So invested in this series, I feel compelled to see it through, despite the agonising grind, obsession with long sequences of meaningful looks from Elizabeth Moss, and a soundtrack that drowns out the dialogue.
It’s a strange one, certainly original. I didn’t think it started well, it even seemed a bit silly. But, I’m glad I’ve kept watching, as it’s growing on me and I find the concept interesting.
It’s thought provoking in a way, considering the basics of the story and how the world would be in such a situation. It’s something I’ve never given thought too.
I don’t particularly understand the sexual scenes or the relevance to why it’s part of the story, it just seems stupid to think they’d use sexual pleasure as a way to pray or communicate to god. It’s weird and unnecessary.
I’ve watched 3 and as much as I’ve enjoyed it, I think the storyline maybe predictable. However, I do still love the basic concept and the thought in to how the world would adapt and progress under those circumstances.
Looking forward to watching more and hope my initial thoughts of being predictable are proven wrong; it’s still early days.
This was a struggle to finish. Found it very boring compared to previous episdoes
very good show, I hope we get season 2 with more than 6 episodes.
my verdict on this is that it would've been much better as a narrative-driven video game. not a tv miniseries, not a franchise, just a well rounded video game with a decent story and fun game mechanics.
don't expect anything mind blowing and you'll enjoy this. it's a generic sci fi movie and there's not nearly enough of dylan o brien's cute face to level it up from there. some dialogue is silly, the cgi varies from excellent to passable (i wonder how sick of rendering breaking glass these vfx artists are) and there's a lot of weird plot holes and nonsensical physics going on that never get explained. if it's setting up for a sequel, okay i guess.
i think this is worth a watch for some of the cast members. jason mantzoukas mostly, i mean. mark wahlberg is so wooden in sci fi, he must just not act as well when there's a lot of cgi and he has to interact with green screens and props instead of reality? because he's been pretty decent other times. i also just don't like him though.
I'm in the minority who thinks Loki is good only in small doses. But I have to say I liked how introspective he was here. May we see a less obnoxious version of the character?
Simply unbearable. A bad combo of concepts from previous works of fiction. Decades into the future, fighting swats of primal creatures/aliens (go figure that contradiction), using foot soldiers and rudimentary weapons, really? "It's not a souvenir, it's a reminder" - who writes this bull?
Also, the part where Dan Forester meets the female colonel played by Yvonne, that was a cliché of epic proportions.
Main flaw though: too long for a mediocre film.
This too early to have a filler episode. Waste of an hour. Watch the first 5 mins and last 5 mins. Rest has zero value to story progression.
Raylan in space! I could use more Raylan.
what an awful movie
90% of the film is him walking and dealing with useless and meaningless shit
it's like if you buy a game and only do side quests (not the fun ones!)
speaking of games, this film is the equivalent of Death Stranding, just walking and no action
I only gave it 3/10 because I liked the visuals other than that this movie lacks in everything
awful story, no character development and most importantly no clear vision
they just wanted to do a film and seem smart about it
huge fail
Makes the 2017 cut looks like trash!
It should be noted that the show had to cut 2 episodes worth of content from the original 10 episodes order due to dissatisfaction with the materal produced, so if this episode feels not satisfying enough for a season finale... well, now you know why.
Can’t believe I watched this whole series for it to come down to this. What a joke.
I f*king cried, Luke at the end & R2 ?! best episode ever. This even tops the sequel triolgy for me. You know, this even makes 2020 a good year. 10/10
I wish I could give it a 10 (which I very very rarely do) -Season one is excellent in every aspect but one:
The timeline is blurry and confusing as f***.
Events taking place decades apart are only put into their place by a character dropping that something happened three decades ago in passing.
Normally that wouldn't be an issue, but most characters don't age!
I am still a bit confused as to why the bard doesn't age, since he seems to be human (I'm at Episode 6, so I hope they do explain it in one of the last episodes, but I doubt it)
That combinations makes it really hard to keep track of what happened before, what happened after and what happens at the same time.
P.S.: I don't know the books, so I have no idea if they had the same problems.
I took a look at the descriptions for the books though and some elements seem to coincide with the first prequel book. So I assume they are meshing prequel and original books together somehow.
Nope just nope, worst season ever, new actors are okay, acting is decent, script? Bad, just plain bad, lets make up this girl come magically and save and finish the story. What the hell was that ending? The whole season was just tasteless. Worst, season, ever!
(i kinda was hoping nardole to turn up to be missy's new regeneration.)
am I the only one who thought in the beginning that Logan dying was a ploy to somehow fuck over the kids again :sweat_smile::upside_down:
……nah it was just me & maybe I ended up caring for the bastard in the end (help)
I expected it the whole time.
We have to go back, Kate! We have to go back!!!
No.. to all the comments... you will be surprised.. It's a banger of a movie and I refuse to give any spoilers. Next to Midsummer and Hereditary, my favourite so far!
I see that people are optimistic but isn't Dune a sprawling epic. I don't think a movie with even great actors can really captured the magic that made the Dune series as beloved as it is. I would have rather watched this on HBO than in the theater. So, fingers crossed and I hope it doesn't fail.
And I'm still bored AF. I'm in till the end though, but still I wouldn't recommend it.
Nope. Just nope.
First, too soon. We're still in a middle of a pandemic.
Acting sucks, editing sucks.
As a Stephen King fanatic, this is just offensive. The mini-series with Gary Sinise was awesome, but this is just surfing the pandemic/heard hype.
Best Walking Dead Episode Ever!
Labs on lockdown? Lets vent all that to the atmosphere every 30 minutes! Double air-sealed doors that don't auto-shut and allow you to open one without closing the other... so what's the point of double doors? A computer program written to let you misplace a decimal point and disrupt the experiment by the scale of 1,000. The lab fire didn't include the area that the guy's dead body was in. Glad to see they milked getting the doctor's eyesite back for 2 whole episodes. I cannot wait for Moffat to be gone, he doesn't even try now.
Season 12 is really bad.
They should have stopped in season 11.
Nothing can go next to God/Amara things...
The plot is not good; it's cheap and uses very offensive stereotypes, but is some of the best military porn I have ever seen.
Boring. Convoluted. Aimless. Could be beyond saving very soon.
I enjoyed this movie.....oh is that wrong? was I not supposed to like this movie?
