Atlas (2024)
2/10
A pointless movie
28 May 2024
I did not realize what kind of a movie this was going to be. The whole movie is Jennifer Lopez in a box on a greenscreen. And unfortunately she is not a strong enough actor to carry a whole movie by herself.

So the movie starts on a woman with crazy hair, This was the very first thing that I noticed. I thought she was going to be a robot because she wakes up with this crazy hair, has the same crazy hair in every picture of her and goes to work and comes home with the same crazed hair.

And so She is not a robot, or ai. Thats not the twist. The twist is that there is no twist. Literally. I think. It seems like the twist was that Atlas thought she was responsible somehow. And clearly she is not.. But i dont get it. I guess the twist is that the name Atlas doesnt mean anything important.

So instead of letting the ai leave they chase him down in another freaking galaxy...Woa woah hold on. Another galaxy? So humanity is spread throughout the universe now? Who knows. Its never mentioned. Not a single freaking time. The humans speak as if earth is the only planet humans are on. Which makes zero sense.

Gen V: The Whole Truth (2023)
Season 1, Episode 4
5/10
I like Waterworld
25 April 2024
I guess i kinda am enjoying the show. But it doesnt make any sense.

Is it the editing? All of a sudden MC is asking Jake from Supernatural for help, then suddenly she is in his room...he is naked..but she is not and the door is being broken down.

I for real thought the rest of the episode was taking place inside his head and that this was part of his psychic powers. There was just no indication as to what happened. But No. The mc really blew up his dick and is surprised for some reason. As if she hadnt done the exact same thing to her father when she was a child. But lets not spend any more time thinking about that and lets move on to making fun of waterworld. And How does the small girl grow again? Anyone? She eats? What? How much? Does she even know?

Gen V (2023– )
5/10
the first episode does grab you. but it never keeps it up
24 April 2024
Ok so the main character is a woman who has blood powers but never once has she tried to heal anyone from it? Even though she cuts herself every day.

The powers in this series are a representation of womans emotional problems. Does no one else have issue with this? She cuts herself. Her roomates power is bulimia, and the "Hot" girls power is to control men. Seeing a pattern yet?

How does the bulimia power work? Well she painstakenly throws up her whole body weight over a long period of time to shrink down to thumbelina size. But in order to grow she?... Um...eats. Does she eat her whole weight in food every time? I dont see any food lying around. Where does it come from. Can she become a giant through the same method? Well you will never find out.

Suzume (2022)
8/10
Great movie, but too long
15 April 2024
So I liked this movie a good bit, but feel like its being held back by its long run time. So, they fill the movie up unnecessarily by repeating the same situations over and over again. They struggle to close a door, Chase down the cat and go to another door that they struggle to close. They do this same scene 4 or 5 times in different locations, rather than just move the story along.

I was hoping for something different to happen. Around the middle mark it seemed as though the movie was done. I was hoping for something a bit more exciting than what we got. But i still enjoyed it.

Too many scenes of people talking on the phone made some scenes unbearably boring.

Fallout: The End (2024)
Season 1, Episode 1
7/10
Its good..but makes no sense.
12 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Ok I realize we are not supposed to question the story. But That is a lame excuse for any movie or tv show to do nonsensical things...But i am having a really, really hard time understanding how a group from the outside got a bride for the main character inside, set up and ready to go without anyone raising an alarm. If they got inside without opening the vault..then why do the main characters have to open a vault to leave?

They dont think or talk about how the group got in there? Settings is pretty nice though and I guess that is all people care about..

umm...ymm...hmm...how to fill charactres...

Parasyte: The Grey (2024– )
2/10
yeesh
11 April 2024
Its probably the english dub. But this show is terrible. The pacing is terrible. 3 months later....ugh.

So yes the original parasyte was pretty awesome, even if the ending was just awful. And Because of its terrible ending I started watching this. But there is a lot more to be desired from this one than the last.

Again Its probably the english dub. But the dub is just awful. Some of the worst i have ever heard. Emotionless, monotone. You name it. Its there.

Maybe it gets better, but If i knew nothing about the original show I would be at a total loss. No getting to know the parasyte, or how it even linked with the woman. Just striaght to 3 months later.

My Daemon (2023)
7/10
It started off amazingly...then crashed
2 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I was hooked immediately. I was totally loving most of the show, except for sometimes the characters movements would show just how lifeless they really are. Most especially on background characters who dont really react or move like real people.

But anyways, the story was great until the human daemon. Which I did grow to like, but it did throw me off at first. But what i cannot deal with is the loss of Anna at the end. She acted like she had to sacrifice herself to keep the villain trapped in the void, but then he shows up at the end anyways. Did Anna also return? Why not show us rather then tease us?

.. So Daemons are basically a superior life form that came from radioactive sand? They are super smart, have amazing abilities and can grow to become godlike?

Our Universe (2022– )
5/10
Enough with the bs stories
11 October 2023
Love the visuals, love the science and the cgi effects are just outstanding. But the storytelling is so annoying. Also in my opinion, all of the animal connections to the universe felt so forced that it was cringe worthy. Its just so dragged out to maximize length at every possible turn.

And the penguins..the most forced story of the whole bunch. As if we are to believe they are following the same 2 penguins the whole time. As if we knew which 2 penguins would end up together and tell this crap story about how they are destined to be together. Which would have been fine but wow do they drag it out. Like a anime episode!

stupid and yet..Amazing
27 March 2023
I like Will Ferrel. I think that is important to know going in. I know a lot of people who hate his style of humor. I agree I liked it more when i was younger but he still gets some laughs out of me.

This movie tries too hard to be a generic romance movie sprinkled with bits of greatness thrown in. The way they try to play certain events is just plain stupid. Like when they showed WIlls character had slept with another woman....it made no sense and was completely ridiculous. Can I break it down for you for just a moment.

He was sleeping alone in his room at night...thinking about how the other girl is probably sleeping with that other guy. Then all of a sudden he is sleeping naked with another woman. Which suggests they were actually sleeping after having sex...but no the movie instead tries to play this confusing, stupid arc where no, they did not have sex..she just came over to sleep naked in his arms..What kind of sense does this make. None..ITs just a movie trope. And boy is it stupid.

But then we get that crazy song where everyone at the part is singing and Im won over. This is a great movie!...until again they do something stupid. They keep on breaking up the group just so Will can be late while trying to get back on stage...they do this 3 TIMES...3 times...and its the same thing everytime it happens. Movie should have been edited down so we could not have to watch the same thing 3 times.

But then we get the end song and everything is magical and amazing again.

So for every stupid thing in here is eventually paid off with some amazing creativity. I kept flipping between a 5 and a 10...So i was generous and gave it a 9 becaus of those few perfect creative moments.

The Mandalorian: Chapter 20: The Foundling (2023)
Season 3, Episode 4
4/10
I dont think they have any plans for this season
23 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Another filler episode...and its not even good! First of all..Im sick of watching Grogru. He does nothing. Hes boring to watch. He is just a doll being held by a person wearing a greenscreen suit...And its too obvious.

But most of the episode is chasing a dinosaur...yes..another one. Lets train in the area where these giant beasts keep showing up. So this is the third time star wars has done this trope where someone is in immediate danger and they chase after them, but then stop, take a break, go back, take another break, then 2 days later finally try to save the kid. Well i hate to break it to you..but he is dead..long since dead...But no..hey look he is still alive. How? Yeah i guess that dinosaur was just keeping him in its mouth for 2 whole days while it flies around the nest. Why the hell would it do that. Why would it not feed its starving babies for 2 days.

Why would kat chase down the dinosaur only to return without trying to save him.

This is just like when the pilot from the last move leaves the ship being attacked to go find help. He gets lost, wastes way way too much time..and yet still manages to get back before the ship is destroyed. It really stretches your imagination. Like oh no we are about to die in like 5 mintues...2 weeks later..oh good you are back just in time to save us.

The last 5 minutes and the inbetween shots of the forge were pretty great.

just okay
16 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The whole buildup with his student Nadia just fizzles out in the last 2 minutes of the show? That is freaking lame. Becauce im sure she would be quiet after killing her boyfriend right in front of her. And just because she touched the knife does not mean you can pin a whole murder on her. She is too short to be able to slice his neck open like that.

And joes whole...fight club thing ended up not being very interesting. Nothing really happens with it. They just kind of ...well yeah fizzle out...again.

So easily to kill a billionaire with so much security. I feel like Im watching rick and morty's short mysteries., it was just so easy.

Stupid...fight club
14 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
So now it makes sense...all the stupid and unexplainable things from the first half of this season finally come together to make something stupid!... A fight club knockoff..

So nothing we saw this season was real? OR some of it was..but now we have to question everything. WHo knows..maybe the whole season is a dream and he will wake up back in america..Or maybe he was abducted by aliens and is being experiemented on in a virtual reality setting...Both of those could be true now that they have opened pandoras box. Anything can happen now because there are no set ground rules. If joe and his captors can imagine seeing someone else...then how are we the audience supposed to know what is real or what was ever real.

I think this is a pretty stupid plot device.

very creative...super weird
13 March 2023
Its weird that a colony of mandalorians lived on the moon of mandalorian and yet no one ever went down to or scanned the planet of mandalorian... Or even knew anything about it...That part was stupid.

But the creative man machine thing was so awesome,. Its clearly a biological creature immortalized by turning into a machine vampire that is freaky as all hell.

Although we did kinda do the same thing in the 3rd star wars movie. When a character is in trouble another character can go off to space and be back in time to save them before they are killed.... Like how is that possible? DId the whole trip only take a few mintues...or did it days hours? Days? Weeks? Unclear,

Splitting the season ruined it
27 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
What a great fantastic season. I loved almost every moment of it. Until the very very end!... WTF is this? I really thought this season was only 5 episodes long The 5th episode felt like the end to a great, albeit short season...

The cut away. Ahh the cutaway. How the heck did the characters get out of their current situation? How did the murder, i dont remember his name because it was only said like twice..How did he get away from the rich house with everyone knowing he was the murderer?...easy.. We will just cut away..which defies all logic. Even if Joe and Kate somehow decided not to tell anyone else..Rold definitely would have. You expect me to believe that after almost burning alive he never said anything to anyone else? And The security team never saw anything? BULL PLOP... It felt like this was the real ending that was artificially extended and it is both terrible and off putting. I don't want to watch the rest of the season anymore.

To be truthful they did the same thing in the beginning of the season..If i woke up with a dead body in my house mu very first question to everyone would be who else took me home last night. And yet its never brought up or thought of.

I really thought the only thing that would make sense is that the killer was not part of the drinking party in the first episode otherwise the other rich people would have seen him/her go home with Joe and Malcolm. And so i really thought the killer was his student girl.

Star Trek: Picard: The Next Generation (2023)
Season 3, Episode 1
1/10
Its the same
17 February 2023
So i have not been a fan of picard the past 2 seasons. 1st season was barely ok and the 2nd season was boring as heck. But Being a huge star trek fan i persevered. I had heard things were going to really change up this season, but after 30 minutes i was falling asleep so I gave up.

Its the same kind of shots, the same settings, the same writing even. It felt so boring. Like a copy and paste from season 2. And that is definitely not what i wanted to see.

I feel like "beverly" is a place holder for rafi or 7 of 9. Seems like the same character to me. Not to mention...we have to do this huge long and boring introduction as to why we never saw her before...And we all know why. Because the actor didnt want to reprise her role again. But now we get she just vanished 20 years ago..blah blah blah, lame lame lame..

I thought this season was going to be different but its the same old same old garbage.

Im so torn
14 February 2023
On one hand..this was a really good season...loved it...But on the other hand..its so freaking short how can i praise something like this?

The first season of demon slayer was over a 3 year period and this 2nd season takes place in less than 1 single day.... Sure it was good but it does not add anything to the genre,,it does not move the story forward...

Its going to become the next Hero acadamia...its like dividing by 2...we will never reach 0..or the conclusion..we will just crawl infinitely between 0 and 1.

I had thought this show could be completely finished by season 2...but after watching it it will be a minimum of 700 episodes to complete this series...i knew i never should have watched season 2.

The Legend of Korra: Endgame (2012)
Season 1, Episode 12
9/10
Amazing show hampered by a rushed season
6 February 2023
The premise for this season was great. Benders and non benders have a major power difference between them and it seems only natural the benders would act superior. I wish we could have developed this throuout 4 seasons rather than rushing it through one. I heard they did not know if they would get another season so they did it all in one. Which is a shame..

THe love triangle was absolutely the worst part of the season. Its further ruined in season 2. But man...who cares if Amon is a water bender because his goals line up with yours why would you even really care if he is a water bender, he never uses it and why did they decide to make the fire scar on his face be fake? That just feels like they didnt have time to flesh out a real ending and instead just rushed it. There is so much potential in this arc that is never used. And at the end everything goes back to normal somehow...

Also i know its just for story...but how is it that blood bending is rare when we are 70% water...and yet the earthbenders can bend metal because of the slight amount of rock in the metal but cant waterbend blood becaus,...yeah i know..it makes no sense.

ITs like the Witcher...but way better
13 January 2023
Whats with the low scoring i dont understand. The witcher series is decent, but kinda boring. Here they took all the good and left out all the boring and its rated this low?

That intro is so freaking funny...How could that not put you in a good mood. Sure the chemistry between the two main characters is not great. But it doesnt really need to be.

But wow..not only did i find out what the conjuction finally is, but it was so good...Especially the cgi. That Creature looked so good, better than any other on the show or in game ever did.

Sure i wish that chaos magic guy actually did something interesting with his magic...but the conjuction was very entertaining so it didnt really matter in the end/

A mix between amazing and mediocre.
10 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Space Sweepers does so much right that it can be forgiven for a few things, but only a few things. Unfortunately this movie has more than just a few things wrong with it.

Ok so im going to start with what is most fresh in my mind. And that is Suni. The daughter of the pilot. I feel like this ruins the movie as a whole. Sure, it gives him the motivation of needing money and willing to do anything to get it. It makes him reflect on his life and realize how lousy of a person he has become. It even ties in with the protaganists reasoning why some people should die.. And all that works...until it doesnt. The end is so very odd. Im not sure i really understand what happened. The other girl provided some sort of psychic connection to Suni, but she was already dead? Im so lost. Her being dead pretty much ruins the movie for me.

Now id suni had died before the movie started...i think that would have solved most of our issues. He could still have flashbacks about how lousy a dad he was and still want money...because he is poor

Now if the crew had died...sure i would have been sad, but man it was a good death. Them being alive was just too cheesy. If the girl could control "indestructible" nanobots from vast distances in space...i feel like they could have used that ability better than they did. When did the nanobots become indestructible?

Why does evil guy want to kill Chut nam? Its never quite clear. He wants to evolve the human race so he wants to kill ...ok yeah im lost

This movie tries to do too much in the time it has. It actually needs to be cut down in length to improve the movie, Too many pointless side stories that go nowhere and serve little purpose.

Great actors, bad story..not for kids, but made for kids
22 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Great actors, great voices, great casting choices...Bad story...horrible actually.

I was trying to watch it on netflix. It was not bad. I knew if I had any kids watching i would have immediatley turned it off when the parents laughed at each other when the kid said where do babies come from. And it is such a weird perspective to have in a kids movies. That parents can have sex..or babies can be made by genetic cloning from paper letters.

But since i do not have kids, I kept watching 5 more minutes until the girl decided to jump off the airplane moving at 500mph to unstrap the baby....and yeah...so cringy i couldnt watch it anymore.. like who would do that. Even Bugs bunny wouldnt do that.

I thought this was a dark humor show
19 December 2022
So wow the first episode opens up so dark. But humorously dark. I thought this is how the whole season would play out, but nope,, only the first super short episode is like this. The rest of the show seems to be a super utterly boring rotating around japanese restarurant talking about personality and individualty...which is not where i thought the show was going.

But how loong can you stay in one place talking about the same thing. And be boring and inconsistent about it.

What is alive? Eggs, chickens..cooked food? An egg is alive as an egg but its also alive as pudding. So now nothing makes sense.

Sonic Prime: Shattered (2022)
Season 1, Episode 1
3/10
these flashbacks are super confusing
19 December 2022
So i have watched the whole 1st season and overall i love this show. But this first 1-2 episodes....why is it that every franchise has to do this flashback bs storytelling devices. IT does not work..stop trying to force flashbacks into stories.

And At least be consitent about it. Sometiems we get a "before" text but sometimes we dont and that is really confusing. And whats with this japanese anime crap of showing the same scene over and over and over again. 20 minute long episodes reduced to 15 minutes due to repeating scenes.

This episode is so confusing just so we can have more flashbacks later..a flashback that sets up more flashbacks...but i love the rest of the show.

Starts horribly, ends really good
19 December 2022
The beginning was so confusing with all the flashbacks. Sometimes they would tell you it was a flashback and other times it wouldnt. It did this so frequently that i couldnt tell what was going on.

It was jarring and crazy and childish and stupid. But after an episode or 2 we get to see sonic in his full glory and its pretty magnificent. Looks like I am watching someone playing an amazing sonic game.

Shadow...well, his character is as dumb as a rock, his skating his kinda gay, but darnnit when 2 hedgehogs are speed battling it gets pretty great. Everything in the show looks great except for the characters eyes.

I wanted to love..but there is no magic in this one
18 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
So, the dumbest thing they could have possibly have dones...they did within the first few minutes of the movie. Not 1, not 2, but 3 completely unbelievable events. They clone the Colonel in a avatar form...and he has a human son also on planet, and Sigorney Weaver has a daughter, even though she is dead...Did i miss anything. Is there anyone out there that actually liked this beginning?

I think the Colonel should have been the main character. He could have fallen in love with Pandora just as Jake did and we could have seen that hey, everyone who goes to this planet gets changed. But no, they just wanted a generic bad guy and nothing more. An old rival. But the problem with this is there are already plenty of people that think like this, we even saw them on screen, but they are only shown once and never again. The movie actually started off following the Colonel after being resurrected, and we think thats where the movie is heading but it was just for one shot then it moves on.

So they don't have a very good reason for leaving the forest. The forest has been under attack for years but now lets leave because im sure they will stop if we leave.. More like an ostrich with its head in the sand. If we dont see it its not happening.

You know what one line kinda ruined the movie for me. When they killed the whale and said this stops human aging and is the only reason why we are on this planet...What?!! WHat about unobtanium. Or did you really forget that is the only reason why you are on the planet..or to terraform and kill all the natives was another reason thrown out there. But its like Cameron completely forgot about unobtanium, and so did all the humans.

And by the end of the movie we are exactly where we started. Humans are still on pandora, nothing was solved, nothing was resolved. Why make a movie that has no point?

A nearly perfect movie/show..except for the film grain
14 December 2022
This is one of the best things I have ever seen.. And I am an adult too.

But lets talk about the 1 strike against it. That film grain. What on earth were they thinking. Why add it? There must have been some kind of visual interference throughout the show and they were trying to cover it up? In some scenes it looks like it flip flops between 2 different film grains...and these scenes are hard to watch. I actually could NOT watch these scenes. Which in grand total i counted about 3 or 4 and each lasted a minute or 2..So overall not bad..But man oh man. It could give people seizures.

So despite this 1 big strike against the show, I hope you give it a shot. I also hope they fix this problem in the future.
