I don't recommend movies I haven't seen. The word "tell" was an invitation to continue your story, in the spirit of "so, how was it?", meaning yes, I wanted to know your opinion.
I don't keep statistics, of course... I just want to know the opinion of those who like movies of this genre. You don't belong to that group. That's fine.

I already wrote that it's a 7/10, and even that's a bit generous. I was specifically talking about "Brazil," not all movies of that kind.

Yes, drama is a powerful thing.
By the way, if anyone can handle "Brazil" by Terry Gilliam, from 1976 as far as I remember, they'll really... get a five with a plus.

Lynx, did you like "The Pianist"? Did you connect with the main character's performance? You should also watch "The Jacket."

I liked it; the film stands out for its atmosphere. For example, I was repeatedly surprised by scenes where people walk past corpses, and their faces are expressionless, as if everything is normal, nothing is happening, it's all commonplace... it was shocking, even though you know it's just a film.

The most interesting thing is that you can't really call the protagonist a "hero"; there's no heroism in him. He's just a person who is terrified, and the fact that he was given the "main" role is not a drawback, as it turned out.

Overall, the performance was extremely realistic.

Rarely does a film have such a strong impact on my emotional state, but this one did.

Vistrit, I saw it! It's pretty good.
Links, but this is an autobiography of a pianist, and the setting is wartime. The feeling of sympathy and pity for the protagonist is very strong.

I happened to watch Madagascar 2. Compared to the first part, it's less interesting and funny, but overall it's decent. I liked the herd of zebras.

It seems you don't have a very good sense of humor if you think the first movie is better than the second.
P.S. I watched "The Three Musketeers." It's nonsense.

Lynx, but this is an autobiography of a pianist, and the time period is wartime. The sympathy and pity for the protagonist are overwhelming.

I felt more sorry for the parents, who had to watch their own children being killed. That was truly a horrific ordeal.

Altitude, 2010
The story unfolds aboard a small plane with four teenage friends and an inexperienced girl at the controls. Due to a mechanical malfunction, the jet soars to an unimaginable height and then begins to fall through an endless fog. When the guys regain control, it turns out that, according to all calculations, they should have already crashed into the ground, but instead, they continue to fall into the unknown. And something ominous, hidden in the misty clouds, craves their death... :smile31:
So, let's go in order.

Actors: no one particularly stood out, but everyone coped with their roles. If there was anything somewhat inappropriate in their behavior, it was more likely a flaw of the director and screenwriter.

Cinematographer: absolutely no complaints, at a modern Hollywood level. He didn't surprise with any special shooting techniques, but his static shots in tense moments after the dynamic action in the second half of the film are very good (those shots where the composition cuts off the faces of the characters and shifts them to the edge – very well emphasize the dramatic situation).

Director: congratulations on his full-length debut! His film looks very tense; he builds up the pressure where necessary and relaxes it where it is not required. He clearly has a good sense of proportion and taste. One remark can be made to the director (and to the screenwriter as well) regarding the scene where one of the characters is outside the plane. The actions in this scene are not very realistic and further emphasize the inappropriate behavior of the girl with the camera.

Composer: "quiet waters run deep," he did his job without spoiling anything and supported the atmosphere.

Effects: a big plus is that there weren't many of them and they were used in the places where they were needed. Does anyone expect stunning special effects in a low-budget film?

Editing: good, no editing jumps were noticed.

Conclusion: very good for this type of film! The director should not stop at what he has achieved and aim for the next "heights"!

Excellent job copying and pasting the review without mentioning the author or source. Well done.

Well, I finally watched "Wakfu." I must say, the French know their stuff; it's a pretty good cartoon. It's beautifully drawn and full of interesting characters (especially the main character. I often notice that in mediocre films, the main character looks, if not like a complete sociopath, then at least not very appealing. But Yugo in this cartoon is very likable and really seems like a child, not some pompous superhero). Overall, I'd give it an 8.5/10; I agree with "Kinopoisk" here: in my opinion, it falls just a little short of a solid 5 out of 10 due to some plot flaws.
P.S. Regarding whether it's "wholesome," as mentioned on "Kinopoisk." Generally, yes, but I somehow started watching with the bonus episode. And there... blood, gore, dismemberment, and the villagers are wondering what to do with the brutally torn-apart corpse of a bull-man. I was a bit shocked. But there's nothing like that in the main episodes.
P.S.S. Sorc's translation is terrible; if the subtitles are still decent, then the audio is filled with some nonsense, sometimes even with swearing. So, for those who don't know French, I recommend the original audio with Russian or English subtitles.

Today I watched "Wrath of the Titans" in 3D. The movie is amazing. I immediately liked the plot based on Greek mythology, and how could I not go see such a film when I'm a fan of "Titan Quest"? The special effects impressed me with their realism and scale; in some moments, even natural instincts kicked in, such as an involuntary twitch from the desire to dodge a stone flying towards me. The plot is also decent; there's no stupid gore or senseless explosions. Everything is well-thought-out. Overall, I didn't regret it. 9 out of 10.

I finally decided to watch "Titanic" on the big screen; unfortunately, I didn't get the chance last time. It's an amazing film that captivates you from the very first seconds.

Watched "Wrath of the Titans" - nothing special... The plot is banal. As always, good triumphs over evil, and the main villain didn't even have time to do anything - he was defeated very quickly. Overall, it was boring.

What else can you expect from a trash movie?))

Is this just my thought, or is Andrey deliberately reviewing films that someone in this thread likes, only to later say that they are garbage? just asking

Drakkothe has binged on more TV shows again.
Star Trek TNG. The one with Captain Facepalm. While watching, I realized how much I missed the opening theme from TOS. Overall, I really liked the series; I'd say it's a worthy continuation, although not without its flaws. But first and foremost, it's a quintessential space opera, and I understand why the Star Trek universe has become so beloved by many. Facepalm himself (in real life, Jean-Luc Picard), the rest of the ship's crew, and, of course, Q kept things interesting. And there were the Borg! The race of my dreams! The Borg! Awesome Borg!!! Bo-o-o-o-rg! Sorry, I couldn't resist. By the way, I didn't mention it, but after watching TOS, I reflected on what I saw and realized that it's an excellent series, appealing to modern viewers with its naiveté and leaving a very good and positive impression overall.
X-Files. Not my genre. I can't say that the series is unsuccessful, bad, or not recommended for viewing; it just didn't appeal to me. Out of the four seasons I watched, only about ten episodes really caught my attention. But I don't have any negative feelings towards the series as a whole; that would be silly of me.
Stargate SG-1. I'm watching it now. Season one. So far, it's left a generally pleasant impression, but it's too early to judge.
