Captain Nova

The story is decent enough. Though the whole "I'm 12 now, and my suit and clothes magically fit perfectly" falls squarely in fantasy, not sci-fi. And that actress playing a 12 year old is a bit of a stretch... but "Nas" the boy is supposed to be 10... when the Actor is much closer to 16 than they are 10... LOL.

The dialog is a bit sparse, with the rest filled in with bizarre quantities of mouth breathing. Not sure why they even left that in...

No pun intended - and future or rather time travel "logic" aside ... just try to enjoy the movie for what it is. The movie is more ... well it is aimed at a younger audience. I assume that even the Dutch secret service is way better in real life. Also way more deadly probably.

This is for young ones and they get a lot of things that will make them feel good. Main characters who are as young as they are (or similar age group). The robot thing is as straight as they come. And being "not funny" makes it even funnier. I would also say that you can tell where the movie is heading. No points for guessing that right then.... light movie for those interested.

Yes, it could have been better. It could have been a lot better with the same budget, same cast, same visuals, and just a teeny-weeny bit of less wooden acting. But to be fair and square, the high-budget films based on overhyped Philip Pullman's books were much, much worse. This is TV-series level acting in a feature film. But in the times of never-ending Marvel spin-offs it feels a welcome attempt to create something original.

Het is een "goed zo". Keep up good work.

Rare do you find European flicks where youth are portrayed with empathy and a sense of realism. This refreshing movie is no masterpiece for sure but it does entertain and even educate. I found it charming even at my advanced age. Acting is real, the writing fine and the direction decent. Worth a look.

Level of acting is poor and childish.

People are so inexpressible or maybe it's just me not used to Dutch productions.

Dialogs are pathetic at the best.
