Uranus 2324 (2024)

It’s not FreenBecky’s fault…

…it’s the writers’ and post production teams’.

[TL;DR, Spoiler free]
I commend FreenBecky’s improvement since GAP. I can see that their execution is good. They’ve internalized all of their characters so well and I love them for that!!! The action scenes AND THEIR CHEMISTRY are just *chef’s kiss* 🤌🏽🤌🏽

HOWEVER… the almost 3-hour movie just didn’t deliver for me. The time jumps were confusing and I felt that the conclusion was really rushed. I swear, the story flow were incomprehensible at times. It also didn’t balance the sci-fi and rom-drama genres.

————————————————————————————————————————————

[MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD!]

There are a lot of things that needs improvement:
- The sequencing shots of the parallel world travel confused me A LOT, especially when THERE’S LITERALLY THE SAME COLOR GRADING EXCEPT FOR KATH’S LAST TRAVEL (since it took place on the world war era)! If it wasn’t for my friend who also watched the movie with me (and for Kath and Lin’s wigs lol), I’d be lost at times. The contrast between the “worlds”/“eras” only has subtle differences and happens out of the blue, so you need to be more observant to connect the storyline.

Also, just when I was about to engage and symphatize with the leads in that parallel world, the scene just cuts! Just like that conclusion!

- The subtitles doesn’t match what they’re saying in English most of the time. It’s kinda frustrating. The lines that they’re saying (especially in English) sometimes doesn’t feel natural too.

- This isn’t a “sci-fi” movie (which the movie was advertised as). Y’all I was fooled by the movie poster. The movie had more shots around Kath’s diving career than Lin’s astronaut career.

- The CGI in that Tsunami part 😭

But I still liked the space scenes. It feels quite realistic and well produced! Some of the shots and visuals are stunning, too, especially Lin and Kath’s motorcycle scene. I swear, Freen and Beckbeck so far has the most oozing chemistry in all of the GL pairs I’ve watched. They’re also did fan service in this film. Like a lot.

FINAL THOUGHTS:
I still give the studio and the people behind this movie a big thumbs up for their efforts for breaking the stereotypic “romantic plot” movies. They still have a lot to improve, but the movie is a great start. I just hope that they hire better post prod team lol. But still watch it for Freen and Becky.

Powerful, emotionally resonant movie that leaves a lasting impression

A lot of people seemed to have mixed feelings about the movie, mainly complaining about either the plot or the acting. Honestly, I thought both were great. Some said the universes got all muddled and confusing, but I didn’t feel that way at all. Maybe I’m just simple minded, but for me, everything just clicked.
The story was honestly really good—super emotional and well thought out. Each universe the characters visited felt unique with its own distinct atmosphere and charm. As they moved through these different worlds, I really connected with what they were going through. The raw emotions they felt—especially the mix of desperation and deep love for each other—really hit me hard. It wasn’t just about the plot or the visuals; it was the real, raw emotion that got to me. By the end, I was so moved by their bond that I couldn’t help but cry.
The acting was, as always, amazing. Freenbecky never disappoints, and the chemistry between them was so strong. They brought so much heart to their roles, and it made it impossible not to feel what their characters were feeling. Their performances really added something special to the movie and made the story even more powerful.
That said, as much as I loved it, I think this is one of those films that’s probably best seen a couple of times. It’s so emotionally heavy that it might lose some of its magic on a second or third watch.
Overall, I think it’s a great movie. The characters' emotional journey and the way everything ties together really makes it a film that sticks with you long after it’s over.
