this a movie for children but it was entertaining to watch as an adult.
This movie deals with mature themes and does feature death, the amount of gore shown is limited however. There is barely any blood shown and its not difficult to watch as a result. There is religious subtext but its not the focus of the movie.
The voice acting is good. The 3D models for the dogs are good too.
The backdrops are not detailed enough at the ground level, which is a problem considering most shots are at the eye level of the dogs.
Most of the camera shots are good. Some scenes stay too long. Some transitions do not flow well. However I can tell there was a lot of love and effort put into this movie.
To recap, I think overall it was worth a watch. I'm giving it a 7 because its a good movie but it does have flaws.
