I was frankly scared to re-experience the original James Cameron picture
Avatar after knowing for certain that it is much worse, technically speaking, in comparison to the second film in the franchise. Yet I was confident that the film at the very least should be good. So I took my worries aside and watched it again. Does it hold up? Well let's talk about it.

The Green Inferno 2013 is Eli Roth's version of Avatar

In
James Cameron's
Avatar humans are attacking the forests of Pandora, bulldozing and killing indigenous population of the planet, to get to the natural resources their tribes are sitting at. The military is literally playing a role of guards, for the bulldozers, because the indigenous have become sort of very upset with humans, that terrorize their land. This is sort the plot of
Eli Roth's horror film
The Green Inferno, just Roth makes it way way more viscerally.

I have a soft spot for
J. J. Abrams. His masterpiece
Super 8 inspired me greatly to develop film-projects when I was a teenager. But his 2009 other masterpiece
Star Trek ( together with 2009'th other Sci-Fi masterpiece
Avatar by
James Cameron ) is what pretty much started my obsession with space movies.

How The Fabelmans Traumatized Me

I remember sitting at the entrance to a local cinema near me, shivering from a new kind of depression. I was waiting to enter the screening of
Avatar: The Way Of Water, which was released in cinema just after
The Fabelmans. The previous film I have seen in that very cinema, maybe already a week before that, was
The Fabelmans and that dreadful feeling I had was caused by that movie. I was committing an act of masochism going back to cinema right after the trauma I experienced, and I was pretty sure Avatar 2 would only make it worse. I didn't care. I went anyway. Thank god that
James Cameron decided to limit references to himself to a few nods to Titanic and stuff, and instead made a movie that is pretty much designed as a joyride. I don't know if I was alive today if Avatar 2 was anything like
The Fabelmans.

Before
Jerry Bruckheimer was obsessed with telling all his directors to be like
Michael Bay and before
Don Simpson had passed away. The duo of Simpson and Bruckheimer were obsessed with
Tony Scott, the director of such classics as
Top Gun,
Days of Thunder and
Enemy of the State ( which coincidentally were all produced by Jerry and Don, apart from the last film, which was produced after Don's passing ). But Tony Scott didn't only work with the duo. For example in 1993 he made a film not produced by Jerry and Don called
True Romance from a screenplay of
Quentin Tarantino. Which makes
Crimson Tide the second collaboration of the two

Is Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets better than The Fifth Element?

It is funny that I was just watching
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets while drinking Valerian. I was pissed at
Luc Besson because I just watched and reviewed
The Fifth Element. That review was more of a ramble about my theory surrounding his personal life. Which ties in neatly into the message of the film "Love". But for some reason I completely forgot to talk about it's qualities. Which I suppose this review will fix. I will compare the two grand space-operas from Luc Besson. And hopefully we will learn something in the process.

It is infamous at this point that the production of the
Michael Bay quickly assembled into something from which a good script could be written. This movie started production without a script, only a rough idea of the story, which is not a bad rough idea. But all of the little details were not there at all by the time of production, leaving Bay pretty much at the helm of coming up with stuff on the spot.

D'une manière ou d'une autre, je ne connaissais pas le film de
Luc Besson 2010
Les Aventures extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc-Sec. Excusez mon français. I will continue in English now. I just had a pleasure of listening to people speak French for 2 hours straight, because I just learned about the existence of a movie that for some reason passed my radar. As you know I'm a big enough Luc Besson fan that sometimes I take his personal life blunders personally. I knew about his more obscure
Arthur films. And I am anticipating his upcoming 2 films, that nobody seem to know nothing about. But somehow only now I heard about the 2010 Luc Besson film
The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec.

There are ( at least ) 3 types of movies: Corporate bullshit, like the shit Disney produces now a days, which for some reason are popular as heck; smart films with a strong message, which win awards but fail at the box office; and the third type: a film with a message, disguised as corporate bullshit, to trick the audiences that it's the shit they wanna see, while actually being the shit they need to see.
Paul Verhoeven's 1987 film
RoboCop is from the third type.

An exploitation film is a film that exploits some talked about fear or trend in culture in order to sell tickets to a movie that is probably not very good. Exploitation films are usually low budget, badly made B-movies, with a certain charm to them, if you like
Tommy Wiseau's work. 2010's
Robert Rodriguez film
Machete is, somewhat of an intentional attempt at recreating the exploitation film phenomenon. Which exploits US politics of 2025, somehow. ( Rodriguez must have a time machine somewhere in his studio ).

What is it with
Jerry Bruckheimer of the late 90s and early 2000s and with
Nicolas Cage? First in 96 we get
Michael Bay's
The Rock. A year later in 97 Jerry puts Cage in
Simon West's
Con Air. And then in 2000
Dominic Sena under the supervision of Bruckheimer puts Nicolas out of his Cage and into a driver's seat of 1967 Ford Shelby GT500, in the subject of this review, the loose remake of
H. B. Halicki 1974 film
Gone in 60 Seconds.

Luc Besson is known to be a little bit of a pervert. But I'm about to argue that, in addition to liking young women, he also has a sort of a fetish. And while with directors like
Quentin Tarantino the fetish is something rather understandable ( Quentin likes feet ). Luc Besson seems to be turned on by... well... fish. And specifically by Dolphins. His 1988 film
Le Grand Bleu is a love triangle between a young woman, an amphibian man, and a Dolphin ( which the film presents to be a mermaid ).

There are two modes for
Michael Bay: The playful mode of him having fun. This is the Bay of
Bad Boys and
Transformers. And a serious mode. That is the Michael Bay of films like
Ambulance,
Pearl Harbor and
13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi. The latter of which is his most serious film ever.

The Rock by
Michael Bay is about an FBI chemist agent (
Nicolas Cage ) who calls for help from an old retired British Intelligence Agent played by
Sean Connery himself. No wander there are theories that this agent character could be James Bond, making this film a kind of unofficial Bayhem!ed sequel to Connery Bond films. It's not like he didn't play James Bond outside of the main franchise. He did play James Bond in
Never Say Never Again which is a real James Bond film, which is not a part of the main franchise. So maybe, possibly, he did that again here too. We will never know.
