Captain Volkonogov Escaped (2021)

Few words

[10/10 · 29 January 2024]

This movie wins, in my opinion, with its outstanding acting (from another world - almost literally) and with the moral of the story.

So many emotions. It was captivating.

I dont want say anything else. But I have to because this review has to be at least 600 letters long.

So I'll add that giving a 10 to a movie is outstanding from my part. Go figure, there may always be a better film somewhere, but I won't wait for it to give 10 stars. It was the right movie at the right time. What else. It's gracefully graphic if that makes any sense.

Enjoy, this one is worth making time for, even for the busiest

U-571 (2000)

Very good, no more no less

[7/10 · 30 April 2021]

Although sometimes inaccurate, and sometimes the good guys have it too good, it is suspenseful and dramatic. M. McC and the rest of the cast act great. Down to earth, special effects limited to a few explosions.

Of course it's incomparable to Das Boot, but still holds a strong and interesting plot.

The Midnight Sky (2020)

It was so anemic that you wonder what happened to extraterrestrial living forms, planet invasions, life discoveries, space and time travel... Good old sci-fi! When did we all become so boring? Mix of 3 narratives, intercecating at end (not impressed), no explanation whatsoever for the earth disaster (c'mon feed me some fantasy here), only 4-5 crew members at large on a mega-huge spaceship that barely seem to work but only pass time in their souvenir capsules with they're loved ones, constantly making a point for their time away from home. A grunting beardy remorseful George C. constantly dreaming of his ex, going on a small adventure with this kid in the snowing antartica wearing very fashionable parkas (you'll get a price tag if you Google them) to find a working antenna to establish contact... God I'm bored. Also the kid doesn't talk. Obviously. Anyway, the kid is his daughter, whom is at the same time on the spaceship (yes that's the intercecating plot twist at the end). Did I mention one member of the crew dies because of a meteor shower while on a spacewalk? I mean did anyone even try? It's about 2 hours and I counted about 6-7 sentences in total... Typical new age 'no explanation needed it's all in the message' sci-fi movie. I just opened an account to write this review. I could go on forever underlining every mistake in this film. Also they use some modern terminology 'hey we could print this spaceship piece' OK we get it you acknowledged 3D printing is a thing. Alright that's it :) Joe
