Telenovela in space

Rating: 2/10 (19 December 2017)

I was wondering how they are going to pull off that first attempt. What options did they have? Well, you can always turn to mambo-jumbo surprises akin to a telenovela, where simply anything is possible.
In the original trilogy, the story is surprising but it is coherent. Here, there are so many things happening accidentally related to each other that you can only enjoy it the same way as a firework. Logic, moral, motivation is there just to fill in the next gap between two effects.
This way you can make a movie with just anything. There are so much talking and explaining each particular situation of why it is working or not, that it sounds more like some pumped up version of Star Trek series but with couple of episodes combined.
Why, who, where, when is explained in whatever you like way. You could equally speak any foreign language in these segments and it would have more sense, because you could imagine that they are speaking something meaningful at least.
Why? Because it is impossible to create endless stream of these episodes and not falling into bad comics where the story is not very interested since the drawing is spectacular.
It simply cannot be better than this in general sense if you really have lost every guidance. And indeed this is bad. Amusing? Probably for one watching.
I have to warn that some humor is so cheap that I do not understand who approved it. That type of humor belongs to Guardian of the Galaxy where it is naturally bind with characters and really has its tone set all along. This one when that tone appears, it is very much out of the context.
I did not expect much. I got exactly that. I am really sorry to see that all these effects are spent for nothing, Well I watched a few telenovelas and I enjoyed some of them, for acting, emotions, music, costumes. Here it is music that is not going to help because you have to do a lobotomy before hearing anything and costumes that are... well already seen.
The elements that are similar to the second and third installments of Matrix are shockingly badly executed. The resolution of that part of the story is abominable. You see, the entire movie they are failing and failing and failing whatever they try, but they all still believe that somehow it will be good in the end. It was not.
It was stupid, and it is really bad that the legend has been abused in this manner.
I wonder if I will have to keep looking into all this developing mess each year, which is obviously what these all installments are until I forget that there was initially something worth watching and thinking about. Completely forget.
I really feel bad that someone is going to watch any of these first and then judge first three original episodes that way. That is not fair. That is really a historical injustice. Yet we are its witness. Soon, nobody is going to care about difference, it will be all the same.
Well, for me it'll never be that way. There is art and there is a crap. This is the later.
