Brilliant and touching
Best movie of this year hands down!
Absolutely amazing
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
View MoreThis film really surprised me. I walked in expecting it to be 50% horror and 50% romance. Instead, I got a movie that was 90% romance, 5% comedy, and 5% horror. And to be honest, I didn't care. I really liked this movie.The chemistry between the two leads (played by Lou Taylor Pucci and Nadia Hilker) felt so natural. Their performances were both great, and I really bought their relationship. In a film like this, the lead performances should ultimately make you care about their relationship, and "Spring" absolutely succeeds at that front.Also, I did like the scenes that did involve horror. Despite there not being that many, the ones that were there were extremely good.The comedy in the movie actually felt extremely natural. This film implemented a good amount of comedy that didn't feel forced or out of place.Finally, this film gave me an ending that I didn't expect. I won't say what happens, but you should watch it. It's great.However, I do have one gripe about this film. There is a scene in the film where a lot of exposition is being given to another character. I do like knowing what's happening, but this expository scene just didn't sit well with me. Other than that, this movie was kinda great.
View MoreSome okay cgi and pretty scenery. The acting and story was better than Resolution. Although that isn't saying much. Everything else was just drugs and unbelievable moments. I can't believe all the positive reviews. It's like a twenty something man- boy drug addict had a anime-related tentacle poem dream and thought, "I'm going to make a movie about that!" There is some attempt at making it "smart" with all the science garbage but it just doesn't come together.
View MoreThe better points of SPRING are very good, particularly the camera work and the dialog. Unfamiliar with these actors but they did an excellent job. The makers of this film are far more deserving of being granted a big budget than the makers of much of the comic book sci-fi in the megaplexes today. Problems emerge with the contrast between the budget and the need to introduce more convincing visual effects regarding the "transformations" , i.e., the supernatural aspects of the story. Indeed, the romance and intrigue aspects of the film would have been more compelling if the genre had NOT been sci-fi but; e.g., espionage or crime. Good idea to use the old Italian farmer as balance. Not so good an idea to "throw in" the Pompeii footage for filler (or did I miss plot points?). But, hey, I finished watching it - sure sign of a victory in today's age of streaming video.
View MoreI seriously do not understand why this film received such great reviews. I knew absolutely nothing about it other than the fact that it had received some accolades and so went in cold. I was expecting the film to go in one direction, then it veered off....another direction, then it veered off again.....and then by the end I felt like i was watching some kind of rom-com-horror mashup. The humor was misplaced, the calmness of the main character when confronted with something that would make any normal person at least hyperventilate was completely unrealistic, and not once during the entire film did i feel even the slightest thrumming of my pulse. It was pointless eye candy and could hardly be called "original". If this is considered original then this tells me all I need to know about the power of mass opinion. It is much ado about nothing.
