"Nina Forever" starts out a bit chaotic, but it sets a pretty good mood for the movie.
However, that mood was quickly gunned down by the utter boredom that trailed along with this movie. I managed to get maybe just about 30 minutes into the movie before I had to give up out of sheer and utter boredom. I managed to get to the part where Nina returned from the dead for the second time, then I just couldn't take it anymore.
The story is about Nina, who dies in a traffic accident, leaving her boyfriend Rob on the brink of suicide and in a very dark place. When he does manage to find a shimmer of hope in the form of colleague Holly from the supermarket, Nina returns from the grave to interfere whenever they are being intimate.
What killed off my interest in "Nina Forever" was the excessive focus on sex in the about 30 minutes or so that I managed to watch of this ordeal of a movie. It was just too much, and it wasn't helping the movie in any bit. Quite the contrary actually, it was a cumbersome anchor dragging the movie down.
I didn't care one bit for the characters in the movie, as they were essentially as interesting as wet cardboard. Nor can I claim to find much of any interest in the storyline. Sure, the synopsis sounded like this could actually be a fun movie to watch. But it was just painfully killed off by the focus on sex and directors Ben Blaine's and Chris Blaine's urge to show nudity on the screen.
Sure, I had expected this to be a comedy of sorts, and perhaps one that would bring zombies into the frame. But it just wasn't that at all.
I am not going to bother with a second trip to finish "Nina Forever", because it just didn't appeal to anything for me. And I am rating it a mere three out of ten stars, given the fact that it had good camera work, good cinematography and good editing. The rest, nah, not so much...
