What you do not experienced as a “Symbologe”: After the search for the Holy Grail and the fight against the Illuminati, Robert Langdon must save now only take a short time to the world. With other words: There is a new Dan Brown film adaptation.

some characters in films and stories to experience, seemingly at a 08/15-day more than the normal citizen in his life, we know at least since the Five friends and the Three question marks. Also, Harvard Professor Robert Langdon – from the pen of bestselling author Dan Brown joins the ranks of the fantasy figures that seem to stumble on a nearly daily basis in a new adventure. The of the profession as a “Symbologe

So it got Langdon in “The Da Vinci Code” already with the Hardcore-to-do Catholics of Opus Dei, as well as with the ominous brotherhood, Priory of Sion. Not to mention the search for the Holy Grail. In “Illuminati” showed up, he not only in the world of the infamous secret society of the Illuminati, he chased also the first ever produced anti-matter. And in “The lost Symbol” he came but smooth with the Masonic myths in the enclosure. However, so far only on paper – brown’s third Mystery novel to peewit Langdon was not previously brought to the screen. You have not yet found a suitable access for this is justified by Director Ron Howard.

The typical confusion

Instead, the fourth-Langdon-narrative comes as a third to a movie: “Inferno”. Not only Howard took as in the case of the first two strips in the Director’s chair, Tom Hanks during the taping of the movie for the third Time in the role of the Harvard Professor. And, of course, is what happens to Langdon this time is almost Incredible. This starts after his awakening in a hospital in Florence.

Finally, he can’t remember anything. Not the fact, which is why he is in Florence. Not the fact, which is why he has a head wound. Not about how he gets into the hospital bed. Only: It seems someone is after the life, seek him. Well, that Doctor Sienna Brooks (Felicity Jones) stands to the side, and once to escape helps.

What follows is the typical confusion of the brand, Dan Brown, to mythologically-charged relics, paintings, writings, and artifacts. From the death mask of the middle ages poet Dante Alighieri about the Divine Comedy to the drawing, with the help of the Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli Dante’s idea of hell illustrated one day – all of these are puzzle pieces to contribute to the solution of a big puzzle. And urgently need to. Finally, the answers to all the questions lead to a container with a deadly Virus that could soon wipe out half of humanity. This has certainly set the self-Visionary Bertrand Zobrist (Ben Foster) called for the target to the Overpopulation of the world counter.

A touch of 007

But “Inferno” is also, in addition, with lots of trials, tribulations and surprising twists. Who is good and who is evil? Also, this puzzle is it for Langdon to crack, while Christoph’s brother (Omar Sy), and Elizabeth Sinskey (Sidse Babett Knudsen) of the world health organization have tacked to his heels, and his memory is only slowly returning.

“Inferno” is the number of the Dan Brown film adaptations into the field of Action-Film series, à la “Mission Impossible”, “Jason Bourne” or “die hard”. Almost blows through the strip with its many different locations, the upper evil and no less a Mission than to save time, only the world, a touch of “James Bond”. That wants to now apply for a 60-year-old Hanks for the role of the secret agent in the service of her Majesty, is, however, unlikely. Rather, the Film would be a Bond Girl-a reference for, among other things, from “The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Rise of Electro” well-known Jones or 007-door opener for the as a carer, Driss in “the intouchables” world famous Sy – in whatever role.

Blockbuster despite the Nay-saying

But first, to Hanks and Co by the gripes of dissatisfied viewers, of which there will be “Inferno” as in “The Da Vinci Code” and “Illuminati” again, two groups. The novel-purists – the movie deviates significantly from the literary original. On the other hand, the professional critics. The were often already on the first two Brown adaptations, not good hair. And those who hang on to some logic gaps, some of the Jerkiness in the action, and occasional difficulties to capture all of the historical references to the Fast in its entirety, is to complain about also have to “Inferno” a lot.

More about

The cinema audience, however, was in the past not deterred – “The Da Vinci Code” and “Illuminati” were huge blockbusters. And actually: if you don’t ask the Events on the screen too much behind and brown’s conspiracy fantasy is not about the fee takes seriously, you will feel at the end of “Inferno”. A fortiori, because the strip in the staging gaining in comparison to his two predecessors, again a decent speed. And more good news, there are: The Church, the echauffierte the alleged geschichtsk increases suffered in the previous Brown-strip strong, this time will have hardly something to complain. Finally, this time in the core is not the Holy Grail, Opus Dei, or the Vatican, but an entirely earthly topic: Terror and the salvation of the world in front of him.

“Inferno” runs from the 13. January in the German cinemas
