So i'd like to start of saying I'm not a fantasy movie kind of girl- However, i thought this movie was pretty impressive. The story was a little hard to follow at first but it started to make sense a little bit into it. The director also had a way of ending the movie where you HAVE to see the sequels or you just feel completely lost!
I thought the characters in this movie were very interesting. The girl who was an owl just blew my mind. When she started changing i was like no way! I also liked how there was the oppostion with good and evil so ,as the audience, we always want the good to win. The way it ended good wasn't winning which only makes everyone want to see the sequel to see the good succeed. Furthermore, when we found of that the little boy was the son of Aton it was shocking since he wanted that baby dead. It was clear once he figured it out he really wanted to protect him and make sure he didn't get hurt or end up on the bad side. Finally, i was a little confused of the significance of the blonde woman. They were calling her 'the other' but also calling the blonde woman 'the other' so it was throwing me off. I also wasn't clear what the bald man (wearing the black wig) was suppose to do in the room with the blonde woman because he clearly didn't accomplish his goal. I'm assuming that maybe this will be a little more clear in the sequel and i can't wait to see it!

I completely agree that the job of the bald guy was completely unclear. It's certainly part of a larger story.
ReplyDeleteAlso I don't know why Aton was lied to about the origins of his son.
I too find Olga to be an interesting figure--and she really is introduced in an interesting way, isn't she!
ReplyDeleteI just mentioned on Andrew's blog that the books on which the series is based are really quite good. The author's name is Sergei Lukyanenko and you can see the info for the book "Night Watch" here:
