In my opinion,
The first half was amazing, the story was different, the screenplay was brilliant, there was just enough comedy to keep the movie running for harsh critiqs,
I for the first half alone would rate the movie
4.9/5
There were flaws, but just, movie magic really.
The movie was well above my expectations and touched hollywood level, surpassing most of them too!
This only fell down harsh after the second half. sadly.
Im not a liker of movies like this in general, thats why this review is just my opinion, ( the local audience loved it tho, so. everyone has a different liking)
The second half was more tamil and telegu film like. id say this half was faced more towards the younger and "Thalaivar" fans( im his fan too, but grew out of it)
A flashback was played from the perspective of the villain, and having a house full of birdss, it hit me. Right in the feels, I actually felt for him, tho he sounded like a lunatic, I felt his pain. I actually started to feel for a character. Gave me chills seeing his pain.
Chitti, also sees this but sees this in a more human way.(instead of "Omg kill humans", stop a few. Was his saying)
Where the second half flopped was when the main protagonist(dr. Vasi) gets pocessed and chitti couldnt do anything, this leads into 2.0, who invents 3.0(cool merchandise idea) and then fights the villain.
The only problem iss, there wasnt proper establishment of the 2.0 character
Me being an avid watcher of rajini films, saw the first movie for this, seeing that Shankar sir is a very good director, I was expecting more of a sequel than a different/same movie
2.0(evil bot) is the "alter"(opposite) of dr.vasi/chitti
His personality deems theres nothing and no one can stop him
Him and 3.0 teasing the death of the birds is just his character. This is something people didnt understandd and were upset about.
Now., the real reasons.
1.Shankar sir should have shown something to indicate that the role of Nila has done a backup security measure to 2.0 to deactivate it(ejection of said drive) .
Without this, (lemme rephrase, without this hint) the end of the movie seemed very forced
The story in the second half seemed too contradicting, there was no pure emotion apart from the villains flashback. It was just action, and I personally didnt like it
Forced romance inbetween AI
Sure they were said to have feelings, but their logic would have said better. The villain had a soul. The bots didnt. They have an OS and an AI, which doesnt tend to make decisions on feeling in general
This makes them too human like and less robot like.
Since when did everyone become bulletproof?
During the climax. You cannot possibly live through that, with 2.0 spraying and praying with never ending riffles, you would die during or after cuz of structural damage.
Where did the bullets come from?
I only saw one clip for each gun, which would. At that rate, for that gun. Would have ended in 7-10 seconds of holding the trigger.
Im overstepping and taking this action blockbuster for too much reallife logic
Honestly. Just watch the damn movie, its amazing
First half, 9.5/10. Easily
Second half, 7/10.(Based on personal opinion)
9.5/10 visuals
8/10 story
8/10 screenplay
9.5/10 action
Overall, 8.5/10
One of the best films ive watched in the past year
