People in love with the Sci-fi genre won’t feel disappointed. However, if you are expecting to watch another Avengers or X-Men kind of stuff then you all are chasing a mirage in the desert.
I am giving this film 6.5 out of 10. The good things are Coluche’s spontaneous humor and satirical jabs. But as far as the story is concerned, I am hugely disappointed. It could have been much better. The other aspects such as screenplay, editing, music, and direction are all good.
We have decided to give this comedy movie 7 out of 10. The reason why we are not giving it more than 7 is the fact that it drags a lot in many places. The runtime of over two hours is too long for a vanilla storyline.
"In the end, it is not always a happy ending."
I am giving Dia 10 out of 10 for brilliant storytelling, great acting, wonderful direction, and soul-stirring background score.
Talking about the technical aspects of the movie. Roger Deakins’s cinematography and Lee Smith’s editing are praiseworthy with many scenes captured beautifully through the camera lens. The color palette of the movie is remarkable and gives a realistic feel of the war-like situation. The last fight scene where Schofield is trying to reach Mackenzie by running parallel to the trench of marching British soldiers is the best scene of the movie. That’s the epitome of Sam Mendes’ mastery of movie-making.
To be frank, except at a couple of places, I am largely disappointed with this film. Giving strong messages in short scenes of 2-4 minutes may work for the European audience. But as far as the Indian audience is concerned, I don't feel the same. I am giving About Endlessness 7 out of 10.
I only recommend this film to those who have a real penchant for European or Scandinavian cinema. The kind of humor and other elements present in the film may not be comprehensible for all kinds of audiences.
As I said in the opening lines of this article that I was having high hopes from this film but I am a bit disappointed. So, I am giving this movie 7 out of 10. The reasons are many, such as I felt that the makers decided to make this movie because they had to. But the most disappointing reason was the weak and less exciting plot. Compared to this part, Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle was definitely a notch up.
