The Settlers (2023)
A boring and pointless movie
29 March 2024
This movie actually got nothing to say, just used the camera to shoot a lot of close up macro images on the screen, every close up frame would have prolonged for a long period of time; another kind of filler trick to extend the length of a movie. The only thing that might worth your time to see is the middle-of-nowhere wildness that claimed to be Chilean territory or Argentina or somewhere else. The camera team of this actually nothing to tell early 20th Century south America did a great job to show you lot of beautiful sceneries, but what missing is the meager storyline and boring plot.

In one of the early beginning scene, there was an accident about a labor lost his right hand, but what could cause that accident if they were just did a wire fence job? There's no explosive involved.

Three guys travelled on their horses in the wildness for days but without a packing horse to carry food, tents and those must-have items for a long journey is just not possible and unrealistically to look real enough. There's only one scene that the third member of this mission, an aborigine Indian young man, caught trout of some kind of large fish in the creek and that's it.

In addition to those mindless and cruel killings, there was also an awful, totally unnecessary scene, showing a British guy assaulted one of the three party member, a Scotsman. (spoiler?)

But in general, this movie actually told nothing interesting at all. If there was one, I didn't find it and simply could not care less.
