Breathe

I had seen the score and I figured this would be an awful movie, but I gave it a shot.

25% of this movie is the alert system going off and borrowing into your skull. They really didn't need to have the alert system go off non stop throughout the movie, but that's what they did.

I mainly watched this cuz of Milla Jovovich, thought it can't be that bad if she's in it, but it was that bad...

I wish I had a Flashlight and some Copper Wires, cuz then I could have made a "Electromagnetic Pulse" generator and used it and saved myself from this abomination basically.

I won't even rate this... It's just bad.

Well, I'm still stunned after watching Breathe - this is a masterpiece of boredom and a fine example of what is wrong with movie making these days on a grand scale: a script that is not developed but more or less a fragment, "hero" characters that are most annoying, a production that is somewhat okay but can't save the day, and dialogues right out of cloneland. I've watched tons of post-apocalyptic movies with a far lower budget, but they are entertaining masterpieces compared to this one. First of all, don't bore us to status brain dead while watching the most boring characters doing, well, nothing, and talking, well, about nothing. I really don't know, the idea is not that bad but the whole rest is. This one makes some cheesy post-apocalyptic movies of the 80s look like a drama of Shakespeare himself... Only recommended if you want, for whatever reason, to torture yourself, then this one will do.

I had not heard about this 2024 action thriller titled "Breathe" prior to sitting down to watch it. But I figured that I would give the movie a fair chance, since it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, and plus it had Milla Jovovich on the cast list, which counted for something.

I will say that the concept idea behind the script had a lot of potential to it. However, the execution from script to screen left much to be desired. I had great difficulties buying into the movie, especially since it was supposed to be an oxygen-less world, but it just didn't have that feel to it. So writer Doug Simon didn't exactly deliver anything that was worth writing home about.

There were a couple of familiar faces on the cast list, with the likes of Milla Jovovich, Sam Worthington, Dan Martin, James Saito and Common. I will say that the acting performances in "Breathe" were good.

Visually then "Breathe" wasn't a particularly impressive movie. Sure, it was passable for what it was, but you're not in for anything grand here. And I guess the orange filter that the movie had to it, whenever we looked at outdoors scenes helped to mask brighter colors of green and such that we would otherwise have seen on foliage throughout the course of the movie.

I am sure that there is an audience out there for a movie such as "Breathe", however, I have to admit that director Stefon Bristol didn't impress me with this movie.

My rating of "Breathe" lands on a generous three out of ten stars. The movie just felt like a half-hearted project.

In dreary, poorly performed near-future sci-fi "Breathe" Jennifer Hudson & over-confident teen daughter Quvenzhané Wallis live alone (months after hubbie / dad Common left them) in empty post-apocalyptic NY, struggling in the barren planet's devastated atmosphere - til Milla Jojovich, Sam Worthington & Raúl Castillo turn up asking about their oxygen machine... but are the gun-toting visitors' intentions good or bad? Cue tediously repetitive to & fro 'trust them or not' flawed sequences all leading to a wholly implausible short-cut ending. Doug Simon's lame screenplay is chiefly to blame, but Stefon Bristol's stressed direction doesn't help. Disappointing fare. A turd. Flush it.

Seemed promising but quickly makes no sense at all.... The character zora seems litteraly stupid, smart enough tobuild machines, incapable to understand that survival comes by being careful. Incredible that living in a post apocalyptic world some one would keep a spoilt brat attitude.

The grandfather takes pointless risks to get a book, and the father takes pointless risks to burry his family member so far away.... Seems like Darwin awards, what did they learn over the past 4 years of survival...

Protect their loved ones stay alive, be suspicious, when you are the only ones to have infinte oxygen... They learnt nothing, aside from the mother who had common sense.

The enemy characters made no sense.
