 Hope you weren't a fan of drones before because you're definitely gonna be a fan of them now That's a hot mug guys. Hey guys, this is my review for Michael Blambulans our LA ambulance is actually a remake of a European film that was made apparently was $7 and This movie was made with 70 million dollars or something along that lines. This film follows Okay, I'm not gonna pry and pronounce his name because I know a fucking butchered black mantra from Aquaman He's a war vet who's trying to find the means of helping his wife through her medical operation He can't get any kind of support from the Medical system even though he's a veteran so he goes to his estranged adopted brother played by Jake Chilinol Who I think is trying to tow the line of how Nicholas Cage came off in face-off the performances are eerily similar little does he know that he is immediately pulled into a bank robbery and Of course things go wrong. They have to take this ambulance hostage with a cop that one of them shot earlier While the paramedic inside is trying to help the wounded officer at the same time also trying to survive the situation and While these guys are being chased by the cops and they're on this very merry Opposite of OJ chase throughout the streets of Los Angeles with a lot of cool car chase scenes lots of cool explosions And a finale that actually kind of has some levity to it in terms of what we're used to from Bay First off, I'll have to say I think the performances From Black Mantra and the Merrick are good. I think those two are good Jake I kind of go back and forth on there's times where he'll be really really great And then there's other times where he's chewing the scenery so badly It's eating into my own face the opening I would find is kind of the most unnerving about it It's the most odd there are some moments where there's the Michael Bay stupid humor is thrown in that is actually Far less than it should be especially in a movie like this I find that you really tone down on that But that's because every time he can find a way to use an FPV drone He'll do it the way he incorporated into this film I actually think that this will be used in action films in the future because I have not seen it use on this scale Obviously they'll use drone shots for establishing whatnot, but FPV drones are a much different breed of animal These are drones that have cameras on them that can go upwards to a hundred and eighty kilometers an hour They can zip you've probably seen a few videos of people doing these little tricks through these courses in these abandoned buildings Like going up through pipes going down through smoke stacks coming out of windows through holes in the ground and all that these guys are Professionals and he hired one he hired a professional drone racer to do a lot of the shots in this film There's one in particular where the ambulance is going through this big empty gravel lot and the drone passes underneath This building that has it's kind of an abandoned concrete thing It's got these corridor bars and as it's passing through it will pass then in front of the ambulance as it skids around it Goes past it and then there's another one where it goes underneath a cop car after the cop cars going off of this Very small lip in the ground. It's amazing I don't know how many cameras and drones they had to kill to get some of these shots But I imagine it was a few so if you're wanting to see this film from a very Fast-paced visual standpoint. I would highly suggest it just for this reason not only are these drones used outside But they're also used inside buildings sometimes I don't know why you wanted to try that but sure They really does try to do something different in terms of the visual experience with this film And I will give him credit for that the guy is always trying to do something different in terms of a shot He is very rarely static He is always a kinetic camera in motion and now with drones at his disposal. You bet you I am Really excited to see whatever his next movie is. He will probably shoot the entire movie on drones But in terms of the story, I feel it's kind of decent. It admittedly goes on way too long I think that even though that this film does have a pretty okay pacing to it I feel that it still drags out this story way too long There's a few bits that they could have cut out and made a little bit more precise because there's this entire element with this Mexican gang cartel that's kind of thrown into the end of the film that you almost didn't even need to have in there You just needed to so you could have an explosion, but I still do like how the movie ends I actually wasn't quite surprised by that ending and I think that it makes it a lot more of a unique film Than what you're used to from the baster. Are you seeing this movie for story? No, but is there one in there? Yes, I actually surprisingly enough. Are you watching it for the character acting? No, is there some decent a little bit? Are you watching this for the action cinematography and the explosions in the car chases? Yes for film that's also like 90% car chase They do a really good job of constantly creating this sense of what the hell is going on this confusion It makes you really in bed it into this car chase and it makes it look way better than it probably would because Realistically wouldn't be this entertaining in the end I'm gonna give blambulance a 4 out of 7 a very generous 4 out of 7 But I feel that it was an enjoyable movie and I would watch it again Purely to see the drone shots and all this cinematography that went into that It would actually be really interesting some of the behind-the-scenes there already is some of that on YouTube So I would definitely just you guys check that out.
