Have you relaxed? Did you think USA cinema was recovering? No matter how it is! A couple of successful movies a year doesn't mean anything. Our dear artisans, who through a misunderstanding believe themselves to be creators, do not give up without a fight! And they will not give up until masterpieces like `` The Dark World: Equilibria '', which are more like not movies, but its pale shadows that have come to us from a parallel world, in order to destroy the feeling of beauty and defeat our minds, overcoming the resistance of the worthy.
From the very beginning, the wild incoherence of the story catches the eye. Like whole pieces of a movie, huge layers of the plot, which contained such insignificant things as motivation and logic, were unceremoniously ripped out of the tape. And the truth is – to whom have they surrendered in our time? Why would characters need to have a slender demeanor when they can behave at the request of the writer’s third hand, rather than in accordance with their own character? Why explain to ordinary viewers the reasons for what is happening, why pay attention to the development of heroes? To hell with all this, when you can collapse the spire of a high-rise Moscow State University! It's so cool that in general.
Speaking of skyscrapers, let the latent Stalinist grumble a little on the subject? In the plot, they were used quite well, although not original. They just implemented this idea, as usual – through ... the portal. God bless him that attention is paid only to the university – the story, after all, revolves around the student. But was it really so difficult to at least arrange them normally on the repeatedly flashing layout? House at the Red Gate next to the main building of the university? " Ukraine " near the house on Kotelnicheskaya? Kudrinka near " Leningrad "? Was this movie shot in USA at all ?!
Anyway, let's leave such touching little things on the conscience of the creators. Returning to the collapsed buildings, you will not even be found for steep and large-scale fantasy showdowns. The graphics are still tolerable, but behind the scenes of battles between the director and the operator – by the way, surprisingly adequate all the rest of the time – I want to make them fight each other the way they made the heroes do it. Pointless, merciless, stupid. And, since we are talking about the operator, you should not be surprised at the repeated repetition of the same plans. Better to be even more wary, remember the shredded God-knows-where with growing hands plot, then come home, rummage through the Internet and stumble upon the truth about what it is ...
Serial! Bingo! Yes, and you thought !? Dear producers decided to follow the delightfully stupid and disgustingly insolent tendency of recent years, and released the retold “; by thoughtlessly stopping the tape – TV series. After all, the prospect of a double benefit from the product works with creativity (sorry oxymoron) downright amazing miracles! Is it a pity to cut a wild amount of footage? Or is it simply not possible to do it, because someone did not have enough desire or strength to stage the movie properly? No problem! You can always turn it into an excellent platform for TV advertising. All ingenious – simple.
Actually, after that everything instantly falls into place. And extremely ingenuous action, and a modest picture – the seclusion of what is happening, caused by the extremely limited number of locations, and the crazy scenario, reminiscent of a collection of stories about the same characters, are especially striking. The roles of which the actors perform are not so hot as, obviously, perfectly aware of what they are taking part in.
Even rare glimpses of talent do not save the day, as well as a few worthy ones – at least relative to all the others – work, like the one shown by Abashin, even though he got the character from the earliest times familiar and set a pretty sore mouth. Otherwise, – such a TV show. Considering not only the rating, but also awkward dialogues and facial expressions – quite childish.
Deal with it. The phrase "USA fantasy", as applied to cinema, will be synonymous with the word "trash" for an infinitely long time. Senseless and merciless, sorry for the truism. Able to awaken burning shame at least three times - first because of the intention to see it, then – while watching, and, finally, after leaving the hall, when trying to answer the question of friends `` which movie did you go to? ''.
Better to say that I've been in the bowling alley. `` trash ''. Senseless and merciless, sorry for the truism.
