Secrets in the Ice (2020)
Watched 1st one for me S1 3
Two major errors already in 30 mins. Virus shown propagating like bacteria and pictures of the North Sea covered in pack ice.
Engineering Catastrophes (2018)
A superb series
From the point of view of enthralling and educating the public this is an extraordinary series.It also hits high spots in terms of variety, pacing and photography, graphics and human content / sensitivity. Should be compulsory viewing for all politicians and senior civil servants, as well as employed and civil engineers and consultants for cases outside their specialisms .

Aladdin and the King of Thieves (1996)
Far too US orientated (spoiler included)
Don't watch this if you are not American as they have tried to make all the humour colloquial machine gun US and tragically succeeded.
The concept of a genie as a permanent character with unlimited assistance is absurd both in terms of the original story and the fact that he could have whipped the opposition after five minute, but somehow doesn't bother enough.
Concept of bad father and struggle of same interacting with the son is very good though far too subtle for any child under ten I would suggest and end the end of the day is bad role model for the young.
Technically, seems fine.
I don't know why I am forced to do ten lines when a film is so bad. This policy should be reviewed. Five lines is more than enough for a film rated bad by the reviewer .
The Russell Girl (2008)
A weakness, but otherwise OK +
Karma is not God's retribution or reward in this life as stated by the mother of the main character. Either the mother is stupid/ignorant as a character, which does not seem to make sense, or the screenplay writer is.
Karma..................... 'In Indian philosophy, the influence of an individual's past actions on his future lives or reincarnations. It is based on the conviction that the present life is only one in a chain of lives . The accumulated moral energy of a person's life determines his or her character, class status, and disposition in the next life. The process is automatic, and no interference by the gods is possible. In the course of a chain of lives, people can perfect themselves and reach the level of Brahma, or they can degrade themselves to the extent that they return to life as animals. The concept of karma, basic to Hinduism, was also incorporated into Buddhism and Jainism.'
