Slow, boring, the after life just lacks budget, who figure it?
The premise is clear and wonderful: after life you just can choose a memory and only one memory to relieve it that moment. Despite the great premise, the movie goes downwards. There are a lot of people who enjoy this film, just because they seems to think that where the film is slow is deep, and where non-actors appear the movie is authentic, but when you think in all the possibilities that the premise gives and you watch this, I mean... this boring after life that want to recreate the memory, but it doesn't have any magic at their disposal, just the props of the film directos in the 80'... Is just boring.
As many others I used to love this movies. I really do. But everything in this one is poor. I'am amazed at the high rates, I try to understand the arguments or the perspectives and I coudn't find any good support whatsoever. You may regard this in many artistic expressions, the ordinary, the plain, the simple, sometimes pass for the poetry of the day to day. This movie is just plain dull, that's it, you must not go further. The movie try to show us the difficulties of love in the 40, but they succeed only in the boring and the routine; the try to enchant us with Greece, but they didn't miss a single opportunity of the common image cliché; they want to show us how the beauty can't withstand the harshness of the routine, but in doing this they ruin the beauty, they ruin the wit, the love, the affinities, and they transform the harshness in pure stupidity. This movie is just a failure.
It's rare to find a movie so bad that you can't find anything good in it, Oblivion is that case, even for a pop corn movie. The music comes from the worst movie tree decades ago; the acting is way terrible. This movie is like Star Wars, like I am legend, like Kubrik's Space, like Walle but without the good things: dumb, at every second; dull, at every image; stupid in every dialogue. It doesn't have any sense whatsoever: think in the most powerful machine, a machine whose radar can detect anything, even lies too, but no bombs. Boring, senseless, predictable, is just a manual of how to waste everything. Watch it, please do it, you will realized that your time is so precious that is just unfair to waste it in crap like this.
