This is an incredibly stupid and boring movie. Even on fast forward, I could only manage to watch 20 minutes of it. It's no surprise that this movie was a flop. The only thing that's unclear is why it cost $60 million to make. Judging by the footage, it looks like it cost a maximum of $20 million.
This is a completely talentless work. Did you want to make a drama? Well, then make a normal drama. Why did you need to bring in an extraterrestrial being? You didn't manage to surprise anyone with fantasy, and there isn't any here. There is something vague and cheap and, most importantly, completely unnecessary. And here's another clear sign of mediocrity—the film's title, Xeno, is an attempt to ride the coattails of the success of popular games with a similar name. This is what people do when they are unable to come up with something new and interesting on their own
Ridiculous and mediocre story, which is difficult to watch from the first minutes. the problems in the movie are far-fetched. the reactions of the characters are unnatural. in the end, all the scenes of the movie are perceived comically.
The movie is too long. very many unnecessary scenes and actions. the plot and style of the movie is illogical and inconsistent. The movie very often had to watch at double speed or skip some scenes altogether. To be fair, it should be noted that some dialogues are not badly written, however, in general, the movie turned out to be empty and uninteresting.
This is an example of so-called movie trash. you can watch this nonsense only at X1.5 or X2 speed. the story is not fascinating. the problem is far-fetched. the movie uses the cliché that has become so familiar - AI is a soulless enemy of man.
The story of the film is absurd, far-fetched, artificial from beginning to end. All the characters are flat, uninteresting, and their dialogues are colorless and unmemorable. The plot of the film is unnatural, empty and cannot make you empathize with the protagonist, just as it cannot evoke any negative feelings towards the antagonist. The secondary characters generally look so unnecessary that there is no strength to watch and listen to them. The events in the film are unjustifiably drawn out and frankly boring. In general, watching this film is a real punishment - it is too primitive and simply not smart.
As I understand it, this is a horror film, but I couldn't watch it without lauphing, because it was something boring, banal and talantless, I had enough ctrangth to watch it (on fast forward) until thirty-five minutes. I didn't have enough strength for more
I couldn't get through more than 10 minutes of this movie. The dialogues are poorly written - they are not smart and are boring. I didn't expect Pierce Brosnan to fall so low...
At first it seemed that the film would be interesting. then this feeling gradually dulled. then I realized that the most interesting thing remained at the very beginning. and at the very end I finally realized that it was a comedy. The scene where Liam Neeson meets his wife reminded me of an Indian film in which the father of the main character turned out (oops) to be his mother... very touching scene
the film is perceived as an indistinct mumbling. the authors of the work try to philosophize in a sphere in which they have neither interesting ideas nor a clear position. the film is not interesting in all respects - there are no exciting, intriguing events, no worthy thought. It is a mess of stupidities and clichés borrowed from various films.
this film reminded me of an anecdote about Indian films: a dying father tells his son: I'll tell you one secret - I'm not your father, I'm your mother!
I turned off the movie after watching the first five minutes. But, when I looked at the reviews, I thought, if so many positive reviews, then something in this movie should be good. Probably, I need to watch the film more closely. Once again I began to look. Hardly watched 15 minutes more and could not anymore. I looked at another 30 minutes on fast forward and finally realized it was movie garbage. But whence then so many positive assessments? I see the list of reviews of the viewers and I see that one person (BittyR.) put more then 10 absolutely identical reviews at the same time with a maximum rating of 10. A lot of other reviews are put by other people, but for some reason they all look very much alike in content. This is an elementary scam. I think that in the list of assessments of professional critics there is also an element of scam. Apparently in 2006 this was possible. Otherwise, such a high evaluation of this movie-garbage can not be explained.
An interesting idea, but very badly incarnate. A lot of unnecessary scenes, superfluous words. Events are unnecessarily long. The semantic part of the film is vaguely expressed, although the authors had more than enough possibilities for this. Equally frustrating is the director's work. many scenes look ridiculous and unnatural
a good, finely felt drama. deeply thought out and interesting characters. But for some reason every minute of watching this movie becomes all the more dreary and gradually there is such a thought - when this tediousness finally ends?
How are you bored me, unfortunate mediocrity! How long can you shoot about a zombie? Do not you have any more imagination than anything else? If there were any sense in this film, I would write a little more, but there's really nothing to write about. Oh, yes, of course, if you like snot, bloody teeth, decaying flesh - then there is something to see.
The film is not interesting. Do not waste your time watching it. Good actors. Bad plot. This film is an attempt to make candy out of ****. Minimal scenery and a small number of actors assumed low costs for the film, but "sharpness of the plot" - good fees. The trick was not successful. first of all because the plot is worthless. The minimal costs resulted in a mediocre fuss on the screen.
a lot of computer graphics - a sea of computer graphics! A lot of strange extraterrestrial creatures, animals, instruments, ships, weapons, buildings, etc., and ... a lot of nonsense things and very little sense. about 200 million euros was spent on this film! But the result was a totally incompetent rubbish. How sad it is! I do not understand how this is possible - the author of such a beautiful work as the "fifth element" suddenly creates such a sludge? Oh, maybe because the director Luc Besson decided to work in the area where he does not understand at all? He decided to write a script... I think this is the main problem of the film - a weak screenplay. Or rather complete absence of adequate screenplay. I put zero for this movie because I could not watch more than 27 minutes. watch longer, just unbearable
it seems that I am the first one to leave a comment here and it is very possible that I'm the last one. obviously, for the reason that this film is simply impossible to watch until the end ... there is no point in writing anymore, because, I hope, you should understand everything already
I did not want to write a review, but the last scene of the film made me do it. The hero of the film received a Pulitzer Prize! So that's what this movie is about. The worthless scribbler tried to fulfill his dream at least in the cinema. But he does not understand that in drama, talent is no less important. The whole film is the barren attempts of a mediocre person. How am I tired of these ignoramuses crawling into the cinema from all the cracks.
I'm very sorry that there are no ratings below zero on metacritic. This film can not be watched, because this film is stupid, uninteresting and untalented.
A trivial militant. A lot of shooting, fighting and swearing. The plot is primitive and flat, like a board: two run away, the others catch up. In order to make a good film, it's not enough to attract a movie star or even a few movie stars. For this, first of all, you need a good script, but there is no good script here. The film is not interesting. I could hardly stand it for 40 minutes, I did not have the strength to look further
surprisingly incompetent story. stupid. boring. it is banal. not interesting and not believable. watch not recommended. thriller and horror are poorly compatible genres, especially if these genres try to combine an incompetent scriptwriter
comment to the previous note: I DO NOT understand how some people can give this movie so high score. Oh yes. Perhaps these are those who were involved in the creation of this film. And I, in turn, can say the following - the film is simply stupid. A ridiculous problem. An absurd fantasy. Nothing to watch.
The story is too straightforward and naive, but the camera work and editing by Guy Ritchie, as always, are stunning. His imagination of visual effects is incomparable. The visual part of the film undoubtedly deserves the highest evaluation. In general, if for the semantic part put 0, and for the visual 10 then the average score is 5
I do not understand how such nonsense can someone please? In the film there is simply no fantasy. Astronauts are infected with some rubbish. Inside a man a monster is born, which comes out of his belly. Ah, yes, in the new film there is a big difference - the monster does not get out of the stomach, but from the back ... this is all the novelty.
An unbearably stupid plot and no less stupid dialogues. Too much unnecessary pause. Very often, dramatic scenes, according to the director's intention, cause a smile or laughter.
Throughout the film the authors try to say something abstruse, but ... nothing intelligible are said. The thought does not build, plot does not converge. The absence of a semantic concept in the scenario gives rise to a lot of allogisms and empty, meaningless scenes. By the end of the first hour of viewing the movie, it becomes obvious that the director himself does not understand what is actually going on in his film. The film is not consistent not only storyually but also stylistically. In it are clumsily mixed different genres and forms of narration are hinted. Phantasmagoric, realistic thriller, mysticism and horror - all lumped together into one pile. In the end, it should be noted that the film is simply stupid.
The film is not interesting. Even the chase on boats was boring. I'm tired of watching already in the thirtieth minute. I feel sorry for Bruce Willis. The film discredits his name.
very mediocre film. The story is not new, uninteresting, predictable and rather tedious. Humor on the verge is not funny. Watching this movie is quite difficult.
I do not know why, but I did not want to watch the movie until the end. It seems not a bad story, but something in the film is not enough. In my opinion, there are a lot of small defects in the film. And in the plot, in the work of the actors, and in directing. In general, the film was similar to one of the series of some cheap TV series
Uninteresting, boring movie with an unattractive storyline. Dialogues are not convincing. The behavior of the characters is not logical enough and awkward. In everything, artificiality is felt
This is a very naive movie. I was especially amused by the look ****. A film, like, not exactly for children. I do not want to enumerate all the stupidities of the plot, because they are not too few there. Nevertheless, the film can be watched if one is not too demanding on logic and common sense, because in the film there are not bad spectacular scenes
How does "life" differ from Ridley Scott's "Prometheus" or "Alien"? If this is alien creature, then it must necessarily climb into the person's mouth and eat his flesh... OMG. This fantastic film lacks imagination
Weak movie. I did not believe a single character of the film, although very good actors take part in the film, but in a talentless scenario, the actor's talent is completely helpless.
A very good start (the first fifty minutes), interesting characters, good dialogues and a completely unsuccessful and clumsy ending. I expected a more interesting and clear continuation.
This film is for believers. For whom religion is of great importance. If you are not believer, for you the film will not be interesting. Very tedious story. Full of scenes of sadism and endless reflections on God
A good movie, but too long. Frankly, I'm tired of watching it. This film should not be more than one and a half hours. The strongest part of the movie is documentary part, at the end of the film. Only for these shots I put an extra point
Not a bad movie. forty-nine for such work is not enough (the score of Critic Reviews). I enjoyed watching this movie from beginning to end. The film keeps you in suspense and does not disappoint at the end
This is not a film, but a propaganda clip or commercial. for what all the pathos of speech and posture? Yes, the visual part of the film is beautiful, but the content and dramatic part is zero.
Too far-fetched story. Inept and clumsy attempt to create drama on the military theme. Did not work out. I do not believe it. Not surprisingly, the professional critics gave so low assessment.
It is not clear for me who can put the low scores for this movie. the film kept me in suspense all **** battle scenes are gorgeous. There is not a single superfluous scenes or dialogue.
The idea is not bad, but poor implementation. Also have superfluous scenes. Film tightened somewhat. Draw of the main character is unconvincing. I couldn't believe in it. in this film playing good actors, but it does not save the film and watch without fast forward difficult. the whole movie - nonsense
I do not like implausible movies. in some basement John was attacked by thirty people and he had them all shot like in the dash. And why not three thousand or three million? perhaps it would be more interesting or not? but in fact the film has turned out not bad, but it would turn out better, if to add a little more common sense in the fighting scenes
some kind of absurd nonsense. far-fetched story. actors are unconvincing. Not an interesting story. Most of the scenes looks far-fetched. the author tried to decorate a banal melodramas by sentimental suffering of a little boy and adding to all this nonsense a clumsy fiction. and as the result the movie turned into indigestible porridge.
