FeedsTomorrow I’m going to see the 2 of the big summer films – in one trip. These being The Day After Tomorrow and Troy.
To ‘prepare’ I picked up Helen of Troy from my unwatched DVD pile. This was a 2-part miniseries made in America last year. It was passable, but Helen (supposedly the most beautiful woman in the world) was not exactly ravishing. The ’state-of-the-art’ CGI was something I’d expect from 5 years ago, as for the number of slowed-down/speeded-up shots…. The acting was awful from 90% of the cast, and during one scene where the world stops moving except for 2 characters (Helen and Menelaus) – I saw 2 actors blink, 3 arms move and 1 grimace.
Not exactly top-notch entertainment.
Hopefully Troy will be much better.
