The Woman King (2022)
This movie ticks all the boxes!
I usually find the score I'd give a movie is pretty much in line with the IMDB score. Not with this one, the score is way off.
The acting, the action, the story and the absolutely amazing African dance/song make this movie absolutely stunning.
I'd suggest watching it on a large screen, rather than something like a laptop, and with the best sound system you have available.
This is a movie I'll be watching again and will have to see if there is a soundtrack to be found, although without the dance it would lose some of its impact.
I never leave IMDB reviews but felt I had to in this case as the score is way too low.
Hacking the Wild (2017)
If stuck in the wilderness with a soldering iron, a servo and a photo receptor ...
I'm a big fan of survival shows, but this one is absolutely ridiculous, bordering on the dangerous (for poor information).
First episode he has a few of the usual things you might have on you hiking etc ... but also just happens to have an electric drill, some LED's, a laptop (ok, you might), a soldering iron, an electronic compass module ... seriously??? "Survival tips" include not only making a compass from the module you have (as you're far more likely to have that on you than, say, an actual compass, but you'll learn how to solder the LED's to make it easier to see the rf detector (you've also made) direction indicators.
OK, maybe it was just a bad first episode, so I gave it a second go.
Episode two you'll see how to make, using the motor/servo unit and laser pointer one always has, so that you can make something that can release your rope by pointing the laser pointer at the photo receptor you also had lying around.
At that point I gave up.
You'll learn more about surviving in the wilderness from the average Simpsons episode.
