Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022)
Simple-minded scifi
Relationships reign. It's a silly soap opera. They forgot to add science fiction to the series. I couldn't care less about the intimacies between Spock and T'Pring. The episode was wasted.
There's way too much sexy interaction. It is not quite appropriate for early teens You're not suppose to be grooming, you know. Stick to the science. People interested in science are, and always have been, annoyed at this obession so many people have with sexually charged interactions. Unless they are disordered somehow, nerds sit around and argue how some scientific occurrence could or could not have happened, or alternate ways of dealing with some catastrophe.
Get back to the science in scifi.
Lost in Space (2018)
No wonder kids can't master STEM.
The science is inaccurate.
Magnesium doesn't need to be ignited by a flame. It bursts into flame on contact with water. The magnesium sitting adjacent to the ice, where Will's father chipped off pieces, would have been burning, ferociously !
Please, please display reality accurately to children.
The Imitation Game (2014)
Not enough science
This is a good flick. But if you are like me you started skipping the interpersonal stuff about halfway through. It would have been such a better flick if the gay agenda wasn't being pushed so hard. Okay, he was a sweet kid who fell in love with an older student. I can't help but wonder how he would have turned out in a school that wasn't all- boys. Some nice young girl might have taken him under her wing, and the rest of his life wouldn't have needed to be hidden. In either case, the interpersonal stuff was just in the way.
Much more about the reasoning involved and the particulars of the development of his 'machine' would have made this so much better a motivating movie.
Orphan Black (2013)
Endless exaggerated femininity is ugly
As it unfolds, the basic story has potential. Down and out young lady stumbles onto a look-a-like committing suicide. It does seem strange that the look-a-like doesn't react at all upon seeing the star, which makes her seem drugged or mentally disturbed.
If the disordered Gay was not in the series, it might be great. But the nearly continuous disordered, horribly exaggerated, pretentious caricature of femininity in so many scenes just destroys the story. Get rid of Jordan Gavaris.
I doubt if I can watch more than a few episodes, skipping the most unpleasant parts of the Birdcage to get back to what might prove to be an interesting sci-fi. Jordan ruined it. Was his character really necessary? No.
