Ad Astra (2019)
Very Bad.
Drama and story: 5/10
Science in the film: 0/10
This story should have been made in a totally different setting... Because it's obvious that the film makers do not know about space, space travel, gravity in outer space and how time works when you're away from Earth.
Not to mention the illogical and unneeded space stunts that won't work in a 2019 space film... It suited a 1980s or a 1990s scifi film better.
Just bad.
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (2017)
They screwed up this franchise once again.
Ever since I watched the trailers for this game before it was released, I knew that there was going to be something seriously wrong with it.
Anyone one who played the first game (Wolfenstein: The New Order), will understand what I'm saying. This game has turned the setting and atmosphere of the brilliant first game upside down. It's turned to a comedy show with lots and lots of unfunny, unnecessary characters.
The first game had a great serious tone, with an intriguing villain that made you so damn hooked up to get to at the end. This one? I don't know what it wants, or what the plan is - or what kind of mood it wants to convey.
It's apparent that this game had different writers than those who wrote the first one and its prequel follow-up (The Old Blood). I believe that the producers hired stupid teenagers for this one because the story, characters, and mood are all over the place.
Bottom line - Play or replay "The New Order" and "The Old Blood" again, and skip this bad sequel. They screwed up the Wolfenstein series again, and I do not believe that this game will sell enough to warrant a new one in the future.
Score: 6/10.
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (2017)
Excellent first two thirds, then it falls flat.
Resident Evil 7 (7.5 out of 10)
Resident Evil 7 is a fresh take on the Resident Evil universe. It has no relation at all to previous games from the series (Except maybe at the very end) - and that is a good thing. In fact RE7 is a very, very good effort; if not for the lackluster third part of the game.
You're playing the character of a husband who was contacted by his wife who disappeared three years earlier, asking him to come and find her (Silent Hill 2... Remember guys?). Being the faithful husband he is, Ethan (The husband's name) does not disappoint and goes looking for his wife.
His heads to the countryside to her last know location, where he finds the Bakers' old mansion and property. He goes into the house through a back entrance and faces unexpected original horrors after the other in his quest to save his wife.
The Rednecks/Hillbilly/Southern evil (No offence) is excellent and so damn original. It's better than any take you've seen before in movies or video games. With excellent boss and original boss fights at the beginning.
Things were going very good if not excellent, until the writers/developers decided to move the action and the setting away from the Bakers' family land. The game fell flat and wasn't entertaining anymore at all. It was as if the magic and the anticipation for what's next has gone. The game turned into a generic RE title from the past years. Worse than that, it turned into the well-know F.E.A.R. game franchise for no reason at all (Seriously).
I was really entertained by the game two thirds into it, my score was a solid 8.5 or even a 9 until a lame unexpected boss fight started, and I knew then that they ran out of ideas.
If Capcom (The developer) stuck to the early premise of the game, and hadn't changed the setting - this would have been indeed a classic. But unfortunately they ran out of ideas and maybe hired different writers to finish the game (hence the totally different, and lame third part).
My score for this game now would be a solid 7.5/10.
Don't get me wrong, it's a must play. Just don't think that the quality of the game will remain the same until the end.
