The Wachowskis GO ON TV!!!


I really watched this movie out of curiosity because of the huge hate towards this movie and as fan of their work...

I was prepared for yet another over exaggerated negative consensus from critic who really seem to nitpick every movie and focus of the small flaws and ignore the good things in the movie...

I must agree with general consensus on this one...

Wachowskis really failed in my opinion...of course if this is a movie they really wanted to make and it works for them that´s completely fine.
But story like this one would much better work as a TV series where these cheesy plot twists and dialogue works much better then on a big scree minus the huge budget, which was used to deliver amazing visuals and there Wachowskis delivered.

If they want to tell stories like this and in this way do it on TV.

Great visuals and Fxs are not enough anymore. I saw Cloud Atlas and even though I didn´t understand that movie I cannot say that it was badly directed. Besides the horrible and out-of-the-moment-taking make up shenanigans really bothered me but other than that it was fine...
BUT once again thanks to its visuals and maybe Tm Tykwer who is imo amazing director.

This movie was written and directed badly. It´s not the worst movie ever made AT ALL.
Casting was quite nice. Except Mila Kunis after seeing her performance in this I say she cannot act for sh!t. At least not in this type of movie. She´s good in comedies so she should stick to them. But her acting, or directions she was given, SO BAD!
Channing´s star power is undeniable. He´s not the greatest actor ever but he´s a STAR actor for sure...

I did not finish this movie I had to stop after the wedding scene which was so cheesy and cliche that it offended me that stuff like this is present in a modern day blockbuster.

The Wachowskis are another ones who after groundbreaking start are vanishing away.

I think they should focus on a smaller TV projects and some innovative TV series could repair their reputation a little bit.

They became a joke at this point. Take it as you want

They are on TV (well, Netflix) already with Sense8. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2431438/

It's their highest rated (on imdb) work since The Matrix.

WOW thanks! :D

I don't see the OP way, the story is not strong, but it's feasible.

No one had a problem with Jurrassic World, which basically a SyFy Network movie with great special effects.

I had a huge problem with that just saying :D
