Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
I had heard that this was awful, but nothing could prepare me for what I was about to view. I thought at least it could be "So bad it's good" but alas, no, it's "So bad it's bad" It just seems that part-way through the production they either gave up or didn't know where to take it. The story was peppered with plot holes and an abundance of terrible acting apart from performances from Tom Goodman-Hill, Martin Compston and Craig Conway.I'm not going to ramble on about this film as I think I've wasted too much time on it already.Avoid at all costs!!!
Please do not watch this film. I have just wasted what feels like 7 lifetimes of excruciating pain... this is the worst film, if it can be called that, that I have ever endured. It is awful, truly awful. It is so bad, i have created an IMDb account just to warn everyone. AVOID at all costs. By the way, i haven't included a spoiler, there isn't one. There is very little story. I still cannot believe that i sat through the whole thing.it starts off OK, well the first five minutes do. then it seems to fall off the edge of a cliff. if i had asked my 5 year old daughter to come up with a story, I think that she would have made a better job. as you may have guessed, I HATED THIS FILM. If you ignore me and watch it, I think you will hate it too.
Saw this in the cinema and loved it. It defies definition... so I'll try. It's about a soul on the brink of death, being passed from body to body and experiencing other possible existences. (But I could be wrong.) Performances are understated and true (I especially liked Kate Ashfield's); individual scenes viewed in isolation play like extracts from an intelligent TV drama. However the audience has to quickly abandon any attempt to be bound by pre-conceptions of Genre: this is the ultimate genre-buster! Disconcerting at first, then unexpectedly liberating. Great performances, engrossing tale. Recommended.
Hi, I really enjoyed 7Lives. Looks great, not like a low budget, 1st film. Loved the cast. I am only familiar with Danny Dyer, Kate Ashfield, and Martin Compston. I have seen the Doctor before but I can't place him just yet (I'll check IMDb). All of the other actors were good. I liked the story because it was smart and I couldn't predict what was going to happen, how refreshing. Some movies are unpredictable because the story doesn't make sense or too convoluted but that wasn't the case in this film. I am disappointed that the DVD didn't have a director's audio commentary. I buy/rent dvds of movies I really like and I learn so much from the commentary. Especially how much problem solving is involved in film-making: changing plans due to budget constraints, actors dropping out, limited time to shoot scenes, not being able to use certain equipment, etc. My compliments to you and the cast and crew. I am looking forward to your future work.
