I'm only here to reflect on what could have been with this season. Highs and lows, lower then this. Subterranean. Not possibly but definitely the only trek episode I have EVER consciously turned off, once I realised how bad it was going to be. I have no words for how bad I feel for the franchise sustainability when I see this type of nonsense. It seems just when you think something will materialise of quality to even come close to previous shows, this titanic comes out and sinks all the good will. Trekkies are Trekkies and don't watch this show for Glee copies in space. Please get back on point and stop messing around with the CPU.

I am one of those people that continue to watch on the basis to see how bad it could get. The season 2, 2 part finale has reached the pinnacle, or hit the depths of the 'marianas trench' of bad tv. It's like having a Ferrari GTO, driving it for a few years, putting it in storage then rolling it out to discover you now have a 83 Corrolla instead. It's still a car with wheels, but that's the only thing you recognise. Sorry, the susbsequent trainwrecks following the franchise after the success of first film only compound the disaster that SITC can be described as. Characters no one likes, stories no one understands and scenes so cringeworthy, you wonder if they even watch them back after filming. Che, Lisa, Seema, Nya have about as much charisma as a burnt out tobacco pipe. Sorry it's a brutal review, but it's brutal tv. RIP SITC, we will honor your history and remember you as you were.

Just finished watching the last episode. Have to say that the writers should be ashamed that this one went to the screen. From a promising first episode (As usual), things go downward pretty quickly until that point when you know it's not going to get better. Plot 'Chasms' abound. The 'limey' bad guy became a characature in the the end. . I remembered him from the sci fi show ' Humans'. He was as wooden in that as he is in this. Elba should stick to documentaries for the next few outings after this stinker. Don't waste your time bingers. The hidden twists and turns became ludicrous in the end.

Irritatingly poor sequel, few squealer moments, some poor casting choices and generally a weird ungelled feeling from the film. What could have been an interesting premise and plot development turned into a run of the mill popcorn movie immediately forgotten and assigned to the file ' Disappointing and pointless sequels'

Having direct experience of parental dementia, it's not that I am unfamiliar with the material to hand. However, from the first moment to the last, I waited impatiently, without result, for a sense of the 'Profound', as several reviewers ardently highlighted, in their emotive reviews. Instead, we received a dour 90 mins of abject misery, loss and ultimately futility of life. Not one to watch during covid for sure. Actually, not one to watch at any time if you are depressed easily. I must say, the congrats must go to the pigeon, he at least had the most screen presence.

Having watched SWTFA several weeks ago now, I have given myself sufficient time for consideration of an appropriate reply. However, I think as a 47 year old who was around for the original trilogy, I would like to leave only one simple piece of advice. Watch the film for the enjoyment factor first and foremost, save the analysis to the posters here who have 2 hours to spew blah on the comparisons to previous films, directors, themes etc etc, ad infinitum. I wanted to feel like an 8 year old again and did. The rest is just cornflakes. The opening credits, the X wings on the horizon across the water and Solo on the bridge of the falcon should be enough to jog the emotion cells of anyone who has an imagination. Don't bring baggage by reading 50 reviews, just get blown away by the feel good.

As a professional in the business, I can only cringe in horror as I watch painfully how one individual (in the name of entertainment) can damage, taint, and downright slander the hospitality profession with his profane and crude operating style. No Management would EVER tolerate a chef like Ramsey, no matter how talented he may be. At the end of the day it's about coaching, guidance, mentoring and motivation. Not nervous breakdowns, strain, stress, aggression and vitriol. Sure these places have problems, but the solutions do not lie in a 7 day fix. Clean Kitchens and stores require training, education of hygiene practices, process analysis and much more. For those poor people who were considering working in the kitchen or in the restaurant business, this is reality TV, plumped up with assumption, false premise and downright misrepresentation. Don't let this abomination of a show put you off. The reality in this case is different.

Just reviewing the film following a screening with my 10 year old and 14 year old. My daughter 10 thought it was wow, my son 14, thought it was OK.....as for me, a lover of the sci fantasy genre, I can safely say that the caramel popcorn I enjoyed during the movie was a) more enjoyable b) had more interest c) showed more LIFE than any of the cardboard cutout actors who collected their paycheck for this turkey.

All I can say is that Disney, the director and whoever else was responsible for this diatribe should seek other careers as tanking $250 million on this dog is reprehensible.

Nice to see some 'Rome' stars in it, that's about all that took my interest. The Princess Mahogany was instantly forgettable, as was the CGI.

I have to say that the dog / monster thing was bar far the best actor in the film and should be nominated for an Oscar. The rest should Barsoom off somewhere with their tails between their legs in shame.
