[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 414788, member: 8"] FALL (2022) [ATTACH type="full"]55027[/ATTACH] Talk about taking Covid-rules to the extreme (or had the pandemic already ended in 2022?) "Fear reaches new heights" only applies to the viewer, not the fearless characters who willingly ignore all the bad signs and take a huge risk in what seems a rather unprofessional climbing activity, not to mention the stunts they perform in order to get more likes for their youtube video. It simply defies all common sense and that's why FALL looks like nothing more than a theme park attraction made into a film. It sure does the trick in the first part (going up) and I wouldn't have the courage to watch it in 3-D, but once things go wrong and the film becomes a survival story it loses a lot of that effect. I guess because the characters take the fear away from me. Oddly enough this proves that the film works best in its most stupid moments (and wasn't there any risk of severe sunburn?) The many warnings are almost comical: "no trespassing - danger of DEATH!", the vultures (admittedly, very well used throughout the film), the rattling construction and the cliché close-ups of screws unscrewing à la Final Destination. There is an attempt to inject some logic into the story and it certainly helps that the characters are likeable enough, and perhaps it all connects with the suicide attempt in the first part of the film. There is a surprise twist that wasn't a surprise anymore because I had already seen it on youtube, but it still looked creepy and dramatic enough. The ending was too abrupt for my taste and I would have liked to see [ISPOILER]how she got rescued. By helicopter?[/ISPOILER] I have no idea how the film was made but I'm pretty sure it wasn't filmed "on location", as it were. It must have been a lot work to edit the actors into the special effects, or vice versa. I'm not sure how to rate a film like this. For the most part it's nothing but unadulterated stupid fun, and I just happened to be in the mood for it. [/QUOTE]
