Movie Reviews of Iceman
Movie Review: the classic iced caveman film....
Summary: 5 Stars
...this has to be one of the best 'caveman' films ever made. it has dated in a few places - notably 'computer game' entertainment (but hey it is set in a base in antartica, maybe they're a bit behind!!) but otherwise it stands up very solidly. Fred Schepisi directs it incredibly well with awesum photography and pace. The real win is Hutton and Lone - their performances are (i think) the best of both their careers! John Lone's make up is on the Neandertal side of cro magnon but realistic and captivating, only enhancing an electric performance. Timothy Hutton is brilliant as the misunderstood anthropologist and the cast around them is outstanding.
Overall a great example of what to expect should we ever discover an iced caveman: scientific arguements, trivial executive powerplays, moral ethics vs medical ethics, privacy abuses, and political/social mindgames! very reminiscent of the situation with Otzi the 'real iceman' whos frozen body was found in the swiss/french Alps.
A thought provoking film that hits its target - i recommend for all interested in our paleo history and our regression as a forward thinking civilization. top marks.
Movie Review: my best worst film
Summary: 5 Stars
ok, so everyone thinks it's a humane story, touching blah blah, but personally I only like it as it is the best worst film I have ever seen. The tenuosity of someone being able to thaw out after thousands of years and come alive, without the freezing of the water in every cell not rupturing it from the inside is usually saved for a more tongue in cheek comedy (caveman?). The beardy scientist who looks a bit neanderthal-esque is also a nice touch. But the highlight is the scene at the end with the 15 minute dialogue from a caveman who hasn't developed vocal chords (meaouu ugh ugh). I use this film as a benchmark for every other bad film I watch, and so far none have beaten it. can't wait to proudly have it in my collection.Movie Review: iceman
Summary: 5 Stars
very good movie to view and deals with alot of emotions on the treatment of a human being no mater what time period he came from. if you care for people and understand what the scientists were trying to do to help further science to help mankind.
you must remember a human being has rights in a modern society that has passed through alot of history of abuses of thouse rights. case point adolf hitler and the jewish people. there are always concequences for what society or one goverment thinks is for the betterment of man kind. this movie brings you to that point where it shows hes more human instead of a gini pig.
Movie Review: Excellent but little seen
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember seeing this movie back in high school and loved it. I've seen alot of caveman movies like Dinosaurus that was made in the 60's that was fun to watch but this was the most intellegent on made.It's been so hard to find on DVD. I haven't seen it in years. John Lone did a great job as the caveman. He also did a great job in The Last Emperor.Movie Review: Amazing performances
Summary: 5 Stars
I really felt that I was somehow witnessing what would really happen if we found a frozen caveman and were able to revive him. It's a truly unique experience and a pleasure to watch such realistic acting - which doesn't feel like "acting" at all - in such an "un-realistic" setting. It's fascinating and entertaining - I highly recommend it!
