Its a great watch pretty good research from the flying aspect. Its unusual to see a plot of British individuals being involved in this sort of crime? Not known of in actuality?
The Indian stuff feels like a pointless side story only serving to fill some time. I hope I'm wrong and that it somehow becomes relevant later.
An extremely fun and well paced movie with a great ensemble cast. Glass Onion follows a similar format to the first film but it is definitely not a just copy and paste. My favorite part was the first act which hooked me into the movie right away.
Once they reach Miles's house, however, the movie unfolds in a relatively simple manner compared to the first film and the ending is not fully satisfying.
I would have really loved an actual murder mystery, not some fake murder mystery game that was solved immediately. And Miles was implied as Duke's murderer way to early on.
This show is very good, some of the acting is a little wooden, but it's light years ahead of La Brea on every front.
Lots of mystery, (think Lost), setting is great,. writing is solid.
I think I'm still suffering from shock at how back La Brea is.
Secrets of Dumbledore improves on its weaker predessesor with a more nuanced Grindlewald performance from Mads Mikklesen, as well as a more focused narrative. There are some interesting set pieces here, as well as some surprisingly funny moments and some creative uses of magic that will entertain fans of the series. Unfortunately, it still suffers the faults of a directionless series that should never have extended beyond a single movie. Characters are left woefully undeveloped and plot developments from previous movies are brushed aside, although perhaps for the better. While it is a passable movie, it is unfortunately much too small a step in the right direction for a doomed series.
I don’t know what is happening in this show or where it’s going. So confused.
oh look, another episode this season where the cliffhanger fundamentally-changes-the-show event from the end of the last episode is undone in the opening minutes
Demented, unhinged, disturbing, terrifying, and riveting. Rachel Weisz so brilliant you actually believe you’re watching two different people. The real secret ingredient, however, is the genius of Poppy Liu.
Tune in. Hide the kids.
In Episode 1, they just pretty much skipped Ye Wenjie's backstory before Red Coast. They crammed everything into 5 minutes. Episode 2 is called 'Red Coast' but we barely pass any time at Red Coast base. Most of the episode is just present day characters talking and playing the VR game. In fact, we barely spent any time inside Red Coast itself. It doesn't even feel like a secret base/project. Besides the death of Ye Wenjie's dad - which wasn't adapted for censorship reasons -, nothing in this adaptation is honestly better than the Chinese version. I knew from the get go that 8 episodes, each with less than 60 minutes, would not be enough, but they are rushing. There's no way her character and motives will come across as understandable. This whole story is based on her past actions.
Brilliantly written, directed and acted.
Ben Whishaw and Ambika Mod are astounding.
The series gives you a knot in the stomach at seeing the hospital staff stress and working conditions, but it's also full of empathy and signs of humanity. Humour and breaking the 4th wall give it its final unique touch.
Remarkable 7 episodes, truly positive discovery
Absolute painful watch at times - the plot holes were a many. Imagine going to apprehend an arms dealer ALONE, for starters. S1 way better.
Outstanding performances from all four leads. Truly riveting drama.
Very well-researched and well-written episode, up until the ridiculous twist in the end where Rowan hijacked freaking Amazon delivery drones to go up above 50,000 ft and into the stratosphere...
Also, does that mean that Nick Bilton and Alpha were in on it? Otherwise, who prepared millions of drones with payloads of calcium carbonate rigged to disperse upon release?
Great looking visuals, fantastic score and background sounds. Lots of eye and ear candy for home theatre systems. If you like shows about existentialism this show is da bomb! I kept hearing Tom Cruise from Vanilla Sky shouting "Tech Support" in my mind every time I heard or read "wake up" lol.
I loved how the underlying mystery was teased out, with little breadcrumbs strewn throughout the series. Great characters, relationships, backstories and storytelling. Very reminiscent of Lost with lots of nods and tropes to/from other sci fi classics. I wasn't sure what kind of show this was going to be, but was pleasantly surprised to find out how deep this story runs.
This has curried critical and user acclaim but I just don't get it, so this will be a minority review. I'm a huge SciFi/Fantasy fan but beyond being a vehicle to show off Rotoscope animation, I wasn't drawn into the premise, at all, in fact, I was bored, and eventually felt jilted. The film never declares its intention to be a piece of Science FIction or a deep dive into mental health perspectives and it spends so much time exploring the "hows" that the ending was just an empty creator of "why?" for me. I repeat, it is getting rave reviews, and both Trakt and IMDb reviewers are giving it an 8.3 (83%) out of 10. But, the premise is unresolved (it is un-done) for me so I give it a 5 (meh) out of 10. [SciFi? Drama? Animation]
The previews made it look like a female 007... but after 35 mins I had switch it off. Dialogue and stupid scenarios ruined it from the get-go. Yes I was prepared to disengage logic within reason, but to completely disregard gravity and physics is pretty hard.
One example (not a spoiler) how the hell did she 'dispose' of 6 bodies in 30 seconds?
0/10
Although it had a lot of anti-blockchain propaganda, it was a good story. Very Black Mirror-esque.
Why is the picture so fuckin’ dark? It’s almost unwatchable.
OYE!! is it me or does any one else know what’s happening this season what’s will all these Cassie’s
I didn't read too much going into this movie, and I'm really glad I didn't. This movie was just an amazing journey to watch.
The opening sequence automatically caught my attention, just watching him build that set, and watching it slowly come to life to tell us this fantastic family story. I also loved how it was narrated by the grandmother, it added so much to the atmosphere. I really felt like I was getting this story told by my own grandmother.
I won't say much about the story but it was really interesting, and it just keeps you glued to the screen, wanting to know what happens next. It was also told in such a charming way that it got a few laughs from me, but also tears. The little interactions that the director had the with the set, and with his dad was also just so amazing that it stuck with me. It's nothing groundbreaking but such a nice tiny detail for you to remember.
Would recommend this movie for anyone to watch, if you don't mind mentions of war, and some other sensitive topics.
Still as great as ever, though I still love 1 best. This season Gaia Girace recedes in screentime to full supporting now and I miss her quite a bit (even if her Lila-focused showcase in episode two is the season's highlight), but I think turning the spotlight more fully to Elena makes me slightly prefer 3 over 2, as the focus helps enrich both her character and story with the time it takes carefully to develop them. Man, those last three episodes are like watching a slow-motion trainwreck happening in real time; I really thought from the premiere's ending that Elena would get over Nino for good already. Another reason I miss Girace is that it seems from the last scene they finally are going to switch the actors for the final season now, so this is probably her last turn out. Necessary though since as good as they are, their characters' age is starting to speed past both Girace and Margherita Mazzucco already. Can't wait for the final season, then I'll start reading the books.
It started out so good but this motherfucker went right off the rails in the last two episodes. And, holy fuck, what an unbelievably shitty and disjointed ending that left me feeling betrayed. Wish I’d never watched this abomination.
By modern horror movie standards, it's a slow film. But that's because most people don't care about set-up and character development when they watch a horror movie.
Regarding how scary it is, horror is like comedy, it's all subjective. I think it's effective and extremely well made. There's a reason it crossed over from horror movie fans to mainstream audiences.
Ugh that really pisses me off, the way Calvin was treated!!!! Don't even get me started on that priest :angry:
what a strong episode, awesome!
If only people with PTSD could just "snap out of it"...
How are we supposed to empathize with Nefer's emotions and aspirations when she doesn't even acknowledge Thut's trauma?
Hope this gets a second season, cause the last episode ended with a huge cliffhanger. Great series!
I wanted to love it the same way I loved the TV series. Wanted to…
Acting was bad, looks and feels like a low budget movie, and cgi looked so awful. Also, Chris Evans looked so goofy with a mustache, I couldn't take him seriously. :rofl::clown::wastebasket:
