Seven Spirits of Patmos

Windstruck Review

Sound:

The soundtrack of the movie was good. I was amaze of how Korean singers sing English songs. Though the voice quality of the singers is not so nice but they have connected it to the movie that makes the movie more effective. Sound are very important in a movie, its one of the most important elements in producing good quality movie and what’s good in the Windstruck movie is they have these different genre of music to fit their scenes. I really love that jolly song when they play in the rain, and they also made a slow and dramatic version of that song that really fit the mood during the river scene. [8/10]

Cast and Crew:

They have done a good job in finding a powerhouse cast for the movie. The tandem of Jeon and Jang Hyuk was really good, they have their chemistry. The tandem was really nice because the two of them fit comedy and drama as well. And what’s good about the movie was they have focused more in the character and the story unlike the Filipino movie that continually add characters that made confusion for the viewers. [9/10]

Genre:

I really find the genre cute, its comedy drama. It was really amazing when at first it was more comedy but at the end it became dramatic. The first part was really funny; it makes the audience to ask for more. The ending scenes were a little boring, but overall its fine because they have still catch the attention of the audience. [8/10]

Storyline:

All I can say is that the storyline of the movie was really great. How they create the story, the plots, the conflicts and the twist it was really amazing. It was really fantastic that they keep the audience going to crave for more. All the things was great except for some little things like when the girl tell the story about her twins, its like why did they have to tell the story of the girl’s twin sister, all I thought that there was something in there that is connected to the story. It has a little connection because it tells why the girl don’t play the black keys in the piano but the story about the twin was too long that it seems to have a significance in the story but at the end it looks like an adlib only. But other than that, the movie was great I even love the story of why people use their pinkies in making promises. HAHA it’s really funny, because the story was so long. What’s good in the movie is that they give the audience a clue that there can be a sequel. [9/10]

Special Effects:

I think this really the area that the movie lacks or should I say have many faults. Like in the raid-scene, the girl have a gun that have a 6 bullet capacity, then when the action comes she continually makes more than 6 shots without reloading, it’s like she have a instant reloader or something like that which makes the scene not so convincing. I really don’t like the effects in the ending part (the part where the boy bids his last goodbye to the girl because it’s his 49^th day), it’s like there were too much light in the room, I know that it suppose to have lights but not too much I think. The background (the cloud thingy) was really not so good, it’s like they put it for to-have-background sake. I think they should improve on visual effects but other than that the movie was great. [3/10]
