hyped garbage

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

A cousin from Brazil brought us Acquaria's DVD in her last visit this summer. I was soooo impressed. Sandy is beautiful, Junior is CUTE as hell and don't forget their voices, it is something else – out of this planet – this might be probably where the 'new/dry world' idea came from – not from this planet???I've asked my cousin more about these pop singers, when I was in Brazil last time they were very popular. Their concerts had millions of people singing, dancing – very exciting! But let's talk about the movie, right? this is an excellent movie!! From what I could compare – I saw catwoman last week, and by the way it is very good too! I was in to Acquaria as much as this last Hollywood production. Brazil is doing great, it makes me proud of my born country. I wish Sandy and Junior were singing in America too. Anyway probably soon they will be in Hollywood… I'd love it, LOVE IT!

I thought I wouldn't like Acquaria at all but when I went to see it now - I was totally blown away. First of all, the looks and the story - a magnificently photography/art and a nice structured screenplay that hit all the right notes. Who says that a great action, science fiction films are made in the action/efx sequences? The reason why the action sequences in this film were so nice, was because the characters were so well drawn out, given time to develop, and it gave us time for us to developed a sense of them, caring about them, and then, the action sequences hit. Such amazing moments. The acting is top notch, especially Sandy, who endowed the character with such depth of feeling. Ever the skeptic, I kept hinting at moments that would go wrong. At times, when the screenwriter would take the cliché way out. But then, something happen, the moment right after the action sequence in the house, a moment when the family is killed, and the baby is inside the piano--- I don't mind saying, that I breathed deeply and tears rolled down my eyes when they were in Acquaria, dancing. Why? because for one second, Flavia Moraes, let me see the heart of the movie. Underneath this glossy, special effects action filled movie, there's something that is all too lacking in the science fiction film production that I have recently seen, and that's a heart as big and as deep as a person's imagination.

So, here I am to discuss a little bit about my insights on Acquaria. I know I am not an expert nor a famous movie critical guy. I am only a ordinary person who happened to see this movie almost by mistake. It was not made for me - I know! - I would say it was probably made for teens... But here it is, a very thruly opinion for anyone to consider and think about it. I was impressed!!! As many USA movies we are "obligate" seeing by millions BUT don't forget this one is Brazilian, a total national production... Acquaria has the good (perfection) quality of any Hollywood big production. It's visual is incredible - the final result is a impressive/must see movie. I am glad I was "forced" to find out about Acquaria! Marcos Sao Paulo, Brazil

Alterning elements from "Waterworld" and "Mad Max", this film is a pleasure to the eyes with beautiful sand landscapes from chilen Atacama´s desert. Besides, it´s a pleasure to the ears, with the outstanding brazilian diva Sandy and her voice. Go to see it now, but don´t forget to take a big glass of water before. I´ve got very thirsty at the end.
