The Sea Beast (2022)
The Sea Beast - just one more movie
"In a world very similar to ours, huge sea monsters rule the seas, terrifying men. But fortunately, there are heroes who live in the sea to protect their people from such creatures, the brave hunters of monsters". It is the incipit of the latest Netflix original animated film directed by Oscar winner Chris Williams, a director already known and loved for films such as Oceania, Big Hero 6, and Bolt: a four-legged hero. The Monster of the Seas made its official debut on Netflix last July 8, reaching the high position of the Top 10 of the most watched on the platform in a few days.
While enjoying the director's Disney training, Monster of the Seas is a film as simple as it is moving which, with a more adult approach, intends to bring a fairytale story to the small screen where the struggle between men and monsters immediately launches the audience into the predictable doubt: Who is the real monster between sea creatures and human beings? Despite the excellent directorial and plot premises, The Sea Monster fails to excel or hit the spectator's heart, and this is due to the hasty pace, the poor development of the characters, and the lack of originality of the happy ending.
Don't Look Up (2021)
Don't Look Up - Could have been better.
Written and directed by Academy Award winner Adam McKay (The Big Short), Don't Look Up is the much talked about comedy from the stellar cast (Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett) which tells the story of two humble astronomers who find involved in a huge media tour with the intention of warning humanity of a grave danger: the approach of a comet on a collision course with the Earth.
Since its release, the film has severely divided audiences in two, receiving as much praise as it has dissensions. It is clear that McKay intended to make the audience reflect - on climate change and the need to act as soon as possible to preserve our planet - by telling a plausible story that leads to the extreme ridiculousness of the actions of the characters and the evolution of the story. But the ridiculous-parodic element, which inevitably arouses bitter laughter in the viewer, fails to balance itself perfectly with the drama of the plot. So, despite the spectacular cast and worthy morals, overall Don't Look Up fails to withstand the high expectations that are created at the beginning of the vision, concluding with an ending that does not honor the director's noble intent.
