Invasie

I normally don't leave reviews here but this was so bad I just had to warn others. Did not know if I had to laugh or cry watching this. This is a typical Dutch movie of this era. Bad actors (always the same ones), bad script and no budget and terrible CGI. Why does Dutch cinema always use the same 15+ actors and actrices in every single movie they make??? The actors act like they have never acted before (the professional soldiers used in the film as extras act much better), the storyline is laughable at best but mostly totally unbelievable. I cannot imagine that someone at the Dutch department of defense thought it would be a good idea to participate in this. In fact, it makes me angry realizing that the Dutch department of defense wasted my tax money on this disaster of a movie. Because that is what this is. A recruiting movie for the Dutch military but only done very very badly. The 4.9 it has now does not do it justice. It should be a 0.1. Don't watch this and go waste your time on something else. You will thank me later.

Well, I did make the wish "This Movie should be available Internationally" before. Anyway, when checkout on my phone (Trailer on YouTube) and know it will available in USA (maybe on other countries in the future or together), I was excited 😆😆. Maybe this review isn't related but I only say about the excitement after waiting nearly 1 year since premiered in NLD

Last year, when I visited Official Instagram "Royal Netherlands Navy or Koninklijke Marine, and see this movie was premiered on cinema, I was like expecting it will gonna available internationally, I thought that movie isn't gonna be available internationally (at least started in US first).

Maybe you guys may give low ratings, but I just give it 10, not because what. I just want to appreciate the effort about this movie creations. Also, I'm just a person who like movie like this one even some I currently still watch offline.

In short: the invasion happens, heroes need to rescue someone, there's a lot of stress but will they manage? Sure this isn't an art house movie, but don't mind all the nitwit reviews by people who don't like an action movie in which they speak Dutch. Story line is to the style, the acting is ok and the tension is there. And yes, as ex military, it's not even close to reality. But which action movie is? And the Caribbean islands might be mixed up. But who cares? It's a movie, it's entertainment and this one does the job. I gave it a +1 score because of all the bad reviews. Which I normally wouldn't do but this one deserved it.

The movie is oke and fine if you have nothing to do. A lot of inaccuracies with makes a Marvel movie more realistic than this one. It starts fine, but it takes quite some time to gain some context on what is happying and initial introduction of characters is a waste of time as they are completely irrelevant to the story. The focus is completely removed from those characters and the context created.

And then the end.. the movie stops suddenly without a solid or plausible end making the 1,5 hours a waste of your life.

Acting is fine, but nothing special.

I have no idea how this is in line, in respect to quality, with Mocro Maffia.

The script feels like it was written for 4 year olds. Lots of exposition, lots of coincidences that make the plot move forward. Characters just disappearing from the movie so another actor can do his part. Apparently NATO is not a thing anymore in this movie. Aruba only has a total of 10 marines on the islands military base. A marine that just got out of basic knows how to freefall parachute with full kit on. All these things make it a bad movie. However it is also hilariously bad, because of all these aspects. Some of the lines that are delivered are unintentionally funny. The characters are also just caricatures of military personnel what makes it funny. People just finding each other in a vast jungle without a clear reason is also really funny for some reason. All and all I would not recommend this to go and see this in theaters, but watching this at home with some buddies it could be really funny, especially if you know anything about the military.
