Siete hermanas

Una película en la que el temprano asesinato del «protagonista» solo pone en marcha todo. Excelente ciencia ficción con una idea sobre la que construir un arco dramático de emoción, sorpresa y suspense constante. Además de una acción espectacular. Un mundo distópico con un sistema totalitario que llega a la monstruosidad fascista. Unos malos fuertes liderados por el inquietantemente genial Glenn Close, su «perfecto general de las SS» y la espectacularidad de los miembros del escuadrón. La situación estancada de las protagonistas, magníficamente interpretadas por Noomi Rapace. Gore y sexo. ¡Tommy Wirkola se metió a todos sus colegas de género en el bolsillo! P.D. No doy una quinta estrella solo por la conclusión poco verosímil e innecesariamente complicada. (25.12.2021)

One of those dystopian sci-fi flicks with many aspects that deserve criticism. But thanks to the premise and to how well it is made, you will quickly forgive all its shortcomings and you will enjoy the overcrowded world that a female dictator is trying to regulate. Noomi Rapace’s acting performance is out of this world. Probably similar to James McAvoy’s work in Split last year. I would never have thought that a single actress could create a different set of emotions for each of the seven characters that she plays in this film. It’s pretty clear she is in charge of this sci-fi movie. And since she is a pleasure to behold, it is a pleasure to watch the entire movie as well. (07.12.2017)

The idea was good, but it was handled reprehensibly. The whole plot and the twist were as embarrassing as Glenn Close's botox. The only thing keeping it afloat is Noomi’s performance, but unfortunately she tried her best in a crappy movie. The last quarter of an hour is like a bad parody, does anyone still enjoy these copycat movie endings? (03.02.2018)

Wirkola finished it to the best of his ability given the situation, even though having seven Noomis on the set feels like a headache, and sometimes the acting with no one opposite can be felt. It's a pity that Botkin and Williamson made such a sparse and sour jumble out of the full substance, whose logic the director had to save with B-movie excesses (amusing ones, though). Overall, it's such a bizarre mix of Equilibrium, the new Total Recall with a second infusion from Minority Report and Children of Men. But to its detriment, it's about as intelligent as the former. So, a logical strainer with a head shot. If you don’t get the point an hour in advance, you belong in a cryo chamber. This should have been written by Andrew Niccol. As an evening sedative, it’s OK.

The rating is based solely on the fact that every minute of the relatively generous run was a lot fun (which, by the way, is the most important thing when watching a movie). And also despite the fact that every twist can be seen a mile away, and that this dystopian sci-fi flick is as intelligent as you can expect from the director of the zombie splatter Dead Snow and Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters.
