SPLASH

Rating: 4/10 (27 January 2018)

Remember that silly movie that put Daryl Hannah on the map? Swap the mermaid for fishead and we have a modern version of a 30 year old Tom Hanks movie. Visually this was an interesting movie, but the story went awry when fishead and mute girl float into a dancing delight in black and white. The end is all too predictable and the romance didn't grab me. Fishead does have some cool facial features and expressions, but this is not enough too redeem the last 45 minutes of the film. I know it's a fantasy and I'll not nitpick all the impossibilities of this movie. The bottom line is that here was so much more potential with this story.
