Review of Pompeii (2014) by Schuback — 07 Mar 2016
A movie that cast B-class actors, that revolves around a C-class story, has D-class cgi. Overall an E-class movie. There's no air about the main character, he doesn't look prominent (I get it he's a slave).. you know when you look at him he's no star as he look kinda generic. Sorry Kit. Sasha Roiz plays Proculus, a high ranking officer but I can't take him seriously cos he looks so much like comedian Ryan Stiles =/.
Next, that token Black character (Atticus) is so unnecessary and it's very cheesy to watch how the director wants to force screen time on how Atticus is righteous and brave, saving the citizens, being strong blablabla, the brotherhood (or gayness whatever) between Black and White characters omg... WE GET IT, OK?
And the final 'epic' scenes where the city around them collapses.. The cgi.... what the f is this? The chambermaid falling into the void...The chariot chase in the burning ruins, they're sooo FAKE!!!! lol. It's laughable! It really is.
Guys, this is a terrible movie, A terrible terrible movie!! +1 for the effort. -9 because of the epic fail.
