The funny thing is that after the episode ended, I came here to give it some stars.
The cinematography is great and dancing all looked fantastic. The score was amazing. The editing and sound design were great. It does a good job of creeping you out. A slow burn until the bat shit crazy third act. I need to see it again to even try and begin to understand what happened but I think I loved it.
Best Walking Dead Episode Ever!
There's so much chemistry between Georgina Campbell (Amy) and Joe Cole (Frank) it cracks the screen.
Yep, it's shark week! You can thank my uterus later! #brilliant
The classic teenage slasher. I will never get tired of this movie.
It became a tradition to watch this every 5th of November. By far one of the greatest films ever made, must've seen it 8 or 9 times by now, always blows my mind. If I could rate it 11, I would.
That b/w sequence was absolutely brilliant and althought he was merely the observer D'Onofrio is amazing even without saying a word.
But how on earth did a guy like Dex get past a FBI psych evaluation ?
i got a major problem with the premise: so they modify our genetics to be able to survive titan because we cant survive on Earth, right? so why don´t change us so we could.... just live on earth? ^^
Like someone mentioned elsewhere around here, things were rather enjoyable until his sister showed up. I feel that she drags the show down... Hopefully, she'll have her brains blown to bits in the season finale.
That scene with Kovacs sharing a toast with himself was technically impressive. At least I don't recall ever watching such a "fake twin" scene being shot from that angle and with such proximity between characters. Well done!
Also, that Iridium Experience is some gruesome nasty shit. I really hope they'll manage to bring the whole place down.
Can't believe all of the negative comments. This was a beautifully shot, well thought out story. Everything in it had a purpose. And that final shot was the clincher. This was a story about the human spirit.

Watched again after a few years. Just upgraded his grade from 9 to 10!
I found the story of Zima Blue a kind of catharsis of the concept of artificial intelligence, which at the same time scares us and excites us. A simple robot cleaner who initially evolves thanks to his master, emancipates himself from him to become a more than sentient being, an artist able to touch the highest peaks of creativity. A worlds explorer, who reaches a level of consciousness and knowledge of the whole universe comparable to Dr. Manhattan. Until the epilogue, which I personally find brilliant, the absolute sum of an intelligence...
this is definitely in my top 5 so far
love the animation
really enjoy the parallels within the story itself
the journey of these two characters natural Born enemies who find strength in themselves as they have to endure a ever-changing world around them
I also really enjoy the mixture of real life history with a steampunk science fiction aesthetic
I thought this one was great fun. The actors here really made the characters work with their comedic timing, and the animation was just beautiful throughout. I have to also give credit to how great the backgrounds and environments were, overflowing with detail (definitely got a The Last of Us vibe at times). The climate change message wasn't exactly subtle, but that doesn't mean it's not needed.
I also love cats, so this worked for me.
What's this? WHAT'S THIS!!? People are giving this less then 10 stars???
Most of the fiction I've been exposed to involving Puritanism and witchcraft has revolved around the idea that the hysteria surrounding witchcraft in the New World birthed a greater evil than any actual witchcraft ever did. What Robert Eggers' debut film does so masterfully is blend the human frailties that come to the fore when witchcraft-related hysteria emerges with a palpable, thick and dread-filled evil that soaks into the entire film.
Much has been written of the lengths Eggers and his crew went to to ensure historical accuracy and they certainly do a magnificent job of creating an ambiance that never allowed me to relax while watching. The characters speak in quasi-Biblical tongues, their hair lank, their countenances sullen. It's a hard life they've chosen for themselves and it's made all the harder when Samuel, a baby, disappears.
The titular witch is used sparingly and two of her three appearances are images that will stay with me for a long, long time. Eggers does well to find a balance between not showing too much and showing enough to suggest a horror beyond what's shown directly: blood and fat, pale moonlight on gnarled skin, a weathered hand.
The cast are all extraordinarily committed and I admired just about every performance in the film. I was especially impressed by Harvey Scrimshaw - he perfectly plays a young man on the cusp of adolescence, questioning himself, his religion and the environment around him. The ensemble scene around him while he suffers from possession is the high point of the film and this is in no small part because of his staggering performance, veering from thrashing in the throes of a fit to religious ecstasy.
There was one point in the film where I was given a fright outright but what's so effective is the atmosphere of dread that's slowly and carefully increased throughout. I've been thinking about the film for days, and I'm sure I'll be thinking about it for a long time to come. Many commentators, on the site and others, were sorely disappointed that it didn't reflect the more prevalent trends in horror at the moment but I'm glad that this film has carried on a tradition of horror that seeps its way into your consciousness and stays.
the wife sure has changed
darlene is a crazy ass bitch
I did not expect to like this one as much as I did! While I would say that the bucket for vampire movies is getting too crowded, I will certainly not fault an entertaining one for this!
The characters are rather quirky and it's shot mockumentary style (like The Office) which might be off-putting for some but you have at least give them credit for going through a variety of jokes here! Oh, and let's not forget Stu! Everyone loves Stu!
"I can't believe that son of a bitch after all I did to him ...... sees key Oh I am so sorry you sweet beautiful clipper" LMAO! I'm dead!
I normally don’t like flashback episodes but this was so well done and interesting! The scene between Jess and Trish on the roof actually made me cry. They’ve been through so much already, I’m glad they have each other.
That shot circling Tak after the shuttle exploded was one of the most beautiful I've seen in a while
Excellent parallel between Kovacs' torture and Ortega's family reunion. Both show how technology is utilized in the staples of our lives (an interrogation in Kovacs' case and a holiday celebration in Ortega's). Both also has similar theme of treading between life and death.
Kovacs' torture sequence can be done a bit better (especially the "going to next screen" moment, as it seems to be a bit rushed) but it does the job well enough. The most interesting part in this episode for me is Ortega's family reunion, tackling back the question asked since the first episode, "if you can prolong life by simply changing your bodies, would you still do it?" Also, grandma resleeving in a muscular white punk is just too funny. Props to the actor.
Each episode gets better and better. Love the pink backpack :-)
Poe Is the best character of this series.
