Atlas (2024)
Not as bad as described
I had fun watching it. It is not Aliens, but it is good enough for an evening having dinner. I like Jennifer Lopez on screen. I enjoyed her in Out of Sight and Shades of Blue. She got better with the years and strong but difficult characters seems to fit her.
For me Atlas had some flavor of "Outer Limits". The dialogs between her and Smith are funny and that a strong AI comes to the conclusion that the problems humans have are not solvable because humans are the problem is not out of the thinkable ideas.
Tricks are enjoyable and the action is believable. It is to mention that she is not a skinny superfighter who knocks out 10 grown up and trained men.
Ragnarok: Ragnarok (2023)
Political Correct Nonsense
I liked it until the last episode. It seemed political influenced. Ragne who was the center of the fight between the gods and the giants had just some kind of delusion.
The murder of his friend, the fight with the giant, the attemt to drug him with psychotropic drugs to silcence him. The corrupt pychiatrist, the corruption of the social life of Edda, the big snake who was realeased in the ocean. Where it does nothing any more.
Nothing happened. All a comic fantasy and the audience is supposed to believe that.
I understand that the creators didn't want to tell a story about a failure of institutions, so they made in the end a story of psychological problems.
That seems to me a real ugly twist.
The Little Mermaid (2023)
Good filming, bad writing
I would'nt say anything against the filming. The pictures were good. CGI was good enough for me. Halle Bailey did a good job. So on this side nothing to complain.
But the story was boring written beyond anything I watched for a long time. That was new to me. I loved most of the Pixar and Disney movies but nothing was so bleak and boring written.
The jokes were not good, the songs were not good, the scenes with people having fun, were not fun to watch. And it was all the writing.
The whole story was so stupid that a six year old kid would be insulted by the idea that it was supposed to be a movie for kids and such ones who didn't forget what it is like to be a kid.
No wonder it was not the success Disney had hoped for.
