Sense8 (2015)
Not so much of a sci-fi series
I saw many reviews here complaining about the lack of story or story progress and espacially about the lack of sci-fi elements. And I tell you what. This series isnt about science fiction after all.
The plot is about eight characters from all around the world with different backgrounds. Through a coincidence they get mentally connected to each others via telepathy.
So what exactly is the main story? It is about these characters. It is about humanity. It is about equality.
The series ask the question what makes everyone of us the same. Or is this even the case? And I think that with the telepathy element the Wachowskis found a great way to ask this questions.
This main story about the characters and greater ideals is accompanied by a thriller like side story. Also this ask a question about racism. But it is simply a thriller like companion were the characters always threaten by external forces.
Overall ... if you expect some kind of shooting, lightsaber or spaceships, you are totally wrong. Some easy going story which dont need you intention wrong.
If you like series, like I do, asking philosophical and social questions about mankind, you will enjoy this series so much.
Fifty Shades Freed (2018)
Hopefully the end ... hopfully no more sequels
This film isnt worth any money to watch it ... or even the time you need to invest.
The plot can be quickly summarized ... the main characters of Christian Grey and Anastacia Steel got married before this movie. They seems to be in a happy relationship but an old problem in form of former manager of Anastacia Steel is threatening their happy new life.
That's it. More plot this movie doesnt provide. How it comes that this movie takes so long with such a bad plot? The gaps are filled with bad sex scenes, bad jokes every than and now and a relationship based on abuse.
As a openly living BDSM follower this movie and the books hurting every inch of me. And not in the good way. If you really want to watch this movie, I recommend to do this with big attentation on details and you will quickly notice, that the 'relationship' between Anastacia and Christian are based on nothing more than abuse.
Besides of this the acting is again not authentic or even good. For a happily married couple their is no feeling about this fact that you would think this is the case. You have to watch the second movie to believe it. But I dont want to talk the actors down, it mostly is because of the script.
The scenery is again nice but only because of this I cant recommend the movie in any way. The movie music is bad as in the movies before this and dont fit to the actual scene which helps you with enjoying the film by laughing in the wrong moments.
Why I still watched the film? Well, a running gag between my friends and me. After my first shocked reactions about such a bad movie based on such a bad book, my fellows like to watch my reactions which falter between disbelief, shock and second-hand embarrassment.
If you never watched this movie. Dont do it!
