La sociedad de la nieve (2023)
The final 30 minutes completes the 1993 version
I've always loved the 1993 version (Alive) and seen it lots of times so I was always looking forward to seeing this. I thought it was pretty good... that is until the last 30 minutes - wow! So much emotion and completes the whole story that was missing from the 1993 version.
By no means am I saying this is a poor film, in fact the production was great and so much time and effort went into this going from the write ups prior to its release. Having relations involved from the true story also makes it more emotional.
If you find it long at almost 2hrs 30min just hold out to the last 30 minutes.
The Stand (2020)
Don't bother - original series is better
Firstly I've never read the book so I'm solely comparing this on the original 90's mini-series.
I had such high hopes for this new version with its impressive cast, bigger budget and longer version, I even waited until I watched it all in case it got better - but I was wrong.
It just didn't work and even the actors didn't have the right chemistry, except one - Owen Teague who played "Harold" was brilliant and the only reason I gave 5 stars.
Do yourself a favour and watch the 90's version it's waaay better.
