A good movie

Back in 2004, there was not one but for 4 movies released which were entirely shot against blue screens. I have seen all of them : ‘Immortal (Ad Vitam)’, ‘ Casshern’ , ‘Sin City’ and this movie. Even though 10 years later, this process doesn’t sound really impressive, I thought it was quite fascinating back in those days and I watched all of them. Eventually, except for ‘Sin City’, none of those movies were successful, this movie was not an exception and Kerry Conran hasn’t direct another movie ever since. Personally, I really have a weak spot for this flick. Indeed, first of all, I thought it looked great and there was a pretty cool cast (Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, Giovanni Ribisi, Michael Gambon, Bai Ling) and they were all perfectly cast, even though back then, we were getting an overdosis of Jude Law who was pushed to become the next best thing. Unfortunately, I have to admit it, even though the plot was rather entertaining, it wasn’t really impressive and it was quite obvious that the makers were mostly focusing on the visual aspect. Still, I appreciated the fact that they tried to push the envelop and I thought it was a rather impressive experiment. To conclude, even though the whole thing was not entirely successful, I thought it was an intriguing feature and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in experimental movies.
