The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976)
Underwhelming
I was expecting way more from this movie. It has a great aesthetic for sure and there were memorable moments, the soundtrack is great, but the script felt scattered and unfocused. I was getting less and less engaged halfway through it, and by the end I didn't get anything out of it that was worth the time I spent watching it. It's way too long, very. And that's the main problem to me. If this was a 94min lenght feature, I would be fine with it. It would be more of a weird/artistc movie with a point, but instead it felt dragged out for no reason. A movie long enough to tell a full story and even then feels unfinished, is not a good movie for me. It's based on a book that i didn't read, but regardless, the film should speak for itself.
Tau (2018)
I liked it.
I think some reviews here are way too harsh on this one. I agree that this is not a very original concept, and we've seen it executed flawlessly, even decades before. It's another angle on human-machine conflict and that's fine. I think the issue is that the script needed more coherence. There's a lot of logic issues... which is not great. But I don't think it ruins it.
This movie delivered more than I was expecting. It has great visuals, the acting is fine, the CGI is neat, the story is interesting, engaging and drives you to an experience that is worth watching. I don't feel like it was a wasting of time at all. Make some popcorn, lay on your couch and enjoy some fun time. It may be a little silly for its premisse, to be honest, but at the end of the day this movie is entertaining and I appreciate that.
