The Titan (2018)
It hurts thinking about the money that went into this film
Just terrible writing... Bad dialogue, ridiculous plot holes, uninspiring characters. Sci fi done VERY WRONG. Avoid this dumpster fire. I made the mistake of not checking IMDB before watching this and wish I had stuck to being cautious. I also feel bad for the actors. The lead character's "acting" in the second half of the film amounts to nothing but standing there awkwardly in tense moments. Netflix should delist this from their catalog.
Defiance (2013)
REALLY picks up steam in the third season
I watched the first two seasons and like many other reviewers I found the show watchable and fun but with its flaws. Going in to the third season I was sort of "meh" on the excitement level.
But wow, they definitely turned it up a notch. The show is taking far more chances and has gotten WAY more interesting. I am currently on episode 6 of the third season and I am continually surprised at how great the show is becoming. There is definitely some fan- service going on with Doctor Yewll's dry dialogue, and the new additions to the cast add an element of Game-of-Thrones-esque controversy (which is all i can say without giving away too much). If you stopped watching after the 2nd season I would definitely consider giving the third season a try.
9/10
World War Z (2013)
Utter Garbage
I have read many books and graphic novels that ended up becoming adapted into movies or TV shows, and I pride myself on keeping my expectations realistic in terms of similarities to the source material... But this is just an underwhelming zombie movie with the WWZ name attached to it. It shares almost nothing with the book and that would be OKAY if it wasn't an awful movie. But it is awful. It is absolutely horrific.
The only movie I can think of that comes close to this in terms of inaccuracies to the source material is The Running Man, and at least that was entertaining. Don't waste your time with this film. I have no idea how the rating is as high as it is.
Shame on Paramount for getting the rights to this and then flushing it down the toilet. At the very least I was hoping for a Henry Rollins cameo... Ugh, so much missed potential.
Negative one million out of 10.
Vice (2013)
Spectacular
I have been a fan of Vice for a few years now and I've always enjoyed their online videos. If you have spare time, I would highly recommend checking out their website or youtube channel. The special on the North Korean work camps in Russia and their videos taken in Columbia are particularly interesting.
With that said, the Vice team really took it to another level with the HBO series. Just watching the show is invigorating, from the topics covered to the exotic locations to the people they managed to get interviews with. Everything just comes together perfectly. With all the amazing content found in these short 10 episodes, it saddens me that most of the Western world is more concerned with celebrity bulls---.
Do yourself a favour and enjoy the first season. You won't regret it!
