The reality is that The Purge is one of the worst movies I have ever
seen, an original idea is ruined by huge plot holes, annoying, clichéd
and unbelievable characters, bad acting and scripting, and an absurdity
that goes beyond 'Sci-Fi' or suspending your disbelief... Save
money, actually enjoy yourself, and whatever you do, do not purge!
Trance starts off as an ordinary film about a heist, and the
auctioneer goes to a seemingly ordinary hypnosis session. The plot
quickly descends to a series of mind bending, reality blurring and
thrilling events. The story is engaging and captivating. There are also
fantasy scenes mixed with the supposed reality, making viewers think
hard as they watch. Danny Boyle successfully entrances the viewers with
an amazing plot that always surprises. I find the ending rather
disturbing and bloody, and there were a few times I had to close my
eyes and wait for the scene to finish. Overall, I enjoyed watching Trance for thrilling plot and interesting subject matter.
Finally the great zombie romance? Well, maybe not, but it's the closest
I've seen. You get to see zombie life from the perspective of a zombie,
who starts to get feelings for a girl who's alive. Through a set of
circumstances, he "rescues" her and they take refuge in a grounded
plane at an airport overrun by the undead. There were several original
elements that I had never seen in a zombie movie. First and foremost is
the narration by our young zombie giving us insights into his
condition. He can barely utter words, but weirdly, in his head, he
seems smart and talks normally. I liked that part and I was kinda sorry
when he got somewhat better at talking, therefore evacuating most of
his thoughts. Second original element was the romance. I wasn't
impressed by it, but at least it was slow-building, somewhat charming,
avoiding most of the disgusting stuff, and you kind of rooted for them
by the end. Watch it!
