Spaceship 1 movie - 53 Spaceships movie - blog - also DIY Filmmaker blog

 

Now available to stream on Apple TV. Highest 2 Lowest review. Pretty good. Cinematography, editing, script could have been better. Weird use of music under some action scenes. But, movie has some nice images and some nice moments. Unique auteur movie, not typical crime movie - 7/10. Everything could be tightened up. Maybe start w/ a part of the action scene on the train towards the end. Cut to "24 Hours Earlier" or something. Shoot the family scenes at start of movie w/ more of a dramatic camera and editing - show the danger under the calm surface. DW does a great job most of the time. Camera work, editing, music could have improved the movie. A lot of the movie had a "shot on iPhone" quality - wide, detached, not much cutting, kind of a lazy camera. But, some great images of NYC. A more cinematic, action/crime in color, color grade could have worked - could have been a green/orange look, a grainy 16MM or grainy 35MM look. The movie now has a chill Netflix, modern...

  Slow Cinema - like Jarmusch's Mystery Train - establishes the reality of a place, of a world, in great detail. Same with works such as Goodbye Dragon Inn. In Slow Cinema movies we are definitely at a specific place - hearing the sounds carefully, seeing the sunlight or movie theater projector lights, seeing shadows in the night. Alien: Earth offers the same - it's like being at a real place. The production design, the cinematography, the editing - it all establishes the reality well.  You can chill out and think about things while being inside the world of Alien: Earth. It's very much Slow Cinema.   Alien: Earth is also boring at times - like Slow Cinema movies.  You can zone out of the story in front of you, half-register it, while thinking about related matters. The attempt to create immortality for humans, the worlds that the space aliens are from, the political system and history of Earth shown in the TV show - stuff to think about, somewhat similar to stuff yo...

See trailers below. These 3 shows are very good. Foundation - A sci-fi show. Everything is pretty good on the show. It's not at the new Dune levels of cinematography and related work, but, pretty well done.  Deals w/ interesting ideas - using math to predict the future, cloned emperors, and a robot that lives for thousands of years. Chief of War - A very good historical drama. Pre-colonial Hawaii islands. Well made. Dramatic. With some war and violence.  The Morning Show - A drama-comedy about TV news. Overall very well done. Feels like a good HBO show from the 1990s. Several interesting minor characters. Also Mark Duplass from the indie film world plays a fun character - a stressed out news person who can freak out and do something crazy without warning.
