Chaos incarnate

Chaos incarnate

Oh how I (haven’t) missed the shaky cam filming style of Paul Greengrass’s films…

It is an amazing survival story, but I was really hoping more from this film. I didn’t care about the constant back and forth of the bus and the rescuers. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: I don’t like when survival films have more than one focus. I get so much more invested in them when they focus on the primary characters and plot. I was happy to learn that some of the actual rescuers were in the film, though.

As for the Oscar nominated visual effects, it didn’t deserve that nomination. It wasn’t entirely terrible (that climax, though!), but there were times where it looked awful. For having an Apple budget, it should’ve looked so much better.

I enjoyed seeing Matt McConaughey and America Ferrara acting together. They acted pretty well.

This film ended up being more intense than I expected. I can’t believe what the real Kevin, Mary and the kids went through. Kevin’s a hero.

Estuvo bien. No fue nada del otro mundo, pero los efectos especiales estuvieron excelentes y sí hubo unos cuantos momentos bien tensos y ansiosos. Además, nunca está de más ver a Matthew McConaughey en pantalla de nuevo.
