In an effort to get the opinion of other people who like watching movies without waving their degree in "stuck up critic school" in everyone's faces, the MRFNH has created The Second Reel. The Second Reel will give an alternate review of movies already reviewed. Just another way to get the word out to people who are sick of having movies bashed because it's not foreign or has a low budget.
So, let thread up the projector and start The Second Reel.
Direction of this movie is fantastic and artistically pleasing (aside from the constant slow-motion). With that said I'm still disappointed in the lycan design. I know at this point in the game they're going to stay consistent but still... it bothered me then; it bothers me now.
Fun fact with the lycans though, if you're a fan of 'Lost Girl' on the SyFy channel, the character Dyson (Kris Holden-Reid) is also in this movie! He plays a pivotal point in the plot.
Last little bit of contention; India Eisley (aka Eve-Selene's daughter) is best known for the tv series "the secret life of the american teenager" but has also been in Headspace with a minor role in Mother Teresa of Calcutta.
I personally thought she was MUCH younger than what she was and I even told my husband, 'that girl will be impressive some day.' She's very expressive but unfortunately she doesn't have a lot of lines. Hopefully in the next movie she will have a stronger role for being such an important character.
Overall: the 3D did nothing to aid the movie so if you have a choice (we didn't) don't waste your money. The matrix slow motion scenes were slightly tedious but I really did enjoy the movie. It kept moving, which kept my interest and the concept was interesting. It's just a fun movie to lose yourself in for an hour and a half, especially if you're a fan of the series!
