Les trois mousquetaires : D'Artagnan (2023)
Magnifique production francaise
Alexander Dumas was on my curriculum at College and why I showed an interest in fencing, so was very impressed with many of the brutal and gritty fights
Most of the versions that came before in English, certainly never achieved the Standard of this excellent adaptation and I wonder why it has not been attempted by the French so delicately and colourful in the past.
Ballroom shots of The Palace of Fontainebleau were atmospheric as were the many other grand chateaux.
Eva Green as Milady provides some glamour and returns in the sequel in December. You should never close a lengthy movie with "to be continued " especially as it was a crucial scene!
Mira (2022)
A disaster full of success.
A disaster movie yes, but certainly not a disaster to watch with unexpected plot twists and emotional panic as you think the end is nigh.
Special effects are perfectly created in the background, and they are good! It all merges around the cast. A cast of unknown actors who really are good enough so the disaster doesn't steal the screen.
As someone obsessed by space travel, I found the space station sequences so realistic I had to check to see if the ISS was still in orbit.
Well at a cost of nearly £6million it's production has a much sharper edge and excitement than most of those released in Hollywood and Korea.
