An average movie

Posted : 8 years, 1 month ago on 27 March 2016 06:16

In 2016, Alex Proyas finally released a new directing effort after 7 long years and many cancelled projects but, unfortunately, 'Gods of Egypt' turned out to be the first big flop of the year so I decided to skip it for a while and watch instead this very obscure directing debut. In fact, I thought for many years that the damned thing was impossible to find but I finally managed to find it on YouTube. Eventually, even though it was definitely not a masterpiece, it was still a decent watch and there were definitely some interesting elements. Basically, it was some kind of minimalist Mad Max feature with only 3 characters involved and no action scene whatsoever. What I enjoyed the most was the great use they made of the beautiful Australian landscape and I also enjoyed the mesmerizing soundtrack which was slightly repetitive though. Unfortunately, the  story was  really  basic and  I had a hard time to care about those 3 characters who were obviously supposed to be weird and quirky but they turned out to be actually rather obnoxious. Still, visually, it was most of the time pretty neat. To conclude, it was not bad at all and I think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you're interested in Alex Proyas's work.
