Movie Reviews of Instinct
Movie Review: Review of Instinct
Summary: 5 Stars
A great movie that was done injustice by the critics. I think the critics saw this movie as somewhat of a clone of "Silence Of The Lambs". Anthony Hopkins plays another "psycho" and maybe they thought he should try some new roles. He has, but he plays the "psycho" role better than anyone else and I'd like to see some more movies where he plays a lunatic. The story is great and very entertaining. From this movie, we learn some lessons about human culture. Men are controllers and tyrants. They take what they want and do what they want without thinking or realizing what the consequences may be. This can be applied to many things from the destruction of the rain forests, without regard to animals, to the depletion of the ozone layer to further industrialization to nuclear war. Suspenseful, educational, entertaining. All together a great movie!Movie Review: Exceptional movie
Summary: 5 Stars
A powerful movie. Thought provoking, emotional. It touched my heart. You can't watch this movie thinking about the accomplishments of the stars Anthony Hopkins and Cuba Gooding Jr. or compare their performances in other movies. You'll miss it. You have to focus on the story and the characters. Look past the impeccable grooming of Anthony Hopkins as a prisoner. After all prisoners don't have much to do. May be that's what he does to past time. Gooding seemed to be overacting, but that's what the part required, an ambitious psychiatrist trying to make a name for himself. Even after he becomes involved his training as a psychiatrist persisted. After all it's hard to give up what has taken us so long to learn. This movie isn't trying to teach us something; it's presenting ideas for us to think about.Movie Review: Best movie in years! This film moved me..
Summary: 5 Stars
"Instinct" is one of the greatest films I've seen in a LONG time. Anthony Hopkins has long been one of my favourite actors but I believe this was his best performance. There's one simple way to tell if a movie is a classic.. if you go away taking a piece of the movie and its message with you. And for me, that was one of "Instinct's" finest qualities. I was moved by the way they got the message through involving Hopkins and the Gorillas. The truth within that brought a million emotions out that were inside me. (btw I am an Animal Rights Activist and Vegan) I'm so glad that the movie touched on the subject of humans destroying helpless animals' families and environment. It's a subject that needs to be brought to the forefront more often. A+++ Movie.. a MUST SEE!Movie Review: Out of the box
Summary: 5 Stars
A superb flick. I have recommended it to a number of friends. This is a movie the makes you look at life and ultimately yourself. In my experience, few like what is seen. For those that think outside the box, this is a good thing. You've the oppurtunity to act upon this new insight. In such cases, 'Instinct' becomes more than just another trip through Hollywood; shifting instead into a life altering event.
If you have not seen it, then I suggest you do so; BUT(always a but), go in prepared to give some heavy thought to what the movie has to say. This is no 'Matrix' which stuns you with it's special affects. 'Instinct' is a movie of the mind. One can view it as such or (more than likely) be disappointed.
Movie Review: Great film, possibly misunderstood
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought this was a truely great film that was possibly mis-interpreted, judging by the condemnation it has received in some of these reviews. I would agree that if this film were solely about the 'takers/leavers' theme, it would be a little shallow, but there were a lot more deep and relevant themes that were touched upon in this film. In particular, the fact that AH's character was accepted not as one of the gorillas but as a human. I thought this was a great way of showing contempt for the way that human society tries to manipulate everyone into having particular beliefs and ideals rather than accepting different cultures. This film presents nature untouched by humans and thus indiscriminate.
