I like science. I like learning about science of all kinds, and the people involved in making and doing those science things. So last night I decided to watch Radioactive, the Amazon film that was billed as a biopic of the famous physicist Marie Curie.
I didn't quite make it to the 30 minute mark. Marie Curie was presented as a person with the social skills, attention span, and emotional maturity of a 12 year old boy. In fact, the entire POV of the movie felt like it was made through the gaze of that 12 year old boy. Jerky scene cuts. No continuity. No character motivation. The sets were either grey or just too damned dark since the average 12 year old boy could easily confuse dim sets for actual, you know, skill in directing, acting, and editing. Marie Curie was uptight and buttoned up until the gratuitous nudity and sex scenes. All in all, a waste of time for an adult looking for a well-told story about an interesting historical figure.
