Wow, they cannibalized so many sci fi movies and video games from the last 20 years. Like total rips. The only thing that makes these movies even remotely entertaining is the actual CGI. Its so nonsensical sometimes you think you're watching Dont Look Up. This movie rips Gravity, Star Trek, Elysium, Armageddon, and thats just to start.

They took some liberties but it was a decent movie in the style of 1970's drama/thrillers. Young folks definitely won't like it but older people will feel the nostalgia.

They made this movie for the 100 people who liked the comic. It's total nonsense to the rest of us.

An even snoozier version of Ex Machina. This really could have been a Dust (YouTube) short film and in fact there are several films just like this out there. The setting was beautiful though.

The acting really carries this and it was beautifully shot. Sometimes less is more.

I was absolutely blown away with how good this is. Harold Torres deserves the highest television award for his role. 100%

I watch a lot of films and frankly this one had no punch. There are about 3 or 4 interesting scenes; the rest is just dead space. I love his other films but this one was a dud for me

The people that hate it dont understand that it's an allegory for modern dating. You look at an app like Tinder and its just as ridiculous. The definitely laughed a few times and I found some parts cruel but that's what good movies do. They make you feel stuff.

If you liked The Life Aquatic... you'll enjoy this. It really is a dark Wes Anderson type movie. I gave it a 7 because it can be slow at times.

Don't listen to the critics. They wanted more dirt but Queen was involved and probably told a story that was closer to the truth. It was tastefully done, funny, and moving. They didn't use Freddie to air out old grievances. Malek was great.

It was funny, action-packed, and gets you right in the feels. The visuals were stunning and frankly, the movie wasn't bogged down with some silly romance which is what kills it for me in other sci-fi movies. They keep that to a minimum and ramp up the humor a notch instead. Without giving away too much, they've toned down Kylo Ren a bit as well and actually make a tongue-in-cheek joke about that as well.

Only the fanboys who are in way too deep are giving this bad reviews. Take 100 of them and put them in the room and they will give you 100 half-baked ideas on what the franchise should do. They don't realize how hard this is with icons dying and other icons just simply wanting out and then having to introduce new characters and maintain the narrative that they've been at war for over 40 years. That's a long time.

I'm old enough to have seen episodes 5 and 6 in the theaters and I'm telling you, this movie is as good if not better than Empire. It wasn't perfect but who cares? Neither was Empire. There were some obvious scenes that borrowed from stuff you've seen before like Battlestar Galactica and previous SW movies but again, so what?

Let's face it, you're gonna see it anyway so sit back and enjoy.

I have a dim view of comic book TV shows and I was completely underwhelmed by Jessica Jones. Ten episodes of her chasing this guy bored me to death. The only character who I found interesting was the neighbor girl who lived with her brother. You never knew quite what she was going to do. So, even though I LOVE Marvel movies, I had low expectations for Luke Cage.

Turns out, it was a robust crime drama with several plot lines. I liked how it was similar to New York Undercover with the nightclub setting and the famous acts. And while it IS a show that reminds you of something you've seen in the past, Colter makes up for that with his southern-man-in-NY thing. As a native NY'er, its obvious to me that he's NOT NY guy. That's character depth.

I liked how it showed people of color in all walks of life. The show is funny at times; you have to be immersed in a certain culture to get some of the jokes. I suspect this was what people who didn't like the show hated the most. Jokes about black sororities or listening to the Delfonics is lost on what would be the broader target audience for this show. The language might also put people off.

But hey, I applaud them for putting something unique and authentic out there. There's enough happening in this show that it really is a good time.
