A man is kidnapped and held for reasons he’s never told, only to be let out to be confused alongside this movie’s viewers.

I want to like this, I really do, but it makes no damned sense.

The telling of the story of one Roman soldier’s struggle for survival at the far front lines.

An excellent movie on all fronts. Highly recommended for fans of this genre.

A man is conscripted into the military and alien goo forces him into a suicidal time loop.

A watchable waste of time.

A woman is abducted for a mind-control experiment. Hilarity ensues.

This is not “experimental science fiction”. This is outright horror.

I think I’ve seen this before, but blocked it out of my memory.

A woman is pulled back into a life of crime, only to learn that what she helped steal has other interested parties.

A mediocre movie which just feels off and awkward. Definitely not recommended.

Olga Kurylenko is either an absolutely awful actor, or playing an absolutely awful character, or maybe both. Probably both.

Do not watch this! Instead watch the fan edit Star Wars Episode I.II – The Phantom Edit – (2000 movie). Even at its much lower quality it’s head and shoulders above this movie.

It should be summarized as: A noble kingdom is taken by force, forcing a prince to flee and live a life that turns to adventure, to later return to contest for the throne.

However. However it’s all over the place. It doesn’t properly delve into any aspect, and doesn’t properly string things together. It has all the elements of a good, or at least fair, movie, but it wasn’t written well.

A science guy has a thing for eyes.

Has one long mellow semi-suspenseful tone, but doesn’t take full advantage of its opportunities. It grows weaker and weaker as it drones on, and barely pretends to have a reasonable resolution.

Something about a crime and lawyers and a court and stuff, but with racism.

Not my thing.

Beautiful Prison - (2016 movie) image

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2484254/

This is the sort of movie that I can’t explain without spoiling it.

It ought to be started at 17:10 with zero introduction.

The fact that I can write that with confidence should speak loudly as to its quality. It doesn’t have enough “content”, and so it feels drawn out. If you are passionate about reality-questioning movies, then for sure see this. Otherwise, pass.
