So much average
Sadly Over-hyped
Just perfect...
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
One of the most mainstream David Cronenberg films the Fly is considered a cult classic today and rightly so- featuring a stunning turn by Jeff Goldblum and ably supported by Geena Davis(who were married back then) the Fly is a remake of an earlier film but is a massive improvement. The city of Toronto is as much a character as the people it features some stomach churning scenes. Kudos must go to the puppeteers and make up artists who do a stunning job.
This is a great horror movie but it's probably not for the faint of heart. The real scene stealer here is probably the practical effects. As insane as this movie gets, I really do feel for the characters involved. I had sadly already seen the ending so I knew how it ended, but I watched it again because it's the best part of the movie. This is probably Jeff Goldblum's best film. I like it even more than "Jurassic Park".My only complaint is that I wish it was longer. I feel like they could have shown us more of Goldblum going insane. The music is great and it's full of moments to make you jump out of your seat. I think most people probably already know the plot. It's about a scientist who uses a teleportation device not knowing a fly was with him, causing his DNA to merge and turn into a giant fly. They say the original film from the 1950's was scary for its time and those who were frightened by that certainly don't want to watch this. ***1/2
The Fly rests its excellence on two pillars : a great performance by Jeff Goldblum and stunning visual effects. The plot is a fairly straight-forward one of a scientific experiment gone terribly wrong, with a very slow reveal of the horrifying consequences. There is very quick ramp-up of the disturbing factor though, so much so that I was almost ready to close my eyes before the very disturbing final scene. While the plot is a bit clichéd, the characters have very distinct personalities and are far from clichéd. All the three main actors give very good performances, aided by a clever script, but Jeff Goldblum's performance is particularly noteworthy as the eccentric scientist. It is notable that during his character's slow transformation into the fly, we see glimpses of fly-like behavior when he is still a normal human being, and then glimpses of the eccentric scientist even when he turns into a full-fledged monster. The special effects are very good (and gory), and there are some horrifying scenes which appear very realistic.
The fly is about a Scientist. His new invention is about teleportation. He is successful in his experiment. But he was not happy that he was not able to teleport living thing or flesh. With the help of his new girl friend, he experiments with flesh. Finally, succeeds by cheating and confusing the computer. When he was alone, drunk and angry, he tries to teleport himself. It seems to be successful. But, his girl friend notices the changes. He believed that he was just filtered, like a filter coffee, all the bad things were taken out from him. But, the worst was yet to come. There wan an expected partner to his teleportation, a fly.Deserved winning for the Best Make up at the Oscars. This movie teaches you a few tricks and tips.Highly recommended.#KiduMovie
