Fast X (2023)
is it ai generated? it seems like it
I don't know, but this movie seems like blending all the good bits you like into one gigantic smoothie that tastes like cardboard. Script makes no sense whatsoever, laws of physics don't apply, all characters just doing completely random stuff, acting is mediocre at best. If the viewer knows that everything ends well, you need a much more substantial twists than random guy that switches sides or killing John Cena, in which one can hardly be invested as he's acting less convincing than my 6yo.
I did not expect much, yet I'm still disappointed - it is just 2 hours of completely random stuff, dad jokes and really, really, really badly lit CGI.
It is a classic example of a movie made without an idea, coherent story, anything other than profit. But I guess it should be expected when it is a 10th episode of that series...
Smolensk (2016)
Could be better but isn't all bad
What most reviewers and voters are missing - it is NOT documentary, so it simply can't be judged as one. You wouldn't expect "Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies" to be judged only basing on historical accuracy would you? Basically it is a movie that bends some facts to make those events more dramatic and movie itself more entertaining. It is listed as "Drama, Thriller, Inspired by true events" and it does a quite good job as that if you use some common sense.
Sure, Hollywood productions with 10-50 times bigger budgets give you more bang for those few bucks spent on tickets, but it is worth seeing anyway.
Music is decent, acting is fairly good most of the time, there is few bits that could use more post processing as it is fairly noticeable that those are green screen scenes.
Sure it has plenty of flaws, some (mainly script) are even critical ones - no one would plant multiple exploding devices on the plane when just one is enough, plus - there must be many other ways to destroy a plane without leaving any actual evidence. But again - it is a FICTION loosely based on actual events. It is not a work of investigative journalist but just entertainment.
All in all - worth seeing if that topic even remotely interest you.
Despicable Me 2 (2013)
definitely worth seeing - as good as the first one
i just came back from cinema and have to say that it was great, fast, funny, full of jokes for audience of all ages, although storyline has a lot of secondary threads it lacks some major twist that could make you say 'i did not saw that coming', but then again it is aimed at audience that expects fun and not mind bending stories
it does have some moments that are a bit scary for 5 year old so make sure that your young one remembers that it is only a story and it will end well (which of course is true)
like in the first part there are some bloopers at the end so don't leave too quickly
