Captain Nova

Rare do you find European flicks where youth are portrayed with empathy and a sense of realism. This refreshing movie is no masterpiece for sure but it does entertain and even educate. I found it charming even at my advanced age. Acting is real, the writing fine and the direction decent. Worth a look.

There are some very redeeming qualities about this movie. There are some very good visuals including the cinematography and vfx. The acting is pretty decent for the most part and the score is very cinematic.

The problem with this film is the writing. It's just horrible. They should have sent this back for a few more rewrites. Nothing makes sense and people do things that have no motivation. The underlying theme is so basic and the situations are so poorly fabricated that the whole story just unravels by the end.

No pun intended - and future or rather time travel "logic" aside ... just try to enjoy the movie for what it is. The movie is more ... well it is aimed at a younger audience. I assume that even the Dutch secret service is way better in real life. Also way more deadly probably.

This is for young ones and they get a lot of things that will make them feel good. Main characters who are as young as they are (or similar age group). The robot thing is as straight as they come. And being "not funny" makes it even funnier. I would also say that you can tell where the movie is heading. No points for guessing that right then.... light movie for those interested.

The story is decent enough. Though the whole "I'm 12 now, and my suit and clothes magically fit perfectly" falls squarely in fantasy, not sci-fi. And that actress playing a 12 year old is a bit of a stretch... but "Nas" the boy is supposed to be 10... when the Actor is much closer to 16 than they are 10... LOL.

The dialog is a bit sparse, with the rest filled in with bizarre quantities of mouth breathing. Not sure why they even left that in...

Level of acting is poor and childish.

People are so inexpressible or maybe it's just me not used to Dutch productions.

Dialogs are pathetic at the best.
