Advance technology only.

Rating: 3/10 (18 October 2017)

I much prefer the first one. I found this one is like an imposture. It pretends to be seriously good. The camera stopping for a long time on the eyes of the characters is an effort to look as intense as in Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Western but there, it bored me because the characters don't have any consistency; they are there, making considerable efforts to look in trouble, to suffer, etc... The violence is complaisant, like adding some salt to a bland dish. The tech with its special effect is, of course, prodigious. It is a film for young people who enjoy video games, but like video games, it doesn't leave a strong impression or questions. I'll remember it as a performance of an advance technology.
It is certainly NOT a masterpiece! The masterpiece is Kubrick's Odyssey 2001: a film with everything,the technical prowess, the metaphysical questions that everybody can understand and, as a whole, unforgettable.
I won't spoil this review by telling you the end, I don't remember it!!!
