Someone wants movie award.
13 October 2019
Playing it safe, if you want to win any movie prize, make a movie about WW2 ...corresponding with victor's history view...

Getting very boring by now...

No matter the implementation. It's beating the dead horse well beyond decomposition...

waste

Good locking authentic but not much else... in addition to all what was already said, I especially HATED the sudden changes in volume of noises... it was generally very quiet with occasional VERY noisy interruptions ( screams, flash etc..)... if this is how the director attempts to create atmosphere it's seems very basic to me...

lol .. now do Israel / Judaism in US government.. I dare you!

No Obama !? this "conspiracy" they discovered hsa nothing really to do with Trump as he got the power not because of it ( any interest groups in leadership)but despite of it...

As well it takes too long to list few actual facts they have... they should have studied the issues more deeply (like walking around embargoes..) instead of attempting to create atmosphere of something evil and sinister...

Perhaps it's just for brainwashing of simple minded democratic/leftist/liberal (all the same) viewership. In that case it works.

Lmao.. they did some smollett there..

Bad idea, bad execution, bad acting, no remorse, no introspection, no character to speak of. I gave it 2*... would have given it 1 but the sandwich was at least saved. ;)

farce
12 January 2019
FBI agent in high heels... pretty face can't act... academy full of fake agents...all of the "management" is acting based on emotions for their own little agendas, not facts and for higher good - for the country... perhaps this is the FBI decades of democrat/liberal government created...

this TV show is waste of time ( you can use it to run in the background while doing something more interesting)... another generic unoriginal propaganda piece... and don't get me started on the grandstanding speeches and music ..

not that much about castles...but good to relax ..
15 May 2018
Too much stories (as I am not historian, I will not judge accuracy), too little technical details... The buildings serve as the background for historical stories .. yes, perhaps related to the castle, but still.. the presenter is going too far on a tangent by my opinion..

Would prefer less emotions, more "dry" technical stuff.

..removing 1 * for the idiotic tattoos of the "historian".. what a childish thing to do ..and forcing us to watch.. ;-)

something for millennial simpletons
14 May 2018
Easy adventures loosely based on short windows in historical events .. ... unfortunately it's FULL of PC commentary and other BS ... this is mainstream processed "history" with occasional sprinkle of current western liberal-neoMarxist governmental propaganda (accepted black "history", LGBT, anti free-market (capitalist))... I took 2* down just for that...

Otherwise actors are decent, interiors acceptable by low-budget TV show (no exteriors to speak of)..

For historically more precise and immersive adventure, see "El ministerio del tiempo" ;-) ...though you should probably learn some Spanish first :)

...actually I just learned this is rip-off from the much better Spanish version.. thus giving it 2* for the poor effort..

The Rain (2018–2020)
4/10
you can do some work with this on the other screen..
6 May 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Script & dialogues were written by some 12 - 15 years old.. .. Not sure how would 5 year non-cleaned braces look like.. but probably VERY bad... the religious girl is as well a little chubby for long-time hungry scavenger..all of them look good fed, like they just came from well kept homes for 2-3 days trip.. It's said in harsh times, the more intelligent survive... these would be dead or enslaved within 2 weeks... After 5 years of barely post-apocalyptic survival they have still mostly the same clothing like in flash-backs .. they have no idea about their environment, they are still wandering the country living from day-to-day.. no survival skills to speak of... Just 1 weapon ( still having ammunition after 5years of post-apocalyptic survival ?).

They don't see obvious dangers, they don't ask obvious questions, they are too dense to survive..

Visually it's fine (4* just for that). No CGI but I don't mind. Didn't like the music on occasions ( tooo mucho teenee )..

..at least there is no PC multi-culti devolved casting..

The Handmaid's Tale (2017–2025)
3/10
social sci-fi from other era
29 April 2018
Not that bad actually.. though you mustn't forget : this was written by leftist environmental activist - woman, 40 years ago... And it really shows...

Before the scourge of islam befall on Europe (ideology where a lot of women actually live such lives for centuries), before overpopulation in Africa became the real problem of future humanity, before - due to wealth created by capitalism (meaning real free-trade), hordes of low IQ breeders overruled the more intelligent segments of population and leftist big-government systems started taking the sovereign nations apart .. This was written at time where leftist neo-marxist already took over the western educational system but properly indoctrinated useful idiots were yet too young to influence western politics and free-trade-based systems..

update after 1,5 series: Enjoy heavily drunk (you will even laugh) ..with side dish of some heavy recent PC, LGBTQ... multi-cultural upgrade (that's unfortunately pretty visible)...

Lost in Space (2018–2021)
5/10
another "syfy" for idiots..
20 April 2018
Yes, it's defined by PC bull crap (more like devolved)...yes, writing is idiotic.. story is simplistic... ..for me the worst is the absence of proper science and some (ANY!) logic in actions of the "lost" settlers... to make it simple, they (writers) cut corners, script actors to behave erratic, not like adults and force them to act wooden ...

guess, it's created for the generation of morons = millennials ... I do not care about the original (never seen it) so no false expectations btw..

travesty
19 April 2018
Helen is not pretty.. and perhaps a little too old.. Agamemnon looks like inbred dimwitted psychopath.. Odysseus does not sound (or look) very clever either.. Achilles is average black angry dude.. Prince Hector is unexceptionally looking guy from British pub (so is Menelaus) has bellow average looking wife (Andromache).. Paris/Alexander is just an arrogant uninteresting cow herder, no one to fall in love with.. ..most "nobles" or heroes are average looking mixed Brits.. ..they created multicultural meaningless "community" without any relevance or substance.. The clothes look middle-age like, the interiors are sparsely decorated (even houses of royalty), the exteriors are generic serial-looking..

and yes, Zeus is black dude too :D

..usually I use such low quality series as "white noise" during work, this is even bellow that level..

how could they have missed that
6 April 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Having not read the book, I am not bound to opinion based on comparing the two book & film ...after watching the final part of 1st season, I still think this is nice and original series..

Have loved the retro-feeling of 50ies.

As well the actors were pretty good.

This made it pretty easy for viewer to emerge itself into the story.

The only problem I have (without the mentioned book-adherence restrictions) this had so much more promise. After the main character saved JFK from being shot it could have changed into virtually anything. Brand new world to explore.. so many options..

At first I thought as there are quite some theories (call it conspiracy if you like) about 2nd shooter, they will use it to make this JFK "savior" to 2nd shooter ( after he realizes the killing helped the country he is now living in). That would take the serial into whole another level... too bad they've missed the opportunity...

not sure why, as it was sooo obvious... :(

Primeval: New World (2012–2013)
3/10
Primeval for simple minded - skip if you are easily offended
30 January 2013
If this would be real, all "special primeval group" members would be already dead so slow they think on their feet (though some geniuses should be supposedly on board..

Generally comparing to original UK version this looks like is tailored for different (more simpler) audience. ..or it's just the script so bad ?

You can see here very visible "political correctness" in acting towards the creatures, which does not correspond to understanding of the evolution (and risks these anomalies potentially present to human kind) as well as it's just illogical as it causes very often even death of team members....and the team doesn't learn from the experience a bit.. Sure, other differently painstakingly "US hero" stereotypes are to see as well : \

In UK version I was looking forward for new parts (though there were some boring parts as well - usual for middle of the series)..here, I watch only with hope that some day maybe...then again I am let down :(

...sure another problem is why/how they decided to ignore what happened in UK series...

So That was just another "let's try to be cool" movie
21 August 2005

The french original was so much better ...

I still wonder, where are getting these lame directors money for making such a stupid and flat movies..

Sorry for that "fat" .. I know that presently in US is this average weight .. but for most of us Europeans is this stilt not usual.. thanks God for that ..
