time of the comet is terrible. horrible. terrible

Time of the Comet is a movie set in Albania at the beginning of WWI, and sees a small group of Albanian villagers as they travel to meet the newly crowned King of Albania (a German King) and pledge their allegiance to him - all this so that they fight the armies of the Ottoman Empire. It also makes it the most expensive movie that any Albanian has produced (it cost around 2.5milion Euros) But this "Time of the Comet" movie made me want to puke in its first 10mins and me and nita had to leave earlier because I could not take it anymore. Another friend of ours could not take it either.

The script/screenplay is unbelievably dumb+lifeless; the lines that actors say are vague/fake, and even in the most serious of dialogues, the audience was made to laugh,
the lead actor was more concerned with the looks than the way he acted/talked; there was no story line, although the historical story was rich in itself, but they've devoured any meaning of it; but the scenery and the camera shoots were ok.

the movie was dull, empty, stupid, pathetic.
at moments it seemed like one of those badly dubbed turkish movies.

There was a large audience, and the air conditioning was not working properly. It reminded me of the awful school excursions where you were trapped in a dirty bus seat, sweat all around and you could not escape the crumpy TV playing turbo-folk videos of yester-years new year festivities.




I want my 3euros back, please.
Thank you.
