Smartphone Highscreen Spade review

The company “Vobis Computer” novelty decided to call so that it is clear what you’re dealing with. Spade translated into English means “shovel”. And all it becomes clear that you are considering is not a small gadget, and “shovel” – a device with a large screen diagonal. Model Spade equipped with 5.5 “diagonal screen, and the body received a thickness of only 8.5 mm.


One of the interesting features of this unit is to provide an 8-core processor from MediaTek, 13/5 camera, and a pleasing appearance. However, the battery here… No, I will not continue to build upon, otherwise the review you will not read to the end. Well, at least with the price not to overdo it, however, it is also not as accessible as we would like.


Design, size, controls – Highscreen Spade


The device Highscreen Spade has quite a classic look modern smartphone: rectangular shape of the hull, sloping edge, large size, the plastic case and so on.


The design is, I think, Highscreen success, especially pleased with rounded glass Corning Gorilla Glass on the edges of the third generation: the finger slides smoothly from the sides of the gadget. Looks cool.


Despite the name “Shovel”, Spade perfectly in the hand due to the elongated body, sloping sides and a small thickness.


Smartphone Highscreen Spade review


By the way, about the size – 149x77x8,5 mm and weighs 158 grams device. It is not clear why such a weight, given that everything is made of plastic.


By the way, edging copper color – too plastic. Until recently, thought it was metal. Originally framed the back side. Of course, we’ve seen similar solutions, but not so much. In general, the cover is made of the texture of the skin. On the taste and color do not argue, but I like the way it is implemented in Highscreen Spade. It is better so than black glossy plastic.


With assembling everything is fine, there is a monolithic device, no creaks or backlash rear socket does not bend to the battery (Yeah, where there sang with anorexia battery).


In just a few weeks of use on the screen appeared only one shallow a scratch. Oleophobic coating is present, and if there are traces, then removed at a time. Finger smoothly and easily over the surface of glass slides.


Top center speaker is the voice. It is covered with a fine metal mesh. The volume is high, the interlocutor can hear clearly and legibly. Echo and other extraneous sounds not.


The right of the speaker – an indicator of missed events and front camera. Two sensors – light and proximity – to the left.


At the bottom end – micro-USB and microphone. Second microphone in the device, as I understand it, no.


Standard 3.5 mm audio jack for headphones – the top. No items left and right – the key, volume rocker and power button. Very easy to handle.


The camera lens is recessed into the body, flash and speaker are located on the back side of the gadget. To the speaker does not cover, the housing provided a small ledge on which rests the back cover.


Under the panels are microSIM, miniSIM, and microSD-slot.


Display – Highscreen Spade


This device uses a screen diagonal is 5.5 inches. The physical size – 68h121 mm top frame – 14 mm, bottom – 15 mm, left and right – of approximately 4 mm. There is anti-reflective coating.


Display resolution Highscreen Spade – HD, ie 720h1280 points, density – 267 pixels per inch. For 5.5-inch diagonal resolution is not the smallest, but already critical, pixelation, in principle, be visible, the picture is not very clear.


The maximum brightness of white color – 451 cd / m2, the minimum brightness white – 49 cd / m2 maximum brightness in black – 0.69 cd / m2. Contrast – 652: 1. The average gamma value – 2.4, the average temperature – 8700 K, but the maximum brightness level rises to 9200 K and to a minimum – to 9500 K.


Smartphone Highscreen Spade review


Judging from the chart, there is a distinct lack in red and an overabundance of blue. Judging from the color chart coverage is slightly higher than sRGB (green and blue).


Maximum viewing angles, but tilted slightly changes color: violet or yellow.


Behavior in the sun is excellent!


Battery


Are you ready to learn about the battery capacity? If you are standing, then sit down. This model uses a removable lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery capacity of 2100 mAh! Five and a half inches and 8 cores! I understand that reading is not much point on, however, things are not so sad: the machine is about a day if you use it is not very active. In my understanding, it is about 30 minutes a day, about 3 hours of continuous “Hughes» 3G-internet and 5 hours of Wi-Fi.


If you want to play, then expect about 1.5 hours at full brightness and full volume for output to the speaker.


Memory and memory card


This device is only 1 GB of RAM, 400 MB free. Internal memory too sparsely – 8GB Flash and is available about 6 GB. For example, in Highscreen ICE 2 two gig of RAM and 16 gigs of Flash. Cost and Options gadgets are about the same.


Camera – Highscreen Spade


The main module 13 MP (optics F2.2), the front module 5 MP (F2.4). The manufacturer claims that the main camera sensor – OmniVision OV 13850, and “Self” – OV 5648.


Smartphone Highscreen Spade review


Optics probably quite good (excellent luminosity, which draws most of the pictures), but the module is not the best. This is manifested in high level of detail in a sufficiently large number of colored noise. Video camera shoots in 1080p at 30 frames per second. As normal. Autofocus works for “tapas”. The sound is clear, but mono.


“Front camera” I definitely pleased: cool picture quality even at night. Good detail, correct white balance, accurate selection of exposure. However, the video she writes only in the resolution of 640×480 pixels, and the module, judging by the technical documentation must cope even with 1080p at 30 / s or 720p at 60 f / s.


Performance


This model uses a chipset MediaTek MT6592 – the first true eight-mobile CPU: 28-nm process technology, ARM Cortex-A7, clocked at 1.7 – 2 GHz.


Responsible for the graphics ARM Mali-450 MP4 – 4 cores at 700 MHz. Unfortunately, it does not support OpenGL ES 3.0.


Smartphone Highscreen Spade «pulls” all the toys with any quality graphics. As for the interface. Which is only natural: in “work” 8 cores and the screen resolution – only HD.


Software Platform


The device runs on Google Android operating system version 4.4.2. Likely to 5.0 gadget is not updated, although I do not see any problem to do it. The shell is not firm. While writing a review, “flew Update”. Nothing like this, however, pleased that at least do not forget about the updates.


Multimedia


Polyphonic speaker volume slightly above average, the sound is clear, there is no overload – no wheezing. For more fun lacks bass notes.


The sound quality is usually for any average “android”. I, as always, lacks the deeper low frequencies.


Radio is. Video device is able to play in all resolutions.


Conclusion – Highscreen Spade


Smartphone Highscreen Spade review


Today Highscreen Spade costs about $ 225. The price seems a little more appropriate, rather than Hercules. At least psychologically.


Draw conclusions on the fro devices have recently become difficult since the prices of electronics greatly increased.


Gadget Spade thinks quite successful: a thin, handsome, with ergonomic design, powerful processor, cool “self” off-camera. Battery, of course, pumped up. If you know the battery capacity, no one can convince you that while the gadget is not as small and as it seems at first glance. Before buying a better read reviews, forums and listen to reviews of real customers.

Japanese smartphone Sharp Aquos Crystal (305SH) review

Japan remains to this day a very special country, despite the ongoing processes in the world, anyway blurs the distinction between the different cultures and peoples – the use of similar technology, similar food, watching the world-famous films and TV series, reading popular books and other things. Smartphones and other electronics – one of the “Bastion”, which gradually fades in Japanese life. In this country still, albeit not so much already, a huge popular clamshell with button keypad, as well as unusual smartphones production of their companies. Here, incidentally, generally loved and respected all made in Japan.


Made in Japan Sharp Aquos Crystal


In this article I want to tell you about one of these unusual devices, smartphone, designed and manufactured in Japan and for Japanese, first of all, the market (although the model and is available, in addition to Japan, the United States), – Sharp Aquos Crystal.


Scope of delivery


Immediately it should be noted that the Japanese version of the Aquos Crystal 305SH has a very modest package. I do not know how things are with the version for the United States, but in the Japanese box to my smartphone, besides the devices were only a couple of paper instructions and microSD-card 4GB. Charging unit, cables, headphones here.


Design Sharp Aquos Crystal


Design – that’s exactly what you can immediately fall in love with Sharp Aquos Crystal. In fact, it was the design 305HS can serve as the impetus for you to buy this model, because in terms of the characteristics of the smartphone Ad interim, but it is complicated by buying the original lock under a single operator, the high cost and the need to first find a seller would satisfy you. But will not the bad news, first let’s talk about design.


The highlight of this model – the screen, which occupies almost the entire front plane. Moreover, we often use this phrase in the surveys, referring to the presence of even a small, but still indentation from the screen in all directions, here we are talking about something else. Screen Sharp Aquos Crystal really takes almost all the space, no frames and padding on the left, right, and top of the display there is only a small panel for sensors and cameras underneath.


If you could take the glass protecting the screen of the smartphone, remove and view a cut – we would see a trapeze. It is this form of the element, with levels at the edges, due to what seems like a Aquos Crystal there are no limitations, but the screen is literally bites into the edge of the case.


Japanese smartphone Sharp Aquos Crystal (305SH) review


In fact, the framework, of course, but they are really minimal, and create forms glass effect causes a persistent feeling that the front panel of the smartphone – a continuous display.


It is due to this decision, as well as the absence of any elements above the screen smartphone looks very unusual, beautiful and spectacular. I use the Sharp Aquos Crystal as the main unit from time to time, and whenever I see it in the hands of friends, each of them expresses his surprise and admiration. The design is absolutely not leave indifferent anybody!


As I said in the beginning, it was the design is the hallmark of this device, and such beauty could be forgiven machine a lot. Its design can be described by the set of simple words: magical, fantastic, spectacular, spectacular. Believe me, even if the photos and pictures smartphone does not seem unusual to you, it is worth to see it live, and your opinion is likely to change.


The smartphone is available in four colors: white, black, pink and blue, the last two colors are very quiet, not flashy, bright. In the selected color painted “back” on the device, the front panel and the side faces of the same in all models.


Body Materials


Housing smartphone except faceplate coated with a protective glass is made of plastic. Removable battery cover is made of plastic has a “pattern” in the form of a perforated grid in the center of the solution is as simple as it is elegant. Due to a common plastic cover looks not so boring.


Side faces also made of plastic, a quality imitation “under the metal”, and it is difficult to immediately recognize. When you take only smartphone in hand, it seems that the scope of the metal.


As part of the materials used Sharp Aquos Crystal just not unusual or premium smartphone. There is no aluminum, stainless steel or other metal, but the entire housing is in fact made of plastic. However, the device in your hands does not feel like something cheap and “plastic”, and this is probably the most important thing you need to know about the device, when we discuss the case materials.


Assembly


The build quality of the smartphone no complaints – all very high quality and reliable. Felt as a monolithic housing despite a removable lid. No backlash, the volume keys and power dense “sit” in their places.


Dimensions


Due to the minimal framework left, right and top of the screen smartphone has one of the smallest among the models with displays 5 ”.


Japanese smartphone Sharp Aquos Crystal (305SH) review


Across the width of the body, namely the parameter most seriously affect the user experience with a smartphone, Sharp Aquos Crystal – best of five-inch models, a similar width of the housing Apple iPhone 6, but the device with a smaller diagonal. Than Crystal loses almost all counterparts, so it’s thick shell, although here it should be noted that due to the beveled edges of the “back” device in your hands does not feel thick.


Controls


Sensory and hardware buttons below the screen in no Aquos Crystal. The only hardware buttons – the power button on the top right and the volume button on the left edge of the top. Include smartphone tapom on the screen or in any other way except the power button is pressed, it is impossible, but in spite of its location on the top edge, use this key comfortably. Mainly due to the compact dimensions of the device.


At the top end, in addition to the power button, located 3.5 mm mini-jack on the bottom – microUSB connector and the microphone hole.


Slot for memory card format microSD, as well as under nanoSIM-card is located under the battery cover.


A small area below the display is reserved for eye front camera, light sensor, and proximity, as well as the indicator light. Yes, the place above the screen in a smartphone not, so that the front camera is located under the display, and the earpiece in the conventional sense at all.


Voice interlocutor Sharp Aquos Crystal technology is used direct transfer of sound in the middle ear with the help of special vibration screen. In this technology, Sharp was named HD Voice, but it has already been used previously. In 2012, as the Japanese company, Kyocera, introduced a smartphone Kyocera Urbano Progresso, and its main chip was just the sound transmission technology using bone conduction effect, called Smart Sonic Receiver Technology. Today, this technology is used by a variety of devices.


Its main advantages over the traditional method of transmitting the sound through the speaker:


Sound transmission in two ways at once – in the middle ear and the air


Mute background noise when talking


Ability to locate anywhere on the ear during conversation smartphone


In practice, this method provides not so good and loud voice of the caller, as is the case with the usual speaker, if we are talking about the implementation of technology in the Sharp Aquos Crystal. But overall, the quality of sound transmission, I would call good, just a little lacking volume. And here’s another minus for more than the obvious – while talking machine need to apply directly to the ear what to do in the winter in Russia is not always convenient. Agree, sometimes walking down the street, you simply apply the smartphone to the ear through the cap to talk and hear at the same time good companion. In the case of a Sharp Aquos Crystal this option will not work – hearing will be bad, so will need to put the unit directly to the ear.


Screen


In Sharp Aquos, Crystal mounted display with a diagonal of 5” and a resolution of 1280×720 pixels, made by technology Super-CG Silicon from Sharp (IGZO technology is the earlier of the company). Over the protective glass screen, and the display of the characteristics of one of the best if we are talking about smartphones with HD-screens. There is a very good supply of brightness, maximum viewing angles and color reproduction, natural.


Japanese smartphone Sharp Aquos Crystal (305SH) review


Screen provides four profiles: Standard, Natural, Relax, and Dynamic. In the first three set a fixed color temperature of the display, in the latter it varies depending on the ambient lighting conditions.


Camera – Sharp Aquos Crystal


Both cameras in the smartphone as the primary with a resolution of 8 MP and front, 1.2 MP, very weak, and talk about them in detail, I do not see the point. Shooting “SEB Yash Ek” in Crystal hampered by the fact that the camera is located under the screen, rather than above it, which makes it an unusual angle shooting. Near the main camera has an LED flash.


The smartphone is very nice and easy to use interface to work with the camera – at the touch of a screen button will remove virtually all the settings and just call them up quickly. In this case, all configured directly on the screen, without any extra clicks on the menu and call additional windows.


Japanese smartphone Sharp Aquos Crystal (305SH) review


There is a variety of shooting modes, the ability to select the resolution, HDR-mode, several types of focus and shutter. Generally, in terms of setting the camera is good, but, as I said above, the very image quality is low, which is why a detailed discussion of the camera I will not. The following are examples of images with the main and front cameras, as well as an example of video recorded in FullHD-resolution.


Work Offline


The phone has a removable Li-Ion battery capacity 2040 mAh. Despite its small size (for a smartphone with a screen 5 ”) container, I always have enough battery for all day operation. Perhaps the reason is still in use cases. Usually the main smartphone I have to constantly display on literally all day, that is 5-6 hours of pure time I am looking for something on your phone, read, reply to emails or chat. In the remaining time, the machine is used for shooting and all day long and still plays music in headphones.


Sharp Aquos Crystal I use more as a beautiful phone for calls, sometimes listening to music on it or doing something else. I can not explain why specifically for this device so I changed the script use, just noticed it for themselves. If you work with Crystal as actively as well as with other devices, the charge to be missed on average until the afternoon peak, I think.


Platform memory performance


The smartphone is built on Qualcomm Snapdragon platform 400 (MSM8926) with a quad-core processor 1.2 GHz, the graphics subsystem (GPU) – Adreno 305. The phone 1.5 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal memory and a card slot for microSD.


In synthetic tests (Antti) Sharp Aquos Crystal shows poor results, on the other hand, it is a fashion phone (I do not like this word, but it is appropriate here), it is not for gaming, not to watch the video in 4K resolution, but in everyday use power quad-core enough.


Interfaces


There are two versions of the Sharp Aquos Crystal – 305SH for Japanese operator SoftBank 306SH and for US Sprint, Virgin and Boost Mobile. In the first, in addition to LTE, supports frequencies of GSM / WCDMA, allowing to work unlocked smartphone including Russian networks. In the second (US), in addition to LTE, there are only CDMA. In this review, we are talking about the Japanese modification – 305SH. Initially, the device “is locked” by a single operator, in this case, the Japanese SoftBank and does not work with SIM-cards of other operators, but after a software unlock this restriction is lifted. I use the Sharp Aquos Crystal with SIM-card MegaFon, and LTE support me, unfortunately, no, just 3G. If you use a SIM-card MTS is likely to work and LTE at 1800 MHz, but personally I have not tested.


When connected to a PC the smartphone is defined as a multimedia device with the ability to view the contents of a separate internal memory and memory card.


Navigation


The smartphone has support for GPS (as well as A-GPS), the module operates entirely correct. I always use Google Maps, and no major differences in the accuracy of the data or the speed of the satellite between Sharp Aquos Crystal and, for example, Samsung Galaxy Note 4 did not notice.


Software features, the interface


The smartphone runs on Android 4.4. Initially, in the Japanese version preinstalled just two proprietary shell to choose from – Feel UX and SH Home. I will not describe each of them for one simple reason – one way or another, both interfaces are sharpened by Japanese market, Japanese users and Japanese service, all tied to the built-in programs and in general looks pretty strange and uncomfortable, what could hide.


For myself, I found the solution right away – thanks to pure Android Google Start, Download Google Play. There are all familiar and comfortable.


Japanese smartphone Sharp Aquos Crystal (305SH) review


However, Google Start changing not all the elements of the menu and stays changed. Manager running applications, for example, or blind notifications.


Unpleasant moment, connected with the fact that the smartphone was created only for Japan – curves Cyrillic fonts in some menus. I have this problem manifests itself in the Google Now, in Gmail, a standard browser (Chrome’s all fine) and some other programs.


The solution probably lies in getting on the smartphone route rights and then install third-party or simply additional fonts in the system, but I have not yet studied it.


Conclusion Sharp Aquos Crystal


I do not regret buying a Sharp Aquos Crystal, despite the fact that the device appeared to me not so cheap and spent several months in a box until it was “unlock”. Yes, 305SH can not I use LTE, I almost never use it on the camera (too bad) and less likely to use other functions besides calls than any other smartphone. But sometimes it’s just nice to take the unit for a week as the core, to get away from the powerful multifunctional “irons” and he borrowed an unusual device that is different from anything currently on the market. And for the same reason I can not recommend buying Sharp Aquos Crystal just as the main smartphone too much but in this machine.

Smartphone Highscreen Zera S Power review

Smartphone Highscreen Zera S Power review


We’ve already had a detailed comparison of the company’s devices Highscreen – Zera F and Zera S – two budgetary gadgets with good parameters. A little later there was a new device called Zera S Power. He became a modification of the normal version: changed the look, the number of built-in memory and, most importantly, Power appeared very capacious battery 4000 mAh.


Since the difference between the smartphone is small, the review will be very short, will dwell only on the working hours and some other items.


Design, size, controls – Highscreen Zera S Power


Smartphone Highscreen Zera S Power looks quite simple: a rectangular case with sharp edges, thick rear cover, black color – in short, all as similar gadgets, ugly and unsightly. The back cover is flat, but the edges have a smooth transition to the lateral faces, whereby the device is comfortable to hold in your hand.


The housing is made entirely of durable-looking semi-gloss plastic screen is protected by tempered glass, oleophobic coating is present: prints though and remain on display, but quickly erased, moreover, the finger glides easily over the surface.


A couple of weeks of active use of your smartphone on the screen not a single scratch on the body is not a loss, chips were found. With the assembly of all excellent: no backlash and crunches under strong compression of the gadget.


The front panel is located on top of the earpiece. Its volume is slightly above average, relatively pleasant timbre, not boomy, the interlocutor can hear clearly and legibly enough. To the right of the speaker – an indicator of missed events, “SELF” -Luggage, light sensor and proximity.


Below the screen are touch buttons traditional “android” – “Back”, “Home” and “Menu”. White backlight, bright but not blinding at night.


The microphone on the bottom, a standard headphone output 3.5 mm and a micro-USB – on the top.


The power button is a surprise to me was way left. Typically, this location is convenient for left-handers. Button thin, long, almost drowned in the case. Use is not very convenient. The same type of key, volume rocker. She is right.


On the back side: camera lens and flash are strongly recessed into the rear cover, handsfree speaker.


To remove the socket, it is necessary to pry the recess on the left.


Slot for microSD memory card and connector for microSIM (only 2G) – left, right – miniSIM (2G / 3G).


Display – Highscreen Zera S Power


It uses exactly the same matrix as in Zera S – 4.5″ qHD (540×960 pixels) IPS. The physical size of the display of the first device – 56h99 mm. Frame top – 15 mm, bottom – 17 mm, right and left – 5.5 mm.


The maximum brightness of white color – 811 cd / m2 maximum brightness in black – 1.17 cd / m2, contrast ratio – 692: 1.


Judging by the chart, there is a distinct lack in red, but blue in excess. Judging from the color chart coverage is slightly higher than sRGB (green).


Maximum viewing angles, but the picture is tilted slightly away in a purple hue.


In general, such a device screen was pleasantly surprised by the high brightness and excellent viewing angles.


Battery


By model name you might guess: either there is a powerful processor, a capacious battery. However, given the cost of Zera S Power, easy to understand that we are talking about the battery rather than on any steep chipset.


The battery has a capacity of 4000 mAh. The manufacturer is not sharing with us about the time of the data, so we have tested ourselves.


Smartphone Highscreen Zera S Power reviewIncluded reason lies dohlenkih AC adapter to charge the battery to 100% in about four hours.


Communication capabilities


In this section, all typical of any Android-smartphone budget category. The device operates in cellular networks 2G (GSM / GPRS / EDGE, 850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and 3G (900/2100 MHz).


In the presence of Bluetooth version 4.0 to transfer files and speech. There is a wireless connection Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11 b / g / n. Smartphone can naturally be employed in an access point (Wi-Fi Hotspot) or modem.


The USB connector is configured as a Host, that is to say it is easy to connect, for example, Flash-device.


There are GPS. Its sensitivity is quite good: in “cold” mode for 20 seconds to find 3 satellites indoors near a window in 10 seconds – up to 5 satellites, an open space for the same time – up to 15.


Memory and memory card


Inside the integrated 1 GB of RAM. On average, about 600 MB free.


Highscreen Zera S Power Highscreen Zera S Power Highscreen Zera S Power


Storage allocated 8GB Flash-memory. Of these, 5.6 GB available for user needs. There is a slot for a memory card, its maximum amount – 32 GB.


Camera


Two modules: 5 MP with autofocus and 2 MP front without focusing. Present outbreak.


Photo quality average or below average. Basically, the claim to the low detail, a lot of noise, not very precise focus. “Frontalka” takes quite bearable.


Video unit records in FullHD resolution of 30 K / s. Quality is bad: not dramatically, when you change the focus hear the moving lens, the image trembles when quickly change focus between near and far objects.


Performance and software platform


Model Highscreen Zera S Power operates on the chipset MediaTek MT6582: Cortex-A7, 28 nm, 4 cores at 1.3 GHz, graphics accelerator Mali-400MP2 with a clock frequency of 400 MHz. About chip we wrote countless times, so I will not repeat.


Brief information and performance tests


The device runs on Google Android operating system version 4.4.2. Proprietary shell is absent.


Multimedia


Smartphone Highscreen Zera S Power review


In the gadget installed standard music and video player, radio. Speaker is loud, but given the size, could be incorporated speaker louder.


Conclusion -Highscreen Zera S Power


Smartphone Highscreen Zera S Power can now be purchased for $ 145. Price is not the most attractive, however, what can you do – sanctions. On the positive side of the smartphone: high brightness matrix, durable and well-assembled housing capacity battery. Of the negative: weak camera and unsightly appearance.

Michael Hurst: "The Vikings" stand out even against the blockbusters"

The creator of the series “The Vikings» Michael Hurst answered fans’ questions about his work on historical drama channel History, creating images of the main characters, their favorite scenes, as well as the surprises that await viewers in the third season. 


Possible spoilers!


Do you strongly risked triggering a series about the bad guys?


I have often said that it is impossible to write the script of the series about Vikings, because the public does not want to root for the bandits who could break into someone’s house in the middle of the night. However, it is worth remembering that the Vikings themselves have left written evidence about his adventures. All modern knowledge of them are formed on the basis of the chronicles of their enemies. Many of these records are the promotion of Christian monks, that scares the pagan faith of the Vikings. During my research I found that they not only built an excellent sea-going vessels. They had just laws, and their society was much more democratic than the Franks and Saxons.


If you look at the most popular series in recent years, we can understand that the main characters in them are always people with a difficult temperament. Many of these characters were the bad guys, because good boys sometimes completely unsuitable in dramatic star of the show. Also do not forget that the main character of the series should have a certain power. The audience always enjoyed particular success projects in which the protagonist to administer the fate of others.


What is the secret of success Ragnar in the audience?


Travis Fimmel helped me to realize that image, which I have long dreamed of. For many years I was forced to watch as the screen depict Vikings flashy barbarians with horns on their helmets. I was interested in a type of thoughtful and closed the leader because the Scandinavians have always seemed to me pretty smart people.Travis was able to create an image of a charismatic ruler who prefer to listen rather than talk. Ragnar could become earl, not too interested in the attributes of power. In my opinion, these characters are much more interesting than those for whom the desire to take the throne become the sole motivation. Ragnar, whose position in life like the audience, considers himself a descendant of Odin, who is known not only as a warrior, but as a wise man.


Michael Hurst: "The Vikings" stand out even against the blockbusters"


Is it true that you received complaints from young people who are beginning to be jealous of their girls to Ragnar?


“Vikings” became popular among female not only by Travis, but our other actors.History Channel for many years has been focused on the male audience. Our project was able to change this situation. The “Viking” a lot of fans who are attracted as cute actors, and the presence of bright, strong women. I promise that girls too soon begin to be jealous of his men to our heroines. Toward the end of the third season we have planned quite explicit scenes with a very sexy actress.


Will there be a third season of the new heroine?


Certainly. The Vikings began the siege of Paris, which will give us the opportunity to present a few residents of this city. I have always loved working on the creation of images coolest women. Perhaps this is due to the fact that I have several daughters, but I find the fair sex is much more complex characters. It is for this reason, one of my favorite projects – the film “Elizabeth”.


What awaits Lagertu?


Her life is still full of surprises, joys and tragedies. One day I was told that in today’s television no such second heroine. I must express my gratitude to Katheryn Winnick, a lot invested in this magnificent image. I wanted to create a character, embodies freedom, which gives the company the Vikings. After all, their women have the right to divorce their husbands, to fight, to own their own property, and even become the ruler. Their European neighbors about such could not even dream. In this Lagerta faces many challenges that are well understood by modern women. Its only difference is that she always has on hand ax …


Michael Hurst: "The Vikings" stand out even against the blockbusters"


How important to you is important in the historical facts?


Each of my new project starts with reading historical literature … The study of primary sources are born characters and storylines. If you do not have this anchor in the form of historical facts, that the ship can sail too far from reality. Some people due to our TV series began to get involved in the Scandinavian sagas, and others, on the contrary, have the opportunity to test their knowledge.


Adds realism and how we shoot “Viking”. Without computer graphics in some situations, sometimes simply can not do, but we use CGI mainly for greater scale.All our actors perform their own stunts, which distinguishes our show even from big-budget Hollywood blockbusters. We pay great attention and detail. All buildings, costumes and furniture are based on real objects from that era.


Why Ragnar lose his famous braids?


We would like to Ragnar decided to change the appearance after became the ruler.Travis is well aware of his hero, presenting him someone like Che Guevara world of the Vikings. This guy – a true revolutionary who do not care about how should look like kings. We were thinking about how to reflect its new status in the clothes, but Travis was adamant: “My character has not changed for the sake of his style … The only reason to get power was to him the desire to decide their own future.” We came to the decision that they lived through the experience will be reflected in his appearance. With a new hairdo Ragnar will involve important storyline of the third season.


What is the secret of his beautiful eyes?


Such expressive eyes, as he does, give the actors a lot of advantages. I can not say whether our specialists to improve eye color Ragnar artificially. Travis swears it’s his natural color, but much make-up to hide from me …


Michael Hurst: "The Vikings" stand out even against the blockbusters"


How different do you think the writers work on TV and in the movies?


I have long worked in the cinema, and therefore did not know if I can do drama series. Removing the “Tudors» (The Tudors), I was convinced that television provides an excellent opportunity to create interesting characters and intriguing storylines. I am glad that in various aspects of the work I assist professionals in their field. I hope that our team will be able to start creating the fourth season in April.


Do you have a favorite scene in the series?


Most often, I remembered the moments in which we are talking about a family of Ragnar. One of the best scenes I think the one in which our hero says goodbye to his dead daughter. I was thinking about my own children when he wrote his sentimental monologue. Travis has no children, but he was able to miraculously make this moment even more emotional. The beauty of these episodes is that they can endure beyond the historical context. This could happen to anyone at any time.When working on the scenarios of the projects I try to give the viewer a sense of what the main characters – a completely ordinary people, regardless of age.


The third season begins several years after the events of the second?


The first series will be a direct continuation of the events of the finale of the second season. We still have a few issues that require resolution in real time.



Famine, plague, and death ... a utopia. Review




Conspiracy thriller “Utopia” – a daring project of the British production of Showrunner Dennis Kelly, who, to convey to the audience their thoughts, using all necessary means to him, without looking at the strict censorship, in contrast to their overseas counterparts. A thought sounded far from trivial. What began as a bizarre delusions with essential attributes like slow fall from a window or a figure dressed as a rabbit turned into a witty argument about human nature. Although the stated theme as much complicated as there are beaten, the creators of “Utopia” coped brilliantly with her ​​studies.


The starting point of the writers made a very real problem of lack of resources. This motif has become a major driving force of the plot and creates a situation exaggerated to varying degrees. For example, the reduction of natural food and replacing it on GMOs – the reality of cities, but the creation of a vaccine, polls sterilizing virtually the entire population of the world – rather unattainable fantasy.However, the heroes of this deadly battle for the fate of mankind appear iron motifs, and the creators of the mad world of “Utopia” – a clear reference system.


In a coherent concept of the series woven tough questions about what is ready to go relatively influential people for the sake of “better future”, and where is the boundary of what is permitted. Give the mind and the outstanding quality of the right to decide the fate of even her own child, not to mention the billions of other people.How propaganda works and what scheme develops public panic. Who is really pulling the strings and stands at the helm of a big political machine. And perhaps the most important issue suddenly becomes a classic, from Dostoevsky: “The thing I trembling? ..”. No wonder imperishable novel by Fyodor not often mentioned in the course of the story.


Famine, plague, and death ... a utopia. Review


Interestingly, the Dennis Kelly, Mark Eldridge and Claire MacDonald managed to pack reflections on important issues of modern society in the cast cover of comics style and exaggerated violence. This visual trick easily attracts the viewer, and the age limit only fuels the interest. However, dynamic chases, gunfights blood, torture, genocide and inhuman experiments hiding all the painful theme of the XXI century: identity, loneliness, trust, choice and responsibility. At the same time the British, who never denied feelings common cynicism, humor and action, are not engaged in highbrow mentoring. They themselves shrug, leaving most of the applications open question. Like, think for yourself, decide for yourself.


Also, the authors, despite the criticism of excessive violence, not addicted vyshibaniem brains. They are great to learn the lessons of modern television: show shot in the head in the sham-style, like Quentin Tarantino, you can, but to kill a rabbit in front of impressionable audience can not. Bring to flow though a dozen secondary characters – please, but with the main – careful. Although the writers did not hesitate, and the central characters poistyazat and even put a weapon in the hands of children, making them not only objects, but also a source of violence.However, demanded the laws themselves “Utopia” …


World created by Dennis Kelly and his team masters art pieces – deadly, uncompromising and tough. It is the world whisper, rustling, diabolical laughter skewed faces, closed doors, dim rooms and, on the contrary, unbearably bright colors. Color and soundtrack are running the show: a poisonous yellow bag is a standard set of killer mercilessly green walls are not placated, and defiantly blue sky and look to fall on the heads of the unfortunate victims of “Utopia”. This juicy nightmare created not only to annoy the optic nerve and subsequently become the bible for desktop emerging artists and designers. Each stylistic feature of the show is working to create a tense atmosphere.


Famine, plague, and death ... a utopia. Review


Further possible spoilers!


Watching “Utopia”, it is impossible to escape: she keeps in tone, not once cutting the ground from under the feet of their fans unpredictable turns. The second season of the viewer is already beginning to think that solved all of its codes, when suddenly a cozy family dinner turns into a bloodbath, and a loving father shoots his own children. And all this is a more important goal than wanton epatirovanie viewers.


However, the writers do not forget about the specific black humor, which is downright blooms to the beginning of the second season. If the first chapter tried to prove that the authors here is not a joke to joke and at times was excessively severe, the second was the concentration of sarcasm. The creators of the TV show so inflate the degree of drama going on, and the absurdity reaches such proportions that the characters begin to behave like the characters stupid spy thriller. For example, a chase scene for mercenaries connected with each otherChristian and Tony followed by seizures in the last ridiculous to tears, exactly as hallucinations or Becky Wilson’s comments regarding the improved “Janus”.


Famine, plague, and death ... a utopia. Review


An important function in “Utopia” executes the Ole Bratt Birkland. Through his work, along with the efforts of art directors, series becomes a spectacle that is not a sin to be reviewed. Ole choose camera angles so that the story presented on the screen at all realistic look someone’s obsessive vision. The camera then pulls faces and unnaturally curved shapes the characters, making them almost unearthly beings, it goes so far that we are turning the pages of a graphic novel, which is about to appear with the text field.


But the most interesting and important in the project is still looking characters.Although the success of “Utopia” is due more intriguing history than strong heroes before us is a whole galaxy of little cartoonish, but not stereotypical images. Among them: the eccentric duo with brutal killers torturous devices, like a mad pirate Wilson Wilson, desperate young thug Grant. In general, the triumph of colorful misfits. The procession is headed by paranoids obsessed Jessica Hyde – cold-blooded, strong and patient on his head girl with an androgynous appearance, unruly curls and huge eyes fixed on the lifeless face.


Such an ensemble cast can not be forgotten, though the person involved in the project – absolutely nemediynye. They look convincing at all, that would not do, in the theater or replaying giving deep personal drama. For example, Fiona O’Shaughnessy embodies sacrifice paternal love with the manners of a psycho, injured since childhood, has become a consumable item in a big game big corporation, so striking that it is impossible to imagine anyone else in its place.


“Utopia” – a unique, provocative and fresh phenomenon, with all the contradictions and flirting with the audience prove their worth. Authors who risked seriously ridicule many of the stereotypes and challenges of our generation, could not cross the line and not to offend anyone. It perfectly combines textured characters and twisted story, excellent humor and philosophical reflections, wade tingling musicTapii Cristobal de Veer and flashy colors, fiction and reality. In this case, Dennis Kelly and company have created so rich, stylish and original project that he will still be out of reach for the top of the other series of this genre.

Movie purely "American sniper" review

Americans are so respected by his story that they are ready even from such dubious personalities like Chris Kyle make national heroes.


Should expect to see this film in Oscar race – it is no less patriotic than the “Operation” Argo “and” The Hurt Locker “and Oscar without such films lately is complete.


This is actually a really good biographical drama, but American audiences a film is obviously closer, as not all the values promoted by this tape, will be apparent to a foreign audience. The man laid in the name of the United States, more than 200 people, including women and children, a hero? It is very doubtful. Hardly it any better than dozens of his victims, but in the film he is a legend and an example to follow. Of course, I can not judge that person and not for me to decide which approach to the film adaptation of his life would have been more correct, but it seems that not too Eastwood decided to be original and make the right American film that appeals to a mass American audience. And judging by the box office, it is very possible.


Purely American sniper


Movie purely "American sniper" review


Tape covers quite a long period of life of Chris Kyle – since the beginning of the service and until the day of his death, not taking into account several references to childhood. However, this period of more than ten years served as a crumpled – there is no sense of the passage of time. While viewing it seems that everything happens within a few months. And just by the way children grow Chris becomes clear about how much time has passed from a particular moment. And the hero is still the same stubble, his wife, played by Sienna Miller still as beautiful without any signs of aging. In this regard, the film American sniper is not well designed. For the rest, no serious complaints about the script and the story is not, because it is primarily a biopic, but not much of overclocking. You can complain about except for absolute odnogrannosti film. You can in fact was to bring to the film a little bit of an alternative vision for a change, so to speak. All that is in the film contradicts the general “correct” history – the right motive, right action and right America – the only brother Chris phrase “Burn this place with fire,” followed by a discouraged look Bradley Cooper eloquently giving to understand that there is, America is not will be put in a negative light. But this is initially a purely patriotic American film, as I’m just saying …


Movie purely "American sniper" review


In terms of emotions the film American sniper does not particularly stand out. There is no splashing of the fountain of impressions that were after “Gran Torino” or the same “perfect world”. All somehow Chuzhoe. Yes, sometimes naughty nerves in a particularly intriguing moments, but that’s it. The film does not remain long in my head after watching, and remain, in principle, nothing. If you compare my posleprosmotovoe state after “Gran Torino” and after the “Sniper”, it is completely different things. Eastwood disappoint this time. Yet fictitious characters he manages to do much better close and understandable to the audience, rather than real people.


Movie purely "American sniper" review


Acting work on quite a decent level, although there is nothing outstanding, and again a moot point whether Bradley Cooper earned a third consecutive nomination. There were small hints of high quality performance in episodes of holding at gunpoint a child with a grenade or a telephone conversation with his wife in a bar, but this is not enough, and Chris Kyle Cooper performed does not cause any distinct positive or negative emotions. Played well, the actor fell into the image, but no more.


Movie purely "American sniper" review


Staging fight scenes made very grammotno without reproach. Pleased shooting from a height, pleased with the location – the atmosphere gnustnogo Iraq handed over the best way possible. With this in films Eastwood never no problem. Ladder here. Special thanks to the creators for adding at the end of filming the documentary, which gives a fairly broad idea of what is the attitude of Americans toward this man. But in patriotic they can not refuse …


Movie purely "American sniper" review


In general, the “American Sniper” it is quite a good biopic with good actors, good approach worthy fight scenes with excessive patriotism, but it is possible to make a discount, as I have already written, a film about an American for Americans. There are a number of disadvantages, but they are rather subjective, and simply do not correspond to my vision of the ideal film about Chris Kyle – the most effective sniper in US history. If you think, you can hardly make a film significantly better for mass, primarily American audience. Phenomenal box-office results in the North American box office, excellent audience ratings show that in general, the film was a success. But I’m sick at the Oscars for it will not …

Movie 2015 "Paddington" review

Largely thanks to the magic of the creative studio Disney, whole generations of viewers, young and old, have learned one simple truth of family film – the story of pretty likable beings, give the most positive emotions.


And if at the time, “Garfield” is not too expertly flirted with the realities of adult life, then bear from “distant Peru”, hit the comedic point. For me personally, no surprise that animated screen Paddington is already quite popular British star of the animated series – I’ll tell you that for me twice watching a movie on the big screen has become one of the most pleasant emotions beginning of the year.


Movie 2015 "Paddington" review


Go directly to the description of the film wants to appeal to the image of the protagonist. Brought up as a gentleman, bear with constant irony very well fit into the atmosphere of London – just this, it is usually what we show in the movies. That only is the scene at the railway station, where people in their hectic traffic, such lumped shown that miracles do not notice right under your feet. While the London show sees meter speaker bear hat almost commonplace, Paddington familiarity with the world of people – a kind of pioneer journey. The first taxi ride, familiarity with bathroom and toothbrushes, afternoon tea, and clothing.


Movie 2015 "Paddington" review


The behavior of the main character in the frame causes uncontrolled positive emotions – it’s sort of a collective image of the rational characters that we’ve seen before. And if you came out a few years earlier “Odd Man” brings a smile unless jokes below the belt, the bear for a younger audience – the very charm. In the course are various scenes awkward assimilation with the world of people, the way to move and talk, monologues and dialogues.


Movie 2015 "Paddington" review


Paddington eyes can be described as the embodiment of the most endearing images of animals. If we talk about the visual component, the character has been completely recreated on screen with animation – in other words, live bear cubs doubles you will not see. Yet the quality of the animation is excellent other than not name – recalls including facial expressions, the last variation “Planet of the Apes.”


Movie 2015 "Paddington" review


The film is primarily calculated on a younger audience and for this exclusive goodie fits perfectly. He emphasizes that never lies. With selfless dedication refers to people without asking anything for himself – a true example of proper behavior for a child. At the same time, it is quite obvious vivid contrast between Paddington and heroine Nicole Kidman. Formed, albeit far-fetched, and yet a clear understanding of the difference between “good” and “evil.” By the way, the main reminiscent of another well-known image in the film – Cruella De Vil. Even it is noteworthy that on the role of family members the Browns were not taken first-magnitude star – in this case, they would certainly set off an unrivaled attention from Paddington.


Movie 2015 "Paddington" review


The film Paddington covers a surprisingly wide age range of the audience. Parents who gave their children a session of this picture, raise own mood and probably add it to the unofficial list of films for which it is possible to gather the whole family at the screen. For adult audiences creators even some well-stocked recognizable elements, such as Lionel Richie song «Hello», or has literally become a cult for film, «I feel good» James Brown. Therefore, we can safely discard prejudices and say that the film will be of interest to both adults and kids. He is destined for success and may eventually become an instant classic family movie. Let’s hope for the continuation of quality, which is the basis of success at the box office and positive public reaction, surely follow.

Joker - Movie Wild Card review

Always sad to watch as former authority and respect to a particular artist slowly but rapidly eroding due to the huge number of low-quality pictures. Thus, each time assuring that there may be something worse.


The famous actor Nicolas Cage has long been experiencing a similar response on the skin and removed at any second-class thrash. Thus, allowing only remember the old work actor and really decent picture with his participation. Sadly, in this swamp appearnot less eminent Jason Staten, who even consolidating its laurels of one of the protagonists of contemporary thriller completely lost against the background of indistinguishablesecond grade.


Joker - Movie Wild Card review


That’s only if the previous work with Steytemom could look basically like to say about this work, directed by Simon West is simply impossible. Since the film Wild Card has turned out well, just a nightmare. In truth, the director of the film by Simon West directed the film – absolutely nothing that allows nostalgic for such stout work of directors as “Con Air,” “Lara Croft” and really think about how and West came to this state. After all, the film turned out far not what we promised him at the time of its creation. Since almost from the first frame creates the feeling of being willing to implement several genres on the screen, the West took something located in the middle. But in the case of this film, each of the genres toils attention to themselves and literally breaks a picture into pieces. Naturally because of what the film, resulting in very mixed feelings when viewing.


Joker - Movie Wild Card review


After all, if you look at the film as art-house band, the film is devoid of any copyright underscore and even more dramatic depth. If as a thriller Wild Card, the entire action is reduced to an absolute minimum, and it seems that all the spectacular moments easily fit in the trailer for the film these things.


Joker - Movie Wild Card review


Thus, watching a film at the level of emotion is simply impossible. As the story has turned completely sucked from the finger, stupid and absolutely no. Thus, without incurring a absolutely no sense. When directing as well as poor in the mighty hand and wins a beautifully shot picture and those few scenes of spectacle, which is really impressive, but no more.


Joker - Movie Wild Card review


Artist starring Jason Staten again to try on the image of a tough guy with a three-day stubble, which is ready to crumble any number of enemies in spite of their skills and heavily armed. It looks like the image is always cool, but so we Steytema seen in countless other films and due to this impression of his game greatly blunted.


Joker - Movie Wild Card review


Michael Angarano very unnerved me throughout the tape, and it is “registered” in the face of the actors Sofia Vergara, Ann Hatch, Hope Davis and Stanley Tucci completely lost on the sidelines. Never Zaim opportunity to shine their characters, and even the game. The only one who looks quite appropriate, since it is Milo Ventimiglia, who quite naturally accustomed to the image of the local mafia son of sinful pride.



Wild Card – it’s probably the worst film starring Jason Statham which deprives the audience of the main reason why they are watching a movie with Steytemom and this – the spectacle. After the almost complete absence of spectacle filmmakers could not compensate completely stupid plot patterns and abundance of momentary cameo famous actors who fail to disperse enough on the screen.

All because of women ... Movie The Boy Next Door review

Looking every time the movie to premiere the film The Boy Next Door, I find myself thinking that the crisis can be traced in the film and it is connected with a complete lack of good stories.


Here seriously, look closely and you’ll see that every film duplicates the previous and come up with something new is not just a problem, it is simply impossible. This machine is about producing paintings stalled and did it a long time ago. Now comes to the fore not cast or a good idea in the film, and a fantastic special effects created specifically to jinx templates in the picture.


Movie The Boy Next Door review


Many here are surprised at the reviews for the film that the picture entirely predicted from the first minute. Guys almost ninety percent of films The Boy Next Door coming out in a year or repeated or copied, or does not even rewritten, but simply convened another cast and changing scenery. Therefore, beat his chest and scream loudly that the film he is nothing, in this (particular) case is pointless (it is better to resent those who removes dull militants), only wasting your nerves. In cinematography crisis, writers with a good imagination smaller, and directors who want to remove at least some movie with celebrities more.


Movie The Boy Next Door review


“Fan”, if by “garlic” is formulaic thriller which of itself represents nothing. Than he can boast a plot? Definitely not. From the beginning, everything is clear without words, as in silent films. There’s nephew, has a beautiful divorcee with a son. One day, he helps with the garage door, and then everything as on the thumb track – candy buketny period as a good relationship with the son of the main antagonist of the main character, her close friends and relatives. After a moment longer sensual sex, on the morning of a hangover and the realization that the main character hurried, hurry up and do not mean it. And then you persecution, paranoia and a complete lack of personal space. You know, we had a child that does not read books purchased in the summer “sokraschenki” So if you look at the video clip to a picture, it can no longer watch. In this little video shows all the nearest minute, the new film is nothing.


Movie The Boy Next Door review


Maybe a movie The Boy Next Door can boast, if not a plot, the cast? In point. Jennifer Lopez multi-faceted personality who loves his acting and singing career. In my memory very few people who skillfully combine talent singer and actor, and she’s one of them. Long time I have not seen her paintings and now she had me pleasantly surprised. With pleasure looked not only at her beautiful figure, but her professional game. By the way, too, and Ryan Guzman from her to keep up.



When people talk about the “fans”, just imagine mentally unhealthy fat guy who sneaks into the house, stealing personal belongings and all stuff like that (well, personally I have), but then he joined the plot with meticulous precision and showed that not all “they “are the same. Two men from the outset asked sprightly rhythm pattern, then she punted.


Movie The Boy Next Door review


What else? Yes, like all. The plot of “pop” is nothing new we have not seen too beautiful not noticed. The director seems to me, coped with their work, not least because he had invited a good actor who managed to literally pull the film watchable on the level.


Movie The Boy Next Door review


Is it worth it to watch this movie The Boy Next Door? The issue is complex. I looked after a day of it with pleasure, because a simple story, which does not have to strain to think, played a role. But whether it’s the other day, I would have passed.
