Advantageous Movie Reviews

Missed opportunity.

I saw there were a lot of ten star reviews for this one. That’s what made me watch it. I should have known better. It’s not a hidden gem, it’s not a movie that I will remember. The overall idea was good though, there’s clearly a good movie to be made with that story, but here I thought it missed that opportunity by being much too slow. A faster pace with a tiny bit of action could have been a better choice for Advantageous. At this pace I’m sure there will be fighting against sleep. The acting wasn’t bad, the story wasn’t bad, but the execution wasn’t great, but that’s only my opinion.

Slow and pointless…

I didn’t know what I was getting myself into here, when I sat down to watch “Advantageous”. But I had the chance to watch it, and since I am a movie fanatic, I did of course sit down to watch it. It is good to branch out and delve into new territory once in a while, you might just happen to come across gems you would otherwise have missed out on.

I wish I had missed out on this one. Because I spent 35 minutes in utter despair and complete boredom. 35 minutes of my life wasted, unable of getting them back.

“Advantageous” was unfathomably and incredibly slow paced, to the point where it felt like time actually stood still. And it didn’t help the least that the movie was driven by an utterly pointless storyline.

The one thing that the movie had working for it, in my opinion, was its cast. They had managed to get together a fairly good ensemble of actors and actresses for this movie. And I was especially impressed with Jacqueline Kim in the lead role, despite her being restricted and kept from flying by a horrible storyline.

While I only endured 35 minutes of this movie, it felt like an eternity, and I am not returning to watch the rest of the movie. It just didn’t have any appeal to me on any level.

would be advantageous for you to give this a look

What a pleasant surprise this film was. While trying not to get too much into detail, as not to spoil any of the intricacies of the movie, I’ll say that while this is in the realm of sci-fi, the movie has much more on it’s mind than merely that. It conveys as much in it’s beautiful nuances and a refreshing subtlety that is sadly missing from many newer films of it’s ilk. The film is also wonderfully acted across the board. So that doesn’t hurt.

This mini-review was inspired by a haiku that I wrote on twitter, which I shall also include here for the sake of posterity (if for nothing else) Also in revised form as the original was sadly incorrectly in 5 7 6

Character driven

Well crafted slice of sci-fi

Deliberate pace
