The Worst Film Ever
Boring
Admirable film.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Foot travel in the mountains of a strange country with a guide. Not your romantic espade! Great bodies in shape, great panoramas, not much of a story though. Another I watched the second half in accelerate. Good if plenty of time.
This movie was an EPIC waste of life. After debating on whether to watch this film or not multiple times, I decided to give it a shot. About an hour into the movie, I felt extremely bored as NOTHING had happened. I gave it the benefit of the doubt, thinking that there is no way a movie can be almost two hours long and have no point...I was wrong. I hung in there waiting for a moment of anything even remotely interesting, and I was severely let down. When I say nothing happens in this movie, I mean NOTHING. You are better off staring at the ceiling for hours than attempting to watch this life draining piece of crap. Just saying. Spare yourself the suffering of watching this movie. Seriously. There is no plot, almost no dialogue, and the dialogue that there is is nothing more than random gibberish, or it is inaudible anyway. There is no character building, and there are no explanations for any of the (very few...) actions that take place in this film. I have never actually been ANGRY at a movie until seeing this one, if you can even call it a movie. Don't waste your time.
If 0 was an option The Loneliest Planet would have got it. This is by far the worst film I have ever seen. The first hour is spent in complete boredom waiting for the "incident" to occur, and when it finally does occur its as boring and uneventful and one would imagine. The second hour is equally (if not more) boring where again nothing happens90% of the screen time is taken up by three people walking across the screen, the other 10% is occupied by subtitlesless foreign dialogue and zero plot or character development.Save your money and save your time....Do not see this movieI only wish someone had told me this before i went to see it.
First off, with all the negative comments I have read, I can only draw the conclusion this film is not for everyone. Yes it is slow, repetitive, and often with the camera pointing at a scene, for a long time, in which nothing much is happening. However, the scenery around the Caucasus Mountains in Georgia, where the film was shot, is breathtakingly beautiful. So it helps if you are an armchair adventurer, an armchair hiker in particular, who enjoys this kind of scenery.The plot is fairly thin - the relationship between two young people deeply in love, but thrown into question by one simple, disruptive event. Still, it only carries part of the weight for this film. The dialogues are not great either, and I feel much improvement could have been achieved with a better script.Summing it all up, it is worth 2 hours of your time if you are an art-house film fanatic, enjoy outdoor scenery and have the required patience. Otherwise you may want to skip it.
