65 : La Terre d'avant

This is nowhere near a perfect movie. That being said, it's nowhere near trash either. Amazing cinematography, cgi and acting take this film a long way. In the days where mediocre 200 million marvel movies have swallowed cinema, this is honestly a breath of fresh air. I have missed watching lower budget standalone action films that don't require any external knowledge of the audience in order to understand the plot and are just a fun 90 minute watch.

So I suppose that even though this is not a perfect movie it's a new original idea and that's all I want to see from cinema nowadays. It is the direction that will bring the industry to light and maybe let it evolve (which will not happen if all the studios release reboot after reboot for the next decade)

I really think this film would be doing much better at the box office with a better title and clearer marketing. This is a more than serviceable action thriller starring a legitimate star that is mostly entertaining for its 90 minute runtime.

The CGI is surprisingly good given the small budget and it's cool seeing dinos in a non-Jurassic Park film. The story is probably the weakest element given its cliched beats and real Last of Us vibe. Some wooden dialogue and lack of exposition round out my critiques. I liked the futuristic tech in the film and Driver delivers an expected solid showing. 65 won't light the genre on fire, but it's better than it's getting credit for.

I DUNNO!

This is a decent film in my opinion. I give it a 6.5 stars.

A transportation pilot carrying passengers suspended in a cryogenic sleep finds himself stranded on an unknown planet after colliding with debris from an uncharted asteroid belt. Only he and a child survive the crash but they are miles from their only escape pod and they aren't alone.

Adam Driver gave a good performance, the story was interesting and the special effects were good. I'm not much of a sci-fi buff but the tech and weaponry created for the film were good too.

Admittedly, the film could have had a faster pace and more action. I think if it fails anywhere that would be my complaint but it was a decent film regardless.

I don't really understand all the hate but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It may not be for everyone I suppose but I know that I'll likely watch this again at some point.

The plot is updated and integrated themes from various older ones, but it works. The CGI is well done and feels right. The interaction between the two primary characters is well done and they connect .

Adam Driver plays the role very well as the clinical , angry pilot. Yet warm and caring as time goes on.

Ariana Greenblatt plays the role of a scared child , who is confused about what is going on. She also brings some humor to the movie. Her acting is superb . One minute she is a scared little girl , the next she is making fun of Adam .

I enjoyed it, then I love survival movies. So this is a perfect movie for me.

I'm the exact target audience for this movie. I'm a sci-fi junkie, I love thrillers, Adam Driver is awesome, and I'll watch basically anything with large scary creatures. This should have been a layup for me to like. Yet I found myself unengaged and somewhat bored. I started feeling sleepy even after a Red Bull.

I don't really know how or why it happened, but this is just a forgettable movie. Some dumb things happen but I am able to turn my brain off. Although after watching the Angry Joes review, I didn't realize how many dumb things I ignored. I guess I just didn't care enough to notice them.

I hope a movie like this doesn't discourage studios from going for more of these mid-budget movies. I like the idea of an isolated story somewhere random in space/time. I just hope they do a better job next time. (1 viewing, opening Sunday 3/12/2023)
