Melancholia is a very slow moving disaster movie, about a planet
named Melancholia (about the size of the moon) that slams into
Earth, wiping out civilization as we know it. Most of the movie
focuses on a storybook wedding between Justine (Kirsten Dunst) and
Michael (Alexander Skarsgard) that breaks down during the reception
that is put on by a wealthy financier named John (Kiefer Sutherland
of tv series '24' fame). Then the movie focuses on people
waiting for the end, with John setting up his telescope to look at
the approaching planet. Three stars.
This movie is ranked as nonviolent because it has only 5 violent
scenes in it (though a total of 7 billion people die). These
scenes include: A scene of a moon-sized planet crashing into the
Earth, a man breaks a plate, a woman beats a horse, there is a dead
body and the final scene where three people are obliterated along
with the rest of the Earth.
The previews include: A somewhat violent preview for The Girl With
The Dragon Tatoo and nonviolent previews for The Descendants and A
Dangerous Method.
