Ricki and the Flash (2015)
Don't!
In "Ricki and the Flash" I expected an idiotic film, but found instead a shallow (and idiotic) one. Initially, the plot unfolds quite interesting and could develop into a conflict-ridden drama. Instead, the film bobs to a kitschy, vacuous feel-good movie of the vomiting kind. Given the cinema poster - had I really expected anything else from this film?
Even the performance of some of the actors couldn't help this dull, meaningless story.
P.S.: Is it really a spoiler to reveal the fact, that a Hollywood film has a happy end?
Prometheus (2012)
Tree of Life II - Nice pictures just aren't enough
*** Contains spoilers ***
At the beginning of the film, when also the religious gobbledygook started, it reminded me to my horror of Tree of Life (which I left in the middle). But from this point on, "Prometheus" got worse and worse.
Just a few questions:
- Why consists the whole crew on this trillion dollar trip to meet our makers of amateurs?
- Why would a geologist who is in charge of mapping get lost, despite all the shiny high-tech junk?
- Why does the archaeologist Holloway sulk when he finds dead bodies of the first alien species ever encountered?
- Why did the space jockey (sorry, "engineer") commit suicide at the beginning of the film - to create mankind? Was there no other way?
- Why would the engineers create us? Oh, I see, because "they could". That's probably the reason why the would destroy us eventually.
- Anyway, why are the space jockeys so grumpy?
- Why, oh why has Vickers to be the daughter of Weyland ("I am your father, Luke"... that was the real cringe part)
- Why is the cross Shaw is wearing as important as a piece of garlic in a vampire movie?
I could go on for hours. I "choose to believe" that this film has nothing to do with the original Alien and I'm already feeling better.
