don't get the hype, way worse than part I
18 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Dune went pretty much down-hill in the second part. The whole story feels fully constructed and is full of flaws and plot holes. Like in the beginning they raid a harvester which has support legs, even though it runs on tracks... they put a lot of effort into hiding behind those legs and then shot down a fighter, after that they destroy the harvester with powerful lasers. Before and after that scene all harvester do not have these legs. Also on the following raid, they can kill the harvester with lasers even while multiple fighters fly around. Why did they not shoot down the fighters with the lasers first? Why those lasers never been used before by anybody, not even in the fight sword vs sword, nobody is using lasers except the desert people? Then the means of transport is riding a worm? Why does the worm stay on the surface, why it doesn't dive. They said if worms meet they fight to the death, yet they can ride 4-5 worms parallel and they seem to get along. Then at one scene he drinks the water of life and suddenly everybody else is there. Wasn't he just in the north and said he can't go south, whereas everybody else went south? How was he there first and how did everybody else show up after he drank? Why did he not drink after his mother had a sip? Why the old mother said they made a mistake when she realized the pregnancy? After watching the movie, it just felt like the story was written so it's reaching the desired end no matter the means... to me this all made no sense in the end. Lots of points for cast and fx.

Nothing unexpected and no surprises
4 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
When I watch a good movie, I finish it in a go, with this one, I took a break and made dinner, so I can do something useful with the time while watching and have at least something to eat... The movie is kinda of a mix of movies you've seen already, there are no plot twists, nothing is unexpected, the classic trip'n'fall, the silly goose trying to save everything and the gun that is "empty"... what a snooze-fest. I felt like the dinosaurs looked pretty unreal, probably low cgi-budget? And overall i will not remember this movie, it's just nothing new. They didn't even bother to keep another crew member alive so that he could be eaten by a dinosaur. I can recommend the movie if you have nothing else to do and need some background noise while eating dinner.

Unrest (I) (2017)
10/10
must watch, it's time to start treating and stop just making profits
31 October 2022
This movie is about the greatest sickness in our century, the pharma-profit machine, that only starts if there's money to made, while governments spend billions on military, the medical area is privatize and people get the worst treatment all over the world. Germany has one of the best healthcare systems, they claim, and still it's also fully based on profit. This has to stop, where is the democracy in this, taxes are for the people, not to conquer oilfields in the middle east or to. This movie is just a little part of the long-lasting fight that it will take to bring down big pharma and the politicians filling their pockets with their money.

Was looking forward until I was not
15 April 2022
I didn't saw any trailers or read something about it, but the beginning was very promising... until the first wtf, then the second wtf... a third and then the movie is just plain annoying and pointless.

When I was checking the time hoping it would be over soon, I only had finished 50%. Kudos to everybody who manage to sit through it. This movie makes no sense and is a complete waste of time, money and ressources. It should not exist!

Mediocre story, worse animation quality
24 February 2022
I am near my mid-life crisis but still like to watch a good Animation like Shrek, Moana or Encanto... my favourite though is Spirited Away, anyway, as much as I tried to enjoy the movie, the quality of animation reminds me of a noon-kids tv show, it's nowhere near any animation blockbuster, I'd rather watch an old disney comic animation than this "90s"-3d-style, really put me off.

The title is all you have to know
24 January 2022
Zero and Ones is about making the worst movie ever that will be rated with 0 and 1 on IMDB, I think it's a great success. I couldn't even finish the first 30 minutes and best part is, there are no spoilers because bascially nothing happens. So wonderful movie, and a solid 1 from me.

Works for a rainy sunday but no prime-time
9 January 2022
In general the movie is okay, but I did not buy the whole apocalyptic scenery fuelled by stupidity, it just didn't make much sense to me. And the dialogues are the worst, her boyfriend calls her 'G' in almost every sentence, where as nobody has any clue what his name is. I stopped counting after 20, it's so annoying, nobody talks like that. At the end I was rooting for the Androids.

Don't bother
6 January 2022
80% of the movie is a hysterical mother screaming for her weakling "Diego", absolutely not a must-see, there are plenty of better movies than this snooze-fest.

Not even worth making popcorn for it
29 September 2021
I was intrigured from the description and hoping for something like Altered Carbon or Surrogates after the intro but then it goes downhill so fast, I just stopped caring about the movie and started to read news while it was playing. It's just so ridicolous... you don't feel emotionally invested nor any care about the outcome of the story, I was basically just waiting for it to be over.

Cosmic Sin (2021)
3/10
Don't, just watch anything else, really.
22 May 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I thought Bruce and Frank will make sure this rocks, but I was completely mistaken. Usually I do watch movies with bad rating like Uwe Böll's, Tunnel Rats was actually a good one... and I don't mind the Far Cry one that much. But this movie makes no sense at all. First, we advance 500 years into the future, but still use keyboards, mechanic guns that fire bullets? And that's the theme of the whole movie, there is barely anything that relies on those 500 years, I could just have been 20 and it would be the same. The story is even worse, an attack on another planet, you immediately get some The Expanse vibes like the attack on Ganymede, but nope they just fly to another planet and then even have hand-2-hand combat with an alien, it's just so confusing and completely unreal. If you want high quality sci fi, watch The Expanse, or Altered Carbon or one of those good shows... and to Frank Gallo, dude if you need money that desperate, just ask for it and don't sell yourself for something like that.

Tries to be artsy and sophisticated, but it's not
28 September 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This is the Taken plot, trying to win an emmy. Lots of flashbackes taking you out of the plot, bit's and pieces that aren't explained. In one scene he pulls a teeth out, why... nobody knows. When we found out that the contractee jumped off a roof, it gets interesting, but only to disappoint when the "hunt" should start... our hero is barechested walking about and I am fully out... happy it's over.

Da 5 Bloods (2020)
4/10
Good start incredibly worse end
15 June 2020
Warning: Spoilers
It all starts out with some supposedly vietnams veterans, who fought honorful and now want to return remains of their former squad leader... but then it turns all ghetto... They actually trying to steal gold from the vietnamese, which they hid back then, and they kill everything and everybody in their way. There is no honor in these man, and it's a poor portrait with the old cliché of black ghetto ganster blood bullcrap. This movie was a waste of time.

The Beast (2019)

half the movie is just phone vibration sounds
21 March 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I wanted to like this movie and it had a good start, but after the first half the movie goes down hill... basically it's just a phone vibrating on and on and I had to pause because it was so annoying. I just wanted that detective to get shot on the spot... I cannot recommend this movie.

The Lion King (2019)
7/10
Visuals are amazing, but voices are awful
20 December 2019
Warning: Spoilers
This is one of those movies you should watch in HD, the visuals are really amazing. I also liked that they use the original songs. Still there is no excitement, most people know the story and this is just another remake without soul, but what I found really offputting are the voices... the grown-up Nala has such a thick black accent, that it's disturbing. Beyonce was the wrong pick for this character. She sounds like a Bronx Ghetto Gal and not like a to-be-Queen lion from Africa, I was waiting for the classic 'mhm' and the neck roll.

Starts interesting and then ... nothing happens
19 April 2019
If you want a sci-fi movie with an interesting story you might rather watch the picture of a moon on your screen for 2h, this will give you more insight and entertainment than this "piece of art". But I do have to admit I stopped watching after 1h and went to Netflix.

Prospect (2018)
4/10
a lot of breathing noise makes a good Sci-Fi movie ... not
7 April 2019
As with Interstellar it's the same with Prospect, the actors are always out of breath, breathing heavily into the microphone for two hours. That is also what the movie is mostly about, breathing noise. There is not much more to it, there is a hint of a story but between breathing noises and coughing it just won't appear to the viewer. After all a total waste of time and mostly annoying sound.

Eva, Eva, Eva, Eva!
17 February 2019
80% of the plot is Eva! Eva! Eva? Eva?? I don't even remember the name of the other girl, cause she is always calling her sister for at least 50% of the movie. Logic is nowhere to be found. If you have nothing else to watch, go for Fox News or the last YouTube Top #5 instead.

Watching Maze Runner 1 will give you more satisfaction
14 April 2018
Watching Maze Runner 1 will give you more satisfaction than watching the 3rd and hopefully last part of this catastrophy. I had to press pause to gather the strength to finish this movie. If you are looking for a continuation of the dystopy we saw in the first part, you should brace yourself because this part feels like watching Spy Kids. The CGI is quite bad and took me out of the "immersion" several times. Dialogues are short and nothing we haven't heard before. In the end I wanted them all to get caught and executed, actually I got annoyed that it was always "halt, don't move"... instead of shooting first, questions later. Makes you wonder who the good side, somehow I felt this part made those Spy Kids seem to be the bad guys... so do yourself a favor and don't watch this in hope of a worthy sequel, it's okay though while doing dishes or ironing shirts meanwhile.

Fire! (2009)
2/10
No, no and no
4 June 2017
First I was wondering what was happening, is this Uwe Böll at work? But after checking IMDb it was clear, it must be his twin brother and seeing he was involved in "Alarm für Cobra 11" and "Der Clown" it was clear that all my hopes for this movie are gone. This movie is so bad in dialogue and story that you can only watch it as a Trash-B-Comedy- Action like all those other RTL-shows in German television.

The BFG (2016)
8/10
I liked it
27 November 2016
I do understand that people are disappointed when watching a Kids movie and expecting an exciting and challenging plot. What is wrong with you guys? Just because it says Steven Spielberg doesn't mean this is a movie that is specifically designed for your needs. I am 30+ and I like this movie a lot, watching it from a kids perspective you even understand the breakfast scene and I bet all kids would laugh at it. It is kinda sad, seeing how incapable some people are recognizing a movie for kids as such. This is a proper 8! I like the accent, the CGI is fitting, the story is for kids, so if you are not a kid, stfu. I can fully recommend it to anybody with an open mind, who is not looking for the kids version of an Captain America Civil War CGI fest.

The worst is the camera...
16 October 2016
Warning: Spoilers
The movie story is actually an interesting topic, but it is a pain to watch. The camera is shaking all the time, even when the actor is using a binocular it is shaking very strongly. As if the shaking over- dramatic camera wouldn't be already enough, it is often too zoomed in on a scene or a character that you cannot really feel "in the movie" because this is so off-putting. And then the F16 was totally out of place. So if you keep in mind that this movie was made by the worst director in history plus the worst camera and scene that I ever experienced, you can go ahead and suffer through these 1h37m, I could not.

Was hoping for an Indian Zohan...
12 December 2015
Unfortunately it's not Zohan, its neither as funny nor as witty, cheap laughs, which made me hardly smile at all they are rather annoying. The cast is really good but the script totally isn't. I did not even finish the movie in one go, which is rare but it drag's on and on and you hope for it go become the funny movie you're hoped for and then it ends... It's okay for a Sunday afternoon but this is no popcorn-watch-with- friends-prime time material. All in all don't get your hopes up. The jokes are lame, the story is boring, the script is bad as well especially in terms of dialogues, they're are awful and Sandler's part is all too serious all the time. If you want to have a laugh, go watch Don't Mess With Zohan instead!

Daybreakers (2009)

Why ruin such a good idea
30 April 2010
Warning: Spoilers
I was so excited when I read the plot of this movie. In most vampire movies, the vampire's are dying at the end and thats it, but what would the world looks like if the vampire would make it. That's what I was hoping to find out, but instead it was just a merely random story, put together with tiny pieces and loads of blood.

First I thought the water was the cure, but it's not, which made it even more ridiculous. Many scenes contain unnecessary gore which does not fit a serious movie, it's more for causing shocking moments, but for me it made this movie just ridiculous and took it's seriousness. There is no information about the History of mankind, its just *snap* 2019, 95% all humans are dead or vampires... Most annoying are scenes like when they went to the co-worker of the main actor, you actually see him placing his mobile into his jacket without switching it off, but nobody recognized it and oh surprise... the vampire army.

The movie is way too fast, you do not have time to get to know some character... *flash* good vampire *flash* bad brother *flash* human hero *flash* good vampire becomes human *flash* they go hunt down the boss *end*

If you wanna watch a movie while cleaning your house or cooking, perfect! But if you want some popcorn hour, watch Matrix.
