Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Simply Perfect
Excellent but underrated film
Absolutely Brilliant!
Who we really are . ''Embers'' is all about the Naked truth of all the steps of humanity . The ''aggressive''. Chaotic , monkey one , is defending, full of fear and willing of survival . The ''couple'' . Naive , curious and ready to explore life and multiply but without strategy . The ''freedom'' , is ready to risk the life for knowledge of what is out there . The ''consciousness'', is trying to find a method for evolution and not giving up even if fails again and again . The ''Unknown ''. Silent like the future , is giving hope to the present . Small symbols in the middle . Power and freedom ( horse ) , Toys, sweets and comfort ,( candy lady ) ,is ready to hypnotize and keep the ''future'' static by challenging the ego . My ''end'' in this story maybe could be little less painful . I could bring the ''Unknown'' together with the ''freedom'' and the ''consciousness'' but this could be in a ''happy end'' fairy tail , not in real life . And this film want to show that everything goes on and nothing can anticipate the future . Great film .P.S. When it finished for a few seconds i wanted to smash the screen but when i think again everything got so clear ;)
Liked the journey, hated the destination! Will someone in Hollywood figure out that there has to be a conclusive ending?The first two lines is all I wanted to say but, it told me I needed 10 lines of text to submit. Read the first 2 sentences 5 times. Like sooooo many movies these days, it appears to be in vogue to end movies with the audiences having to guess what happens next. Really lazy! To fill more space, there is unrest in the forest, there is trouble with the trees, for the maples want more sunlight, and the oaks ignore there please. Why don't shrimp share? Because there Shellfish! Trouble with the maples, and they're quiet convinced their right.They say the oaks are just to lofty and they grab up all the light. But the oaks ca't help their feelings if they like the way they're made. and they wonder why the maples can't be happy in their shade? There is unrest in the forest there is trouble with the tees. For the maples want more sunlight and the oaks ignore their please.
This is a movie that will grab your attention. You will develop interest in the characters and the story that they are in. However, the movie doesn't take you anywhere and that seems to be the glaring problem. All movies need an arc. Stories are suppose to have some sort of end. While the beginning and even middle of this story draw you in and end falls flat. While the acting in the movie is above average and while production value is very good the obvious whole is too much to look past. What we are left with is the script that simply has no idea where it is going. This is why this movie is rated as 6/10 on the site.We get an interest in these characters and their story but it doesn't actually have any interesting story to tell you about them. The whole movie is simply a waiting for the climax that never comes. As if they pieced together scenes to generate interest but then take it nowhere.I love the concept, the acting, the production. But this is a script that needed a lot of work before being shot. As the story needs to be more than simply the effects of the disease. We are expecting more from these characters story lines. Stories about nothing tend to be nothing anyone wants to watch. The last thing a movie should do is leave the audience wanting in a bad way at the end. I give it a 7/10 which is more than most rated it. Because there is a fair bit of quality work here. It's not that the movie isn't interesting. It is. It just lets you down after such a good start.
The characters in this film pull you into their world from the first minutes. Even while the premise is being developed, I was curious as to where they all will travel - physically, mentally, emotionally. The scenes are beautifully shot and the settings are stark and dramatic. Just when you think the characters are finding themselves and each other, and perhaps recovering from their circumstance, they are back again at their personal ground zero. I would like to know more, e.g., where the bunker family is getting their food, but that's for the viewer's imagination to resolve. The concluding scene was powerful - will we be seeing a sequel?
