To anybody asking themselves "why display the green environment, even if just for the few moments before they die":
Well, so they'd clean the lens of course. A simple and cheap trick so nobody unpunished has to go outside to do so...loading replies
@nephatiu I'd say it's bigger than that because we're told from the start that everyone that says they won't clean still end up cleaning. The trick makes it seem that they repented, which reinforces to everyone else that they should fall in line.
Imogen's change of heart regarding the New Dawn is a mystery. Of course that dialogue could have been an act with the love-making scenes ultimate, "Louder, so they hear", as a closing parentheses.

@van-nyx I shall watch it again before next week, as a refresher. I like the cast, and the world-building, but there is the odd plotting weirdness, and goofs. I suppose with better editing these could be removed.

Do me a favour and don't see this because of me. That way I can feel I'm getting my revenge for sitting through an hour and a half of PG-13 boredom. I just hope they make another so I can not see it.

@ratutu Thank you, my friend! :pray:
Doesn't respect the history, and i believe that the american audience will think everything in the show did really happen, i doubt this show will succeed in Europe because it ends up insulting the people.

@goncaalo wait what? The instrumental to Royals, Chandelier and all of the other recent pop hits haven't been out long enough for the royals to have danced to them back then? Really? And man, you mean to tell me that all of the French people don't really have British accents? I would never have guessed that this drama didn't really happen...

VIP8I really hated this movie, the characters were poorly constructed, especially the male characters. All of them manipulate Elle throughout the whole movie, telling her what to do and pushing her around when it suit them.
The worst part for me though was how lightly they treated Noah’s violent side. Lee wondering if he had hit Elle was incredibly painful to watch, and when he slams the car to make her come inside she really does seem frightened. He is a violent character that doesn’t change at all, just says a few nice words at the end to “make up for everything”. Lee gets some sort of redemption by helping Elle, but Noah doesn’t, and I don’t think that’s the message we want kids to get from movies like this one, that your boyfriend loves you because he gets into fights “for you” or that he manipulating you and other people around you is something sweet and a proof of how much he cares about you. That’s wrong, and this movie take on that is completely horrible and misleading.loading replies
@sandrac13 I really hated how they tried to make the "He gets into a fight for me" thing seem romantic and caring. Truth is, when a person is violent with others, they will eventually turn their violence to the ones they love, if they do not get it checked.
I was going to watch this episode until I realized that it is a two part episode, now I guess I will hold off until either closer to next week's episode or until I get next week's and watch them back to back. I'll do the same with the week after when we get the huge 5 show crossover!! :yum::grin:

@thenightwolf You'll only be able to watch episodes 1, 2, and 3 of 'Crisis' in December. I'm afraid you'll have to wait until mid-January for 4 and 5...
Please don't discontinue this show my wife loves it.

I don't agree- it's a show after all( Genre: DRAMA, not Historical).
Who cares what some people might think. Some people think Santa really exists.
The show is insulting? O.o Pardon! You see insulting things everywhere on the net/ in the real world. A show can be insulting, IF it CLAIMS to be historical. This one doesn't, however. That's why Entertainment is entertaining and history/documentaries informative. Period.
Review by Jordy
VIP8If last year's Top Gun Maverick gave everyone the slightest bit of hope in regards to films that click with the general audience and blow up at the box office, this is the kind of film that'll make any self-respecting film fan lose all hope. Here's the deal: kids will pretty much like this by default, adults who are looking for validation of their childhood obsession will like it, and people who show up to see an actual movie won't. It's pretty much the blandest, calculated, do-nothing film they could've made out of this material. The animation is devoid of style and looks like it was originally rendered for a Dreamworks project back in 2008, the voice acting is mostly ass, it triggers the nostalgia & reference button way too often, the story & characters are watered down to a point where they're almost non-existent, it's not funny and its boomer rock soundtrack choices make absolutely no sense. It's irredeemable trash, like every product that rolls of the Illumination Entertainment conveyor belt. Nevertheless, I'm willing to bet that due to the large fanbase of the IP, this will be one of those films where in the short term some of the discourse will insist that "some people/critics don't know how to have fun" or "it's made for the fans" (only for those same people to deny ever liking it in the long haul, of course). Here’s hoping Illumination doesn’t listen to those voices in the same way that DC did after the release of Suicide Squad. This is not a foundation to build a franchise on.
2.5/10

@violentsneeze I can't tell if you're actually being ironic, playing into the "some people/critics don't know how to have fun" response. But I wouldn't be surprised if you aren't, since there really is no way to defend this movie without saying "well, i-it's supposed to be this bland! can't you have fun?!"
By the way, I hope you know that you can enjoy the movie perfectly fine, while still admitting to it being cookie cutter dog shit.
