Boy 7 (2015)
Surprisingly okay sci-fi movie!
I went to see this movie with low expectations; Dutch movies are normally not really my favorite, there are no Dutch sci-fi movies that I know of and the 'police-state' plot is also not really my taste. Imagine my surprise when I watched this movie and was actually entertained from beginning to end!
The acting is very good, the dark atmosphere believable and the plot, though simple (or maybe because it's simple), keeps you at the edge of your seat at times. Plus I find it refreshing to see a science fiction movie without a million dollar budget for special effects; it leaves more for the story and characters and this movie has executed that very well. Not a blockbuster and I will probably not re-watch it, but I do recommend watching it to all sci-fi lovers out there :-)
Big Hero 6 (2014)
A fantastic movie for all ages!
Wow...just wow! When I went to see this movie it was a late evening screening so there were no children, only adults. How we all loved this movie! We laughed, we cried and we were amazed.
First of all: the animations are absolutely amazing in this movie! Every hair, every detail, water, fire, you name it; I caught myself wondering at times how they made everything look so natural!
Then the plot; though the overall storyline is not that original, the way they built the characters around it and still gave the story it's own unique personality is brilliant. This was one of those movies that I didn't want to end just because it was so fantastic.
One of the most important reasons I loved this movie so much is the humor in it. Especially the way Baymax learns and still tries to remain true to his original programming had me to tears (from laughing) several times. And not just me; the entire (adults only) cinema was bursting out into laughter!
Whether you go with kids or not; I guarantee you will have a great time seeing this movie. I will definitely watch it again and recommend it to everyone I know! Instant happiness :-)
