The Peripheral (2022)
Really falls short on substance. There are many better ones to watch first.
The Sci-fi series The Peripheral boasts impressive production values, with high-quality effects and talented actors. However, the script seems to fall short in terms of depth and engaging content. The characters are uninspiring and generic, with no interesting conversations or significant ramifications. The plot appears to be a loop, with nothing truly engaging or thought-provoking. The poor script makes the series feel like a cheap soap opera rather than a cutting-edge production like Severance, Westworld season one. If you're looking for a passive viewing experience, this show may suffice, but if you're looking for a more profound and thought-provoking series with engaging characters, this is not it.
Most Dangerous Game (2020)
algorithms can create a better script. nothing makes sense.
Wealthy individuals typically desire power, which is often the reason for their wealth - it's a numbers game, after all.
The premise of this story is interesting, but unfortunately, it is riddled with plot holes and portrays the characters as one-dimensional and foolish hunters without any sense of tactics or self-preservation, which is the opposite of what one would expect from wealthy individuals who typically think of generational wealth and do not want to risk their lives for nothing. While it may make sense for someone to participate in a game like this, the excessive plot holes detract from the overall experience. I hope that in five years, the writers of 'Most Dangerous Game' will be unemployed because anyone could come up with a better script by utilizing their own personal AI companions. If even one person were to skip this story, it would be a triumph.
Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Could have been even better
Time they would show the audience the intricacies of the chess game in the skies. Right? Math and tactics. Right? No. Story has nothing that would explain why to use these F18's and tactics chosen. Writers didn't come up with anything that would nullify the use of new armaments (stealth/drones/satellite guided weapons..)
Movie starts strong. First part of the movie shows that with good storytelling they actually could pull off good sequels for epic movies if they really wanted. Now they just run it like a cheap soap opera for the lowest common denominator. Again the script is the weakest link in the chain. How hard is it to have good script before green lighting these hollywood movies?
Visioneers (2008)
Anyone barely living could have written and directed this movie.
Topic is great and deserves more movies. But this was nothing new.
Equilibrium movie did much better job ant giving some angle to human suffering.
Suffering makes us go "forwards".
