Continues to be weak writing and screenplay for me, the hinting at the bigger picture of other beacons shutting off, stopping resupply is interesting enough potential that I might give it 1-2 more episodes but it hasn't been a great start.
Feels much more like a traditional sci-fi channel original show from 10 years ago instead of the Expanse/Foundation level of shows that have been more recently. Hoping it does improve, because I love a good sci-fi show.
You can skip this! Trust me, you are not missing out on much.
avoidable... such a dumb movie with a bunch of unlikeable characters
What in the teenage drama was this?? First of all the main character was just unlikable and the plot was weird. I guess it started good but in the middle I found myself bored and I skipped some parts. Also the fact that they tried to put in some teenage phrases made me cringe plus the talk with the headmaster in the end was just not it for me. I do gotta say tho I liked the taylor swift reference.
Imagine being a writer for a moment, one people love and praise, but being trapped in a box that the people who love your work create. Imagine in the beginning you thriving in that box, people loving you more and more, but eventually you've explored everything in the box. Now suddenly people drag you down, "why is he telling stories outside the box?" This is why season 6 took 4 years, because none of these episodes were bad, but because 3 of the 5 weren't inside the box all this hate gets written. Time to move on people, something is indeed better than nothing, and the more you complain about the theme, the closer you get to black mirror straight out ending and red mirror taking it's place, because all good writers eventually learn how to silence the haters and write with their heart, not with a gun to their head.
It's a pity they spend all this money on special effects but don't bother employing anyone with actual space knowledge to make it realistic, first episode in and we're going to the moon in a shuttle and the booster rocket stays attached until they are almost there but a bolt rattles looses at the point where it wouldn't. Then we're on the moon surface looking into the direction of the sun with clear visors.
Similar to Primer (2004) but as a comedy, shot àla Birdman (2014) . Impressively creative and funny.
So.... this show fell apart by the end, around the same time Thor: Love and Thunder reared its ugly head. And those two things have basically pushed me off the MCU.....
....UNTIL they uttered that single word "mutation", complete with the signature X-Men theme, in a style relevant to the instrumentation of Pakistan. I couldn't believe it, I had to reply it twice to make sure I hadn't misheard the musical cue. Damn you Marvel, I was out!
Also the post-credit is interesting.
Comedy, Action, Adventure, Romance, Cheesy, Botox filled
An entertaining Romancing the Stone rip-off. That is better than it has a right to be due to the perfect cast. As well as plenty of laughs. Though I was never feeling the romance aspect of the movie.
Another easy movie. It will entertain you if you do not see the faulty CGIs at extreme scenes or if you do not care about the simple plot. But it is not the worst. It is an OK movie to pass time with sympathetic Tom and Mark. 6.5/10
probably the best film michael bay has made since "the island" or maybe even since "the rock", it feels like a summer blockbuster from the 90s, reminiscent of "speed" and "con air", but not so much in a campy way like "the expendables" - rather in a completely sincere michael bay way, with massive car chases, loud explosions and strange rollercoaster-like camera movements
also, this looks like it cost a lot more to make than it actually did, demonstrating that bay doesn't need a 9-figure budget to make a big action flick
btw, this is actually a remake of a danish film from 2005, but if they had called it "grand theft auto" instead of "ambulance", it would have been a more successful video game adaption than "uncharted" was
The original Kingsman were action packed fun movies that were very entertaining and surprising with some very colorful characters, and I had the same expectations for The Kings Man but they just took too a historical route which made it too long to get to the origins of the Kings Man - I wanted to love the movie, and enjoyed the first too and this was fun but not nearly as good and funny as the originals, that's the simplest way to put it.
Funny and also worrying. Idiocracy 2.0 in my opinion, much more grounded in what's actually happening in the world right now.
ugly blue tint color filter makes me sleepy, or maybe its the story, acting, writing, editing...
While the story was a bit of a mess (I think?!) the camera work and the action sequences were absolutely insane. How?! Certainly a ride and one of the best action movies of the year tbh.
Another entry in the Netflix "movie of the week so don't be disappointed when it isn't as good as a proper movie" category.
Some excellent super-hard violence. A very good turn by MEW. Great use of Japan.
But... Very predictable and disappointing plot. Some of the dialogue is really simplistic and out of character.
Enjoyable watch that is visually excellent but really heavily let down by its formulaic plot.
6.5/10
Wow, this came out of nowhere and impressed me a lot - very nicely filmed, acted and interesting enough to keep my attention. Fingers crossed!
Not a movie for everyone.
If you want lasers, explosions and monsters in your sci-fi this is not for you.
If you want creepy atmosphere, dialogs and good acting it's a perfect fit.
The movie is not perfect still.
The premise of a local radio getting strange reports from callers around the town is reduced very quickly to only two main calls.
I would have preferred to listen to more callers and have the tension and realization of what was happening building up a little slower than it was.
Also the black and white TV show thing didn't resonate well with me. If they limited that to the introduction it would have been better.
Still a solid 7 for me.
This film was kinda a mess but I still really enjoyed it. There was kind of no structure, it was very predictable, and a lot of characters had very forced in backstory exposition. But the film had charm, and that held it all together. As long as you like the characters, you'll like the film.
Also Polka-Dot Man is incredible and I love him.
Man that waitress deserved it
To be blunt its just a bit of a waste of Emily's talent
Was expecting something along the lines of Project Power, but got a dull and disjointed movie instead.
Not only does Fincher tell a story set in the golden age of Hollywood, but he evokes the style of filmmaking too. It's cleverly made, and Oldman is great as Mank. However, it didn't quite grip me the way I thought it would, perhaps due to the movie's talky nature. Still, that doesn't detract from what Fincher has tried to do here.
Artistically, it is perfect and the story behind it is really interesting. However, the actual entertainment value of it is lacking and the acting really isn't very good. It's still a classic that everyone who wants to learn about cinema should watch
Well, that was a decent first half of a movie...
I so love a happy ending. That was a happy ending, right?
SciFi B Movie based on a short of the same name. The first 30 minutes whipped me up into a frenzy. The visuals and slow pace were perfect. From then on it declined a bit, mainly due to the clunky script, weak characters and use of a few tropes (tripping over a branch in a forest while being pursued etc). The third act rescued it slightly, as did the gorgeous cinematography, which must have been on a limited budget, so fair play to the film-makers for producing something so interesting looking. Sophie Thatcher was fine as the lead, and I would have liked to see more of Jay Duplass.
Overall, a fine effort, just lacking in a bit of invention.
