Started strong but with this episode the story line just got stupid. So they were not suppose to have a kid & they did. Got screwed and want to now destroy everything. And the fool was suppose to pay attention knowing his girlfriend was going to get pushed and didn’t pay attention. So now he wan to destroy the world so he can go back. Very stupid. Let’s see if it gets better…
No idea what the 500 years a go is about. Looked stupid and out of place.
The first part was a bit boring, overly focused on the Fremen world and how Paul and his mother were welcomed into the desert people. In the second part however, the pace was excessively hasty, at several moments you have the feeling that someone has pressed the fast forward button, and you find yourself out of breath at the end of the film. A real shame, because Dune part one was an authentic narrative masterpiece, and personally I had high expectations for part two. Of course, the photography is always amazing, and the acting is also excellent, but narratively the film was a disappointment. In the end it felt like I was watching the second episode of a TV series, waiting for part three (?).
This is the most overrated movie I have ever seen. It is not a terrible movie but people giving this 9's and 10's must be in love with the smell of Timothee Chalamets farts.
Some of the dialogue in this movie is laughably bad which is a shame because the cast is extremely strong and capable.
There were pacing issues throughout the movie - the fight at the end seemed like it just kinda happened with no build up. There was no tension or payoff to the big battle, just a big fight with a bunch of decent looking CGI.
Austin Butlers character and the Harkinnen moments were the best parts of the movie. I enjoyed that arc.
The penultimate moment of Timothee vs Austin was super predictable, and executed in a dull and boring way. The outcome was also very obvious.
Great visuals, although I would not say "innovative" visuals. The Creator, released last year, for example, was far more visually appealing than Dune Part Two, on a lower budget.
Super mid movie, worth your money, and nice to look at (especially in IMAX) but giving this a 9 or 10 is wild
I have no idea what I WAS expecting to happen in this seasons premiere but THIS wasn't it.
I feel like I've missed an entire season worth of storyline. The one thing I did understand is that Madrigal is gone. Glassed. So much for all that resistance talk in season one. I guess it was all for nil. And what about the portal that's supposed to be there ? But if there is one person that survived it had to be Kwan.
New characters so far are awful. That new "boss" is a walking cliché. I would like to say I'm excitied to have the show back but after just this episode I'm more worried than excited.
I've soldiered through all 6 episodes and now can have my informed opinion. I'm so glad this mistake is finally over. Unfortunately, it stains the big title name forever.
I guess they buried all those dead bodies in the plot holes.
Cinematography and acting are top notch, just wish the story moved a little faster.
For now it's just been 3h of "people surviving disasters", which isn't the worst ... unless you were expecting more sci-fi stuff (which of course we were, lol).
Starting to remind me of the TV show designated survivor when it took a hard left turn and flopped.
Missed opportunity for Keeley to complain that "he's here, he's there, he's every-f*cking-where".
Damn. Fury is deep in that Skrussy.
I liked the premise of this episode... but the execution was sloppy at best.
First of all Jim Kirk... why does he hang around on Enterprise for hours? Doesn't he have somewhere else to be? And the ending seemed awfully forced when Jim and Uhura were in the bar and all of a sudden Spock joins them... why exactly would he do that? I would have understood if Jim or Spock had played chess and the other one was eager for a challenge... but for Spock to join Uhura and Kirk whom he doesn't know at that point... no, too far-fetched. Also the family drama with Sam... urgh... who cares if Sam thinks his dad might not be as excited about his career in science as he is about Jim's career? Sorry, but I don't need Jim Kirk on this show (especially not one who's as far away from being Kirk as Quinto was from being Spock...
Then there's the resolution about the deuterium aliens... again, I liked the premise... but the ending was way too rushed... it's like they ran out of time. Uhura rushes to the bridge, tells Pike that her hallucinations are actually aliens without any kind of scientific proof... and Pike hurries to destroy a whole station? It's not the resolution itself that bothers me, it's the way it's shown. (And let's just abandon common sense in that apparently there's no big manual emergency button to stop the station from collecting deuterium or just some way to cut the power to the system other than destroying the whole station...)´
Anyway, it's back to rather mediocre episodes - or poorly executed plots, to be more precise. The ideas are there.
Better again, although I have to wonder if 1. the collapse of the mountain could contain the radiation, and 2. why they didn't have that passenger vehicle of the convoy pick up the driver and the commander right there in the tunnel... would have bought quite some time and spared us the Jack Ryan is such a hero storyline.
At least we're rid off Petr.
Again, this episode was a bit better than the last ones, but still the story is quite thin for 8 episodes. The whole Czech-Nato, Kovac family drama and the endless flashbacks to that liquidation order back in the 80s and its ramifications today seem like filler material - who cares?
but like.. did the pregnant lady get any real help? Did they also bring the supplies aboard???
Maybe it’s just me… but I feel like the relationship between Jamie and this new Tom Christie character wasn’t made very clear. I don’t quite understand how/why they are rivals, and I don’t understand what Christie’s intentions are by settling on the Ridge. I dunno… I believe his introduction could’ve been handled better. Again, maybe it’s just me.
A Dad like that isn't going to waste his beer by pouring it on his kids head.
Imogen's change of heart regarding the New Dawn is a mystery. Of course that dialogue could have been an act with the love-making scenes ultimate, "Louder, so they hear", as a closing parentheses.
Great episode, but it really bugs me that this is classed as a 'special'. This is a straight-up episode of Downton Abbey, only longer. Starting season 3 without watching this first would be entirely wrong, so much would be missed. Special episodes should be stand-alone and shouldn't impact the overall plot/direction of a show going forwards.
Again, fantastic episode, but by no means is this a 'special' episode.
i wish i had no Memory of ever watching this.
So they took their only working weapon to Kaylon Prime and the only two people who can operate it to an diplomatic mission into the enemy's headquarter? Hmm... Plus, it's way too easy to capture the weapon. But for dramatic purposes, I'll accept this.
Apart from that, this is an other solid episode. I like the massive space ship armadas fighting. Sometimes even I like some Star Wars action (which begs the question whether that's the next franchise they are about to take on). I like the peace making (be strong and negotiate from a position of strength but don't humiliate your enemy). I like the alliance building. I like the contemplation about the implications of such a WMD. This philosophical question is clearly not the core of this episode but it's nice to see that this has been noticed (and drives the plot forward in the first place).
And they got the emotional part just right (she's also a proxy for all lives been lost in the battle). I always liked her. Not sure why others didn't. Yes, admittedly, she was annoying at times but all in all her background story was credible and her character development until this point was well-explained. But her fate was more than just an emotional outburst. It served a real purpose with wider political implications. Kudos to the writers.
Overbloated beyond belief. Lots of pointless dialogue scenes that serve absolutely no purpose. Particularly annoying is the overextended boring epilogue that goes on forever. Sure there are good scenes here and there,, but not enough to justify the two hour plus running time. This episode ought to have been 75 minutes maximum.
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.
"I don't know how all the Van Helsing magic bullshit works"
Amen, brother. No one does.
After the previous episode, this is the epitome of a buzzkill.
It's all a bit wishy washy and still not feeling the whole point of the season being Qs fuckery.
On the other hand we now have my weirdest ship to date! Agnes Jurati and the damn Borg Queen.
Borgnes... Nope, Queerati.
When I thought this show couldn't get worse, it did.
What is it with Elsa and snot running down her nose?Lightning with the snotty beak.
The only episode where I recall genuinely laughing out loud. Not because this show isn't funny — its almost constant bleaker tone doesn't really leave much room for tears of laughter (only the other kind of tears) — but that lady and her homemade desserts... Oh my. Yes, it was a bit crude and basic humour, but the way it was unexpectedly inserted in a show of this nature caught me off guard.
And I really enjoyed how this episode, unlike the others, ended on a more positive note. People may be shit, but Tony may be finally seeing a glimpse of the better side of humanity in a few of them.
