At the Cinema: Public Enemies
Must say I was disappointed. Several critics have said the film does not catch fire or reach a boil and this is quite true -- it just simmers along.
Additionally, it looks like they filmed this on HD Video and the camera work only serves to emphasize the video look. Distracting, even disconcerting.
Now digital film making has been with us since at least The Phantom Menace and frankly it looked much better than this new film. Perhaps Lucas was using a better camera or a better process, but the "video look" of Public Enemies is very obvious.
Beyond that this is not a very engaging story -- perhaps a rental, or even better a cable movie. Oh well...
The only trailer of note was the new Kathryn Bigelow film "Hurt Locker" That one looks interesting.
:wink:
