Lluvia ácida

Really wanted to like this and that's all I can say is I like it. It could of been so much better but the writers need some improvement on the characters.

The mother was not likeable and the daughter was so annoying, I found myself hoping for them to be killed off. Not sure why in last twenty years writers feel the need for children to be little aholes in every movie now. I miss the days of the kids like in Goonies or Stand By Me. Kids aren't stupid in real life for the most part so why always depict them that way. Children can certainly grasp serious situations and act appropriately and not be the reason others are killed like so many movies do now. The daughter made this almost unwatchable.

I like the story and they really could of had an amazing movie. The filming and special effects were good. This could of been a tv show for 2-3 seasons.

After LA NUEE and a short movie also called ACIDE, this French film maker offers the best hopes for the future. I only hope that he won't proceed in stupid comedies. When it was released in movie theaters, I counfounded it with LE REGNE ANIMAL, another French film also more or less in the same kind of stories. Ecological, science fiction.... A genre exploitation French film, but with a big budget. Yes, this director is a good chance for the movie industry to AT LAST offer the audiences something really solid. I only regret the last minutes. I guessed something else. More dramatic, more tragic. His short film ACIDE, back in 2018, was really downbeat, depressing. This longer version should have been the same. Period.

Decent movie. Very realistically done. Great acting.

Now I am reviewing Selma! First, she really needed to apologize to her father for his loss of legs because of her. Second, third, and fourth, she is the most annoying teenager who only knew three words, they were mama dad and help. She offered nothing except to make every situation even worse. I know she is just a character, but I hope she wasn't written based on somebody.

I watched this movie and thought the idea is good but why oh why do directors insist on stupid teenagers being stupid. It seems to be an after 2000 thing where teenagers seem to be spolt intitled idiots. In modern disaster films about global warming etc people moan about this that and the other but what do they expect. They caused it! To be honest we deserve everything that is going to happen to us. I'd love to be more positive about the future but as long as corruption and greedy people run this planet well this film theme could be the norm! A good movie should have characters we root for. I'm afraid in this one I didn't care enough about them to want them to survive!

Maybe prescient is the word I'm circling around here? Enter a very French tale about the future imperfect, amounting to more or less an environmental horror yarn evoking those 1970s nature run amuck flicks. The cinematography and editing grab and grip, especially the intro, vibrating almost with a sense of January 6 chaos. But as the tale reveals it's a survive-if-you-can story of fractured family amid a fractured world and Mother Nature will have her day on Anvers! Or something. The narrative traipses plausible ish, and the effects come across as not so unbelievable. My kingdom for a concrete bunker already!
