Apparently this is classified as an Epic Fantasy Romance.
The overall story wasn’t too bad, but it was a little to predictable and a little too symetrical
Warning Spoilers:
She gains her special powers of longevity by surviving a car crash on a snowy night and having her body temperature descend to a very specific level. She loses them in exactly the same way.
As I said very predictable.
It was also very predictable to me that she was going to meet someone who recognized her from her past. In fact I was sat in the cinema thinking that that was pretty much what would have to happen next.
Overall not too bad a story, but not really one for the collection
Apparently this is being considered as a Christian historical movie and I suppose there are a fair number of christian overtones.
Looks as if the movie was put together by the members of a single family rather than one of the big studio’s.
The movie felt a little slow in places, but the story was good. It felt a little like Zorro meets the count of Monte Cristo, the hero trying to redeem himself in the eyes of his girlfriend, leaves some things a little bit too long
Some of the dialogue felt a little stilted, it seemed to be there as an excuse for them to press on with the next bit of the story.
While I am more than willing to accept the idea that electricity was as common as depicted in the 1776, I struggle to see how the baddie could have prepared so many thick cables going through the water of the canal and leading to the cellar of every house in Philidelphia.
*ding dong*
‘Hello yes?’
‘Hi, I’m the bad guy. I just need to put these harmless looking barrels in your cellar!’
‘Oh right, go ahead.’
All in all, not too bad a movie
