Film review "Axel"
The film "Axel" is the directorial debut of Oliver Daley, who previously shot only one short film called "Miles". By the way, this is the name of the main character of the film (judging by the description of the short film, this is a truncated version of the film "Axel", apparently the producer liked the idea and they decided to allocate money for a full-length picture).
The plot of the film tells about a motorcyclist who accidentally finds a runaway military development with artificial intelligence. The robot dog costs about $ 70 million, so military blood from the nose wants to return the dog back, and the creators of the robot will watch Axel develop in the field.
I do not understand why the excitement around this film is connected. The most gray, stupid and dull movie. The whole plot is one big convention. All the failure of the scientists who created Axel, we see about 20 minutes after the start of the film. When the protagonist gets acquainted with the dog, a super-duper mega cool dog with artificial intelligence loses to a schoolboy! And yes, it's normal for this movie. A dog is a machine-killer, created for war. Such nonsense immediately discourages the mood, it becomes hard just to enjoy the film. This is not an isolated case. Military men who know how to stop a dog can not stop it. Well, it's not an elite school squad for you.
The dog itself falls apart from any fall, any touch can disable this robot, provided that you are a schoolboy, of course. If you are a military man, naturally you will not cope with it. Where did you collect this monstrous creature? For the whole movie super-duper-mega cool dog with artificial intelligence does not kill anyone, no one fights. All she can do is growl at her enemies. And it spent 70 million dollars! But she knows how to break into gas stations, yes it's a conspiracy! Scientists on the pretext of creating a ferocious machine-killer actually decided to create a dog-burglar, for free refueling.
About the acting game, even speech can not be. We collected a bunch of young actors, but no one even tries to squeeze even a drop of emotion. The love line between the protagonists is something with something. The connection between the heroes is completely absent. Someone can say that this is a teenage movie, Th you quibble? But I do not agree with this. As cartoons do not have to be blunt, so teenage movies should not be like that. Why is "Harry Potter" a good film, while remaining teenage?
If you are waiting for the disclosure of the relationship between the robot and the person, as it was in the "Terminator", well, or at least in the first "Transformers", forget it! You know, if I was 14 years old, I might have bought this story, but there are a lot of other good teenage pictures.
Summarize. The film "Axel" is the most dull teenage movie. The script is stupid and no, it is basically built on a huge heap of conventions: scientists - idiots, military - fuckers, schoolchildren - geniuses. As a summer entertainment movie too by! Ekshena in the movie at a minimum, the dog itself - sucks, does not really know anything, except how to include music and crack fillings. There is no acting game, there is no love line, nothing really is the film. The only thing you want to praise the film for is shooting the first-person races at the beginning of the film, the spirit captures.
I put the movie 5 out of 10. Naturally in the movie on such prohodnyak go do not advise. A sad and stupid movie, which seems to have if there will be collections, there will be a sequel. Thank you for attention!
