Gaia

This film could of been great, it had a great idea, good effects, just not alot happened, a few to many 'dream like' scenes that went on for to long, i feel like they tried to hard to not be a standard, lost in the woods/creature horror film.

Its obviously good to try something diffrent but i think this film would of been better if it just embraced what it was.

I'm not familiar with the video game so many referred to, so I liked the special effects for the monsters. It was very slow, so that was a negative. The main actress is obviously a new face, but I thought she did a great job and she is very beautiful. I loved the claustrophobic feeling from the ratio used in the cinematography. That forest is beautiful, but I DON'T have any urge to go traipsing thru it. LOL I found the main character to be quite selfish to the cost of others. Overall if you have patience, I think it's worth a 1 time watch. ;D.

Gaia is a weird movie. Weird but not bad. The story is easy to follow, and contains some strange creatures what gives it a little horror effect. Of course it's all fantasy, nothing to take too seriously and that's how you should watch it, with an open mind. It's a very small cast and overal they did a good job. I can't say I watched a lot of good movies from South-Africa but Gaia is certainly worth a watch. The cinematography wasn't bad at all. The languages are mostly English, but sometimes there is a little Afrikaans, which is for me who speak Dutch a nice and strange thing to hear. Strange like the whole story.

Gabi and Winston are environmentalists checking on remote wildlife cameras in the deep jungle. Gabi loses a drone to what appears to be a wild man. She goes to retrieve the drone. Instead, she finds a father, his son, and a monster of nature.

This is a fine little body horror. It starts more like a cheap Eli Roth horror. As it got more into the body, I was hoping for Cronenberg level. In the end, it's a fine indie horror that hints of something more. It touches on environmentalism, Greek tragedy, and survivalist cult but it doesn't fully satisfy. I like some of the visuals and some of the ideas. This is interesting but not all the potential gets realized.

That was different and poetic. Yeah its similar to last of us. Yes its slow, but it doesnt make it any less beautiful. Idk what it all means or if there is a deeper meaning but what i came out with is the tree is life, and we are the virus.
