The Witch: Part 1 - The Subversion

Movie: The Witch: Part 1 - The Subversion
Language: Korean
Media Partner: Nil
Source: Amazon Prime
DialR4Review RATED 6/10

The movie is very much templated in any sci-fi human experiment movie. The templated characters and story is saved by the twist and good action blocks in the second half. The lead to the second part is quite catchy. This is entertaining and no boring moments, but it gives the feeling that I am watching a movie which I had already watched. Go with low expectations and don't look for originality, then you can enjoy this action flick once. If you don't have any other movie to watch, then sit through this, else skip this one, you are not loosing anything.

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

If you are looking for blood thirsting action with mindless characters, then this is the best choice. The story is average and the characters are below average, but the bloody violent makes me to recommend this one. The movie starts with one group of villains and ended with another set of villains. I did not feel any lagging and felt lot of censored moments. Some fight sequences start with half dead on the blood pool. Not sure the action choreography itself like that or it was censored. If you are not having stomach for full fledged gore moments, then definitely this one is not for you. This one is mindless action movie with only violent deaths.

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

I liked this movie and the fun factors with parallel world was real lol. The first travel and realizing the value was so good and entertaining. There are some real surprises in the second half and nice parallel world moments. But that is not keep the viewer to hole their attention till the end. When the fantasy angle was used wisely once, it was fun. When you start to play with that one and add some logic into that, then you will get irritation instead of fun. That is what happens in the second half. Half baked fantasy love story, watchable once.

DialR4Review RATED 6/10

Director thought, if you put old hits as background you can do any illogical and madness in the screen. Silk scene sequence also similar to that one. SJ Surya is ultimate in this venture and he saved the whole movie single handedly. Whenever he appears in the screen, it was like fire cracker. All other scenes are so dud and sometimes not bearable too. The story is OK, the fantasy angle helped lot in movie flow and comic angle. Vishal with that beard and wig, it is total unfit. Especially his climax mannerisms are irritating to the core. My advice would be, wait for OTT release, so that you will have control in your hand to forward and skip as much as possible.

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

If you want to watch mindless action movie and don't want to check on cast/acting, then this is the perfect one. It is popcorn entertainer to spend the perfect way of your weekend movie time. If you are looking for good story and great acting, please skip this one. It has nothing of that sort, but it has very good action flow throughout the movie. Alia Bhatt role was looks like meaty in the beginning, but later she become doll in the flow. After MI, this also fights against the computer/AI, so dont expect too much from villain. They used some interesting navigation and cloud fighting, it was bit interesting to watch with real good sound effects in big screen.

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

After some time, the movie looks like Marvel one, than DC. The multiverse and the cameo from legacy suits well. Especially the last cameo is so awesome. Its not like other DC super hero movies, it took lot of fun and entertainment than stick to story and beating the villain. Put behind all the DC heroes images and just enjoy the popcorn entertainer. I am not much aware of DC/Marvel comics, just known these guys from movies only. This is definitely be the nice watch for the weekend, if you set your expectations right. Give a try.

DialR4Review RATED 6/10

I began watching the movie with high hopes for thrilling Apocalypse moments and action sequences. The start of the movie was very promising, and I enjoyed the initial sequences. However, as the psychological aspect was introduced into the storyline, the movie shifted more towards a sentimental tone rather than an action-packed thriller. While the original version was enjoyable up until the climax, this one included many new enhancements to the alien invasion plot, which ultimately detracted from the overall presentation. As the movie progressed, the plot started to lose its depth, becoming highly predictable, leading to a great sense of disappointment. It's a movie that can easily be skipped.

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

This is typical mother sentiment movie with time travel masala.... The time travel things and some comedy scenes are worked out well... but the backbone of the movie, mother sentiment is overdosed and dragged the movie to snail pace... Only one chance of time travel restriction in first half becomes joke in the second half... they are jumping like anything.... There are lots and lots of mother sentiment sequences with very long shots... most of the story is predictable.... The only saving grace is the climax...The climax is not routine and try to be bit realistic one.... Mixed bag one... watch it with restricted expectations...

This one has all potential to become the successful sequel, but failed because of amateur writing and direction. The story and beggars backdrop are used in entertaining way, but the overdose of sentiment and masala sequences spoiled the fun. There are lot of minus than the plus points. Lot of scenes are repeated throughout the movie as hero remembering the pain moments.... And the dual role is totally unnecessary...On top of this, the climax court sequence and court arguments are pathetic. This is not total crap... but as a whole it is not likable one....

DialR4Review RATED 6/10

The story is decent and the flashback is quite solid. Other than that the shades of multiple Hollywood movies spoil the fun of the movie. Lot of scenes resembles "the Island" movie and even action scenes. When you don't have connection to the pain of the characters, you will loose the interest on the movie completely. The twist in the end is only help to boast the heroine commercial angle, nothing to the viewers. The story is quite predictable and the lengthy running time tests the viewers patience sometime. One time watchable for the story and flashback.

DialR4Review RATED 6/10

The first advantage of the movie is that the AI doll. This is so cute in one angle at the same time it is more scarier in another angle. The biggest problem is that it take too much of initial time to get into the story at the same time i felt the sinister angle is bit less except the last 15 mins. This is quite predictable sci-fi horror flick and it sincerely followed the template, including Bruce. This is not bad, one time watchable flick. Only problem is the missing originality

DialR4Review RATED 5/10

The movie started with some good action block and good CG work to explain the story baseline. After that the low budget and lack of depth is started visible in each and every frame. I started to watch because of director Yeon. He surprised everyone with train to Busan. And failed miserably in the next two ventures including this one. The reason for the decade long fight and the climax conclusion are total contradiction and didn't justify the whole lengthy experiment. Easily skippable one.

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

The first two things comes in my mind: Positive one, the movie and making takes us to their world and I really lived three hours in their world. Thanks to IMAX and great 3D experience The negative one: There are lot of moments reiterated from the first part. Lot of scenes looks like first part sequences remade in water world with more technical excellence. I was stunned and had lot of jaw dropping moments in first part. Compared to that one, this one has less. At the same time this is not less in class and mass. The beginning and end has superb action sequences, in between there are more sentiments and taking viewer slowly into the new world from Pandora. See it in Imax with 3d to live their world.

The making and story clearly exposes that this is low budget one. The cast is awesome and did their part very well to make this movie as watchable one. The story and the presentation are quite simple not much complicating sci-fi factors. At last the climax concludes the simple story very well. Just lower your expectations and better don't read the synopsis before watching the movie. You will really enjoy this venture. One time watchable

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

Quite surprising in all aspects. The cast, production values and CG work, everything is adequate for the story. Its quite difficult to understand the biology in the beginning and the garden sequences, but as a story flow the movie holds the viewers attention till the end. The story and character development are done very nice way from the beginning of the movie. And cleverly avoided the Citadel politics much. Felt bit dragged in the middle and bit predictable in the end. The villains were killed simply by the kid. But it is definitely interesting movie to watch with minor flaws.

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

A simple alien invasion story with some nice characters. They revealed the alien bit by bit and when it is fully revealed we can feel the majestic. The music helped so much for these things. This is not action packed high pace entertainer. It is real slow paced solid drama. The Alien and the impact on a family. Sometimes it reminds me of the Signs movie. I agree, that this is not up to the expectations but at the same time it is not as bad also. One time watchable drama with some solid drama and some cinematic situations. The first half is so artistic and the second half is so cinematic.

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

RATED 8/10 Language: English RECOMMENDED Period action flick with predator backdrop. Both sides are evolving in weapons, so fights are bit original without latest gimmick instruments. Because of this natural fights, I liked this bit more than the previous Predator series (except first one). The story starts like "Apocalypto" style and get into the Predator fight with another big French group with different motives. I was expecting the Mud scene as it is from the earlier version but it is used differently, I liked this small twist. The cast and CG work was so good and it entertained to the core. Good action flick to enjoy the weekend.

Compared to previous version, this one is little disappointment. But still entertainment to watch. The initial scenes and the dominion was nicely shown, after that it travels to the templated evil scientist and his money minded inventions. If they concentrated more on dinosaurs then the science, it would be sure hit. The dinosaurs become Pet and less dangerous. we can use taser to control the dinosaurs. And some scenes the GFX is clearly visible. One time watchable, if you are expecting pure masala action movie with dinosaurs....

DialR4Review RATED 6/10

It could have been better in lot other ways and spoiled by the highly predictable story and limited action blocks. I was expecting the action from beginning to end. But it has only at the beginning and in the end. The story and its execution is told in 100 other hollywood movies and there is nothing new in this Indian version. It reminds me of lot of Hollywood movies from the beginning to end, thats all...The biggest problem of this movie is that it has "no surprises"
