Planetarium Audience Reviews

Tacticalin An absolute waste of money
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
catschasemice9594 I made it through this movie only to ask myself "why" at the end. The script is unfocused and never seems to develop a coherent theme. There are two psychic sisters who link up with a Jewish film maker. The anti semitism in this film is hohum. The psychic portion is a soporific. Arrow jewelry and bobby pins are sprinkled throughout the film for some reason. The cinematographer must be in love with Portman since the best parts of this movie are of Nat in many guises. Planetarium is in French. The actors speak clearly and the dialogue is slow. Maybe that's why I stuck with it. A good chance to practice my language skills. I can't recommend this film.
scottamac Well.. How should I explain this with out giving away the Plot, wait what Plot? Here we have another Stupid boring Film About Rich French people.. sort of. The worst Medium story iv'e every seen in a film. The Acting was good, for what they had to work with. Natalie Port-man, Lily-Rose Depp, Emmanuel Salinger Did really well so I gave them 1 star each. I Personally thought that Lily-Rose Depp's Part as Kate, was the Most believable out of all the characters. The other Actors were fine, a lot of rich socialites getting drunk, and share holders getting bent out of shape. For the Most part, this Film just meandered along , no real twist and turns, don't even remember the music Score. It has the DUMBEST P.O.S ending I have ever seen for this type of film. Rated as a Drama, Fantasy Mystery? WTF? The Drama, a little over boiled, the Mystery was wondering when something was actually going to happen? So now the Fantasy part? ............................that's right, there is none, unless they considered that a fantasy like ending.. again STUPIDEST ending I've ever seen. it felt like this... ...okay folks we ran out of money... we have $158.00 left .. lets wrap it up. Don't waste your time with this film. The only reason I considered it was because I'm a Natalie Port-man Fan but this movie just didn't let her shine.( even though she tried real hard, seemed to me like the director wouldn't let her with that 40-50's cookie cutter starlet actress crap.) For Miss Depp, keeping an eye out for her future rolls. to see what she brings to the Screen.
tomdickson Planetarium (2016) This movie , similar to the directors 2013 "Grand Canal" tackles a worthy theme with mixed results. The former film main premise was the French nuclear industry workers plight, in Planetarium the fate of French Jewish entrepreneurs during WW2. Each film mixes some romance massages and the in the case of Planetarium a sub plot around trying to film paranormal experiences and a manipulative obsessed movie mogul. Sadly for this viewer neither of this filmmakers realisations manages to engage me sufficiently to care about the lead actors plight. In not being engaged with story (both written by this young director )they fail to reach a satisfactory conclusion.Planetarium has some big name actors held back by inadequate direction of a script which meanders around its themes. Added to this are large continuity errors (Portman lifts and coats hood and next cut she walking without) and technical clichés (sound boom in camera) . these things are overlooked in a compelling movie but stand out when the realization is so lacklustre. Planetarium is a large glossy production with excellent costumes and period rendition (WW2) these can not save the movies fate. Shame that budget might of made some really good movies.
GridoulovesTO So I guess it didn't help that with a cast like this my expectations where quite high. However I felt like there was a lot of cliché a lot of historical approximation about the second world war, the film crisis pre WWII that it felt a bit overdone, as if they didn't wanted to talk about it but did it.. to cover the all thing.. And that's kind of the issue here, I feel like the film was a bit all over the place like a person suffering from ADHD. Too many topics, issue, character... not enough development. The acting was great, the scenario was close to it too but something was off...something seemed too fake..like this scene where they go out celebrating the first snow of the winter " overdone and clearly..it was some feather and not snow(right??). Or maybe I didn't like it cause all the characters were lost or not found yet ( lily) and that situation seems not appealing to me... Give it a look and let me know about your experience.
