Review of Amapola

Amapola (2014)
3/10
more like "Much Ado About Nothing"

Warning: Spoilers
The previous reviewer has got to be connected with the production somehow or on their P&A payroll. Because there's no way this movie is a 10/10 for anybody looking for a coherent story.

Basically, it's a fantasy/dream of the main character Amapola and adaptation of "A Mid Summer Night's Dream." But other than the opera central to the set piece, there's no further connection to Shakespeare's play. The ending that tries to allude to the play makes no sense because there's no mixed up lovers.

The poster and logline made it seem like an epic film about the Falklands War, but the only sequence is a minor CGI VFX shot of airplanes. The rest of the movie is an incoherent mess with over-saturated color palettes like the colorist stumbled on Red Giant Colorista 3 or Magic Bullet plugins and is crazy diffused color warm effect.

A waste of time, except for the leading actress is nice eye candy and good production design.
