فيلم اكشن خيالي يدور
حول فرقة من البشر لا يموتون الا بعد قرون طويله
و لا يتأثر بالجروح و القتل الا
اذا وصل لعمر كهل فجأه يكون كشخص عادي قابل لظروف البشر العاديين حيث يصاب او يموت
الفرقة تحاول البقاء كل فترة زمنية في مكان ثم تنتقل
الى غيره حتى لا يكتشف امرهم و يكونوا عرضه
لحكم البشر عليهم الغير عادل طبعا
حتى يعتاشو يقومون بمهمات عسكرية شبه مستحيله او صعبة
و طبعا لقوتهم و عدم امكانية قتلهم غالبا ينجحون بها
فكرة الفيلم تنبي ان القصة ربما تتطور الى اجزاء
و تكون سلسلة افلام
و اظن انها ستسلك هذا الطريق حيث
نجح الفيلم في جلب مشاهدات كبيرة
الاداء و الاخراج لا يعلى عليه
و تشارليز قدمت دور جيد
First things first: What the _f**k_ is up with the music choices?! The original tracks were fine, but I don't think a single licensed song fit the tone of where it appeared in the film.
Now then.
I'm awarding this 8/10 despite shortcomings listed below, because it still held my attention and got me to care about the protagonists. Hope springs eternal from the set-up for a sequel—I want to learn more about these people.
Someone needs a lesson in writing villains, though. One antagonist was just a one-note, power-mad asshole; the other just took whichever side the story required. Not much of a character, was he? (This could mean either of them, and I intended so.)
Nitpicking is more than I want to get into for this, but a couple things deserve it. First, tire tracks in the grass that shouldn't be there (before Andy & Booker enter Copley's house the first time). And second, get outta here with Merrick pointing a gun at Andy in the penthouse. Calling her selfish is just projection.
Broadly speaking, there _are_ a lot of broad strokes in this script. The premise is intriguing, but the story doesn't really flesh it out—obvious sequel bait. The characters make lots of philosophical comments (some more "I'm 14 and this is deep" than actually philosophical, to be fair)—but that plot thread is pretty thin at best.
This being a Netflix production, I guess they decided it was OK to borrow some elements of their own series _Sense8_ (in that all of the "immortals" are kind of "linked" telepathically or something). Cool, I guess.
Ultimately, this isn't a _bad_ film. It's actually quite enjoyable on the right occasion. But as much as I _did_ enjoy it, I can easily see parts where it could have been better.
>"I've been here before. Over and over again. And each time the same question. Is this it? Will this time be the one? And each time the same answer. And I'm just so tired of it."
This was a fun flick to watch. There are some cheesy moments (and music choices felt a little off) but for the most part it was pretty cool. I really enjoyed the characters. Whoever did the fighting choreography did a really good job, and of course Charlize Theron kicked ass. Netflix needs to make more of these.
