Mystic Blade (2014)
Do yourself a favor ...
I have no affiliation with this film and have nothing good to say about it. Sadly, this will be a scathing review.
This was so bad its difficult to articulate. The acting was very pedestrian. The lack luster performance in the actual story telling was a constant strain on my patience. The stunts and fight scenes were tolerable. The immersion quality of this film was non-existent. I want my 2 hours back.
Do yourself a favor just enjoy an old Bruce Lee rerun and call it a day. In the end you will have gotten your kung fu movie and at least you won't be mad.
Gravity (2013)
Love Sandra in everything ... ELSE
This was a slow movie. I gave it 3 because it did have beautiful cinematography and the weightless shots were very believable. It was edging a 4 but the movie had little depth. Even the late introduction of back story to try and develop the characters was too little too late.
I understand that they wanted to convey the feeling and desolation of space. And that could be a driving factor for the long periods of nothing. This is, however, a movie and not cosmos or some other educational film. The value of film is in the entertainment and the quality of immersion into the experiences of the actors. This film only did that about a third of the time. :(
