This movie has SO much potential and some truly impressive visuals, but it falls flat as it simply just meanders from one obstacle to the next in a plot that can’t decide what it wants to be. There is hardly any thought put into transitionaryThis movie has SO much potential and some truly impressive visuals, but it falls flat as it simply just meanders from one obstacle to the next in a plot that can’t decide what it wants to be. There is hardly any thought put into transitionary moments, failing to build up tension to truly encapsulate the viewer. And while it has its moments, it gets boring and repetitive quickly, especially as its tone of panic remains constant rather than waxing and waning.… Expand

The most boring and dissapointing movie in the last few years. Truly a waste of talent for Adam Driver, I feel bad for him.

The attempt was there, but with the beautiful dinosaurs and good actors and actresses, you forgot that excitement and fresh ideas were also needed.
The film quickly becomes boring and repetitive. You struggle through it too often.

A fun flick to insult your intelligence with. It's like...indescribable. It's a sci-fi, dino horror flick.

A story of loss and the need to continue against all odds in the face of it, “65” squanders opportunities to not only be memeable, but to also develop its characters, their homeworld of Somaris, as well as to present its beautiful CGIA story of loss and the need to continue against all odds in the face of it, “65” squanders opportunities to not only be memeable, but to also develop its characters, their homeworld of Somaris, as well as to present its beautiful CGI monsters clearly and properly. In what seems to be an effort to be sensitive to younger audiences, the directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods decided to avoid presenting the pivotal scenes of death in the plot and with it, most of the emotion and distress it causes, thus vastly cheapening the story’s experience or any value it might have had to the viewer. Their complete lack of spine in the telling is not uncommon in this generation of Hollywood, one which is obsessed with keeping appearances, leaving good impressions and avoiding hurting any feelings. The movie industry is currently swamped in this ideology; a cancer which is nigh impossible to remove since those in power refuse to hire anyone who disagrees, preferring to languish in their echo chambers, unable to see their shortcomings and choosing only to receive praise at every turn. In a pivotal moment in this movie, when Adam Driver’s life is in danger, he delivers every ounce of emotion and determination only for his co-lead to seem uncomfortable instead of involved. This is absolutely a director’s choice; one that is weighed down by the need to avoid any controversy. What could have been a story of love for our fellow man, and a richly developed tale of a father becomes anecdotal in the hands of mediocre developers. We cannot easily identify with the characters and they are not sufficiently engaging due to the poor script and presentation (but at no fault of their own).

Furthermore, the exciting and wonderful CGI beasts in the film are presented at odd angels, momentarily and without true love or consideration to the incredible work put into them. So many monster moments could have been fleshed out and given weight, but instead dissipate. One baby dinosaur in the movie could have gone on to be the next Grogu, if the directors would have had any insight. The movie is poorly shot in general, leaving the viewer frustrated and wishing for a better view of the action.

But the greatest loss, in my opinion, was the chance for this movie to become a cult classic thru the use of imaginative language and word play. The fact that the characters speak different languages could have been the premise for some hilarious dialogue, interaction and brevity. Excellent examples of proper use of this premise can be seen in Luc Besson’s “The Fifth Element” or Wolfgang Petersen’s “Enemy Mine”, both of which are meaningful tales that have staying power in the hearts and minds of their audiences. In conclusion, “65” avoids the chance to be heartfelt and engaging, and thus becomes ignorable; one of many such titles that fade into obscurity.… Expand

Efectos especiales que a duras penas llegan a ser decentes, una escenografía muy genérica, una trama igual de genérica que lo anterior, una química totalmente nula entre Adam Driver y la otra niña, los cuales no transmiten nada, dinosauriosEfectos especiales que a duras penas llegan a ser decentes, una escenografía muy genérica, una trama igual de genérica que lo anterior, una química totalmente nula entre Adam Driver y la otra niña, los cuales no transmiten nada, dinosaurios disque alienígenas bien renderizados pero nada que impresione.

En pocas palabras, una película muy aburrida.

No me extraña que haya fracasado en la taquilla.… Expand
