Amazing cinematographic experience with brilliant performances

Rating: 8/10 (29 October 2018)

Disclaimer: I am huge fan of Queen and was fortunate enough to see this film in 4D.
To those wary about whether or not to see a movie about Queen - this is not a documentary or even a docu-drama. This is a movie about one of the most iconic bands of all time, which had probably the most chatismatic lead singer of all time. In itself, this is enough ingridients to make a good movie.
This film however goes beyond that in my perspective for two reasons.
Firstly the experience it provides. The portrayal of the concerts (especially the last one shown) truly succeed in making you feel like you are watching the concert live, and you just happen to be in the most coveted place to watch it from of all - the stage.
This is achieved due to very good filmaking and edits and I think it is safe to say that it is hard to pull off an experience closer to what it must have been to be there live at the time.
Second reason I think this movie goes a notch above what simply a good script would do for you is because of its brilliant casting and acting. Rami Malek is stellar in a very difficult role and he is able to express all the intricancies and challenges of being a bisexual global music star. But equally the roles of the remaining members of the band and long time band manager are very well portrayed.
Of course, I mentioned beforehand this movie was amazing for movie specially because of how much I like the band but also because I was able to view it in 4D which really adds to the experience as it makes you feel as a close-up fan or even member of Queen's entourage.
Really worth viewing, specially in the Cinema if you can.
