Avalanche Sharks (2014)
ACTUALLY ENDED WISHING MORE CHARACTERS DIED
The acting was absolutely horrible, as in kids on a playground do better every day. Writing was idiotic, and there were scenes I swear were filmed on a phone...a FLIP PHONE. This wasn't even one that was fun to watch just to make fun of, it felt like it was actively insulting both mu intelligence and that of every other human alive. This was one of the rare cases where I seriously was left wishing MORE characters died, as in LITERALLY EVERY CHARACTER except exactly ONE! Oh, and THEY KILLED THE DOGS, all of them! NOT OKAY!
The female characters were basically all cookie cutter clones that were only distinguishable by the colors of their outfits, Power Ranger style. The male characters. Even the protagonist were brainless macho idiots. But the actors couldn't even manage to remember their own marks, multiple times it was obvious someone had missed a mark/queue and was signaled by another actor, and THOSE WERE CONSIDERED THE GOOD TAKES! I can only imagine what was left out.
Lost Treasures of the Maya (2018)
What documentary there was, was great, but it felt more like a less than subtle commercial for the tech
Literally half of every episode was repeating the exact same gushing rehash of the technology they used, which while revolutionary and absolutely deserving of mention, shouldn't have warranted the constant (and literally repeated word for word) coverage. Between that and constantly recapping what JUST happened almost entirely every time they switched location, there was only maybe 40-50% actual information/exploration and the rest felt like a tech commercial.
The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)
Great visuals, pretty good story but characters are hit and miss
Visually this is awesome, and the story, while a little heavy handed, is pretty pertinent and decently laid out. Characters are inconsistent, as if there are numerous highly important development scenes missing. And I must say, while little Jaden Smith was cute, he has the distinction of playing probably the LEAST LIKEABLE child in film history (and I am including the friggin antichrist).
