Classy, yet brutal

Rating: 10/10 (3 April 2015)

This is by far the best movie of 2014, and is(at least on my list) in the top 25. Actually, I'd place it before all the old Bond classics. Mostly because of the storyline, which is incredible, the acting is great and visuals astounding. Yet that is not the entire reason. I love the fact that they combine the classiness of a gentlemen spies(Bond-style), with the humor of the rebel youth.
As mentioned earlier, the acting is absolutely spot on. Honestly I think Colin Firth, known for the soap-musical "Mama Mia", would have been a better 007 than those who have tried before him. He act with such grace, and to say the least, class. He and his stuntman should probably be awarded with an Emmy.
Adrian Quinton were also spot on with his acting. He is really likable, and is easily the best guy for the role. He has this rebel-ish look about him, and he sure uses that to his advantage. He presents to the audience a lot of humor and fun, yet he manages to bring some tears out of you at some occasions. Again, SPOT ON ACTING!
The rest of the cast were either OK+ or good. However the super villain played by Samuel Jackson, needs a little bit more credit. His character will probably go down in history as one of the best villains ever. Both in form of character depth, but also the way Jackson played him.
The thing i like the most about this movie, is the fact that the villain's intentions aren't biblically wrong. Global warming is a threat towards the humans, and is also caused by them. Therefore, by playing god, and wiping out most of the human being, he actually manages to rationalize his actions. And he should be able to rationalize that, even if it is kind of cynical. Because he saves the humanity in a sense, doesn't he? At least one could see it from his point of view, and empathize with his mindset and way of thinking. This is actually proved through religion, in form of Noah. Therefore you have to ask yourself, is this ethical wrong? God did it.
Lastly, I want to recommend this movie to everyone, and hopefully you'll enjoy it as much as i did.
