Alchemist Amelia has gained the forbidden magical power to alter the flow of time. But abusing her new abilities splits her in time, and Amélie from the present meets Amélie from the past. Moreover, a new threat arises from the darkness of time – the alchemist Lord of the Runes wants to rule over all magic in Oberon, and thus must end Amelia’s control over time. Amélie and her friends travel to the magical city of Ayra, home to the Society of Alchemists, protectors of magic, and confront both their most powerful adversary and their own desire for forbidden power.

It doesn't beat the originality and the villain of the first one, but it does beat the sterile and uninspired second one. The Equalizer thankfully didn't end up like, say, Taken, and with the third film, the duo Washington-Fuqua made a worthy finale, or let McCall age with honor and in the beautiful Amalfi setting. Last Chapter is surprisingly less action-packed than the previous installments and shapes the mix of the fragile family atmosphere of a small town that has its own specific spiritual charge vs. extreme violence and gore quite adequately, something Fuqua is unafraid of and knows how to handle pretty well. Nothing beats the opening scene, and no other passage even comes close, but as a whole the third Equalizer is watchable. Denzel is no longer an invincible killer, but a vulnerable older man, plagued by the demons of his past, and every now and then he kicks someone's ass and does what's right along the way through life. Exactly between 3-4.

Sequels to successful movies can be just as good, there are even cases where they are better, but more often than not, they are just disappointing. And I don't just mean Czech filmography; it's a worldwide trend. So I approached the sequel to Princess with extreme caution. In some ways, I was pleasantly surprised because the creators put effort into the action sequences and improved the special effects (although they were not without flaws), so I can't complain about that (especially when the bad guys reminded me of the Scarlet Crusade from WoW: TBC). However, the positives ended there because I wouldn't say I liked the story despite the filmmakers' efforts. Due to the running time, the story obviously had to be simplified. There was material for at least two feature-length films here. The biggest (although expected) disappointment was the acting performances, at least most of them, except for Simona Zmrzlá. I could use Eliska Krenkova's monotonous delivery and expression to cure my insomnia; I'm sure it would work better for me than sleeping pills. It wasn't a total disaster, but I enjoyed the first installment much more. / Lesson learned: It wasn't that easy in the past, but you can have your tattoo removed using a laser now.
