again, not a bad movie and entertaining enough to keep my attention for what, 2.5 hours? long movie. i just didn't agree with the forced morality message and the plot points required to set that up. murphy for instance, just not a welldone character development for her. her love for her dad was so strong she rejected him at the most crucial point in both their lives and continued that rejection for decades ultimately turning that into a belief her dad abandoned her? simply to setup the conclusion that love solves everything. then to have her on her death bed basically reject her dad when he shows up? that's weird.
also, i brought it up in this thread because i think it's a good counter to fury road. |
I'm not sure if that was a rejection....
I guess most people could have quibbles about the emotional elements and character motivations. I was mostly in awe of the filmmaking as a whole. The use of mostly practical, old school effects and the score (with the bombastic church organs) was just something like I haven't heard in years and fit perfectly with the visuals -- especially that crazy docking scene.
