Dota: Dragon's Blood: The Fire Sermon (2021)
Bit of a filler episode
In a series so desperate for screen time to be able to explain the inner workings of the dota universe, this episode was a bit of a let down.
Aquarela (2018)
An hour of shots containing just water and ice isn't very compelling.
The first 20 minutes had me hooked. The sound was incredible detailed and the visuals were truly stunning. The camera follows the story of a team who were helping to recover cars and people who had fell through a frozen lake. A man was trapped under ice and they frantically try to get him out.
And then it just cuts away. No conclusion, no payoff. This is when I realised what type of film I was watching.
The following hour features repetitive shots of water and ice, with an equally repetitive soundtrack and audio.
I am definitely the wrong audience (I can only assume), but I gained nothing from watching this absolute slog of a film.
