Titanic (1997)

Meeeeh x 4

[4/10 · 14 February 2023]

Tried watching this movie four times.

Never have I been able to make it past the forty minute mark.

Sure the cinematography is beyond excellent, but apart from that the tale is basically a banale love story.

The evil characters are basically bad, and the good guys are .... really good

I appreciate the effort James Cameron put into this movie, but I cannot understand why he didn't make the story a lot more interesting... Most likely because of the cost of the movie, forced him to shoot for a wide romantic audience.

I just wasn't truly interested. Not for a single second. Just rather bored after 4 x forty minutes.

And that is the minimum character limit met.

The Matrix Resurrections (I) (2021)

I'd rather take the blue pill

After watching The Matrix, all the details remained with me for decades.

After watching this movie... I chose to NOT remember what it was about.

....And these are the minimum 150 characters required for a review.

APEX: The Secret Race Across America (2019)

Different, but same

I am a huge fan of the original Cory Welles 32 Hours 7 Minutes edit of this movie. I live in Europe, and still I ordered the DVD and a poster from her US website after watching a 'less than legal' version that was obtained .. in some other way.

Apex... Is a slicker production featuring much of the same footage.

27 Hours 7 Minutes 9/10 Apex..... 9/10

They are both well made automotive documentaries - to decide which one is your favourite: watch them both - neither will disappoint you.
