This one tries to recapture the magic of the original but falls flat. The story is predictable, relying too much on familiar themes without adding anything new. Instead of feeling like a fresh take, it comes across as a weaker copy of its predecessor.
The performances are uneven, with some actors lacking the intensity needed for their roles. Even strong moments from a few cast members aren't enough to lift the film. The emotional depth that made the first movie so powerful is missing, replaced by forced drama and exaggerated action.
With heavy CGI and moments that feel more like a parody than an epic, this sequel struggles to justify its existence. It may entertain some, but it doesn't come close to the original.

"I'm Still Here" is one of those rare films that lingers long after the credits roll. A deeply moving and visually stunning experience, the film is anchored by an outstanding lead performance, breathtaking cinematography, and a cast that feels like a real family.
First and foremost, Fernanda Torres delivers a powerhouse performance. She embodies resilience and vulnerability in equal measure, carrying the film with a quiet yet unshakable strength. Even in the face of the directorship, Torres brings warmth and determination, making every moment resonate with authenticity. Her portrayal is nothing short of mesmerizing.
The cinematography is a feast for the senses. Every shot is meticulously composed, with vibrant colors and intricate details that enrich the storytelling. It's not just about what is said-the way each frame is constructed adds layers of meaning, making the visual language just as powerful as the script itself. This level of craftsmanship makes the film feel immersive and emotionally charged.
Finally, the ensemble cast brings an undeniable realism to the story. The family dynamics feel organic, from the playful yet complex relationships between siblings to the raw struggles of parenthood and love. The children and teenagers, in particular, deliver performances that perfectly capture the nuances of growing up in a challenging environment. There's no forced drama-just genuine, lived-in portrayals that make their struggles and joys deeply relatable.
This film is a testament to the power of cinema to move, challenge, and inspire. With its stellar acting, visual brilliance, and deeply human storytelling, it's a must-watch.

I think of movies as an art form that evokes emotions in us, homo sapiens. Interstellar is one of those rare pieces of art that stirs the deepest, unexplainable feelings about what it means to be alive-aware of our temporary existence yet capable of imagining beyond time, into the infinite. Its exploration of love, sacrifice, and the unknown feels profoundly human, connecting us to something greater. The visuals are breathtaking, the score is hauntingly beautiful, and the story resonates on an emotional and philosophical level. This movie made me cry, not just for its sadness, but for its sheer, overwhelming beauty.
