Event Horizon (1997)
Excellent Sci-Fi Horror
I remember watching this movie when it first came out. I must have been 15, but I was intrigued, horrified and at the edge of my seat the whole time. I was already pretty desensitized from watching scary movies since I was a young kid so I wasn't really scared or anything. If you like horror movies, you'll really like this one and if you like sci-fi too then you'll love it. I had my daughter watch it but it scared the crap out of her.
All the negative reviews out there seem to be from people who thought it was just a sci-fi and not realizing it's really a horror movie set in space. Just keep that in mind before you watch this and you won't be disappointed.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (2016)
Disappointing and dorky
I was pretty disappointed with this movie. My disappointment started off with April needing to download some information from this scientist but she has to follow this other guy to get close enough. Well, she could have just followed behind him nonchalantly, but no, she has to put on this skimpy school girl outfit while walking and pretend to be part of this other group of cheerleaders or something. Well, her pants seem to just magically disappear in one scene to the next. It was pretty pointless and senseless, and it was just a scene to say, hey look how hot she is.. groans. Which brings me to my next point of how terrible Megan Fox's acting is. They just seem to throw her in there for mostly eye candy and nothing else. Why do they keep putting her in movies??? But it doesn't stop there. The entire movie was well, dorky at best. The pace was a bit fast even though the movie was really long. Also, how the hell did Donatello access an alien spaceship and get the name of the leader?? That doesn't even make sense. The language would be completely foreign and, well, too alien to even decipher if it were even able to connect to it somehow. Also, there isn't enough rhino or pig DNA in us to make a pig/man or rhino/man, it's just not possible. Nothing in this movie makes sense. This movie is just too kiddy and cartoony but even the original cartoon series made more sense then this crap.
I decided to give this 5 stars because it has good graphics and is kinda funny sometimes. If all you are looking for is cheap thrills and cool CGI action scenes, then you may enjoy this. But if you like a movie with substance, look somewhere else.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)
Megan Fox ruined the movie :-(
It seems like Megan Fox's job was just to stand there and look pretty, just like any other movie she stars in.. because that's all she can seem to do. I mean her expressions were emotionless and unbelievable and her acting was terrible. She ruined an otherwise decent movie for me. Being a TMNT fan growing up, I was pretty disappointed.
Otherwise the movie was OK. I don't like that they made all the turtles different heights.. I mean, why was Raphael so huge? I don't understand the glasses on Donatello either, they should have used goggles or something like that because they don't have ears. The faces looked strange.. would have been happier with more turtle-like faces.
Total Recall (2012)
What about Mars?
They didn't even go to Mars. The beginning of the movie led you to believe they would be going into space or to Mars, but they never did. For those of you looking for a good Space Sci-Fi, don't watch this movie.
There was a lot of action to the movie, some good scenes and graphics, and a lot of it seemed to coincide with the original movie, but seemed dull and lacking.
Their twist on the story may have been OK, had I not enjoyed the original so much. Where were the mutants and where was the Martian Terra-forming? Instead they just thew a bunch of robots in and said, enjoy! Well, no thanks, if I wanted to see a movie about robots, I would watch I-Robot or Terminator.
