Destino (2003)

It could be something good

[5/10 · 19 July 2016]

But no. It has two problems, and in a short film where the only important thing it's the visual style and how it looks (the animation style), this film isn't good enough.

OK, the visual style it's really cool, because you know, Dali style. Whatever, it doesn't success in the same way in the animation, being sometimes fluid and smooth, and others just rear too look at, and not in a good way. It looks like a transition between a photo and one of those in which an image fades slowly to result in the other, and this doesn't match at all. Besides that, it look awful.

The other problem with the animation it's the use of CGI, when the movie will be far better only with a traditional style, or at least being just in 2D.

In the end, nothing really interesting, maybe if you're a fan of Salvador Dali.

Drive (I) (2011)

Very good

[8/10 · 22 May 2016]

The story by itself, is not very interesting when you first hear it, but watching the movie, you'll see it's actually very good, nothing outstanding but thrilling enough. The characters are very simple, not very important here to be honest, mostly; this in fact helps for how simple the story is. Anyway, the most attractive aspect are the visuals, the shots are very well done and they feel very unique, maybe that will make you really like this movie, sometimes the movie can be brutal, and other it goes for a more poetic style, making contrast, especially in one scene in the elevator. Conclusion: simple but effective plot, and some awesome visuals, check it out.
