Chapter 340: INITIAL MOVIE REVIEWS

KRISTIN KIRKWOOD – one of the movie critics invited to the premier of [The Sleeping God] – stared at her monitor screen. She was supposed to write a review for the movie. It had already been two hours since she returned from the premier and yet she still hadn’t managed to write a word.

It’s not because the movie was very complicated that’s why he couldn’t find the words to describe it. No, rather, it’s very straightforward and formulaic. Just like any other movies of Director Trevane, the cinematography was outstanding and the special effects were almost at the level of reality. It also had the right amount of drama and humor to make the audience interested.

The cast also did a fantastic job portraying the role given to them. The four protagonists had great chemistry, the villain was also very charismatic. Even the supporting roles did they job well.

Despite the seemingly hopeless situation, everyone still had a happy ending. After the god and the demon king disappeared, the former used all his divine power to revive and heal all the humans who perished after he woke up from his slumber. Not only that, even the love line between Keith and Eleanor was successfully connected at the end.

Happy endings were a must in a commercial film that wasn’t really aiming for awards. Its goal was just to get as much money as they could get from people. Thus, it’s important to let the audience be satisfied. What couldn’t be more satisfying than for everyone to get a happy ending after experiencing life-threatening ordeals?

The problem was, even with that, Kristin still felt a bit of dissatisfaction from the movie. And she knew the source of it. The ending of Lord Aether and the demon king just didn’t sit well with her.

She wanted a different kind of ending for the two. Many others probably felt the same. But all of them knew that with the way the story was woven, that was actually the best ending for the two. Still. She couldn’t help but want more.

And she knew that the source of this feeling was the way the actor playing Lord Aether played the role. At first, one might think that this role didn’t really need that much emotion. But that was not the case at all. In order for this role to work, the acting should have layers.

The indifference and apathy should only be the outer layer then the inner one should be a mixed of all complicated emotions. And the actor playing Lord Aether perfectly acted that role.

On the outside, he appeared to be just a god who didn’t care much about anything. But his gaze told a different story. His real feelings were reflected in those obsidian black eyes in a very subtle manner.

It was not something that was very in your face. But even the densest person wouldn’t truly feel that the Lord Aether they’re watching didn’t care about anything. And that was because the actor made it that way.

Frankly speaking, that was truly an amazing feat. Especially since the one playing the role of Lord Aether was a rookie actor.

Astrid Townsend. That was his name.

Kristin heard it from some of the audience in the premier after the movie ended. Once she returned home, she immediately searched for information about him. There was only few information but it was enough.

A newcomer signed at Polaris with Ellis Payne as his agent, not to mention a beautiful appearance and a talent in acting. He surely had everything in hand to succeed in this industry. As evidence, it hadn’t been long since he made his debut and yet his followers in his [Cyberspace] account was almost reaching a million.

This movie would surely alleviate his status in the industry. And if he didn’t fumble along the way, his future would definitely be as splendid as the millions of stars in the Empire’s sky.

And this was the first step. Kristin was feeling a bit proud that she was there to witness it.

Now, with all her thoughts in order, she was finally able to write the review she needed to write.

=====

[Kristin Kirkwood v: The latest movie of Director Trevane is an entertaining film filled with drama, adventure, friendship, and a drizzle of humor. The actors chosen perfectly fit their roles, bringing more life to the movie. The cinematography and special effects were top-notched, as expected of Director Trevane.

But with the highs, there would definitely be lows. I wouldn’t expound much about this since this is a spoiler free review. But I’ll just say that the lows didn’t really overshadow all the good things about the movie.

And one more thing, to everyone who will watch the movie tomorrow, prepare to be surprised by the beautiful sleeping god.

Final score: 9/10 stars.]

=====

Similar reviews from other movie critics and vloggers popped up once the premier ended. Since the official release of the movie was tomorrow, a lot of people became curious.

The movie was already getting a lot of attention because of the director and the cast. Reading favorable reviews about it ahead of the official release definitely put the people’s mind at ease. At least they knew that the tickets they bought wouldn’t be wasted.

But one thing that made them even more curious was the fact that a lot of the reviews released mentioned the ‘god’ in the movie. Since the title of the movie was [The Sleeping God], there’s definitely someone who would play the role of ‘god’. And now, those movie critics kept mentioning this ‘god’.

So, people started to wonder if some big star made a cameo in the movie. That was their conclusion. Little did they know that the one they would see in the theater was not some big star.

Instead, it was a newcomer who most of them didn’t even know. But one thing’s for sure. After this movie, they would definitely remember the name ‘Astrid Townsend’.
