Hello Beasty

Rating: 9/10 (11 May 2014)

Finally, here it is ! The most anticipated movie of the summer had a few premieres around the world, and I had the chance to assist to one of them : well, I was not disappointed. If you want to live a great movie experience, go see it in a good theater, large screen and good sound : you'll be astonished.
Indeed, CGI & sound effects are truly amazing, and "massive" (that is the good word), and no one will argue on that. Furthermore, all these shots featuring visual and sound effects are very well done by Gareth Edwards, when he seems to know how to suggest the presence of the beast and let your imagination be touched rather than putting it in the middle of the screen without any sense of perspective during the entire movie : yes, some will complain about his screen time, because they expected to see Pacific Rim, but no, it is never like it !
Edwards had the opportunity to put in place his own directing, and even though some parts of the movie are slowing it down (thinking about classic blockbusters scenes introducing a conventional plot or military quarters scenes), the movie remains original, fresh, epic, even if humans are not really our heroes on this one...
