What a movie....because I'm old and lived through these years, it gets to my nostalgia. I did not really frequent the club, but did celebrate one New Year's eve there...and later on, my fraternity ('studentenclub' - more girls than boys haha, but didn't know how to put that in English) had quite some parties there (with women swimming in the tank - luckily we had 2 sisters doing synch swimming competively)). The overall feeling for the scenes inside the club are spot on....back then it was awesome...and the movie portraits that very well - moving stages, light shows, it was awesome.

Acting is perfect imho...of course I never met Frank so I cannot judge...I did encounter Dennis a few times...especially when he got refused from the club I worked back then.

All in all...great movie with great acting...but...do I find this movie great purely because I've been there and watched the glory Zillion was....or because it's a great movie? Bit of both I think....at least the score is AWESOME!!

Edit: Brigitta Callens (Charlotte in the movie) was not the girl to set up stuff like that...Brigitta used to frequent the club I worked in without having Frank spying on her....but then again, what does the floor ppl know what's really going on behind the scenes...

Being Belgian, I had received several notifications about 'Knokke off' (original title) so I ultimately decided to give it a shot with ep1.

I was thoroughly surprised...good acting, good camera work and a nice story based more or less on real life (it is well known here in Belgium the seaside city of 'Knokke' indeed has many rich posh people).

So yea, I binged the show in 2 evenings....it is well written (thanks to Luc Wyns), good character.development.

I did not like the last episode as everything got a bit too rushed....and apparently a semi-open ending (which I hate) is popular nowadays.

The first Avatar was also the first movie I watched in 3D....at that time it was quite underwhelming, the colours were faded.... I enjoyed it more watching it at home. That being said, not only did I find the sequel much more involving with a better story (ok, some times you do need to shut off your brain and just sit in awe of the pictures presented to you)....and watching it in Imax 3D combined with HFR (High Frame Rate) it was a spectacle....the fast moving characters are not flawless yet....but in the whole it was an experience compared to my first 4DX movie....but naturally on another gradient of enjoyment....while (eg) Top Gun was great for a 4DX experience (getting air in your seat was awesome), this was perfect in Imax 3D.... My buddy almost forced me to go, while I did not see the point...but boy, do I see the point now!
