I must be less critical than my kin across the pond. Maybe it's lockdown boredom. But I'm finding it intriguing to watch as it's set 8 years after the book was written. I'd say it's worth a go.
Just finished the 1st episode, I thought it was quite good. Set in the early 1900's when the most advanced way of communication was a telegraph and how slow a small village reacts to the first landing of the Martins. I always compare my experience with this movie to the 1953 classic, I was most disappointed by any other remakes of the script. but this plays out more based on a story and its mood, not amazing special effects. Looking forward to the next episodes.
Great first episode. Sets the scene perfectly over 100 years ago. The correct time period makes this a better representation of HG Wells work.
Amazing how polarized the comments are on Trakt on this movie. I hate to take sides but it is incontestable that this is a way way over average Sci-fi film. So much total crapola is being released (yes that’s you Rebel Moon, the Creator, the Kitchen etc.) that it’s hard to criticize this movie. Even if it is a bit slow at times and perhaps a bit pretentious.
Omg I am so disappointed.
I had high expectations.
He took his helmet off WTF!!!!!
Where are the grunts?? I only sa elites.
It’s notebable that the dint researched the original ip.
Again Hollywood took an ip and did there own cheap thing with it. To get maximum money out of it. With less effort. generic story writing. Human on human
Baby sitting a human girl. Do I need to go on?
Only plus point is the look of the Spartans
Action it self is good.
Everything else is bad generic cheap writhing.
A whole season and the main plot has not advanced an inch. It ends in the same point as season one. The episode was more entertaining that others of this season, which has been really boring and I would say even bad written. As a whole, I find season 2 very poor.
This whole is season is like untangling a ball of yarn as soon as you untangle a knot 54 four new knots are created.
I've never played the game. Season one was watchable, enjoyable at moments. Season two occasionally entertained without eye rolling. As many sci-fi shows go, the story gets too convoluted. This pretty much guarantees what I got for the season finale. A hot mess poured into a blender and creating a lukewarm broth of indifference. That pairs well with my confusion. What a massive let down. If there's another season, it will be hard for me to care.
I, who have never played games before, can't even understand what the tv show is about.
Everyone is just saying random shit and then "puzzle solved!" I don't know if I should laugh or cry :sob:
Why did they change Cortana? Was it because in the first season she was CGI and now she's a real actress? Budget cut?
Anyway, I liked the first one better... Sigh!
They had to make it WOKE of course. They needed to ruin a good show of course.
It would have been far better if they condensed the last 2 episodes into 1.
This show would have really benefited from longer episodes. By itself, this episode does barely anything other than showing the bad batch sneaking around and omega planning to escape (again). If they just made an hour long episode showing the omega rescue mission from start to finish it would be great. Instead, we are getting drip fed small parts that are boring by themselves.
Wow that was good, one of the better episodes this season. Reminded me of Andor. Really captures the loneliness and the quiet, controlled horror of the empire.
I thought they're not after her for having a high M-count, but for her ability to retain any transplanted. And, ultimately, so they can take her apart, see how she ticks and modify Snoke (Palpatine's clone) to accept "M" transplants successfully, so they can supe up his M-count.
Back to filler episodes.
Omega meditates with Crosshair to help with his tremor - a shout back to the Jedi apprentice on Kashyyk who presumably told her how to meditate... Would have wished we'd actually seen her meditate before, maybe during her captivity in her cell, instead of just out of the blue being told. However, I love Crosshair, and it's good that it's recognized that what he went through was no picnick either.
Hunter and Wrecker helping Fennec with one of her bounties in order to find out about the m-count... hm... a bit boring to be honest. And I'm wondering if Rex shouldn't know about midichlorians - I mean Anakin, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan must have mentionned something about them at some point. Instead they involve someone who isn't really trustworthy? Questionable.
What an amazing ending to a beautiful tv show.
The background score for this episode was just fantabulous.
Loved how they ended it. Absolutely amazing.
10/10
Great show from beginning to end. Band of Brothers is still superior but I did enjoy this a lot. The actors did a fantastic job and the CGI throughout the show was amazing as well.
I particularly liked how they closed it out with the references to the real life people. As the grandson of two WW2 US Army veterans in the European and Pacific theaters, this is a generation that sacrificed so much for us to preserve our way of life, and we owe such a debt of gratitude to them.
Loved this series it was awesome
A glimpse of D-Day from the air..and they are saving up everything for the final episode. Can't wait to watch the last episode also kinda sad that it's going to end.
It just gets better and better so looking forward to next week !!! Looks fab
Crap episode this show just keeps getting worse with every episode sigh
THIS SHOW IS STARTING TO SUCK REALLLLLLY QUICK! Remove Kwan's side story and every other side story and focus on master chief's story. People watch halo to watch master chief, not all these dumb ass side stories.
Kwan: Take the helmet off, they'll notice you. Kid takes helmet off and holds it. There is no way they can see the helmet when he is holding it....... dumb.
I do not like the "new" cortana. Stop fixing shit that ain't broke.
Unimpressed with the "build up" to the covenant attack. THIS ALL SEEMS SO DAM CHEESY!
MASTER CHIEF SHOULD HAVE NEVER TAKEN HIS HELMET OFF!
Dam Liberal Hollywood has to make every white role an ethnic one. So old!
Lowered my rating as I was so bored on S2E1 I turned it off.
They managed to turn the epic story of Halo into the same nonsense that US has been pushing out the last few years:
"Let's make everyone corrupt, there are conspiracies everywhere, everyone is evil, and everyone whines a lot! We're such great writers, wow!"
