In a story that spans billions of years, a buoy and a satellite meet online long after humanity’s extinction. As they learn what life was like on Earth, they discover themselves and what it means to be alive and in love.
Imagine Wall-e but instead of the cute love story, it’s one drenched in self-loathing & existential dread. Wish it had more focus, so much of it feels lost in its own sci-fi sauce— wish even more that half of it didn’t take place in the metaverse, but Yeun and Stewart are so incredible that I still found myself liking it, even if I wanted to love it.
A beautiful examination of humanity’s evolving relationship with technology and thus ourselves. People will say my rating is biased by my love of Kristen Stewart. To that I would say that is because I have taste and means you should trust me more.
The more I think about this movie the more problems I have with it. Would have been an amazing short but as it stands it feels very long for a 92 minute movie. Cute and nice at times, creative intro - ultimately just felt a little to ~fake~ in the end.
It’s hard to say what’s more impressive: That a married filmmaking duo made a romantic drama that covers 13.7 billion years and includes a scene where a buoy fucks a satellite, or that Sam and Andy Zuchero’s debut feature — a tedious movie that gradually squanders all of the goodwill earned by the creative ambition behind it — somehow manages to feel trite and predictable in spite of that premise.
As much as I respect the chutzpah required to jump directly from short films to what might be the longest-spanning love story ever told, time ironically proves to be the undoing of a movie about two star-crossed pieces of metal who can’t even feel it pass. Their struggle to keep…
Wall-E live-action? Um romance entre uma boia e um satélite… certamente original, suponho. É o tipo de besteira que me encanta. O desenvolvimento da relação entre os “seres” é estranhamente denso, cheio de autodepreciação e angústia existencial. O tom contemplativo inicial, com aquele senso de descoberta do ambiente (bem parecido com Wall-e…), e as reflexões propostas sobre humanidade e busca por conexão também são sublimes. Só faltou um pouquinho de foco, alguns momentos se perdem na própria ficção científica; como as cenas estilo The Sims, que não me chamaram tanto a atenção, muito por conta do contraste visual com os demais momentos. Mas enfim, certamente exótico. Encantador também. Talvez fofo. Sexo entre boia e satélite? Talvez um grande filme. Não assista.
