Okay. Much to comprehend. I slept on it one night. And this is what I can say: I only saw the first trailer when it came out and I was thrilled. It was such an amazing looking world. Great VFX, great acting and a great plot. So of course I had high expectations and, guess what, they were fully met. Gareth Edwards did a fantastic job in my opinion. The plot was so serious, so sad, so funny and so much more. Truly an emotional roller coaster. The acting performance of John David Washington was amazing. It felt so real. It felt like I was really there. The dialogue was written in a good way. It was very funny at some points for example, while not being silly. Coming to the visiual languange. What can I say? It was amazing. The VFX was on point. Not a single time where I said: "Hey, that kinda looks fake!". And you often can say that when it comes to these kind of Sci-Fi movies with a lot of VFX work. The cinematography was stunning. The shots were presented so well. The soundtrack you may ask? What do you expect? It's Hans Zimmer. If you know me I worship him. His work is always the best. And he did not disappoint. There were so many amazing song pics I really enjoyed. Suite Bergamasque especially stood out to me. It was although it's of course an "old" song it fitted so well into this futuristic world. Overall it is an one-of-a-kind Sci-Fi movie. Of course there are many Sci-Fi movies that deal with AI/robots but this one is exeptionally good. One thing: If you ask me this movie isn't talked about enough, I mean in comparison to Oppenheimer and Barbie for example. I do not understand why. I liked this one even more that Barbie in dispite of me enjoying Barbie extremly. It just deserves more attention in my opinion.
My personal rating: -Plot (Story Arc and Plausibility): 8.5/10 -Attraction (Premise & Entertainment Value): 8.5/10 -Theme (Identity & Depth): 8/10 -Acting (Characters & Performance): 9/10 -Dialogue (Storytelling & Context): 7/10 -Cinematography (Visual Language & Lighting, Setting, and Wardrobe): 9.5/10 -Editing (Pace & Effects): 9.5/10 -Soundtrack (Sound Design & Film Score): 9/10 -Directing (Vision & Execution): 8/10 -The “It” Factor (One-of-a-Kind & Transcendent): 8/10
Overall: 9/10 || 85/100 (I decided to give the 9 out of 10 points)
