Great episode, but it didn't feel like Black Mirror. It's missing the sci-fi element, the dystopian topic, the futuristic technology aspect.
Wouldn’t it be easier and safer to put the robots (replicas) on the space mission? Like duh? They do not need life support system, food, and physical activity. Would it be nicer if they actual humans stayed in their homes and spend their time with family?
Somehow, the pilot of story twisted to make us watch 80 minutes episode, almost as long as a movie. Just to tell us that we need to take care of our family and loved ones! The only explanation for this movie plot is that the astronauts were already in a long distance space mission and later on, they have decided to make the replicas for their families.
Starts off pretty bad then all of a sudden you've been awake for 20 hours and binge watched the entire thing.
Persevere through those initial few bad episodes and you're in for a right treat.
I've never saw a episode so humanized. You can feel the pain from the villain and the heroes. And the long take (car scene) was the best of MCU until now - I didn't remember any long take, just saying.
I’ve never been a Sandra Bullock fan, but I found her performance in Bird Box rather incredible. In fact, the whole cast was superb. Great execution. My favourite thriller of 2018.
The ending was quite excellent, hinting subtly that perhaps things were not what they seemed. Did she make it, or were things just too good to be true? The idyllic paradise in the midst of the apocalypse, survivors lounging on the grass, enjoying carefree conversation? Oooooh, I don’t know ...
You don’t really need to watch what if to understand this but it’ll help. You really do need to see Wanda vision though, you don’t have to but it would be incredibly confusing if you don’t understand wandas motivations as she is the main antagonist
The main characters make such stupid mistakes at every turn, do they learn nothing? I’m liking the little brother’s story the most because I feel the characters and story are actually progressing.
Some good moments this episode but also a lot of nonsense. I don't understand how it makes any sense for any of them to not agree to Reginald's plan? They are literally all about to die anyway, so it's entirely redundant for anyone to make the argument that they might die if they follow the plan. Doesn't matter if Reginald is hiding something or if it's some sort of trap. They are literally ALL GOING TO DIE. It makes zero sense for anyone not to take the chance.
The action sequences were solid, particularly the martial arts, and the casting and acting were also fine but the script is a mess, the pacing is off, and the second half feels goofy and disjointed from the first half. The second half action was difficult to follow and felt like a DC cluster f--- aimed at the Chinese market. HOWEVER, I am looking forward to seeing Shang-Chi utilized in the future films.
That was a heavily loaded episode. But the writers already said loong beforehand they'd include these topics/are contemplating on how to deal with writing a cop show in these times, so no surprise there. They did a good job, especially not ending on a joke, even if the second episode sets itself free from the context of the precinct to be "fun" again even if it might be for just one episode. It's foremost a comedy after all and making fun inside the precinct is going to be difficult in this last season, given what's going on currently in this world. Completely ignoring it, in quite a diverse cop show no less that never shied away from addressing issues, would be irresponsible. Personally, I am looking forward how - if at all - they are going to deal with what this first episode set in motion in this challenging last season. This show never shied away from addressing the elephant in the room, never too subtle either. But now it's a problem for some?
It's an interesting movie to watch, but it doesn't really stand out between all the other good horror movies that came out recently. This movie wasn't bad, the cast was good, but sadly the movie was predictable which sadly was a minus in my opinion.
Would recommend for a horror night.
Wow.
Just got back from the cinemas. I think the movie is great.
The mix of humor, action and darkness and some really good twists.
The last 10 minutes are also perfect. Everyone was shocked.
The haters are going to hate this movie. Mostly because they just default to hating Captain Marvel and Ms Marvel. Come in just looking for things to hate. But this movie is a LOT of fun. Go in in a light hearted mood. Numerous things had me laughing out loud in the cinema.
The end could have been wrapped up a bit faster.
And OMFG THE MID-CREDITS SCENE!!! OMGOMGOMOGOD!!! (there is no post-credits scene).
Again, didn't feel like a Black Mirror episode at all. Could be "American Horror Stories" but not BM. What a letdown
I don't know what this plot is trying to convey. You said it might be a satire of paparazzi, but then suddenly a celebrity hits someone and flees. You think the female protagonist will use secret photography to expose the truth, but instead, she finds out that the female celebrity is being held captive. You think that the plot will reveal that the doctor is a pervert, but instead, the female celebrity suddenly turns into a werewolf and goes on a killing spree. You thought this might introduce other fantastic plot twists, but she is injured by the female lead and returns to her original form. The female celebrity asks the female lead to kill her, and the female lead hands her the gun. The female celebrity drinks the bullet and commits suicide. Then, the female lead takes a picture of the scene, and that's the ending. I am full of question marks.
Two episodes in and I’m already convinced by the end of the season this will be regarded in the same vein as GOT, Chernobyl, and Breaking Bad are one of the best shows there ever was. This is some seriously impeccable television.
Not a fan of the boring Russian subplot.
World Premiere Review: Sam Raimi, you legend. This was one of, if not the most, fun MCU movie yet. It's very Evil Dead inspired visually, particularly the camera work. The character arcs here are fantastic, the action is wonderfully violent (the multiverse gives so much opportunity to kill off characters without impacting the main timeline too much), and the pacing is great, just go see it.
I don’t get the negativity. Honestly you people are so entitled. The lack of context is intentional and there are several clues as to why it’s that way. It’s not a 50s to show (we haven’t seen them imitate a 60s tv show yet, that’s next week). It’s going to change probably every week, even up to the point of imitating modern tv shows like the office from what they’ve said. And the context is clear enough by the end of the second episode. Even without reading additional articles to explain the more subtle hints, you can tell what’s going on at least loosely. Plus it does a great job lampooning the absurdity of 50s tv and ideals about homemaking and marriage. To hilarious effect
A few minutes in and Iron Fist / Danny Rand is already getting on my nerves.
This movie isn't as bad as everyone made it to be. It's so much better than Fantastic Four and you're an idiot if you even think of comparing them to each other.
Aww, snap twice like in the Addams Family theme song. Would have been great to hear a couple of notes of it during the discovery!
Stormfront is all about female empowerment but also a sadistic racist? Damn. This show really isn't afraid of anything and I love it xD Can't wait for the moment she gets killed by Kimiko.
It's just a bad shoulder wound, she'll be fine, because it's going to be a dark, dark day if anything happens to human Gideon.
The end of the movie was the very first time I agreed with one of Wanda's actions... Good thing it was her last action too.
Can't wait for the next movie!
Good acting, it is a shame they went with the Scooby Doo writers guild. They had so many options for the writers to do more than making just another cop show. Zombies, crime writers, cops from the future, people with amnesia all fighting crime. Seems that the only professions that exist in TV land are cop, cop sidekick, doctor or lawyer.
This series is so mindblowingly great
This finale clearly was made to be a series finale, in case anything wrong happens again, but it was so exciting. I liked that the scheme with 10 episodes made the story more clear and objective, but they also explored every character in his own way (except Dan, who I thought was kind of a dead body in this season). Anyway, it was a very good episode for me, that fought for this series on social media, and I hope they continue for at least more one season.
If they don't, I'm pleased by the ride and thankful for the end.
