Doctor Who: Heaven Sent (2015) Season 9, Episode 11

Masterpiece

[10/10 · 28 January 2020]

A deeply moving masterpiece that time will not forget. Rarely do movies leave such a footprint. This is one such movie.

Ive seen a lot of scify. I can tell the good from the bad. This movie, no matter what you think of it, is much better than some things Ive seen like battle beyond the stars. This was one of the better ones. It clearly had a good budget with good cgi and good acting and you really wanted to turn the next page. It only suffered in being a little slow. It was surprisingly thought provoking and new and thus contributes to the genre. Im still trying to understand it fully. Here is my rating;

Plot: 6 out of 10, a little slow but interesting cgi: clearly professional... 7 out of 10 acting: 7 out of 10... slow but very well done science: hard to say, requires more thought ... seems like 6 out of 10 but could be wrong, some things didnt make sense Thought provoking: 9 out of 10 without question. contribution to the genre: 7 out of 10. Fresh approach, new ideas Gore avoidance: 5 out of 10, mostly ok accept for one nasty scene.

Overall maybe not A plus but certainly engaging and memorable, better than a hard to watch silly B movie despite being a little slow. Certainly leans more towards realistic sci fy, not cartoonish. Slow at first.

Battle Beyond the Stars (1980)

Cartoonish

This movie was really silly and awkward in my opinion. It felt like Mario world, Zelda, Bananza, Star trek, and star wars mashed together in some weird nightmarish silly way. Some things just don't go well together. I do feel it introduced some interesting ideas for sci fy in general but for the most part it was genuinely painful to watch. It was so bad even some of the characters in the story admit it was bad (watch and see!).

Moontrap: Target Earth (2017)

Good party joke

I have to admit this is not exactly top notch. However the comedy element saves it somewhat. The funniest part is the plot. Have all your friends watch it and then have them try to explain the plot without making someone laugh hard. I watched this with family once. When one of them tried to summarize the story whole story I laughed my socks off. A good laugh in disguise.

Crossbreed (2019)

What on earth

[1/10 · 7 December 2019]

This is the first movie I have ever watched that made me think how creepy it is this story was written in the first place.

Hungerford (2014)

Good movie

[9/10 · 4 December 2019]

This is really well done. Its entirely believable and the effects are good too. Don't understand the low ratings. Story and acting really shined.
