When the OST alone is a masterpiece. I have no other words to say but you will enjoy this tremendously.
Season 1 was a great introduction to the series.
Season 2 was a fantastic addition to the show. Episode 7 from Season 2 was just stupendously awesome and will make every Castlevania fan scream!
Edit: Season 3 had some awesome moments but still does not surpass season 2
One final request: please release the OST ASAP!
A good World War 2 documentary but a bit biased at certain places.
Note to self: Never start a Netflix show before confirming it was ended properly.
This was a great show with a high view count. I'm not sure how Netflix are evaluating their shows lately. Such a terrible decision.
It was a tough watch as I've never experienced a survivor based show with such mentally ill contestants. It was sad seeing a few of them leave and some of the rules in the show had me baffled. I hope the next season is scoped better.
I really enjoyed the overall message delivered and it looks like there is more to come. Read ankur's comment which perfectly explains the show.
What an amazing trip. Quite happy I didn't wait any longer to watch this.
A solid watch but after checking some reviews, it looks like not all facts were accurate. Now trying to search for more samurai-related documentaries.
As a WW2 buff, this was a great story and it shows how everyone is a victim of war. Visually stunning with a fantastic "company of heroes" vibe to it.
So just to see how exceptional this movie was:
Until Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), this was the only sequel to win an Academy Award when the previous installment(s) received no nomination.
Terminator 2 is one of my favorite action movies of all time and here is why:
For all those who want to get in the mood of Blade Runner, you should watch these 3:

Here's looking at you, kid
A Classic Gem !
Seven Samurai can only be described as magical piece of art.
Don't let the 210 minute tag on the movie scare you. It is worth the ride and experience.
Each samurai has a distinguished trait which makes them memorable and allows the audience to form a bond with them
The cinematography is simply outstanding especially when it comes to the scenes that include rain.
An easy to comprehend plot with thrilling action scenes is also what adds to the appeal of Seven Samurai.
Depicts the Japanese culture and relation between Samurai and Farmers in the 1600s.
Memorable movie quotes:
* This is the nature of war: By protecting others, you save yourselves. If you only think of yourself, you'll only destroy yourself.
* Danger always strikes when everything seems fine.
The movie is a representation of society. It has a bit of "SnowPiercer" and "Cube".
It is a bit extreme on the gore but overall an enjoyable experience.
Best Movie quote:
"If we are alone in the Universe, it sure seems like an awful waste of space."
Quite enjoyable for anyone seeking a mystery sci-fi. The influences from other movies are quite obvious and I won't be listing them to avoid spoilers. Might feel a tad slow at first but just give it some time and the plot starts to unfold.
There are definitely much better movies with similar plots but this one also is worth a watch.
Terrifyingly awesome without being cheesy and too predictable.
The protagonists are fighting a shark which has no super powers.
The suspense and thrills are well crafted and not over exaggerated.
There is only 1 major jump scare which is perfect in my book.
A recommended and well paced thriller!
The last 2 games could have been chosen better
From the director of Requiem for a Dream and PI comes another powerful and earth shattering movie.
Smart and profoundly moving film that deals with eschatology, metaphysics, and love.
You will want to watch this several times.
Cinematography:
It is one of the movies strongest points.
Score:
Deeply affecting, Transcendent, Melancholy that will last for quite sometime on your playlist.
Cast:
Superb performance by Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz.
I know that Jackman excels in almost every role but Rachel Weisz was equally fantastic.

It had lots of potential but the characters were very bland. VFX were ok and not exaggerated. I did expect more.
This is one of the best TV show episodes I have ever watched. A masterpiece in every sense!
Extremely powerful and well shot+edited. However, this movie is not for everyone as it is not a point a to b type when it comes to story telling.
Director:
Tom Ford: other well known movies include "A Single Man"

Plot Complexity:
Medium to Hard
Best Movie Quote:
When you love someone you have to be careful with it, you might never get it again.
After watching it for the first time, I expected much more out of the movie. I understand it is a 'classic' but it did not click with me enough. It felt slow at times and the overall writing was below average.
Even with such an awesome cast, the movie was no where as good.
Pros:
+ Dunkirk depicts and reveals the scale of the event on all levels: Land, air, and sea
+ Glorious cinematography (by Hoyte Van Hoytema) and editing (by Lee Smith) adding significantly to the experience
+ Electrifying soundtrack by Hans Zimmer
+ Loud and fulfilling sound effects from the diving Stukas to the distant machine gun shots
+ Your heart will keep pounding due to the blend of senses emitted by the visuals and audio
+ Great cast and chemistry through actions (Dialog is limited)
+ Nolan throws the audience right in the middle of WAR.
+ The whole movie focusses on the event itself instead of on a couple of soldiers. Hence, the lack of strong character development which I thought was awesome and a wise choice by Nolan
Cons:
- Music at times might feel too loud thus covering the dialog
Dunkirk must be experienced in IMAX!
Plot Complexity:
Easy
Best Movie Quote:
Men my age dictate this war. Why should we be allowed to send our children to fight it?
