Transformers 2: Revenge Of The Fallen

I guess that I’ll just get to the point: this is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. While watching it I couldn’t think of anything that bad… There is a lot of bad movies in the world but even the unforgettable Independence Day look better compared to this “piece of art” (not much better, just a little bit).

What we got here… The whole pack of huge robots shooting to everyone and everything, another huge pack of robots chasing some humans, humans chasing huge packs of robots… And that’s it – the story is not deeper than a puddle. But this is not the worse thing – story in the first part of this movie was also shallow but made some sense. Here logic have gone on a vacation – and is not getting back until the end of the movie. There are so many illogical events that it is hard to name them all. And the main plot is just so stupid (sorry for using that word, I think that it is still not very offensive comparing to my thoughts after watching the movie) that only people who have no requirements could enjoy it. If I was still 10 years old boy, I would probably love the movie because it is full of shining robots, amazing special effects and not-very-funny jokes.

The only thing that made me stay in the cinema until the end was the money i spend to see this movie…

The summarizing: worst movie of the year, huge blockbuster and financial success. Sometimes I wonder how this facts speak for our society. We want to see stupid things? We don’t like logical plots and interesting scripts? We like to see everything burning, exploding and flying around? Maybe. I know that I’m a little bit cruel here – but this movie fully deserved this.

Blade Runner

Blade Runner is a strange movie in many ways. It never made financial success and the critics were at first very skeptic to this vision of future presented by Ridley Scott. Was that just a misunderstanding, or maybe leak of marketing efforts? For sure cutting the film without director’s knowledge was not very good idea, and that move was repaired after the director’s cut release in2006 (the original movie is from 1982!).

Let’s focus on the director’s point of view. The movie still has this magic that I felt while watching it for the first time. The world is dark and complete, heroes are played great (Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer were just brilliant here). But great acting is just one of elements that made this movie a legend. The whole composition of showing the world, the talks, action starting slowly and brilliant Vangelis music gives this movie some spirit that wants you to watch it all over again and again.

The story is focused on blade runner’s (Harrison Ford) chase after replicant fugitives. He is in a special police unit that is supposed to hunt and kill all replicants that come to earth. A replicant is a kind of artificial human being, made to do the most dangerous and extreme jobs in space. Those replicants are not allowed to come to Earth. But sometimes some of them does. Every replicant has safety catch – they can live only four years. Leader of the small group (Rutger Hauer) wants to visit their creator and force him to make their life longer.

It is not just another action movie. It is full of philosophical reflections about humanity, slavery and justice. What makes you a human? What does it mean to be a human? What makes you think that if you are a human you should have bigger and better rights? This movie is actual and it will be for a long time. Those questions are just few that comes in mind while watching.
