My Movie Review: The movie is such a good watch for anyone who has not seen the critically acclaimed HBO miniseries that sets the bar high emerged as the top-rated television show on IMDb, beating out the likes of Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad, it is the only show with a 9.6 rating- putting actors-- Stellan Skarsgard and Jared Harris in a still from HBO's Chernobyl:) Chernobyl 1986 on the other hand is widely acclaimed for it's accuracy, and many of the major inaccuracies are labelled and addressed in the last parts, some of it is of course dramatized, but how the Soviet union responded to the crisis; what caused the explosion and in what order the events transpired is well represented' such a high marks for backdrop and characterization! Chernobyl 1986 focuses on the personal life of a fictional character who plays a major role in containing certain aspects of the disaster the story reveals our protagonist Alexey, a firefighter, who struggles with tough life' still he's good at his work but has his own personal battle to face! The movie looks good and the set pieces particularly when the firefighters are at the nuclear plant are really well shot but this is not a feel-good flick, yet aesthetically it is an outstanding film with thoughtful use of color, brilliant visual storytelling, and chilling images as boy up-close!
Movie News: Chernobyl 1986 Netflix Movie Review – From Russia with Flaws The word masterpiece gets thrown around a lot but 2019’s Chernobyl lives up to that title. Gripping, suspenseful and absolutely dread-inducing, the six-part series accurately and comprehensively broke down this disaster. So how do you top that? The answer is, you don’t. Fast forward two years and Russian movie Chernobyl 1986 only reinforces how true this statement. With a laborious pace, a lackluster romance and some so-so action set pieces, 1986 essentially uses the Chernobyl disaster as a backdrop for his whirlwind romance with Olga. Alexey is known to bail when things get tough, he shows up drunk and even forces himself on her at one point. And this is the protagonist of our story. But don’t worry, he soon turns into an aspiring action hero who can do it all. We then skip forward two months as Olga takes a backseat and Alexey is given the lion’s share of the screen-time. He teams up with his fellow firefighters as disaster strikes at Chernobyl. The Reactor blows Alexey joins his comrades on the frontlines, Alexey manages to survive with minor radiation burns, eventually going on to volunteer as one of the brave liquidators tasked with trying to stop the disaster from spiraling out of control. The film’s pace is pretty poor, with many scenes dragging on for far too long. Unfortunately, this means there’s little in the way of impending dread or suspense for large swathes of the movie overall:(
