Well the movie It's not that bad, in fact It's entertaining, but even thought you can find good actors (not necessarily good performance) and art direction I didn't feel the plot fill what you think the mythology has to achieve, in the end too predictable.

I believe they thought about getting back the franchise and make more sequels, so they said "Let's not do something that good in this one so that we can produce three more and make more money"

And on the other hand having watched the unfortunately cancelled The Sarah Connor chronicles, You see the difference between an interesting and well developed story arc and a poor one, it's really a shame this show wasn't renewed, and had a short life because it really was taking the story to a direction worth to see it, and not just any action movie repeating it self over and over.

Anyway if you are fan you got to see this one and make your own conclusions, I guess It could be worst, but I don't feel like seeing more, only if they take back The Sarah Connor chronicles someday.

I wanted to see this movie long time a go and recently I finally could. The movie is about Elle editor Jean-Dominique who suffers a stroke and gets almost completely paralyzed.

The way the movie is conceived is what makes it special. You perceived many things from the perspective of the main character which involved us in to his circumstances and new life, and also in to his fight to overcome this state.

We are able to understand what he thinks and his feelings without feeling sorry for him or for this kind of situation, we also have some knowledge about how he was before this incident due to some flash back that complements the present story.

In other hands this could have been a manipulated drama, but fortunately this is not the case. The movie has a good balance between story, acting, beautiful images (and girls) and even some humor.

I just can say that it worths the trouble to see this one, is not a common film and you surely will enjoy it.

I wanted to see this film because several years ago I saw a movie from the same director also starring Maggie Cheung called Irma Vep which I really enjoyed.

This is a drama that in other hands could have been really corny or cliché but fortunately is well conceived and performed. The movie has simple but nice locations, and a special color sense.

Maggie Cheung, Nick Nolte and the rest of the main characters are believable and in my opinion the story never gets boring.

The music is a major point that transmits most of the time the spirit of the movie, which is in some moments hard, even melancholic but in the end full of hope.
