The movie was very predictable all the time, however it was very interesting and exciting, mainly due to the great chemistry and incredible performances of Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita.

Will they find the way to save human race?. 

This movie was near flawless, the soundtrack was so amazing, the acting was out of this world. Everything in this movie was perfect that actually got you since the first minute. Interstellar has one of the best filmographies ever, everything in the movie is putted in the right placed, not just the tiemline but also the way it envolves you in an ocean of emotions, the location its gonna make your hair stand up and let's talk about how the protagonists do a perfect job in bringing us a movie that for a lot of moviegoers and critical are one of the best ever made.

We recommend this movie because there is an history where this includes physics, mistery, and a little awareness about othe future of earth. The feelings with this movie are pretty good with the contrast about the mission of astronaut and the father that protagonist acts. Another reason is the visual effects, if you like the sci-fi with a lot CGI, this is your movie because you see other world and you think that is real. The history has a good concept with the science and the reality, well if you love this things, you love Interstellar.




















Team 7 As above, so below


 As above, So below it`s a 2014 Franco-American mystery/suspense film. Directed by John Erick Dowdle, produced by Legendary Pictures and distributed by Universal Pictures. It was released on August 22, 2014 only for selected movie theaters, then august 29, 2014 was the official premiere. Has a duration of 93 minutes and is classified R. Interpreted by Perdita Weeks, Ben Feldman, Edwin Hodge, Francois Civil, Marion Lambert and Ali Marhyar.

It all starts when the protagonist Scarlett Marlowe continues with the work of her father, who was looking for the philosopher stone until the day of his death. After a lot of time of research, she with two friends travel to the city of Paris looking for clues to find the philosopher stone, but it´s here where the strange begins, when with a group of excursionists must enter to a hide part of the dark Catacumbas and strange events start happenening to them while exploring. Will they all get out of live from the Catacumbas?

 

The reason we consider the film ‘As Above So Below’ (2014) worth for writing a critic is the creativity work from each department to produce a horror film that actually scares people without using directly those old-fashioned ‘scream jumps’. Even though this movie is based on the poem Dante’s Infierno, the story and script are very well-written and you can tell since this group of curious guys decided to go on a mission under the streets of Paris. They wanted us, the viewers, to feel like we were the ones going through that trip by choosing shots on free hands and very harsh zoom-ins and zoom-outs, transporting us into a documentary movie we are filming without leaving our seats. The sensation from those very closed angles helped us to not see what is going on so we create our own description of villains and demons.


We think it´s a very unpredictable movie, besides it gets you into the plot. It generates a lot of emotions like fear and adrenaline, which makes it more exciting.  Also, it shows you a Paris tourist location that exists in real life, which makes the plot possible reality. The film is perfect for those looking to spend an exciting time and definitely not get bored.

As for the plot in general, the story has a linear course but ends leaving it open to new films, the main characters were very well developed, the main villain could have been better but it was better than average, Gyllenhaal did a great job playing him, like the other actors, they played their role excellent and could carry out great the personalities of the characters as well as the direction. With respect to the costume, always Marvel Studios make an impact with the design, and have a good quality in all aspects. The impression is the flexibility with which the actors move with them. Special effects allow for the actors to develop in the scenes  and all in group works for an incredible production. Watts was able to overcome the previous film by far.

We recommend the movie because in its 129 minutes of shooting, it makes us have full attention on it for the type of scenes it has, the genres that were used together with the performances are excellent, another reason to see this incredible film, is that it is recommended for children, even adults.

The story is interesting from start to finish as its main and secondary characters have great relevance in the story, without setting aside the soundtrack that's spectacular.

Team 8 Titanic

Has a duration of 195 min. and is classified PG-13 according to the MPAA. Is a movie of romantic drama, adventure, catastrophe and of epoch.

On the other hand, Jack is a poor boy, who won a ticket to the famous first trip of the Titanic. They both casually meet when Rose is having a breakdown, and Jack saves her, and since then, they start a friendship during the whole trip of Titanic, that eventually ends up in an impossible love because of Rose engagement and the difference of classes between them ... would they end up together?

The soundtrack film was composed and recited by an orchestra that brings more feeling and excitement to each scene. It transmits tension or sadness depending on the scene, causing different emotions when listening to it. One thing that also must be highlighted about the film is the design of the costumes. It's so accurate in colors, textures, shapes, patterns, and design that it automatically transports you back to 1912.

We think it's very interesting and moving movie, unlike most of the movies of this genre because it generates a lot of feelings and a desire to cry. It presents real-life situations that are sometimes very strong and unpleasant to live, but this film is perfect for lovers of romantic stories and for people who would like to find true love like this.
