This show was over hyped and in general it was quite boring with mediocre acting. It should have never seen a second season.
Fans of the game will find many issues with this movie. This movie was made for people who know about dungeons and dragons only through pop culture shows like strangers things. The producers of the movie openly admitted to emasculating the male characters so that the female characters are uplifted in the movie. I don't understand why you cant let each character reach their potential. How is it the bard did nothing and meanwhile the druid wild shaped 7 times in under a minute? The movie also put a ton of focus on the father daughter relationship between Edgin and Kira. God what a snooze fest. This is something you wouldn't see roleplayed or actually a part of a campaign. The fight at the end was the only redeemable part. It felt true to the speed of a fight in D&D if played out in full speed. Also the staf only had a range of 500 feet but then at end of the movie it conveniently changes to a quarter mile?
The best part of the show is Tudyk's ability to convey the awkwardness, curiosity, and genuine alien nature of Harry is a testament to his remarkable talent as an actor. He fully embraces the quirks and idiosyncrasies of the character, bringing him to life in a way that feels both comical and surprisingly endearing.
The supporting characters did not receive much in terms of character development. They often served as mere plot devices to move the story forward or provide comic relief, with their own backgrounds and motivations largely unexplored. This lack of depth made it difficult to invest in their stories or care about their fates.
The plot of "Resident Alien" also suffered from pacing issues and a lack of meaningful progression. It felt as though the series meandered aimlessly at times, with subplots that failed to connect or pay off in a satisfying way. This lack of cohesion left the audience wondering where the show was heading and whether there was a larger narrative at play.
Resident Alien is a prime example of a promising concept that was let down by lackluster writing. While the show has its moments of humor and charm, it ultimately falls short of its potential, leaving viewers longing for a more thoughtful and engaging exploration of its central premise. If you're a fan of science fiction and expect depth and nuance in your storytelling, you may find "Resident Alien" to be a disappointing experience.
I enjoyed Fury. Shia Lebuff, Brad Pitt, Michael Pena, and Jon Bernthal sold me that they had spent countless hours together inside that tank. I was impressed by their ability to act together so comfortably. The film doesn't have the emotional pull of something like Saving private ryan or Generation war. It is sad and intense and filled with action. I would recommend this movie to military fans, history buffs, or those interested in action packed movies.
Where can I watch this?
