Blink

I don't think many people here have the German series Dark. The film Blink borrows liberally from the German series that was both about time travel and travel between universes.

Anyway, about Blink. A decent effort no doubt, but the back ground score!! My God, too loud and jarring. Indian films are slowly learning the value of silence. Obviously, not this one. Literally jumping in my seat with the unexpectedly loud score. Also I didn't feel the interspersing of songs were necessary in a film of this nature. Took away from the tautness of the narrative.

Acting was good and dialogues were passable.

Some continuity issues, could have been addressed with tighter editing.

Hope the team, now a movie old, will do a better job of it during the making of their next.

I absolutely loved the book references, movie references and the bgm of the movie. It's well crafted. The music, the lyrics of the songs are something I wanna listen to over and over again!

I liked how a lot of new artists were introduced in the movie.

I don't think the kannada audience in my theatre enjoyed the new concept, recieved a lot of negative comments towards the end of the movie.

I'm glad I enjoyed this movie in the theatres given that the bgm is splendid!

I could very well spot the mad love towards kannada, cinema, books and music. For someone who loves books, music and cinema, this movie was a package deal!

This film is an absolute must-watch! With a captivating storyline that diverges from the typical cinematic tropes, it offers a refreshing and unique viewing experience. The plot keeps you engaged from start to finish, weaving together unexpected twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat. What truly sets this movie apart, however, is the outstanding performances delivered by every member of the cast. Each actor brings depth and authenticity to their role, immersing the audience in the story's world and creating a truly unforgettable viewing experience. From the protagonist to the supporting characters, every performance is nuanced and compelling, adding layers of complexity to the narrative. Whether you're a fan of drama, suspense, or simply great storytelling, this film delivers on all fronts, making it a standout must-watch for any cinephile.

I was totally blank about it's concept before doing deep dive into the movie. Initial 45Min was such a painful to watch because we didn't have any clue ; what the hell in going on the screen? The chemistry between the leading couple was also not that exciting in that period of time. BUT in the 2nd Half this movie it turned extremely upside-down. When the actual concept of the movie got revealed at the 50-55Min excitement for this movie came back rapidly. And from that scene it's peaked it's pace and screenplay got interesting. It kept going on until the climax situation came, where we can notice a major loophole, which simply bend our mind! And we felt like WTF was that? And with so much confusions here and there they just ended it aesthetically.

So basically this movie is not for everyone, especially who loves fast paced movie will surely leave this film at the middle part. For a cinephile it will feel like an average movie. And those who watched such concepts before will feel like something is missing in this entire movie! But in my personal view I can assure that if we consider the entire plot and the leading character's act in the climax blended the plot nicely and plot is justified somehow!

Acting performances of all the characters were too good. Music was good as well. Cinematography was brilliant despite a strict budget movie. Editing was well and good except the first half where storyline got dragged in extreme where an average cinema lover will leave his/her attention from the plot.

Good to Go with Family. From my side it will be 6 Out of 10 Stars for it..

2014 movie, "Predestination" has similar time travel loop. "Blink" appears to be a simplified version of this. Even then, it is a good effort in Kannada movie, to bring a sci-fi story into life that can be understood easily. I enjoyed it. Happy watching.

PS: Netflix 2017 series "Dark" (my rating 10/10) and Night Shyamalan 2024 movie "Caddo Lake" (my rating 6/10) are other recommendations for sci-fi enthusiasts. "Looper" Bruce Willis 2012 movie (my rating 8/10) is another movie in this genre. Year 2000 movie "Frequency" (my rating 8/10) is another time travel genre movie that you all may like.
