Extinction (2018)
Not a bad movie at all!
I think the core problem is that this movie is kinda boring, its very slow-pace. But when it gets going, IT GETS GOING! The plot is very unique, gotta admit not what I expected, which is a huge plus for movies nowadays.
I expected to be disappointed and came out surprised (in a good way). Its not amazing, nothing world changing. But if you go in with a open mind the movie is pretty good. I don't know how people are rating this 1 star, like 5 stars I get but 1? Its not that bad, Pena's acting is not the greatest but the performance from the other characters made up for it. Other then the 2 little kids who were beyond annoying crying the whole movie. Sorry to say but kinda wish they died early on in the movie.
Anyways, you should give this movie a try, there is a reason why there are so many positive reviews saying "give it a chance".
PS: don't lookup the plot twist, it will just ruin your experience.
The Titan (2018)
Good start, goes downhill from there...
Can you say plot holes.... This movie started out good, but went downhill real quick. The main actor gives a good performance, but in the last act they basically cut him out and left all the weaker cast members to fill in the void.
Not to mention, the science in this movie is complete BS. I feel like the writers doesn't understand how evolution works. Weekly injections doesn't somehow turn you into a mix of every animal imaginable. Plus, if technology has come so far, to the point where you can manipulate human DNA and genetically engineer a new species, sustainability problem would be the least of your worries.
And the concepts and reasoning behind the plot makes even less sense. Of all the planets and moons, why choose Titan? It's further away then any other planet and the conditions and atmosphere there is no better then any other. The reasoning behind everything feels very weak, which make this suppose society seem very unrealistic.
Medici (2016)
Very interesting!
Let me start off by saying, this series does take some getting use to. The initial few episodes are not very interesting, but they are worth watching. If anything the amazing chemistry and acting of Richard Madden and Annabel Scholey makes the slow pace of the first few episodes a lot more entertaining and definitely worth watching. And the final few episodes turned a decent series into a great one. The main characters are very well cast, maybe with the exception of Dustin Hoffman. And as the season progressed, I find myself connecting and caring with many of the characters, and their interesting backstories. Whether it's Cosimo's love story, or the long family feud, I genuinely do care about what happens to some of the characters. I have to say Annabel Scholey probably gave the best performance out of the whole cast and really made the show great.
Its not perfect and at times does seem a bit slow. But overall the series was great.
PS: It's very historically inaccurate, more of a drama then anything. So if that bothers you don't watch it.
