Titanic for imbeciles

Rating: 3/10 (22 February 2017)

I'm sorry for being so blunt in my summary, but those that defends the science in this movie, calling it realistic, have absolutely no idea what so ever what they are talking about.
The makers of this film have the balls to "keep it real" by only traveling at half the speed of light, yet have a human survive a nuclear fusion blast which is at a minimum of thousands of degrees Celsius. I could probably list hundreds more of these examples, my point is, this movie is hypocritical.
If the argument was: But this is sci-fi, anything can happen.
Well in this case using a rotating space craft for gravity and flying at "only" half the speed of light, makes absolutely no sense. Why use real science and at the same time break all the rules? I do know the answer of course. It gives them the chance to show off some fancy CGI, which is exactly what they did. To bad the CGI in this film was mediocre at best, and even if it had been award winning material, the rest of the film falls flat, making it a shipwreck in space.
There is a saying in the movie business: A director is never better than his last film.
This is going to be rough on Morten Tyldum for sure. I loved his Norwegian film "hodejegerne/headhunters" and his next film "The imitation game". Both are good movies and the world opened up to Tyldum. I saw interviews of him, i read about him, and he has several times stated he wants to tell good stories, he is not going to let himself sell out for the big studios just to make blockbusters.
Well, he did....
This movie has nothing going for it, it is a boring, slow paced, stupid, bad acted, overpriced, silly meaningless film which seem to have focused on making 12 year old girls sappy instead of actually create a film that can appeal to everyone, and not treat the older audience with a brain like morons.
Titanic is a opposite to this, James Cameron might have just had a basic love story at it's core, but it is his attention to details, building of characters, revolutionary vision in effects and so on that makes Titanic a movie that stands out and appeals to all ages, and he does not use cheap tricks just to show off.
And this acting. 30 million dollars worth. You got to be kidding me.
Jennifer is payed 20 million + 30% of the profits. Chris is payed 10 million.
And this is the performances they deliver? Holy lord almighty, Hollywood is going down the drain. These actors have given so many memorable performances before, maybe not Oscar worthy, but still, pretty good performances. And when they get this amount of money, they seem to not care, it's like they don't believe in the film.
Which is where i'm back at. I did hear about the troubles behind the scenes, Tyldum and Pratt had a lot of problems with each other on the set. And the movie suffers from things like this.
I have to blame Tyldum for taking this job, he broke his promise and made a bad film. The story and scriptwriters are also to blame. I can't really blame the producers, they are suppose to make money, and they did, so good job to them. I payed to see the film as well, after reading almost only negative reviews in the press, so i guess i kinda knew what i was getting into, i just feel like warning others.
Well anyways, not much of a movie review I'm afraid, more like a movie bashing for it's obvious flaws.
3/10 - Bad
