Didnt touch this movie for quite a time, cause i had false expectations of the film.. i thought it´s going to be a stressy, rush with lots of quick cuts, handy cam style movie where he gets chased nonstop etc..

but this movie is really not bad, i would even say its really good! was really surprised in a positive way.

the story got me right from the beginning, as well as the characters. multiple strings attached to one man which appears to be Adam Sandler who plays his role absolutely brilliant in my opinion.

shady half wrecked jewish juwellery dealer who gets himself into trouble over moeny and his gambling habbit.

the movie has its slow moments as well as his fast but i never felt i was rushed through it or giving to much input / stress. No it flows very well and keeps us on our toes.

another great thing in my eyes was the music. some find it not fitting but i think it was perfect for certain scenes and it underlined the atmosphere/mood perfectly.

they play with the audience even there´s not something of a real twist to the story, but i found myself couple of times guessing the wrong and was happy that i was wrong.

i may watch it another time soon and can just recommend it! great movie, great Adam Sandler, great Soundtrack, great ending!

Diseres, longings, fears, hopes, love, drama..is timeless and well converted into this movie. c´est la vie.. and its presented in a very human and honest way..one could even say "simple" but isnt life very simple? tho we make it complex in every possible moment.. holding your dear love in your arms, what else do you need? riding your bicycle downhill on a sunny day in your shorts, smelling the rich and aromatic flavours of nature carried by the wind..what else do you need?

sometimes the sky is blue, the water is wet and i really like your eyes. sometimes the truth is very easy and this movie understands it in a very human and real way to transport the message.

characters are melancholic but still understand the joy of life by not giving up, and there´s even humor in its sadness time to time.

sure, the times were different and people had more roughness in their lifes.. people live and people die, thats life.

and everybody understands what love is and when seeing joy of other people, they grant them their happiness, even they´re strangers.

but some people just have got ambitous vanity and wont grant other people happiness.

i really liked this movie

I´ve to admit, i never watched any star trek series when it was released back in the days.. now 20years later and thanks to netflix and such, i was curious about star trek.. i watched them all in chronological order..(except TOS) next gen was just amazing..picard and his crew with unique characters amazed me. so i was already boosted and ready to take on the star trek journey.

deep space nine compared to next gen was a bit clunky and sisko as a captain was so wooden..never warmed up with him..

voyager, finally fresh air and a moving space ship..janeway was good and the storyline satisfied me as well..

after voyager i was a bit afraid to start with enterprise cause all my friends who were a bit star trek "fans" since the beginning, reacted to me like "hmm well...yeah.. you know...hmm" while asking them about enterprise and archer..

you ask them about next gen you get a "wooow the best! watch it!"

you ask them about deep space nine "yeah also nice not as good as next gen obviously but yeah go watch it its nice!"

you ask them about voyager you get "nice story man! abandoned unexplored space, so far away from home! but yeh..female captain and chekotay as 1.commander..hmm but still great!"

and then comes this "hmm well..enterprise..hmm..archer..hmm...yeh it also has only 4seasons..you know why..but yeah..you can watch it if u like"..

i still did..and the beginning was hard..i was pampered with the nice/luxury style look of the series before.. even the suits looked to me like some amateur b-movie stuff..

i have to admit, it was really hard for me to sympathize with the crew and settings..

but i stayed strong and i am so happy about it! Archer is after Picard my 2nd favorite star trek captain and the imagination of the first human farout space ship technology and crew. everything is more industrial, more rough and tough..no shiny white luxury liner space ship from future series..

the series is totally worth to be watched and i cant understand why people say Archer was the worst captain.. i would place the serious right after next gen and way before ds9..

this deserves more recognition! a great crew with a great captain on a great mission! 9/10 for me
