High Life (2018)
3/10
Absolutely unwatchable
13 June 2022
I sat through the entire movie expecting something really interesting happening, but instead I was served with boredom, lengthy and empty scenes with illogical and banal banter, only filled with some brutality sporadically happening (something we can see in the news as well, no need for a movie then).

If this is the future trend of science fiction movies I am afraid the film makers will loose loads of aficionados of the genre along the way and production companies will loose tons of money.

It is not even a "cerebral" movie, since the plot can be guessed from the start and therefore it looses out even on that.

The actors and actresses all seem somewhat lethargic and I have seen much better acting in my life than this academic attempt at playing their roles.

I really cannot, in all conscience, recommend this piece of crap, which I wouldn't even call a movie, since there is seldom something really moving - except for the occasional and already mentioned brutality scenes -.

Science Fiction to me has another color, another taste and another style and this is really not it.

This one can easily be forgotten and should be shelved forever in a vault as a memento on how not to film a movie.
