Neue Bands und wichtige Filme: „As long as the music’s loud enough, we won’t hear the world falling apart“.

“James Cameron’s soggy new digitised film has beached like a massive, pointless whale. The story, which might fill a 30-minute cartoon, is stretched as if by some AI program into a three-hour movie of epic tweeness. (…)

The effects now, technically impressive as they are, amount to high frame-rate motion smoothness which is soulless and inert, creating not so much an uncanny valley but an uncanny Mariana Trench down in the depths. Cameron’s undersea world is like a trillion-dollar screensaver. (…)

The submarine world of this film is, in its way, its chief character and its whole point. The move from land- to sea-based existence is the way a new film was created. But the sea world is imagined with a lot of cliche. Frankly, there isn’t a single interesting visual image and the whole thing has the non-briny smell of a MacBook Pro. Finding Nemo was more vivid.

And what do we find aside from the high-tech visual superstructure? The floatingly bland plot is like a children’s story without the humour; a Young Adult story without the emotional wound; an action thriller without the hard edge of real excitement.”

(Pete Bradshaw im Guardian)
