Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
... View MoreI wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
... View MoreA clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
... View MoreAmazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
... View MoreFirst of all my mind made up too many scenarios, like family members are full of barberians who were trying to some kind of hypnotical experiments or Alicia has a serious mentall illness but later than it all became make sense (which is too long for explain) and finally get involved with it. I've just loved the ending, mix with herbal tea, 15 valium and also unknown 3 pills of course she would have a fatal heart attack! Ending was all about traditional treatments againts modern treatments. In general this movie is just not for everyone so it doesn't make it boring. Great movie with disturbing scenes.
... View MoreThis is a very good movie. The character development is great and the tension seems unbearable at times. Its a movie that has more affect with the second viewing because once u know the outcome, you can see every little creepy nook and cranny. This film follows a young and probably immature girl who goes on a vacation with her older cousin and a few of her older friends. This girl thought she would have fun but it turns out she just couldn't handle it. There are many things that remind me of my childhood, as I have been in the shoes of the protagonist and the antagonist at times. That moment when ur surround by older kids and you think they are always laughing at you. Or that moment when you are the older kid and can tell the girl is uncomfortable but keep it up for no reason. Just cuz ur older and apparently to you, cooler too. Being isolated and feeling trapped can cause a person to really lose their grip especially when they are struggling to fit in. But this movie is so much more than that. The film slowly builds to an extreme level of tension and as the viewer you are scared to see what happens next. Its an example and testament to times when you think you have a clue but you don't. The older kids were certain they knew what Alicia needed. They were a little too certain,for tge wrong reason. They didn't really read the signs. This is a powerful movie for youths to watch. A powerful message on bullying and a powerful message on paranoia, Magic, Magic truly stands tall in its genre. It IS a horror movie and in the best kind of way possible.
... View MoreWell, if you think that Iron Man is a great movie, then of course, Magic Magic will seem the most boring movie ever.In my case, I love simple stories, that present characters as real world people, with real-people problems and challenges, that allow us for introspection and learning.In the case of Magic Magic, we are presented with the downward spiral journey of a weak mind, triggered probably by the distance from home, the sight of a foreign land, and the overwhelming amount of environmental stimuli, which can be trivial for the rest of the characters.If we exercise our empathy just a bit, and look that world through the eyes of Alicia, we will find ourselves as witnesses of violent events that can harm us very deeply.The movie not only shows a very complex character in Alicia, but tests our sensitivity levels.A masterpiece with great acting, and a great lesson for all of us.
... View MoreI guess with a title like this, you can be excused expecting something different. Maybe even the trailer suggest something else (haven't seen that obviously), but the movie at hand is a very weird one. It seems to go one direction and then strays away and gives us this "What the heck?" kind of movie.There is nudity in here, which I didn't expect, but it shouldn't influence your movie watching experience in a good or bad way. It's just there ... just as the things the characters do. It's also very interesting to see how the characters (humans) are light when it comes to seeing hurt animals and how they react when another human being is hurting. There is a bad behavior sort of theme running through and it's pretty clear what the "message" is supposed to be ...More than interesting experiment, if you let yourself experience it
