However it will need some work on the gameplay part. Timelineis an interesting film, because it is an example of several talented forces coming together to make a thunderously mediocre turdsplash of an adventure tale.Wow! this looks amazing and the sprites are well done imo. Directed by Hollywood mainstay Richard Donner and based on a novel by modern sci-fi icon Michael Crichton, this movie about a team of graduate students time-traveling back to medieval Europe to rescue their stranded professor is as boring as it is disappointing. However, Gerard Butler’s performance as André Marek, an archaeologist so obsessed with the time period that he practices swordfighting and archery like he’s preparing for a heist at a Renaissance Faire, is a genuine bright spot. Marek has such an open-faced enthusiasm for history that he’s almost like a kid running circles around the dinosaur bones in a natural history museum, and Butler plays him with a careful balance of naivety and pensiveness. Timeline is a difficult movie to recommend, because while its time-travel twists are kind of neat, you can also see them lurching towards you from a mile away.Ĭast: Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Gerard Butler, Brenton Thwaites He’s the polar opposite of the film’s other bright spot, Michael Sheen as the scenery-chewing villain Lord Oliver. I had to pause Gods of Egyptafter the first hour, during the scene in which Geoffrey Rush was standing on the bridge of his space barge shooting lasers at a giant snake, because my living room was spinning and I was about to collapse from sheer delirium.
The 2016 fantasy action-adventure film from Dark City director Alex Proyas stars Nicholaj Coster-Waldau as the Egyptian god Horus, who must defeat his villainous uncle Set (Gerard Butler) and reclaim the throne of the world. Without hyperbole, this movie is out of its fucking mind. It’s a movie that is as huge as it is dumb, and Butler is having a whale of a time playing the villain. Meanwhile, Jaime Lannister has some fun bits escorting some nerd who is supposed to be our main character, a twerpy thief named Bek. In one of the film’s greatest achievements, the gods are all super tall and all the humans are hobbit-sized, which means there’s more than one scene in which Horus has to scoop Bek up and carry him like a fussy toddler. That said, it is impossible to ignore the whitewashing in this film. Gods of Egypt could’ve been a thoroughly watchable popcorn flick, but as it is, it’s merely embarrassing for all the worst reasons.Ĭast: Gerard Butler, Michelle Monaghan, Michael Shannon There is not a single Arab actor in sight, and it only becomes more glaring and frustrating as the movie plays on.
Machine Gun Preacher, the 2011 drama about reformed biker gang member Sam Childers devoting his life to saving orphaned children in South Sudan, is a very uneven film.
