"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

Battaglia navale – finalmente il film

20120412-212810.jpg

È giunta l’ora che tutti attendevamo con trepidanza (e anche un po’ di misticanza). Dopo Minesweeper: the movie e Tetris: the beginning, ecco che presto giungerà nelle nostre sale Battleship. Il problema è che, al contrario dei precedenti, questo è un film serio (se così si può dire), con quello che noi amanti delle forti emozioni amiamo definire un cast della Madonna. No, non lei in persona, che ormai ha una certa età: al suo posto ci sarà Rihanna, accanto a nomi del calibro di Liam Neeson, che dopo la (non) morte idiota in Batman Begins non è stato più lo stesso, Taylor “Gambit” Kitsch (appena visto nel pregevole e bistrattatissimo John Carter) e Brooklyn Decker, il volto di Victoria’s Secret, ben al suo secondo film dopo aver fatto l’aspirante nonsocosa in Chuck. Alzi la mano chi vuole andarlo a vedere. È diretto da Peter Berg (quello di Hancock), e la sceneggiatura è dei fratelli Erich e Jon Hoeber (quelli di Red). Io mi riservo di capire, prima, se il film è serio oppure no. Il problema è che temo di sì. E poi chi mi conosce lo sa: io ho sempre il cacciatorpediniere in A15.

    Ma sai che le prime recensioni sono entusiaste? Dicono che sia proprio un bel pop corn movie… beh speriamo! Anche se non penso di andare a vederlo al cinema… debbo risparmiare XD

    la composizione del cast è da manuale:
    Per chi ha un gusto maturo: Liam Neeson
    Altrimenti: Alexander Skarsgård (vampiro di True Blood)
    Per ragazzini/e: Rihanna
    Per allupati/e: Brooklyn Decker
    Per nerd e/o sporties: Taylor Kitsch

    Un film per tutti.
