What Happened to Monday

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.

What's even better than a movie with Noomi Rapace? A movie with seven Noomi Rapaces. And while the movie is original, quirky, gimmicky, funny, and surprising, I won't be mad at it for the few moments that just made me raise my eyebrows in amazement (typical example – the microwave sprays and how it takes exactly one minute for them to explode).

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? (2018-02-03)

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.

At first glance, an attempt at something fresh and new, plus drawing on the tried-and-true, with a repressive regime like Hunger Games and angular futuristic cars like The Island. It can be argued that the visual opulence is a bit low-key and that 2073 looks more like 2037, but what can be done for half the budget of a major blockbuster? The B-movie casting (with the exception of two names) is also hard to disparage. Unlike Glenn Close, who is off, Noomi Rapace does a good job again. Firstly, as an action heroine against her will and secondly, portraying 7 different characters is probably not very easy, plus the fact that only Charlize Theron can play such a physical role of a "male heroine" today. Except for the last 20 minutes we have a pretty decent mix of Bourne and something with a gloomy social post-apocalyptic atmosphere. The ending is botched and the twist predictable. (2017-10-26)
