The lipsync battles used to mean something.
Reminds me a lot of Now You See Me in its style. The creators seem to hope that a paced montage, some suave music, and the lead smugly walking away into the sunset will somehow distract viewers from illogical writing, convoluted situations, and convenient resolutions. It’s entertaining enough, but also kind of insulting to your intelligence. The enjoyment will greatly depend on whether or not you are willing to leave disbelief not only suspended, but shoved completely out of the window.
A heavy hitter of an episode. Fantastic all around.
I don't get why people love this episode. It has great visuals and the world is intriguing, but there is no story. A banal episode of two outcasts coming together and insta love out of sheer loneliness. I would love to see what they could do with a feature length though.
A great Friday night popcorn flick. Sure there are some things I would have liked fixed up, but did I have a good time? Absolutely!
I'm fine with movies not aging so well, but the blatant misogyny in this movie was uncomfortable even for me. Some really bad directorial work in places, and odd editing. The creature was cool and puppeteered nicely when it was fully formed. I really enjoyed Peter Weller's and Richard Crenna's acting, but the rest of the cast were awkward.
My feelings about DeepStar Six are colored by childhood nostalgia. It was on a continuous rotation for a couple of months on one of those movie channels, so I watched it probably like a dozen times. Loved it then, and it still stands up well today. Not a lot of substance, but much better than the underwater thriller released the same year - Leviathan, - in terms of character likability.
The underwater cinematography is one of a kind, even by today's standards. And the scene where Lindsey drowns and is then resuscitated is alone worth sitting though nearly three hours. What a performance by the entire cast! That said, the ending is bad... like very bad. It's cartoon-y and heavy-handed in its message, and feels like a awkward pacifist cheeseball, which Cameron continues in his overblown Avatar. This man has no nuance.
Gotta love this poor rich people act. You marry into a blatantly racist, rooted in outdated tradition, highly ceremonial family, and then surprised pikachu face because they act exactly the way they've been acting for hundreds of years. The royal family's upmost concern is with the outward appearances, so no, they will never acknowledge your mental health problems because that would not look good for them. Did they not do the same thing with Diana? Hello? Price Phillip's track record alone should have given you an indication of how your mixed race child will be received. Once you exit the inner circle, yep, you are pretty much dead to them. Do you not know about Edward VIII? Again, Diana? Didn't think you had to curtsy to the Queen behind closed doors? How naive are you? If you wanna be married to a prince, that's the kind of shit baggage you have to put up with. Nobody sent you to this marriage at gunpoint. It ain't right what they did to you and your kid, but did you really expect anything different?
It's what the French call, spicy garbage?
Wait, what? She's seriously being the righteous one right now?
I think I got lactose intolerance from so much cheese.
This show is so full of used up, dusty, laughable romance cliches.
Could have sworn the episode would sign off on XOXO, Gossip Girl
If you are willing to suspend your disbelief, you will enjoy this very entertaining show. Except that last episode. That was sloppy.
Good show, but I just wasn’t as obsessed as others. Beth’s drug and alcohol bender was just rough to watch, and not in a sympathizing with the character kind of way, but more of a “I’m kinda over it” way. And while I liked Anya Taylor Joy in other stuff, I thought her acting here was too on the nose. At least the setting and the subject matter of chess were wonderful.
