LA RECENSIONE

I confess I was very afraid of being disappointed by this film. I deliberately did not read anything about it during production, I just watched the trailer. I appreciated "Man in the Dark" from the director, less so the remake of "Evil Dead", and additionally, Ridley Scott's "Alien" is one of my all-time favorite films (I am old enough to have seen it in theaters when it came out: there was a gigantic white egg with a pulsating green light inside in the cinema lobby, I don't think I've ever recovered from that).
Having said that, without revealing anything about the plot, I can say that the sensation I had was that of coming home, a home where you lived in the past, and you were really comfortable. Visually, the film is a blast, little CGI and lots of (luxurious) craftsmanship.
Very young actors and unknown to me, except for the protagonist who I had already seen in "Civil War", with a gem that has to do with the Androids[Artificial People].
The only note I feel like making regards the quotes (verbal), which are sometimes cloying, but it should be seen in the original language since the adaptations necessary for the Italian dubbing sometimes make your balls drop to the ground.
Recommended.
