Prey (2022)
Its not bad but...
I do have some issues with the movie. While it does serve some cool kills and action scenes, my main issue is with the protagonist. She's just not a very good actress with a tiresome "girl-power" motive in this day and age. Weird bug eyes and doesn't show much emotional range at all. She has no real arc. The film should have followed her brother and his team of warriors. He was much more engaging and interesting. I wish it was shot in Comanche language rather than crappy dub too.
Watch for the kills.
The Movies That Made Us (2019)
The narrator needs to shut the hell up!
There's some good footage and interviews in this but they keep getting cut short by daft quick editing or the narrator chimes in with a joke or too. Just friggin shut up! There's no room for the good stuff to breathe which would have made this series a great watch rather than a passable cringe watch.
Star Trek: Picard (2020)
Boring boring boring...
This is such a slow series. I have many issues with it. Put simply:
- Pacing is slow.
- Patrick Stewart is just too old and doddery. The way he talks and moves is so feeble and everyone seems to hate him and shouting and belittling him. Its embarrassing.
- None of the new supporting characters are interesting and just don't care about them.
- Stop calling Picard "JL" Rafi!
- Plot is spoiled along the way as we already know things before the characters do hence its boringness.
- Why is there swearing, drinking, smoking and general pessimism? Humans had evolved past all that.
- The killing off or character assassinations of legacy characters like Seven of Nine (now a killer lesbian), or Echeb (brutally mutilated and killed) and Hugh (killed by a puny dart).
- The worlds and set design doesn't seem trek like. Its all doom and gloom.
I have more but would take too much time and space to list them all!
2 stars for some nice effects I suppose but that's about it. Stick with The Orville. A far better written show.
Edit: Dropped this to 1 star due to the dumpster fire series 2. Plots that make no sense, characters saying and doing stupid things. The only passable episodes was the first and second one. It goes off a cliff after that, unnecessarily ranting about modern day issues with no payoffs. Give S2 a galaxy-sized wide berth!
Memory: The Origins of Alien (2019)
Quite interesting in first half until ruined by a screeching feminist
Interesting first half (apart from the unecessary furies intro at the very beginning, what the hell was that?) then they over-analyze the chest burster scene and we get a screeching feminist spouting nonsense.
The history of the early stuff and how film got started was the most interesting parts. Shame they didn't have more interviews of the designers onboard.
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Probably the best of Marvels movies (so far!)
Im not an avid Marvel movie watcher but Ive casually watched them on tv or dvd over the years, but this one topped the lot! Very impressive set pieces and banter between characters. And what an ending!!
There seems to be a lot of negative user reviews for some reason but maybe its because you need to have seen most of the previous ones and they dont know what the hells going on!
I knocked a couple stars off due to the poor animation of the henchmen of Thanos, particularly the female one, her face looked like a ps3 character!
Im getting this on blu for sure :)
Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017)
Awful, just awful.
Before I start, the main score is being fudged by IMDb. I've gone through all the ratings and it should be 4.0. Not 7.0!
There's so many things wrong with this, how does this have a rating in the 7???
The non-existent character arcs. No one really develops, eg: Rey being a perfect Mary Sue as usual. The flat miss-placed comedy making it seem more like Spaceballs than Star Wars. The lore of the originals thrown out the window. No respect for the original cast. Dumb political tropes shoved in (casino sequence and diversity quotas with the message of women good (Holdo), men dumb (Poe), as examples).
I could go on but I wont as there's plenty of articles and youtube videos going into more detail.
Don't waste your time with the official movie. Watch a fan-edit which removes the daft elements that reduces it down to a more digestible 1hr 30m!
Rian needs a good smack.
