Whilst the new Netflix movie 'Bright' starring Will Smith is far from perfect, there are enough ideas crammed into its running time to make it a decent watch and it is nowhere near the disaster the critics are making it out to be.
Similar in theme to the 1988 movie Alien Nation (this time involving Orcs & Elves instead of Aliens). The story tells of a world where humans and other fairy-tale creatures live side-by-side and much like today's racial tensions, the tensions exist between the different races. Things are not helped by Will Smith's character having to babysit the very first Orc (an unrecognisable Joel Edgerton) in the LAPD, something neither he or his department are happy with.
There then follows a standard 'chase' movie where our two mismatched heroes are forced to protect a 'magic wand' which is nothing like you have ever seen in a Harry Potter movie!
There are so many fresh ideas on show here that surely a TV series must follow, what is equally impressive is the quality of the production. For a movie released straight to Netflix this is no mean feat and potentially shows where the future of the movie industry is heading?
For a star as big as Will Smith to sign on, maybe like some of the characters on show here, he can see the future too.
Go check it out..
