After having a stressful working week, with a slight headache I made the mistake to consider this movie being a nice start into the weekend. What could go wrong? Tom Hanks, the adaption of a Dan Brown movie... no expectation on a specific exciting film.
When it started in hectically flashing sequences, I took this as means to show the physical and mental state of Langdon. But it got worse. Shaky camera, fast sequences during escape scenes. And then, finally, after 10 minutes into the movie... Langdon on a couch. And even there the camera can not be steady. Never ever seen such a static scene being that shaken up. Constantly camera movements left and right and up and down. Never a fixed focus.
I mean, Hardcore:Henry, it features a first person view in a kind of experimental way. You can watch it and still not become sea sick - and enjoy.
This is like a drunk doing a YouTube movie. Sorry, but what I saw - and also just read - makes it not such a masterpiece to enjoy ending the film with a wrong ending and a bad headache.
Waste of bucks, for me.
