Plot: 5/10. Cheesy and unrealistic, a mix between Deep Impact and Geostorm, yet entertaining, although the third act is a bit weak.

Direction and photography: 9/10. Very well made film, with beautiful photography and superb one-shot scenes.

CGI: 9/10. Better than some recent Marvel/DC movies. Close to Gravity. Not a CGI-fest where the plot is driven by special effects.

Acting: 7/10? I've seen the spanish dub, which I think is pretty good. I can't tell about the russian or english dub, so...

In conclusion, a Hollywood's Sci-Fi blockbuster made in Russia, with little to no patriotism. Definitely I recommend it.

If you can get away with scientifically inaccurate movies with ridiculous plots, and enjoy a cinematic experience of good CGI and over-the-top action, this is your movie. Forget all those critics who would like all Hollywood movies to be like Gone With The Wind or Amélie and just enjoy this disaster movie.

Also, acting is good and plot makes even more sense than other movies like 2012 or Geostorm. I guess it got bad reviews because, as it uses to be, cast has no well-known actors in it.

If you like movies like Volcano, The Day After Tomorrow, Deep Impact, San Andreas or The Towering Inferno, you will like this flick.

For all the superhero movie fans out there, this film could be re-titled as "The Avengers League 1 and 2: Age of Steppenwolf". It feels like they've compressed six hours of script in a two hours flick to pair with the current Marvel's movies. Due to this, there's no character development, and the whole movie runs in such a quick pace it's hard to understand what's going on, leaving a lot of plot holes.

Also, the inspiration on the current cinematic Marvel heroes is so obvious that it makes this film a bit insulting to the DC fans. Bruce Wayne tries to overpass Tony Stark's reasonable improvements —Veronica, suits, etc.— with bizarre gadgets just because "he's rich". The Flash is the average teeny buffoon as a copycat of the last Spiderman reboot. Cyborg just looks like the 2.0 version of Vision, and Aquaman... well, it's Aquaman.

The worst aspect of the movie is the "downgrade" of Wonder Woman. From the Goddess rable to destroy Ares to some kind of female squire who can't deal with a lame villain as Steppenwolf.

As a whole, this movie is entertaining, but it has so many flaws it doesn't get lower than 5/10 because acting is more than OK. I would like to see the uncut version of this film (if there's any) because I'm sure the released final cut doesn't make "justice" to the original script and cast performance.

OK, this movie wasn't bad at all, but isn't good either. It's a poor attempt from those who own the rights of DC Comics' characters to start a new franchise such as The Avengers... which comes 6 years later. This movie is comparable to Captain America: The First Avenger, but most of the people is no longer interested in movies about the origins of superheros because... well, we all know them.

The acting is below the average, and the CGI is, despite its quality, too unrealistic. OK, we're talking about the daughter of the King of the Gods, but the way the movie manages her obvious overpower above her peers is so bland it makes you laugh rather than enjoying the film. The story isn't even good, all situations coming out from nowhere just to fake some kind of continuity along the flick.

I can't understand some of the extremely positive reviews of this film, but I guess it has something to do with the new Hollywood trend to make films about women empowerment, and it's getting good reviews because it's the first blockbuster to show a woman as a non-mystical super-heroine in the main character since Lara Croft. Maybe they should ask the creators of the last Mad Max movie for some advice about making a movie which truly represents the real postulates of the feminist movement, instead of filming ridiculous action films with zero undertones just for the sake of the box office based on DC hardcore fans and out-of-criteria feminists.

The title says it all. It's the story of a kid and his first car, managed by some kind of smart beluga whale-looking squid which originally lives in an oil field, accidentally "drained" to surface, wanting to get back to his home.

Despite being a bit bland, it still delivers some fun, specially to kids who like monster trucks. It's well directed and the CGI work is acceptable, although is hard to believe the characters could survive with no spinal cord trauma all those jumps and tricks made by the car.

If you don't care about massive product placement, this movie will entertain you and, specially, your children.
