Star Trek: Discovery (2017)
All miss, no hit
This show starts in very JJ Abrams-y - dark, action packed and with lens flare everywhere. While the movies tried something new, this is just following the trend which gets boring quite quickly (about two episodes in in my case).
I think creators realized this and pivoted towards personal drama after about 2 seasons. If characters were interesting or would not have stupid plot armour it might've worked. Instead they made cheap space soap opera where most of the characters are just weepy, needy and boring.
None of this managed to capture the original idea or spirit of star trek. I wish they spent money to re-master some of the old shows to HD and wide screens. Watching annoying Neelix and self righteous Janeway feels like a balsam for the eyes. Even if super pixelated on modern TVs.
I am giving this 4/10 solely because it stars badass Michelle Yeoh as a badass Georgiou.
The National Parks: America's Best Idea (2009)
I thought I was going to see a documentary about nature
I really love nature and history documentaries and I thought this is going to be one of them or rather a combination of the two. But no, this is a political propaganda, disguised as a nature/history documentary. It is so disgusting that it washes away any other good parts, like cinematography.
Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
Good movie, if you are a child.
Let's start with the good:
- the visuals are great
- the action is nice
- it has lightsabers
- perfect if you are 7-12 years old
- there is some character development
- scenes are way to fast and feel rushed even if the movie is not short
- story is laughable
- plot "twists" are not believable, even for a space fairytale
- as predictable as a fairytale can be
- It made me appreciate the second trilogy
- no Yoda
Watchmen (2019)
I really do not understand the negative comments
I've seen 4 episodes and while first two are a bit slow, it gets more interesting with each following episode.
Yes, this of course is not a recreation of the comics but rather set in the same world and events of the comics are set in the past.
I agree that the racism thingy does not hit home with international audience and is probably the reason why people are giving it the negative reviews, but I did not find it to be a problem. At least if you start watching without any expectations and with an open mind. Remember that the Watchmen have their own universe that is different to ours. Cornerstone events happened differently than in our history.
The production quality is very good, the acting is great and the characters are getting more interesting (quite a lot of grey areas) with each new episode.
Based on first few episodes I am giving it a solid 9
Overboard (2018)
Quite nice
I wanted to see why this does not have a better rating and I see most people complain that it is not as original. Never seeing the original, I find this movie quite charming, even funny. It is somewhat predictable but it redeems itself as it is a good experience.
Good touch with end credits scene as well.
Titan A.E. (2000)
What a film!
I am wondering why the low score. This has to be one of the most underrated sci fi animations I've seen. I loved the story, the characters and the visuals.
I won't spoil the film, but I will urge anyone who loves sci fi, or animation in general, to give it a try. It is suitable for adults and children!
A Star Is Born (2018)
Wow, why the great reviews
Let me get right to the point:
- boring
- predictable
- average performance
- wtf
The upside is naked lady gaga. I would have given it 1 point otherwise.
