Murume akatendeuka akananga kunzira yekusaloon yekare ndokutanga kushandura vatengesi kuti vapinde muundead pakati pemutambo wekudhonza. Vahosi, pamwe chete nemabhawa emunharaunda, vanozvivharira mukati mebhawa uye vanofanirwa kuzvidzivirira pahodhi iri kukura kunze.

Kusiyana pakati pe denim nematehwe emabhasikoro, uye zvipfeko zvebhora uye Swarovski makristasi emahosi, ibasa rekuona randinogona kuonga. Mukati mekutambudzika kwese, hapana mambokadzi anobuda muhembe kana kubvisa vanhu vavo vekuzvuzvurudza kunze kwekutanga. Unokanganwa kuti vane humwe hupenyu kunze kwezvipfeko zvavo.

Vese vana vemadzimai anotungamira vave nenguva yavo Ru waPaul Drag Mujaho, Asi Kuuraya yakakwenenzverwa kupfuura a Drag Race kuita dambudziko, uye vanotungamira vanosimudza musasa kana vadaidzwa uye nekuidzikisa pasi kana zvichidikanwa. Icho chikero chakanyatsoenderana chekomedhi uye zvinotyisa.

Utatu Tuck inoshongedzwa ne-one-liner uye kaviri entender iyo rat-a-tat kubva mumuromo make mukufara kutevedzana. Haisi cringy screenplay saka jee rega rega rinogara zvakasununguka nekurohwa kunodiwa uye nguva yehunyanzvi.

Pane imwe joke ine mubvunzo yakaitwa nemutyairi webhasikoro nezvekuti ndiani anobva kuTransylvania uye haisi iyo yepamusoro-soro asi hainzwi sekurovera pasi zvakare. 

Uyu unogona kunge uri mufaro une mhosva wegore! Zvinonakidza! 

Heidi N Closet yakakandwa zvinoshamisa. Hazvireve kuti zvinoshamisa kuona achigona kuita, vanhu vazhinji vanomuziva kubva kwaari Drag Race iyo isingabvumiri huwandu hwakawanda. Zvinosekesa ari pamoto. Mune chimwe chiitiko anopeta bvudzi rake seri kwenzeve yake nebhegi hombe obva aishandisa sechombo. Garriki, munoona. Zvinoshamisa seizvi zvinoita kuti firimu iri rifadze. 

Mutambi asina simba pano ndiye Methyd uyo anoridza dimwitted Bella Da Boys. Kuita kwake kwakashata kunoveura zvishoma kubva pane rhythm asi mamwe madzimai anotora kunonoka kwake kuti ingove chikamu chemakemikari.

Kuuraya ine mamwe makuru akakosha maitiro zvakare. Pasinei nekushandisa ropa reCGI, hapana kana chimwe chazvo chinokutora kunze kwechinhu. Rimwe basa guru rakapinda mufirimu iri kubva kune wese akabatanidzwa.

Mitemo yevampire yakafanana, danda nemwoyo, chiedza chezuva., etc. Asi chakanyatsonaka ndechekuti kana zvikara zvaurayiwa, zvinoputika kuva gore reguruva rinopenya. 

Zvinongonakidza nekupusa sezvipi zvazvo Robert Rodriguez firimu pamwe chikamu chimwe muzvina chebhajeti yake. 

Director Jem Garrard inoita kuti zvinhu zvese zvifambe nekukurumidza. Anotokanda mune inoyevedza twist inoridzwa zvine hudzamu senge sipo opera, asi inorongedza punch nekuda Utatu uye Cara Melle. Ah, uye vanokwanisa kudzvanya mune meseji yeruvengo panguva yese. Kwete shanduko yakatsetseka asi kunyangwe mapundu ari mufirimu iri akagadzirwa nebuttercream.

Imwe twist, inobatwa zvine hunyoro zvirinani kutenda kune veteran actor Neil Sandilands. Ini handisi kuzopaza chero chinhu asi ngatingoti kune akawanda twists uye, ahem, madzoro, izvo zvose zvinowedzera kunakidza. 

Robyn Scott anotamba bhawa Shiela ndiye mudhibhisi akatanhamara pano. Mitsetse yake uye gusto inopa kuseka kwakanyanya kwedumbu. Panofanira kuva nemubairo wakakosha wekuita kwake chete.

Kuuraya iresipi rinonaka rine huwandu chaihwo hwemusasa, gore, chiito, uye mavambo. Ndiyo comedy yakanakisa inotyisa kuuya munguva pfupi.

Haisi chakavanzika kuti mafirimu akazvimirira anofanirwa kuita zvakawanda pane zvishoma. Kana ivo vakanaka ichi chiyeuchidzo chekuti mastudio makuru anogona kunge ari kuita zvirinani.

Nemafirimu akadai Kuuraya, peni yega yega inoverengerwa uye nekuda kwekuti mubhadharo ungave mudiki hazvireve kuti chigadzirwa chekupedzisira chinofanira kuva. Kana iyo tarenda inoisa iyi simba rakawanda mufirimu, ivo vanokodzera zvakanyanya, kunyangwe kucherechedzwa ikoko kukauya nenzira yekuongorora. Dzimwe nguva madiki mafirimu akadai Kuuraya Iva nemoyo yakakura kwazvo kune IMAX skrini.

Uye ndiyo tii. 

Unogona kuyerera Kuuraya on Tubi izvozvi.

Boka reshiri rinobhururukira mujeti injini yendege yekutengeserana ichiita kuti irove mugungwa iine vashoma vashoma vakapona vakapihwa basa rekupukunyuka mundege iri kunyura ukuwo vachitsungirira kupera kweokisijeni nemashaki akashata mukati. No Way Up. Asi iri bhaisikopo rebhajeti rakaderera rinokwira pamusoro pechikara chayo chakapfekwa muchitoro here kana kuti kunyura pasi pehuremu hwebhajeti rayo rinopfupika?

Kutanga, iyi firimu zviri pachena kuti haisi padanho reimwe firimu yakakurumbira yekupona, Society of the Snow, asi zvinoshamisa kuti hazvisizvo sharknado kana. Iwe unogona kutaura yakawanda yakanaka nhungamiro yakapinda mukuigadzira uye nyeredzi dzayo dziri pamusoro pebasa racho. Iyo histrionics inochengetwa padiki padiki uye zvinosuruvarisa zvakafanana zvinogona kutaurwa nezve kufungidzira. Hazvirevi kudaro No Way Up chinwiwa chisina kusimba, pane zvakawanda pano kuti urambe uchiona kusvika kumagumo, kunyangwe maminetsi maviri ekupedzisira achigumbura kumiswa kwako kwekusatenda.

Ngatitangei zvakanaka. No Way Up ine zvakawanda zvekuita zvakanaka, kunyanya kubva mukutungamira kwayo Sophie McIntosh anoridza Ava, mukunda wagavhuna akapfuma ane moyo wendarama. Mukati, ari kunetsekana nendangariro yekunyura kwaamai vake uye haambove kure nemuchengetedzi wake mukuru Brandon akatamba nekushingairira nanny. Colm Meaney. McIntosh haazvidzikisire kuhukuru hweB-bhaisikopo, akazvipira zvizere uye anopa kuita kwakasimba kunyangwe zvinhu zvacho zvakatsikwa.

Imwe inomira ndeye Nyasha Nettle achitamba Rosa ane makore gumi nemaviri ari kufamba nasekuru nasekuru vake Hank (James Carol Jordan) naMardy (Phyllis Logan) Nettle haideredze hunhu hwake kusvika pakati pepakati. Anotya hongu, asi anewo mamwe mazano uye mazano akanaka pamusoro pekupona mumamiriro ezvinhu.

Will Attenborough anotamba Kyle asina kusefa wandinofungidzira kuti aivepo kuti asununguke, asi mutambi wechidiki haambofa akabudirira kushatirisa hutsinye hwake, saka anongouya seafa-akachekwa archetypical asshole akaiswa kuti apedzise akasiyana ensemble.

Anotenderedza vatambi ndiManuel Pacific anoridza Danilo mushandi wendege anove mucherechedzo wehutsinye hwaKyle hwehungochani. Kudyidzana uku kunonzwa kunge kwechinyakare, asi zvakare Attenborough haasati agadzirisa hunhu hwake zvakakwana kuti abvumire chero.

Kuenderera mberi nezvakanaka mufirimu ndiwo maitiro anokosha. Chiitiko chekuparara kwendege, sezvavanogara vari, inotyisa uye ndeyechokwadi. Director Claudio Fäh haana kubhadhara mari mubazi iroro. Wakambozviona zvese, asi pano, sezvo uchiziva kuti vari kurovera muPacific zviri nani uye kana ndege yarova mvura unoshamisika kuti vazviita sei.

Kana dziri shark dzinonakidza zvakaenzana. Zvakaoma kutaura kana vaishandisa mhenyu. Iko hakuna mazano eCGI, hapana mupata wekutaura nezvawo uye hove dziri kutyisidzira zvechokwadi, kunyangwe ivo vasingawane skrini yaungave uchitarisira.

Zvino nezvakashata. No Way Up ipfungwa huru pabepa, asi chokwadi chiri chinhu chakadai hachigone kuitika muhupenyu chaihwo, kunyanya nejeti rejumbo richirovera muPacific Ocean nekumhanya kwakadaro. Uye kunyangwe mutungamiriri akabudirira kuita kuti zviite sekunge zvinogona kuitika, pane zvakawanda zvinhu zvisingaite kana uchifunga nezvazvo. Underwater air pressure ndiyo inotanga kuuya mupfungwa.

Iyo zvakare inoshaya cinematic polish. Iine iyi yakatwasuka-kune-vhidhiyo inonzwa, asi mhedzisiro yacho yakanaka zvekuti haugone kubatsira asi kunzwa iyo cinematography, kunyanya mukati mendege yaifanira kunge yakasimudzwa zvishoma. Asi ndiri kuita pedantic, No Way Up inguva yakanaka.

Magumo acho haanyatso kurarama zvinoenderana neiyo firimu uye unenge uchibvunza miganhu yekufema kwevanhu, asi zvakare, ndiko nitpicking.

Yose zvayo, No Way Up inzira yakanaka yekupedza manheru uchiona bhaisikopo rinotyisa rekupona nemhuri. Kune mimwe mifananidzo ine ropa, asi hapana chakanyanya kushata, uye shark zviratidziro zvinogona kuve zvakapfava zvakanyanya. Yakatemerwa R pazasi.

No Way Up inogona kunge isiri iyo "inotevera hombe shark" bhaisikopo, asi mutambo unonakidza unokwira pamusoro peimwe chum inokandwa zviri nyore mumvura yeHollywood nekuda kwekuzvipira kwenyeredzi uye zvinotendwa zvakakosha mhedzisiro.

No Way Up yave kuwanikwa yekurenda pamapuratifomu edhijitari.
