Pacific Rim (2013)
This is just great
Hoooyaaa! Brace yourselves for a spectacular adventure! I am a big fan o SF movies with impressive special effects and this was just my cup of tea. I give it a 10 for special effects, a 10 for the story and maybe a 9 for the actors, but in this case, they don't really matter, do they? Great movie, the action is continuous, and you never get the chance to get bored or escape the plot grip. The effects are top quality and I am so very sorry that I misses the chance to see it in 3D, I guess it was wonderful. Recommended for SF and adventure fans, interesting plot and idea: robots, monsters and everything that matters, big lack of romance (which I find useful in this kind of movies) so everything is in place. Thumbs up!
Divergent (2014)
Not impressed
It seems that all these new movies are about SF scenarios, the end of the world, mass destruction and so on. Divergent is a combination of The Hungers and Harry Potter with all the pickings for the right house or faction, whatever. The most idiotic part was the parents' death scene: cry like hell for the mother, don't even bother for the father. Overall, totally not impressed: uninteresting, not original, and extremely long . But I don't know what I expected actually. Maybe the books are interesting, who knows. After seeing the movie I won't read them. I'm sure that they'll make a part 2 that I'm going to see only because I don't like to leave things unfinished. Other than that, it's just a snore...
