Traquée

Un film de série B stupide, clone de La guerre des mondes et de Matrix, doté d’un budget conséquent. Les premiers contacts avec l’extraterrestre sont corrects, mais petit à petit, les expressions inappropriées de la protagoniste et les absurdités manifestes commencent à s’accumuler. Et à la fin, au lieu de sauver la médiocrité généralisée du scénario avec une idée quelconque, le film se retrouve avec une chute ridicule qui semble avoir été conçue par quelqu’un n’ayant vu que deux films dans sa vie (ceux mentionnés plus haut). Même les extraterrestres ne sont pas originaux. (02/10/2023)

This film is a lot smarter than it looks. Everything that puzzles you makes sense in the end, the absence of dialogue is not some kind of artistic mannerism, and the “normal” appearance of the aliens is certainly not unimaginative. No One Will Save You is a very similar experience to Nope, but doesn't copy it. Brian Duffield, like Jordan Peele, has his own ideas and his own vision, so original that he can afford to quote Close Encounters of the Third Kind and, at one point, even The Shining, without it having an undesirable comparative effect. I was rooting for Kaitlyn Dever from start to finish - she can say so much without words. (24/09/2023)

Pretty meh in the end. A rather skillful genre exercise with the most bland looking alien you can imagine. The interchangeable trauma subplot shouldn't have been there at all, or should have been in a more ambitious film. It just stalls the flow and then downright kills the finale. I also rated last year's Nope by Jordan Peele with only three stars, but the creativity of the execution of those traditional UFO/ALIEN themes was completely different there. 5/10 (almost at **) (22/09/2023)

A likeable alien abduction Invasion. A month ago, the trailer for No One Will Save You pleasantly shocked me and promised a new Sci-Fi horror flick, which it didn’t deliver, but it's definitely a decent genre addition and since we get very few of these alien genre flicks, the film certainly doesn't offend. The film hinges on the likeable Kaitlyn Dever fighting alone against an alien invasion, which thankfully picks up very quickly and has a lot to offer. The craftsmanship is up to par, the music and cinematography are decent, the atmosphere is slightly uncomfortable in a few scenes, the look of the aliens is traditional, but that's exactly the look I like (too bad she didn't kill off more of them). I didn't mind that there is hardly any talking, at least everything moves forward quickly and there is no room for boredom. The finale is a bit meh and deprived the film of a 4th star, as it had a solid path to it. I liked Nope a bit more, but this definitely doesn't put the Sci-Fi genre to shame. 6/10. (01/10/2023)
