Rarely I find a film so bad that I care to come here to bash it two weeks later. Now I did.
As noted, it is a repulsive film – but not because of the subject matter. It is repulsive simply as a piece of cinema. The production design is loathsome. The cinematography nobody would care to mention if it wasn’t B&W. The script is written by AI. (I remember also thinking that the sound design was horrible but luckily…
If this film helps to inspire effective sabotage against the carbon emitting infrastructure, it’s totally worth something. If not, it’s just a rather insignificant movie, offering easy-to-forget-though-not-totally-bad filmmaking.
If I had known that the only worthy thing about the film was its message (”we need sabotage”), I would rather have read the book. Or watched an Andreas Malm lecture on YouTube. Or just watched a better film, because I already agreed with the only point this film had to offer.
