Get ready to witness the Girl of Steel like never before! 'Supergirl', now playing in Belgian cinemas, is a thrilling ride that combines cosmic stakes with deeply personal drama. Directed by Craig Gillespie, known for his work on 'I, Tonya' and 'Cruella', this film takes Kara Zor-El on a revenge-fueled adventure after a ruthless adversary strikes too close to home.
Did you know? Milly Alcock, who plays Supergirl, is the youngest actress to ever portray the character on the big screen at just 26 years old. She underwent intense physical training to master the role, including wire work for flight sequences. The film also features a surprising team-up with an unlikely companion, played by Belgian actor Matthias Schoenaerts, adding a unique dynamic to the story.
The movie's visual effects team spent over 18 months creating the interstellar landscapes and epic battle scenes, blending practical effects with CGI to give a tactile, immersive feel. With a runtime of 108 minutes, 'Supergirl' packs a punch without overstaying its welcome, though its TMDB rating of 5.6/10 suggests it's a divisive entry in the superhero genre.
For fans of action and sci-fi, this film offers a fresh perspective on a beloved character, with a focus on vengeance and justice that sets it apart from traditional superhero fare. Catch it at a cinema near you!
