Wouldn’t it be easier and safer to put the robots (replicas) on the space mission? Like duh? They do not need life support system, food, and physical activity. Would it be nicer if they actual humans stayed in their homes and spend their time with family?
Somehow, the pilot of story twisted to make us watch 80 minutes episode, almost as long as a movie. Just to tell us that we need to take care of our family and loved ones! The only explanation for this movie plot is that the astronauts were already in a long distance space mission and later on, they have decided to make the replicas for their families.
It's okay guys. I can just rewind the episode and Trenton and Mobley will be alive!
Loki is the most well-developed character in the MCU. This ending was truly worthy of the character!:green_heart:
The best growth of any character in the entire story, period. Amazing. As sad as it is he was destined to be alone, he always did have glorious purpose.
I never thought they could make a 2 hour movie with Emma Stone in multiple sex scene's this bad, but they did.
Werewolves? In BLACK MIRROR?!?! Are you f*cking kidding me?!
Dare I say… best episode of Loki yet? Definitely the best this season. Everything about it was PERFECT.
I’ll say it again, the growth of Loki throughout this series has been absolutely phenomenal. To go from a selfish villain to a selfless hero has been an epic journey. This is MARVEL in all its glory!
The movie is BEAUTIFUL, and if you're looking for an action movie I definitely recommend it. However, if you're an actual fan of Avatar 1, you will be disappointed.
Overused plot twists :
- bad guy that comes back to life (terminator like),
- a boy raised by the Na'vi that is actually the son of the bad guy (jungle book / star wars like)
Remakes of scenes from the first movie :
- Jake riding sea horses for the first time,
- his son becoming friend with the most dangerous Tulkun (VS Jake and the big Leonopteryx making him Toruk Makto);
- Colonel being overconfident while getting his Banshee (just like Jake);
- Earthers burning the houses of Metkayina (VS when they burnt the Mother Tree);
- the wife of the chief (Ronal) losing her Tulkun and accusing Jake for bringing the Earthers (VS Neytiri losing her ikran and saying she never wants to see Jake again);
- exact same sentences ("The people say that the energy is just borrowed and you have to give it back");
- Jake's son behind chased by a very agressive fish in an unfamiliar environment (VS Jake chased by the Thanator in the forest;)
- the obvious end with a close up shot on Jake's eyes... (was thrilling once but come on...)
The apparition of useless characters :
- Spider makes no sense. He hated his dad, then decided to save him and then joined back Jake and the others???? so obviously the bad guy will come back;
- the Earthers who stayed from the first movie (they just appear 10 seconds to help Jake's daughter),
- the female colonel who brings nothing to the plot,
- Neytiri's mother who appears for 5 seconds maybe...
The lack of character development : they pretty much have 1 personality trait at the start and don't really grow from there, which is very different from the first movie -
- the colonel still hates the Na'Vis even after learning their language and getting his flying pet (his personality is basically "I hate Jake" throughout the entire movie),
- Neytiri hates Spider from the beginning,
- Jake is insufferable with his sons until the very very end where he softens up a bit...
The lack of plot coherence :
- Where the hell did the Metkayina go once the fight actually started?? (because their chief was supposed to get his daughter back);
- Why would the Earthers risk to lose the amrita (product from the tulkuns) that is funding all the actions on Pandora just to satisfy the seek for revenge of a soldier??
Lastly, and this is what frustrates me the most : the many stories started that do not have an end -
- Why is Kiri able to control Eywa? Why is Ronal not saying anything when she's supposed to be that spiritual??
- How is humanity actually planning to move to Pandora?...
Overall, I would recommend the movie if you decently liked the 1st one and want to stay in the same universe. But if you are looking for an actual sequel with a great plot and story / character development, be prepared to be disappointed.
10/10. Peak. This might be one of the best comic book TV finales or even episodes ever. Maybe this is recency bias but I don’t really care, this straight up floored me. Incredible.
I'm into episode 3 right now and doesn't seem to get better at all. Season 6 so far is disappointing. BM was so much better before Netflix.
Good action, nice actors, ok story.
Some really intense scenes that seem like a one shot and keep going forever. Really immersive!
If you liked the first one and want nice action sequences give this one a go. It kept me entertained the whole 2 hours!
Hopefully there will be a next one...
I did not really like it. Or really did not like it, haha.
After 10 minutes of watching are hearing the word fuck/ing about 50 times, I wanted to just quit watching, but I held on until the end.
Some lines were really funny though, but the movie in general.. nah, not for me.
// EDIT (four years later): Full disclosure, I only finished this because it was an assignment for my Film Studies class. So I couldn't bear to drop it. I cared for that class. I lived and breathed for that class. But well, I would've dropped if given another option.
I've smiled about 3-4 times. Not laughed at all although I usually do on comedies. Not very funny, overrated IMHO.
Going to be the contrarian here but I was bored out of my mind. This is not why I am watching Black Mirror and with the way it was unfolding it didn't really connect with me at all. Mackenzie Davis was also a misscast for me as it's a bit too on the nose considering her role on "Halt and Catch Fire".
Watched first 2 episodes.
Slow and not very interesting. The characters are completely devoid life - they might as well have been robots. There's no reason to be interested in any person in this show they are so one-dimensional.
The show only becomes remotely interesting in the final 2 minutes - convenient to get you to watch the next episode's drivel...until the final 2 minutes...so you'll watch the next episode... NOPE, done.
Visually - 8/10
Story 3/10
Watchable 0/10
Sometimes I'm amazed about how such mediocre movies can be pumped and overhyped for so little...I mean it could have almost been a decent action movie if it was a little bit shorter, and had at least one tiny bit of developing in the storyline beyond "cool machines driven by freaks chasing in the desert".. All in all beside a great costumes design and props what you are left with, is just some sort a giant shallow videoclip, with a great visual reworking of the post atomic imaginary introduced from the first Mad Max. Oh yes and plus some half naked models.
It's true, after all those useless blurry, hyperkinetic camera movements we got overdosed in the last decades, it's refreshing to see some more traditional shooting with a proper image composition...on the other hand Fury Road to (badly) counterbalance one good thing, need to add something really wrong, hence I have the feeling it will be remembered for one of the worst night photography seen since who knows when maybe the 70s...I mean blue filtering for the night sequences?! c'mon is that a joke?!...in the age of the uber ISO settings digital camera brought even to consumer market? Is really depressing to see so blatantly fake night scenes in a big budget movie...and for no imaginable reason.
I was about to let it go half the way, honestly I made it to the end just out of curiosity...not for the movie itself which became boring pretty soon, but because I was desperately looking for that special something that should have made this movie worth at least some of the praise I had read from audience and critics alike. Needless to say, there was nothing until the end...just you know, the desert...
Am I the only one who feels sad for Daly because Wolton is so mean to him in real life and he exploited his idea and capabilities? He wouldn't have made this hell whole if he wasn't treated horribly in real life. So technically they drove him to be the psychopath he is.
Well.. I guess this episode is not for me.
The most important movie in the most controversial time. I salute their guts and bravery to talk about such important topic. If it's making you uncomfortable, don't question the movie. Question yourself. There's always an answer inside every question.

This was a tough one--a little bit more 'story telling' and I think this may have been great, but to much was left out for their actually to be a movie with any reason--cool special effects is just not good enough for me these days, there actually needs to be a reason for the movie to have been made...
The Earth Mothers restore sanity to the world was a bit tired, the fractured evil triplets were not well developed--Raging Leader, Financial Scum, Super Hunter needed at least two more scenes to really make any sense or have an purpose in the film--to have been menacing. They 'landscapes' lacked diversity--though the Hurricane Alley & Desolate Swamp were great, we could have used more 'changes in scenery' at some level particularly the crushing urban stuff from the first film.
Hope is dangerous, Who Killed the Earth, Haunted by Nightmares of the Past, Drifter/Savior were all simple movie tropes that could have been developed SIGNIFICANTLY to make a movie that would have paid off a lot more.
I enjoyed "Joey" very and therefore have to disagree with a lot of people who compare it to "Friends" and were disappointed. I think Joey is a very funny sitcom and you should give it a try if you like sitcoms along the line of Friends.
Pankaj Tripathi dominates in the quintessential film talking about a bold subject with a hillarious and thought provoking execution.
My Rating : :star::star::star::star: (82/100)
OMG 2 is a sequel of popular film OMG which Paresh Rawal and Akshay kumar back in 2012. Unlike its predecessor which talked about atheism , the current talks about belief and faith in God. The film primarily delivers a strong social message and pleas for immediate reforms in the Education System constructed by the British during their term before independence. The humour is excellent & is spiced with sarcasm and wit, credits to the writer director Amit Rai that his execution with all the dialogues are on the money. All characters felt organic, and matter is handled with complete care and based on facts. Pankaj Tripathi is excellent, Akshay is sharp and appropriate for the role and the entire ensemble delivers an engaging affair which doesn't let you loose grip on the subject. A smartly executed, important film which will resonate with the millenials. Expect many thought provoking introspection as the film challenges unconventional norms. This film deserves your attention.
The film rides high especially due to its organic ensemble casting. Akshay Kumar as Shiva's is the best thing happening to the film. Even with a short screen presence he delivers the reminiscence from the predecessor and impact this film needed. Pankaj Tripathi is a bonafide star, he never dissapoints when he does drama and this like no other is one of his best works. Yami Gautam is pitch perfect in role, she delivers strong points with ease and delivers a challenging role with brilliance. The dialogues and wit in humour generated the loudest of cheers in the cinema screen I was in, and I pitched in too.
Overall, a much needed and important films which should be presented back to back woth such storytelling untill the reforms are made. There have been smaller projects talking about this subject but no changes are made till now. This time the problem needs addressing. A film you can take your family and enjoy. CBFC giving it an A certificate is the dumbest thing possible which highlights how backward the mentality is. Recommended.

Like watching a tennis game of things I hate: sports movie -- relationship drama --sports movie -- relationship drama --sports movie -- relationship drama --sports movie -- relationship drama --sports movie -- relationship drama --sports movie -- relationship drama...
All capped off with a ridiculous ending (no spoilers, but the music was hilarious!)
The actors were all hot and amazing, but the rest was giving made-for-ESPN Nickelodeon.
Cliche story but excellent execution. It had brilliant comedic timings.
never trust good reviews
so far the good parts don't make up for the boring stuff
but i'll continue watching
Do you not see the irony of a multi trillion dollar company lecturing us on how bad wealth is, while they charge north of 1000 for almost every thing they sell. And then they have the balls to place their products in the series.
Outdated and massively dumbed execution of a interesting concept worth exploring. Gimmicky at best, including the metaphorical meta quasi philosophical pile of crap. Waited for a year to see this letdown Black Mirror branded waste of time.
