Genesis 2.0 (2018)
director lost focus
The movie shifts from documenting the conditions of Siberian workers, the science of cloning mammoths, and the ethics of cloning. Sadly he only touches very superficial on all three points, and the movie uses too much time flattering pseudo-scientists.
At least it woke my sympathy for the Siberian tusk hunters.
Tau (2018)
This is so stupid!
Why would an AI developer create AI and not want it to behave independent?
OMG that's stupid. So many details in the story are just plain stupid once you think about it.
The Divide (2011)
This movie keeps you thinking for weeks
The whole post-apocalyptic genre has been overused, and you rarely see something new in this kind of movies. I claim that this movie adds a whole new level to the genre, and hasn't been based on the same script as many other movies has.
If you only want to watch splatter and skin, screw you. This is for people who care more about the feelings a movie express.
This movie has so many symbolic levels, and small hidden political meanings and messages. Many small details has been put in, to leave the attentive watcher wondering "what the ...?". Questions like "Who bombed USA?" and "why would that person do that?" are the most simple questions in this film, but still takes a lot of thinking to make out.
The characters is very realistic, and due to the way Xavier Gens has directed the movie, the characters goes through a BIG transformation. There's no sexy stupid blondes who wander around topless throughout the movie, screaming - it's not a teen movie!
I saw this movie alone with high level of sound, and this movie sucked me in completely. The very sensitive soundtrack keeps the edge of tension, as the plot twists and turns, and in no way follows the mainstream story lines. The next day i had to show it to my wife. Now, after a few weeks, i still wanna watch it again, and pay more attention to small details that makes you wonder.
This movie is highly recommendable (not for the faint-hearted though)! It will change your way of thinking!
