Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Subspace Rhapsody (2023)
Not the musical type, but this was a tonne of fun!
Star Trek has been around awhile and there are good episodes and not so good. This was a fun take on some of the others that introduce a virus or something controlling the characters.
While the premise might be a bit cheesy, the cast pulled it off and made the episode very fun. They kept using their technology to troubleshoot and figure out the problem... While singing and dancing.
And the Klingons! I laughed so hard at that scene! Not going to give it away, but it was unexpected for sure.
This episode gets a 9.5/10 from me. My wife would probably give it a 10.
No spoilers here, but give it a watch. Unless you hate fun, this was one of the most entertaining episodes in decades.
Galaxy Quest (1999)
Instant classic!
A nod to Star Trek TV shows and movies everywhere.
The beginning of the movie is somewhat questionable, making viewers wonder what the heck they are watching. However, the scene after the comic-con (and everything going forward) is magnificent!
The way the characters interact, to the starship launch sequence, to the female character's clothing getting ripped apart and falling off... Lol!
If you are a fan of the Original Series, TNG, or any of the ST movies, give this a watch. It's an excellent comedic view of the shows. They have perfected the Star Trek genre. Please don't make another, since there is no way to top this masterpiece.
The Bubble (2022)
It got good at the drug scene
Spoilers ahoy...
Granted, it was made during the pandemic, but...
The movie was lacking something until they started doing drugs. Then it got about 8. After that it was about 6.8 decent, but decelerated over the next ten minutes or so. The 3.4 I was feeling up the the drug scene averages out to about a 5.0 for when whole movie.
I recently watched Velocipastor, and this was basically 100% better, but somehow I still can't recommend this movie. It has several actors I like, so it's pretty sad to say it was a flop.
If I had the choice between this and the fan edit version of Top Gun Maverick, I would pick it 99.7% over this.
IO (2019)
Kept waiting for something to happen...
...but nothing ever happened. Period.
It says this review is too short. Words. Words. More words.
How the Universe Works (2010)
The world would be better if more people watched this show
One of my favorite shows. Great content. Great explanations of multiple concepts.
Excellent job! Keep it up!
The Dawnseeker (2018)
I could have do e better in my back yard
The special effects are ridiculous. Not realistic, and could have been done better 30 years ago (maybe longer). The acting is sub-par. Did I mention it looks like a middle school project shot in the woods behind my house?
They tried to make it like Predator, but Sharknado was probably more like Predator than this movie.
If you want to spend some time, you are probably better off taking a nap instead of watching this movie.
Wow. What a bad movie. Awful. I think I'm going 1 star instead of 2 after this review.
Primer (2004)
Still thinking about this movie years later
I've read the theories. I've watched the movie many times. For a movie to have that much of an effect after so much time, it must be unique.
Tackling not only time travel, but multiple timelines, they manage to leave several questions unanswered, while satisfyingly producing a great time travel movie. Bravo!
Time Trap (2017)
This is how Sci-Fi should be done
At first, I thought I had started a C-grade film. No news about it. No place to watch it online. Was this a dumb, made-for-TV movie?
Turns out the answer is no. The story is well done, and has some surprising twists as you watch. Sure, it drags at first, but gets better throughout. The acting and direction are also not bad, as others have stated.
The search for the 'Fountain of Youth' turns out to have extraordinary events tied to it. Not going to give away the details. Watch and see.
Would recommend to anyone who likes Sci-Fi.
