Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire (2023)
The Magnificent Seven Samurai ride again!
Dear me, where do I start?
OK, the main story is pinched from the Magnificent Seven, which was pinched from th
Kurosawa's 1954 film The Seven Samurai.
The Baddie is in fact Tommy Shelby from Peaky Blinders, the haircut is a dead giveaway 😄
You've got little space ships secured by ropes.
Big spaceships with canopies so thin that you can stab a pear through them, and make them crash by killing the guy operating the gun turret. The aforementioned Tommy Shelby manages to survive falling from a low orbit onto some rocks.
Most the bits that aren't from the two previously mentioned donor films are taken from Star Wars, although it was nice to see the Borg Queen from Star Trek make a cameo appearance.😄
I'm not surprised George Lucas turned it down, he probably thought he was the only one making SciFi films out Kurosawa's old films, having based Star Wars on his 1958 film Hidden Fortress.
Nothing new here, but for anyone under 12 should be quite entertaining. 😀
The Tourist (2022)
Plot holes and continuity errors aplenty.
First series was good.
Second series was laughable. Plot holes you could drive a bus through litter it like confetti.
Our hero, trying get away from people chasing him in a van by running down a road, whilst surrounded by open moorland and then a pine forest, yet he sticks resolutely to the track, obviously he gets caught, he escapes and does it again. To give just one example.
Continuity is appalling too. One minute he's on a barren island, no trees at all, then he's running through forest looking remarkably like the one mentioned earlier, yet not visible in the drone shot of the island., then he's at a cliff again.
As for the fake beard at the start. 😄
Some of the dialogue is great, but the way the story has been executed really let's it down.
Finding Alice (2021)
Utterly stupid
If there is an illogical or stupid thing to do or say in any particular situation then "Alice" will do it.
Clearly Mr Nye needs a well written storyline (The Durrells) to give him the framework to write a decent series.
Annoying in the extreme.
