Revolutionary,

Rating: 6/10 (22 May 2020)

I have a lot of mixed feelings about this movie.
First of all. I like food for thought and definitely this movie is a rich source of it. I really enjoy philosophical and existential questions, this movies raises them. It was an original, creative and most of all revolutionary representation of these questions adding a lot of value to the industry of cinema, specially to sci-fi genre. The photography is amazing for that time. But I have a problem, I am watching it in 2020 for the first time and I am not that young anymore... I like the space given for ourselves in this movie...i already found many ways to interpret it and many of them can even be interconnected...that's the best part of the movie...many nice philosophical theories. That is the genial part of the movie. The script of the second part (the only part with one in fact) is just very poor... I guess the acting does not help, but the takes are just not good...One can argue that it was on purpose to focus on the main idea of the movie...but for me it was a waste... The part of the machine slowly dying was a really bad scene... the dialogues in general were just so poor... I would almost have preferred an even slower and completely silent movie... (even though in my opinion that would cut some sense of the movie, because the voice is an important part of the second stage of men's evolution in this movie) I am just not satisfied. It's a genial idea, but under-performed. It deserved much more.
