Interstellar

This was surprisingly good! I didn't expect to like this, possibly at all, but in the end I really enjoyed this. There were some parts that were really slow and a little bit boring, and the movie feels just as long as it is and at times seemed to never end. Some parts really surprising, but not enough to make me gasp. More of the 'oh? really?' -variety. I really liked the ending as well.

I love space things, but some of the science stuff went over my head. Didn't really change how much I enjoyed it, though. Some stuff I felt a little 'meh' about, but as a whole, I really liked this movie. Now, one more thing; please don't make a sequel.

The Imitation Game

Brilliant, amazing, and a little bit heart-breaking. Deserves every bit of the praise it has got. The acting performances are brilliant, and when the story starts going, the time jumps really make sense, after the initial thought of 'why?' I found the movie and story really interesting, and didn't feel bored or like my mind was wandering. I didn't think I would like it this much, because if I had known, I would have gone to see this in the cinema. But back then it didn't seem to be that great, don't ask me why. I was always interested in it, but just not enough I guess.

I'm going to watch it again some day, possibly soon, to really understand everything. And because it was just that good.

The Book Thief

The book was so much better. That was what kept coming to my mind since the beginning of the movie. I kind of wanted to stop watching, but decided to keep going just in case it got better. It didn't.

It probably would have been an okay-ish movie if I hadn't read the book. I don't know; I can't know. I didn't like how sometimes they spoke German, sometimes not, but English with an accent and with und, ja, and nein. The focus of the story was different, and the voice-over was weird and oddly placed. And it's probably entirely because I really really liked the book that I didn't enjoy the movie so much.
