The Ribbon (2019)
9/10
An Outstanding Work
19 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Animation films are productions where a lot of effort is spent on them and are much more complicated than a typical film. The script, design, animation, voiceover and music should be in complete harmony. Since there is no live performance, the slightest defect can ruin the whole movie. However, Ribbon did an excellent job in this sense. It turned into a tremendous short film with a high-quality animation, appropriate sound effects and atmosphere appropriate music. This animation film has some minor flaws in terms of cinematography. For example, instead of choosing the "fade in" technique for the beginning of this film, a different method could have been used. For example, the little girl could open her eyes, or we could see the character in a different place with a sound/music. It was a simple opening scene for such a beautiful animation. We have to state that we find the movie a little short. More action or events related to the little girl could have been presented. Almost a third of the movie is "credits" section. The most impressive part of animation films are their soundtracks. Music is the most striking element in every single screen work, especially in which there is no speech, where emotions are tried to be conveyed through images. Jonathan Galland, whom we have known for his various works (such as Exploring the Pacific Northwest), has done an outstanding job. Music within the fiction supports the script, and there is no narration that the music suppresses. The musical element has been used as an utterly supportive element. Especially the composition at the end of the movie is also very suitable for the nature of the film. The Ribbon is a well above average short film in terms of drawing technique, fiction and especially music. When the movie is over, you say "I wish it had a little longer". The scenario understood from the first moments and the predicted finale could be made more mysterious by extending the duration of the movie a little longer. A few more exciting events, especially the little girl's experience, could be added. Nevertheless, it should be appreciated as a successful animated film in its current form. Finally, I would like to state that we love the poster of the movie as well.

There's a problem with the storytelling of the film
30 October 2019
When you first look at the cast, you keep your expectations high. However, the scenario is not successful. They tried to build the film through the dialogue of several actors. Too much swearing. Most of them are unnecessary. There is no striking effect in the final because the scenario of the flow is weak. You cut the expectation of the final. I think the interrogation scene is the best in the movie. A double-sided mirror joke was also very good. It was under mediocre when it could be better...

Another Life (2019–2021)

Stay away...

Warning: Spoilers
I can't believe Netflix is trying to make a series that cheap. There are no uniforms, no military units, no security, no logic, nothing, except for five soldiers around the spaceship! The ship has an artificial intelligence, anxious and mentally ill. A very unsuccessful series, hopefully the 2nd season does not come ...

Discard the alien name, then it is a good sci-fi movie!
19 May 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Before I watched the movie, I had high hopes. The start of film is a little bit shocking because James Franco is quitting by an accident. That's weird because we thought he was in the main cast. In general, Covenant isn't a bad movie. Just it doesn't fit to Alien sequence. If you think Covenant separately from the Alien movies, you'll be enjoyed in most parts. But if you are a fan of the series, you'll be disappointed. It is a carbon copy of Prometheus. Go to an exo-planet, land somewhere suitable, search the environment, explore the alien ship, then all soldiers are acting clumsy. Finally, alien/aliens hunts you all. That's the summary of the movie. At last, I have a question to Ridley Scott and writers. Is it necessary for Alien to always fall into space? ISn't there another ways to kill it?..
