7:11pm (2023)

Film review #589

Director: Chaitu Madala

SYNOPSIS: Ravi lives in the idyllic village of Hamsaladeevi. However, dark forces are working to sell off the village and turn it into a nuclear dump site. Meanwhile, in the future on a distant planet, the last hope of a dying planet is to go back in time to find the important research which can save them. Ravi is thrust right into the midst of all these problems as he seeks to save the village and everyone...

THOUGHTS/ANALYSIS: 7:11pm is a 2023 Telugu sci-fi film. The film centres around the idyllic Indian village of Hamsaladeevi, where Ravi lives. However, evil businessmen are in the process of trying to sell off the village and turn it into a nuclear waste dump. Meanwhile, in the future of a distant planet, the human inhabitants require knowledge from the past to save their planet, and must send someone back in time to Ravi's village to find it. As you can tell, there's a lot of different plots swirling around throughout the film: some ranging from the typical romance and corrupt businessmen as you find a lot in Telugu cinema, to some science-fiction elements which are less common. The mash-up of different story elements is very much unbalanced, and things only come together at the last minute, with some plot elements being absent for the majority of the film. The script definitely needed winding back on it's ambition to just do seemingly everything. The science-fiction element doesn't offer much, and it feels very similar to Back to the Future, and you're never going to beat Back to the Future on it's own turf, and are always going to come off as a cheap imitation. The film could probably have cut out the whole "future aliens" thing and it would have made it flow better immediately.

The film is split into distinct parts, with the outset establishing Ravi's character and the village, and then Ravi being sent to the future (and Australia, for some reason), and finally, the finale where Ravi goes back and basically fixes everything. These different parts just don't really connect to each other, with the chunk of the film being set in Australia in the future (of 2024) just having very little to do with anything, and could probably be it's own film). The climax feels very rushed, as everything is hurriedly pieced together and the plot jumps to each little point to deal with it before quickly moving on to the next one. The different elements lack the depth necessary to leave any kind of impact.

The acting and performances in the film are decent enough and without issue. The special effects aren't groundbreaking, but serve their purpose. One thing that might stand out is that there's a fair amount of violence and graphic gore, the scenes in which it is present just don't seem to match the rest of the film. It has a few twists and turns which are mildly interesting, but 7:11pm lacks coherence and appropriate pacing to handle the sheer volume of ideas and plot elements it wants to string together. Messy, but has some momentum to it, even if it lacks direction.

Orange Tangerine Thing

Location: The Guild Inn

Price: free at the bar because i’m a plus one at a weddinggggg!!!!! I love being plus one at weddings because you don’t need to talk to anyone and there’s food!!! you just have one job and it’s emotional support for the person who brought you so they don’t feel bad sitting alone!! and when they’re talking with someone else you don’t have to interact with anyone if you don’t want to!!!! because you don’t have the obligation of familiarity!!!!

The bartender told me and I didn’t really hear all of it and wasn’t bothered to clarify

It’s niiiiuiceeeee. Sweet, because I asked for whatever you’ve got as long as it’s nonalcoholic and sweet. I already have champagne so. Definitely tangy. It’s got a really distinctive … slushie/shaved ice in a carnival or theme park flavour? I can’t really… like, the blue lime drink - lime! Yeah that’s it. The flavour is crystal clear and entices you in for another sip.

[bluescreenexe]

would it be a stretch to say i think that somehow, rick prime is going to trap rick c-137 somewhere. and that i think he's going to return to the smith household posing as rick c-137. and that since rick c-137 replaced prime, prime is going to replace him back. do you think. do you think this is a possibility

do you think he's going to try and fuck everything up for c-137. do you think he's going to ruin everything rick has made for himself. am i going crazy or do you see my point
