Dune (2021)
Similar feel to Blade Runner
Imagery and sound effects very similar to Blade Runner 2049. Loved the world and details (blend of mediaeval and plain architecture. What I did not like was missing character development. I didnt feel much connection. Overall still very worth viewing!
Why Are We Creative: The Centipede's Dilemma (2018)
Missing the point
By interviewing only super successful people the film misses a point. It would have been much more interesting to ask people with less or even no success!
Bad Times at the El Royale (2018)
A patchwork of themes with poor finish
I really enjoyed the start of the movie. The setting had something of "Hotel Budapest" and the screen picture composition was really spot on. E.g. the initial scene when the money was hid. Also the revelation that every room had one way mirrors was really clever. Up.to here i would rate the film an 8. But from here it all went south.
Billy Lee - his name should've rather been Byler Turden - Tyler's mustached brother! What a poor poor copy of Fight Club. Walking around all sexy through the yellow fields and giving his lousy speech about "society" posing as the alpha male. Every scene showed him topless. I wonder where his gym was when he trained his body down to 2% body fat and how he waxed his pubes when in his little jungle society. All the main actors are threatened to be killed by him - but it just didnt work. I felt 0 empathy for any of the main actors, except maybe for the singer lady, as they all seemed shady and had no depth to their character! Should i feel sorry for the big sister? No thanks. And the little girl with her daddy issues adding a poor the "The Ring" vibe to it all... This mix just got way too complicated at the end and the resolution of the plot felt really stupid. What a pitty after such a nicely composed build up! The last half of the movie I rate with a 2... So my verdict is 50%×8 + 50%×2 = 5.
