This is a terrible movie. An hour and a half wasted. All the white people were bad. All the black people tried to be good people. I mean, forget the stupidity of social politics. It doesn't matter what color anyone is. They should've killed people who were trying to kill them. Good job trying to take the high road when people are trying to kill you. That's not reality. But again, reality isn't even reality anymore. This movie is awful. It's not worth watching. I'd rather watch Morbius and that was pretty terrible too, but not as terrible as this movie. Go watch something more fun like Minions.

My Favorite Movie of the Year!!!
9 June 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is summed up in one word: AMAZING!
It is a definite, must-watch, need to pay attention to, much needed fantastical film of this entire year! I love this movie so much! It struck a chord with me and I have laughed and cried and stared in disbelief at the screen and felt my soul moved by the entire performance of the actors and actresses. Please watch this movie! It will touch your soul too.

This movie centers around an Asian American family: Evelyn, her husband Waymond, their daughter Joy, and her father who is named Gong Gong which is the Chinese word for grandfather if I'm not mistaken.
Evelyn is a stressed out, hard-working mother who owns a laundromat business. She is burdened down by her father disowning her for marrying the love of her life. Her father, in old age, is sent to America to live with the family. Waymond, however, is seeking a divorce that Evelyn is unaware of yet. Their daughter Joy is gay and has been dating Becky for three years and wishes nothing more than for her mother's approval. And in all this chaos, the family business is being audited by the IRS, the agent assigned to them is the incredibly talented and amazing Jaime Lee Curtis.
On the way to the IRS agent meeting, in the elevator, Waymond suddenly acts weird and tells Evelyn he's from another universe and that he needs her help to save the multiverse. She doesn't believe any of this, of course, but during the course of the meeting, Evelyn's curiosity takes over and she reluctantly follows the set of directions that multiverse Waymond tells her. Evelyn finds herself split into two as her mind is in two universes at once and meets with multiverse Waymond who explains what's going on.
Multiverse Waymond is actually from the Alpha universe. He explains to Evelyn that there's a great evil they're seeking and he believes that Evelyn can help them balance out this evil and destroy it with good. Evelyn, not believing, sees the IRS agent, Deidre, kill the version of her in the universe where she spoke with Waymond. Terrified, Evelyn makes decisions and mistakes that lead her on a path of experiencing other universes in order to fight this evil.
The movie is amazing. The cast and characters are well written and thought out. The movie is perfect, in my opinion.
You see Evelyn, who gets to see the different life paths she lives because of the choices she's made. She gets to see that every choice leads to her having a better life than her current one.
You see Waymond, who is a goofy but loving husband who is seeking a divorce from Evelyn. There is an understanding that he loves her very much and desires to grow old together.
You see Joy, the daughter who is never good enough in her mother's eyes. Filled with depression and hopelessness, Joy seeks for someone to tell her that she matters, that her life matters.
You see the grandfather, someone who spent a lifetime being upset at their child so he chose to abandon her. Yet, in his late life, has to depend on her to take care of him.
You see Deidre, the IRS agent who somewhat gets a sadistic kick out of making other peoples' lives miserable because her own is pretty miserable.
And you see how each decision, and each indecision, has led to something different, to a path that spawned an infinite multiverse.
This movie deals with several issues that human beings have: why am I here, why do I matter, and can my life be better if I did things differently.
I don't know how to explain it, but the movie makes you ponders these questions and answers them for you. You're here because you're important. You matter because you're worthy. Your life can always be better.
But the focus is greatly upon understanding that in all the infinite multiverses, the one you live in, the life you live, every decision and every choice you made, all of it, everything, matters. The appreciation that you learn to have for yourself, your life, and the lives of others around you, helps to establish that this here, all this, is important. You see your life in a different way: not in all the failures and setbacks you had, but in all the achievements and the life you have.
This movie is amazing for me. It's so much and nothing and everything all at once. I have a deeper understanding and appreciation of myself and others around me since watching this. I suggest everyone should watch it at least once.

Jurassic World Dominion
(2022)
Not a Good Movie or Good Ending to an Amazing Franchise
8 June 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I didn't like it. It seemed very far fetched and not even what I thought it would be. I honestly liked the park movies more when they tried splicing dinosaurs. This movie wasn't that good. I wouldn't watch it again even though I really, really love dinosaurs.
Spoilers ahead.

Jurassic Dominion starts with the timeline being four years passed since Fallen Kingdom. There is no explanation on how there exists an insanely huge amount of dinosaurs more than those that escaped from the Lockwood mansion on the mainland. The raptor Blue was given some super speculative explanation as to having some dna of a lizard that can reproduce on its own in times of no other available mates. That's a slight chance of possibility of occurrence.
Dinosaurs are being bought and sold on the black market, and still, they went with the very stupid idea that a laser target will induce a carnivorous dinosaur to attack said target. Any time you can point a laser at someone, you can also point a gun.
The dinosaur fights weren't all that interesting. It wasn't very good. At one point, Claire was outrunning a dinosaur that was chasing her in Malta, but as soon as she ended up in a vehicle, the dinosaur was right behind the car. I mean, Claire must be running at like, 80mph to outrun the dinosaur.
The clone girl, Maisie, is a clone but also the genius and illegal experiment of Lockwood's brainiac daughter, Charlotte, who created Maisie because she wanted children...it doesn't even make sense. Adopt a child. Fall in love with a suitable boyfriend or husband to have a child with. It makes absolutely no sense on how Charlotte didn't even know she had a genetic disease that killed her, yet cloned Maisie and was able to alter Maisie's dna to eradicate the genetic anomaly.
Nothing came from the buyers at Lockwood mansion who bought dinosaur eggs who survived. There's no story following those dinosaurs.
The scientist all of a sudden having a conscience without no path on how he changed is very much holding no sympathy from me. There's no progress in his character. He went from "guy who placed money above all else" to "guy who wants to save the world for free". It's a total 180 that I doesn't make sense.
All the new dinosaurs literally came from nowhere. Biosyn, which is supposed to be the company that stole the dinosaur eggs in Jurassic Park, had Dino eggs for like, two decades and did NOTHING with those eggs until now? It makes no sense. Also, the guy they had to steal the dinosaur eggs got killed and dropped the container holding the eggs where it was covered with mud and assumed to be lost. Where are the new dinosaurs coming from?
Also, apex predators in the same habitat and not a single one was harmed? You have the t-Rex, the allosaurus, and the therizinosauraus. One didn't kill the other? And why is the therizinosauraus blind? It obviously didn't see Claire which gave her enough time to crawl into the water.
I love Chris Pratt, especially in The Tomorrow War, but his character literally wasn't that interesting in this one.
It was nostalgic seeing the older cast, but the reason why they were in the movie is pretty dumb. You'd think they'd come back to rid the world of dinosaurs but nope. Just some giant locusts. That's why. Also, wouldn't they be retired by now and living the rest of their lives being happy? Also, haven't they learned already that they don't want to deal with dinosaurs since the last few movies?
And since when do guns, missiles, and nukes not kill dinosaurs? The world has pretty powerful weapons. I mean, if a dinosaur can withstand a missile, the military application wouldn't be to use the creature to kill people. The application should be taking that dinosaur skin and making amazing bullet proof body armor from it.
Anyway, that's my take on why I don't like the movie and won't watch it again.
Spoilers ahead.

The Tomorrow War
(2021)
A fun, action packed film!
2 July 2021
Haters are going to hate. Movies aren't supposed to be political or transcendental or some other bs. Movies are entertainment and anyone who tries to dissect every flaw in something is a miserable human being.
This movie was great! It had amazing cgi alien creatures that moved realistically with a smooth fluidity. The cast was memorable and remarkable. The dynamic between Chris Pratt snd his daughter was excellent. The action was intense and fun. It was over 2 hours but I barely even noticed the long run time because the movie was very good.
At times, the dialogue were low and the special effects were very loud but that's a common theme in all movies, not just this one. Let's go back to one of my favorite movies, Alien from like, 1987, where the sounds were incredibly loud with the dialogues spoken in whispers. It's just the way movies have been.
I've already watched this movie twice since it came out yesterday and I'll watch it again. It really is worth the watch and I definitely recommend it.

I Care a Lot
(2020)
A Huge Disappointment
22 February 2021
The film was great until the last half hour or whatever. I lost track because I'm so annoyed at the lack of continuity in the movie. Even at the end when the writers gave me what I wanted, I already hated it halfway through so I'm completely filled with disgust.
I would not recommend this film. In fact, I absolutely hate it and I wouldn't watch it again.
