Yes, I saw Supersoul. Aside from the fact that neither you nor I revealed the entire plot. But even if that were the case with this film, as I’ve already said, it’s not a thriller but rather a documentary-style film. The upside-down flag prominently featured on the poster is testimony to that. A somewhat sharp person can understand the ending even before the film begins. The point is, this is not a review of the latest thriller like Seven or The Usual Suspects: in that case, if some complete idiot were to spoil the plot, he could rightly be castrated. But in the aforementioned situation, the story is secondary; it’s a means through which the director conveys his message. A message that, in my opinion, is strong and not at all rhetorical. Bye.

oh crap, I must have misspelled the title in the search. Sorry, supersoul. It wasn't my intention to create a duplicate (it's the first after 42 reviews) especially after reading your analysis which doesn't stray much from mine...re-sorry.

@ jimmycruscotto: you may already know, but the Italian dates of the tour have been canceled. Steve Lee is unwell. Hoping that the generic "sickness" passes soon... I look forward to seeing Gotthard on their next visit to Italy.

Hi Fenrir. Thanks for the comment. Homerum is from 2001, and it's precisely from that album that Gotthard leave true hard rock to shift towards something more polished and captivating. Nevertheless, in its melodic nature, it is a valid product (like almost everything else considering the band's quality). I definitely prefer Dial Hard, the debut Gotthard, G., and the monumental acoustic live D-frosted. Bye.

@ilderecensor, who after my comment responds in the end with "In this movie, it seems to me that there is little sense"... are you kidding me??? Just tell me??? Should I speak in Uzbek or use gestures??? Who cares if movie X made more sense??? Then let's also open a parenthesis on The Day After Tomorrow, which you think is more realistic. That film assumes that the Gulf Stream stops from one day to the next... if we analyze the film from this point of view, it's as ridiculous as Waterworld. If you read the IPCC 2007 report, you could deduce how a 30% decrease in that same current could occur over a period of no less than 150-200 years and gradually: stopping overnight is as absurd as the reversal of the poles... so you decide. Waterworld has a plot in line with the genre, and that's its least problematic aspect. It sucks for other reasons (acting above all). A sane person, if they don't appreciate the genre, reads the plot on the DVD/VHS and shifts to something different. If someone wants to write a review on science fiction films, they either say, "I can't stand science fiction," and leave it at that, or they get into the mindset and contextualize their analysis on the work without mocking the plot because the little sense (the sci-fi... which obviously varies in level from film to film) is typical of the genre... Mad Max included. Best regards.

dear derecensor... but where does this bullshit come from that a film sucks if it’s not realistic? This is science fiction (whether the level is bad or not) and if you, in the throes of fever, center a review on the unrealistic plot, let me tell you that you've made a mistake. Sure, it’s easier to make remarks with your little jokes about the "irrational" storyline. Grab the Urania collection and read some books and you'll understand that some science fiction books have nothing scientific in them (especially those from the '50s-'60s). So dear derecensor, next time try to contextualize your reflection... to tear apart Waterworld, it would have been enough to examine the direction, costumes, special effects, and performance in greater depth. I don’t find this film obscene... it's kind of ugly, but there’s worse, much worse.

@Bodhisattva: to respond to your initial statement. The reason is that due to global warming, the ice has completely melted and all lands have ended up underwater... in line with the movie.

I just read it now, Andrew... what is a threat??? Do you think I'm scared if someone who can't write and doesn't accept criticism gives me a 1? If it amuses you, go ahead...
