Fuego En El Cielo

I was in the mood for an action-filled, silly-but-fun disaster movie tonight, and this was exactly that--except to my deep disappointment, it was dubbed. Every dubbed film I have ever seen ruins the film with terrible translations that make dialog provokingly inane and the film hard to watch. I like hearing the original language, and the actual voices of the actors, and besides the terrible translations, the acting of the dubbing voices are much worse! I once had the misfortune to see a dubbed version of Crouching Tiger on cable, and I was horrified that even that exquisitely beautiful, sad film was reduced to a farce, with laughable, horrendous dialog and acting. I wish the Skyfire version I saw on Crackle tonight had had subtitles; it would surely have been less ludicrous.

Ah, well. In addition to the many special effects, it would seem that young lovers can swim underwater (with no diving tanks) and hold their breath for at least half an hour...! I wish I could do that.
