Also, if not this film, what else is out there worth seeing right now?I've never wrote something like this so it's probably not very good.
-I disagree, I enjoyed it. But, one quick question: Would you recommend seeing this film? Is it well acted? Well directed? Visually, what does it look like? Thanks in advance. I will likely have time to go see a movie next week and I may make it this based on your responses.
I would definitely recommend seeing it (I'd give this movie an 8.5/10 but that's subjective), if you can handle films with slow pacing. The movie focuses more on character development and hiding/obscuring pieces of information as opposed to special effects, so the pacing is fairly slow but still builds a lot of tension. It's very well acted, the characters are who you expect them to be right from the get go and reflect the situations they have created. Visually, it's beautiful. Just look at this: From the setting to the filming itself I enjoyed it a lot. There are a lot of long shots and long takes that allow you to immerse yourself in the setting of the film. In general there is a lot of soft and natural lighting and there are a lot of visual clues to keep on eye on (use of the color red, mirror images and dividing the shot). If you have seen Moon it reminded me a bit of that visually. If you want pure action and adrenaline I'd recommend Avengers or Fast 7, if you want something that focuses more on theme and plot development then I would say go see Ex Machina. Unfortunately I haven't seen much else that's out in theaters right now.
Awesome! All of that sounds like the kind of thing I am looking for. I'm going to go see it, I look forward to it, thank you for the impetus
