Invasion

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.

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.

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.

So.. apparently the director also was a part of 'Mocro Maffia' and 'The Golden Hour'.

It does not show.

The movie is illogical (I can see past factual inaccuracies or mildly unbelievable scenarios because after all this is fiction) to a point that I took my phone out halfway to enjoy myself another way.

Acting is okayish, not good, not cringeworthy bad.

SFX is okayish, not good, not bad.

The story is.. OK.

If you have absolutely nothing else to do and you get to watch this movie for free.. go in with low expectations and you might get some entertainment value out of it.

Dont expect it to be near the level of 'Mocro Maffia' and/or 'The Golden Hour' though.

A good story, not bad. There's one thing It annoyed me about the movie. The score/sound was too loud. You could hardly hear conversation in between. It's the same problem I have with the series FBI by Dick Wolf. The score is too loud.

It's great that, good for the entity, Could use the real navy and it brings in another perspective and maybe there is a sort of truth in the story because it's very close to the mainland of Venezuela.

This movie could be an idea of making a series out of it won't be that bad. But then again, it's spoken in Dutch so I don't think you can sell it International. But Bobbie did a great thing.
