Not What I Expected

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2018)

I went expecting to see a tacky sci-fi. This film is neither. It is absolutely epic. The acting is so good it makes an unbelievable situation believable and emotionally captivating. I came to absolutely love the heroes and hate the villains. The ending is a surprise so I will not spoil it but it is beautiful. The trailers for this film do not
and could not do it justice. This is not a film you can adequately show off or sample in sound bites. It is a film you must watch from start to end and it just keeps getting deeper and better right up to the time when the credits roll. Not a frame of this film is wasted, every millisecond is an important and integral part pf the story. Sally Hawkins is stunning in this role and it is a role that only a very excellent actress could have made believable and she did so superbly. Everything really had to come together from the story to the scripting to the casting, acting, and directing for this to work a it does. This film will remain a favorite of mine for a very long time.
