Troll
Trama
Cuando el gigante emerge de las profundidades del Monte Dovre, causa estragos en el paisaje, dejando destrucción y caos a su paso. El pueblo de Noruega está presa del miedo al descubrir que el destino de la criatura es la propia capital. En medio del pánico, una joven llamada Anne se ve obligada a afrontar su propia mortalidad al descubrir que los trolls no son monstruos descerebrados, sino seres ancestrales que buscan vengarse de la humanidad por errores del pasado. A medida que el ejército de trolls marcha hacia Oslo, la nación se tambalea al borde del colapso. En un esfuerzo por detener la ola de destrucción, surge un grupo de héroes improbables: el excéntrico tío de Anne, Harry; su mejor amigo, Peter; y un misterioso desconocido llamado Olaf. Juntos, se embarcan en una peligrosa búsqueda para llegar a la guarida del troll y negociar con su líder, el temible Rey Troll. Al adentrarse en el corazón de la montaña de Dovre, el grupo descubre que los trolls no son solo bestias descerebradas, sino seres ancestrales con su propia cultura, costumbres y motivaciones. Anne, en particular, forma una conexión con la hija del Rey Troll, Giselle, quien comparte su deseo de paz y coexistencia. A medida que las tensiones aumentan y el destino de Noruega pende precariamente de un hilo, Anne y sus compañeros deben afrontar sus propios prejuicios e inclinaciones para forjar una improbable alianza con los trolls. Con la capital a punto de ser invadida, deben trabajar juntos para encontrar una manera de detener la destrucción y restaurar la armonía entre humanos y trolls. En esta emocionante aventura, "Troll" explora temas de identidad, comunidad y el poder de la comprensión ante la adversidad. Con sus impresionantes efectos visuales, personajes memorables y una historia fascinante, esta película seguramente cautivará al público de todas las edades.

Hilarious! It's your standard monster movie playbook. From the plot points to the visual design, it's all so familiar. This template is tough to innovate on. The only thing that's kind of interesting is the troll itself, drawn from Norse folklore. Overall, it's like a Nordic-themed McDonald's. Unexpectedly, the special effects are pretty decent (last time I saw a troll was in that 2010 mockumentary, *Trollhunter*). Ha! The end credits song is, of course, "In the Hall of the Mountain King" from Peer Gynt! (Indian people applaud!)

Okay, here's the translation focusing on the key aspects you've highlighted: "The troll itself is almost secondary – it's really a symbol. What's more interesting is the film's focus on female characters, particularly their prominent roles within the government response. It emphasizes a science-based approach, prioritizing reason and logic in the face of the extraordinary. Visually, the film is clean and polished – from the environments to the characters themselves. Ultimately, it offers a detailed look at how a developed nation might grapple with a crisis of this magnitude, highlighting the complexities and necessary procedures."

The plot is cliché from start to finish: a mystery is uncovered in an unknown land, scientists are urgently summoned, the scientists clash, then the scientists' theories are proven correct, a search for someone in the know, clues sought within mythology, an insider throwing obstacles in the way, hackers causing havoc, the original sin that started it all is found, politicians want to unleash a massacre, and a peaceful resolution is reached at the last second. #Every plot point is a copy from past movies# More could have been explored about the origin of the troll, giving it a greater sense of historical weight.

An environmental film, I initially anticipated a modern-day fairy tale. However, the ending felt overly contrived. Committing to either a completely dark conclusion or a thorough redemption could have been far more impactful. Instead, the film first threatens destruction, then pivots to rescue, ultimately depicting the troll trapped and killed by natural sunlight. This reeks of an agenda of having it both ways, aiming to kill the beast while simultaneously evading judgment for doing so. It's frustratingly anthropocentric.

Deep beneath the Earth's surface, an ancient terror stirs, unleashing chaos upon the world. Troll, a Norwegian disaster film, brings the legend to life as a gigantic creature awakens from its 1,000-year slumber, rampaging across the country, leaving destruction in its wake. As the monster hurtles towards the capital, a team of brave individuals must band together to stop the beast and save their homeland from impending doom.
