Saw 2 movies over the weekend Love You Zindagi and Doctor Strange. LYZ was really, really good. Deals with a delicate subject and is presented very well. Alia Bhatt gives another performance of a lifetime. Really, I don't think she has a flaw as an actress. Udta Punjab, LYZ, Kapoor & Sons, she has hit it out of the park in every direction this year. And she's a delight in interviews. I can't remember 1 scene in LYZ without her in it and she has overshadowed SRK in their scenes together. Not many *female* actors in our cinema can do that.

 

Doctor Strange on the other hand.. the only good thing I can say about the movie is that it had trippy visuals. Marvel is not leaving their stance of making "goody goody school monitor-ish" films. The dialog is corny as sh*t and there is absolutely no character development over the course of the movie. Actually, scratch that. I wasn't even looking for progression; the characters, none of them were interesting in any way. This guy good. This guy bad. This guy idiot... etc. Even though I was nicely stoned (Thanks Walker) the preachiness was getting on my nerves ( :P)

Watched Arrival on Saturday. Must say I was well and truly blown away as was the missus. So glad and forced her to come with me. It also helped that I went in totally blind. The atmosphere was spot on as was the scoring.

 

That said it's definitely not for everyone. The theater was a quarter full when it ended quite a few looked like they had just been bamboozled.

Watch it and you'll agree.

I asked this as I wanted to figure out which people (in terms of movie tastes) I can watch this with so as to not disappoint anyone.

Oh

 

 

 

 

The movie is a very good non action packed one, heavy atmosphere, great acting, puzzles, tension and suspense. Don't go in expecting a typical alien movie and you and whoever you go with will enjoy it.

I guess it's for people who can appreciate a well made slow-burn movie.

Even then, the last act has the potential to throw some people off. I actually wouldn't have said all this if I hadn't myself seen a whole bunch of people walking out of the theater during the climax. I've also seen many negative reviews for the movie saying that it is too slow and boring :\

Also don't go in with huge expectations..you won't enjoy the movie at all that way!Some people in my theater were like ughh this movie received so much praise :doh:

 

I did and I still thought the movie was exceptional. But yeah, the experience may differ for others :P
