Take a look at it sometime; I really enjoyed it back then.

A remake, but with some changes, if I'm not mistaken.

Check it out sometime; I really enjoyed it.

Yes, it's also recommended... I'll try to take a look.

Field History



I wouldn't say I liked it, but I wouldn't say I disliked it either. Overall, it's one of those cases where you just want to stay silent. I've been into art-house lately.

Watched Alice Through the Looking Glass (2016, Disney).

- Look at the road! Who do you see there?
- No one, said Alice.
- I wish I had such eyesight! remarked the King with envy. - To see no one! And at such a distance!

(c) Book. In general, that's how I feel about the movie. -- Look at the movie! What do you see?
-- Nothing.
-- I wish I had such eyesight!
The first part, "Alice in Wonderland," was quite far from the book, and, of course, in a worse way. But still, it retained some things, and some new things, like the battle with the Barma-glot, were even relatively successful. The new part didn't take anything from the book (are we even going to consider the fact about mirrors?), a huge layer of ideas and linguistic humor was lost, and the best "pun" the authors could come up with is... ta-da! *Fanfare sounds.* Here comes a spoiler! Chronosphere!
Quite worthy of Lewis Carroll, don't you think?
In general, I don't know, such plots are usually inserted when there's nothing left to invent, but a prequel is desired. And yet, I can't say that the movie was bad. It's not original or witty, but the "Hollywood" that's there is generally implemented quite well. Therefore,
6/10

Mirror Skin



It's all very sad.

I watched the new Wolverine movie. Compared to other films about him, this one is the best. It's not just about the higher rating and the abundance of blood, severed heads, and other gore. Although that's enjoyable too.

Ballad of a Soldier (USSR, 1959)
I watched this movie yesterday. The beginning seemed quite amusing, but in the end, the film is about something else. A very interesting and heartwarming story. 8.5/10
Today, while browsing the internet, I learned that the actor Alexander Kuznetsov, who played in this film (not the main role), passed away yesterday. Well, may he rest in peace.

2001: A Space Odyssey



So-so. The scenes are terribly drawn out (maybe it was cool to watch space in 1968, but not today), it's not clear what's going on, it's very Kubrick-esque.

(maybe it was cool to look at space in 1968, but not today)

Every day I look at space from the window of the porthole of the space station.

Drug addict.

It's been a while since I went to the cinema, but I remembered it the other day and watched it again. It's a really cool animated film.
+ Beautiful, funny, very interesting graphics, the character design is incredibly cool, the design and concept of the world are simply 146/10 (and who cares that the creators are being compared to "Avatar," you can never have too much of a good thing), unusual style, consistent atmosphere, pleasant plot, although not without clichés, it's not entirely a template on a template.
- There's a feeling of a fast-paced plot, there weren't enough scenes to let the main characters interact with each other and develop, with a few exceptions and random funny moments, everything was focused on pushing the plot forward. Maybe that's why it didn't really grab me.
= The animation is incredibly cool visually, and it's worth watching just for that. The main character is adorable :3 It's unlikely to be worth watching a hundred times, but enjoying the graphics and style is perfect. 9/10.

All-metal casing



Not bad. Definitely better than Odyssey. Although it didn't really grab my attention.

That's right, movies like Bambi should be watched at a more or less mature age, when a person understands what real feelings and tragedies are, rather than getting an adrenaline rush from cheap special effects.

Star Wars: Rogue One
People generally praise this film and use it as an example for the seventh episode, but I, on the contrary, liked it less. Yes, Rogue One had some pleasant moments and unusual characters in terms of concept, but overall, it feels like this: "Guys, we have a lot of ideas, we need to fit them into an hour and a half, hop-hop-hop, quickly, don't slow down!" It feels like you're watching in fast forward; the events on the screen unfold without any transitions or concern for the characters' motivations, or even the consistency of their personalities.
But there is one big positive point (spoiler: everyone dies). The film is self-contained. Was it worth creating such a rush for this? Well, I don't know.
5.5/10 Watchable, but I would have preferred to spend my time differently. Considering that this is Star Wars, which is one of those franchises that you usually want to watch by default...
