Critic’s Review: 2.0 Best Sci-Fi Thriller in The History Of Indian Cinema

2Point0 Movie Review: So... here we are giving you the final verdict on the just released, most awaited movie of the year, 2Point0 or 2.0 featuring Rajinikanth Vs Akshay Kumar in another Good Vs Evil story. Even though the story sounds like old wine in a new bottle, what are the elements which make this film different? Has the audience liked what's offered to them? Let's find out...
Superhero Rajinikanth as Vaseegaran the scientist and Chitti (both versions) has been pitted against antagonist Akshay Kumar (Pakshi Raj or Bird king). The latter arrives minutes before the interval and after that manages to hold the audience under his spell. The film is being dubbed as a sequel to Shankar's earlier hit Enthiran (Robot). However, the makers deny any link between them. Is it really a sequel? Watch the film to find out.
The most striking thing about the movie, besides the lead actors' mind-blowing performances is definitely the VFX, a real feast to your eyes. It is apparent that the technical crew of 2Point0 have pushed the enveloped and delivered what was expected of them—an Indian film on par with a Hollywood sci-fi fantasy thriller. And if you want to truly enjoy the film, then do watch it in a 3D theatre. So when you w3atch the film, you will understand that the film was not all about good Vs Evil after all. Like Akki said before the release of the movie during promotions, the film does carry a message. The cell phone towers and the story of birds strikes a chord with environment loving citizens.
Rajinikanth is back. His signature style dialogue delivery, his trademark mannerisms for which fans throng theatres are all part of 2Point0. The striking visuals are a spectacle, particularly if you are into films like Transformers and wondered if there would ever be an Indian film on that scale. The VFX standards certainly comes close if not match the Hollywood benchmark.
A wronged person making a comeback to take revenge on the perpetrators of crime has been Shankar's favourite plot and he has explored the same here too as in his earlier movies like Anniyan.
Verdict: This mass entertainer is a treat for Rajinikanth fans and a must watch for those who appreciate Hollywood Sci-fi fantasies with great VFX. Go Watch it this weekend.
2Point0 Rating: 4/5

VFX Extravaganza.. 3D effects out of the world.. #Superstar is Mirattal as #Chitti @akshaykumar in disguise till now.. — Ramesh Bala (@rameshlaus) November 28, 2018 #2point0 RIP All current Box office records.. — Ramesh Bala (@rameshlaus) November 29, 2018 #2Point0 [4/5]: World-class VFX and 3D.. But the high u get is from #Thalaivar 's #Chitti Reloaded Version 2.0.. — Ramesh Bala (@rameshlaus) November 29, 2018 #2point0: A BREATHTAKING AUDIO-VISUAL POWERHOUSE. Thoroughly enjoyed the film. Easily lives up to the reputation of being the most ambitious Indian motion picture ever. 25-min-long climax stadium sequence was jaw-dropping fun ? ? @shankarshanmugh saar VERA LEVEL ?? — Surendhar MK (@SurendharMK) November 29, 2018 #2point0: This is surely THE RAJINIKANTH film his ardent fans are waiting for since a long time. The last thirty minutes will be an entertaining roller-coaster ride with his vintage dialogue delivery, punchlines, inimitable gestures and what not. @LycaProductions has a WINNER! — Surendhar MK (@SurendharMK) November 29, 2018 #2point0: The kind of gigantic visual effects brought to life through @shankarshanmugh's characters is the main strength of the film. Shankar's conception of VFX sequences and action choreography makes for an exhilarating visual treat. — Surendhar MK (@SurendharMK) November 29, 2018 #2point0: @akshaykumar as PakshiRajan is very impressive. Owns the role of an ornithologist with great ease, especially in the emotional flashback sequence which connects very well and makes us empathize with his character organically. Na Muthukumar's lines for #Pullinangaal ? — Surendhar MK (@SurendharMK) November 29, 2018 #2point0 is the most fully realized work of @shankarshanmugh's filmmaking. Puts #Superstar #Rajinikanth to best use in a long long time. Thalaivar effortlessly pulls off #Chitti, Vaseegaran, #2Point0 and (surprise ? ?) with wide-ranging idiosyncrasies, body language, etc. SOLD. — Surendhar MK (@SurendharMK) November 29, 2018 #2point0 first half: Staggering visual effects and solid establishment of characters. 3D is extremely fluid and topnotch ? ? Moves perfectly so far and the stage is quite well set for the second half. — Surendhar MK (@SurendharMK) November 28, 2018 #2point0 My Rating: 4/5. Dear Records, get ready for #Superstar #Rajinikanth to set your numbers on ?. — Surendhar MK (@SurendharMK) November 29, 2018 #2Point0 -My rating 4.25/5. Enjoy. Final half hour attagasam. Visual magic with a good universal message.#SuperstarRajinikanth remains King. Evergreen! @rajinikanth @shankarshanmugh — Kaushik LM (@LMKMovieManiac) November 29, 2018 #2Point0 - 4.25/5. When 2 selfless icons #SuperstarRajinikanth - #AkshayKumar stand firm with their director @shankarshanmugh's vision to present a never seen before Indian scifi spectacle. Hatsoff! — Kaushik LM (@LMKMovieManiac) November 29, 2018 #2Point0 -4.25/5. The film takes off to the next level only after the entry of #Chitti V 2.0. Till then @shankarshanmugh takes us through the back story & the danger facing the society, through highly ambitious visuals (the bird?) and his imagination. Last half hour blockbuster! — Kaushik LM (@LMKMovieManiac) November 29, 2018 #2Point0 2nd half - Has a good back story for @akshaykumar, where @shankarshanmugh opens up the film's core msg - to control mobile phone usage and make sure that the world is not just for humans but also for other living beings like birds. Different msg and universal too. — Kaushik LM (@LMKMovieManiac) November 29, 2018 #2Point0 2nd half - Climax final 30 mins in the stadium VERA LEVEL ? ? @shankarshanmugh mirattals with Chitti Version 2.0 Reloaded & the super duper cute 3.0s, as #SuperstarRajinikanth makes it a paisavasool experience with his punchlines, dubbing, gestures, body language.?? — Kaushik LM (@LMKMovieManiac) November 29, 2018 #2Point0 1st half - #SuperstarRajinikanth style, screen presence & charisma are classic as always. @iamAmyJackson as the humanoid Nila is glamorous and entertaining, with humorous punchlines. #AkshayKumar yet to be unleashed; hardly anything for him so far. Ambitious, complex VFX — Kaushik LM (@LMKMovieManiac) November 28, 2018 #2Point0 1st half - A crisp 1 hr 10 mins.. Good experience so far. @shankarshanmugh's imagination and larger than life vision driving the movie ahead. Lots of science and logic in the plot. As we know, cell (mobile) phones play a key role. #Chitti - #Vasee are the saviors. — Kaushik LM (@LMKMovieManiac) November 28, 2018
He has rocked both as Bird Man and as a normal man in an emotional flashback..
Pre-interval action sequence unleashes the VFX magic..
Vintage Thalaivar.. Turbo Charged.. 10 times bigger than #Endhiran Baddie 2.0
Hatsoff @akshaykumar for all the makeup efforts and a powerful role. @iamAmyJackson is a breeze
Expecting a strong run all over the South till Pongal. Hope it becomes an ATBB?
