Star Trek: Picard (2020–2023)
6/10
No
9 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This is....well a turd.

Patrick Stewart is a great actor but the storyline is ridiculous. Yes I'm a fan of the previous star Trek series this has very little to do with what the shows about

Data's daughter...that story has been done why rehash it?

Oh another if data's family literally noone knew about.

Oh suddenly TV is a thing in the future...where it's barely mentioned or seen in such a way through virtually the entire franchise.

The CGI. The scene where riker comes with some of the fleet is borderline lazy, yeah ok a lot of sovereign class..the futures here and Starfleet though yeah let's build the sovereign class only. It's lazy and anyway yeah sure a huge percentage of the fleet are near or sat near a station somewhere and can all get there that quick. Jog off.

Highly unlikely Starfleet would use "synthetics" to that degree on that scale.

They are all good actors...the writing however is written by a group who obviously need to revisit the endless hours of what's already been made and try again

Season 2 is inbound...back in time again to the present day...wonder where that's been done before.

Get better writers and use the backstory you have and the great actors are write some sort of story that is new.

Eternals (2021)
5/10
Yeah ok
6 November 2021
Is it your normal marvel no..is that a bad thing no.

I liked it to be fair..it's a bit long I agree.. The characters I liked. The action I liked.

I think what was missing is some or any connection to the bigger MCU..not a dealbreaker though but beyond a few mentions of Thanos that's it...the Thanos issue is an issue as is some of the other villains in the MCU purely from the standpoint of the eternals apparently can't intervene though harp on about loving earth..it just makes no sense

Overall I liked it though, good action, solid story.

What worried me the most was gandolfinis son acting in this but to be honest it was him in this film I kept waiting to see.

I think that's the problem. Noone was expecting the sopranos but we didn't expect a hallmark type movie. It was bland and boring. I'd rather a whole film on Tony when younger than a story like this.

It's weird..and just simply a bit boring fine actors etc but the script let them down.literally the best part is when the theme tune comes in at the very end. That part nailed and summed up what we actually wanted I think.

What were others watching?
29 July 2021
The first 10 minutes you are thinking ok.... I think I see where this is going

But you keep watching. The ending was one of the most original endings I've seen. Never saw that coming from a mile off and that's the best sort of film. Anyone scoring it a 5 and under is obviously a mentalist.

The thinking brigade and their reviews...jog on
3 July 2021
Honestly some of these reviews, listen not everyone wants to sit down and go into deep thought watching a film.

Was the film good...yes Was the acting alright..yes Was the story ok..yes

What I appreciated about this film was the fact it has a start, middle and instead of ending where I thought it would it pushes on past to answer the question that you do think of during the film.

I liked the character development, I think the emotional side worked well.

The special effects were cool.

Agreed on the music editing to a degree you do find yourself adjusting the volume a few times but whatever.

If you love sci-fi action films you'll love it.

Put it this way tenet which deals with time travel was actually a hundred times worse in mostly every way.

A woman I know asked me to watch this.

To be fair I should delete her from my life.

This film is by far one of the stupidest things I've ever seen.

Sad guy wants date Gets a buddy..gets obsessed Kills mother, trys to kill girlfriend Even with the hidden depth that exists it's stupid.

Dawn of the dead is a good zombie film

This is..stupid

So ok something that could spread on a global scale is just left so open it's unreal. They enter and don't even shut the door......

The daughter is the most stupidest annoying character ever. I'd drop her out the chopper for causing every one to die!

Las Vegas wouldn't even exist..it'd of been levelled a long...long time ago.

Noone is freely waltzing out and being ok hours after a nuclear warhead is dropped.

So daughter goes to find the mother of the kids..helicopter crashes and yet we didn't find out if the mother survived?!

Everyone is an amazing shot it seems

Stupid song choices.

The writing is shocking..it's cringey. A fun zombie film is one thing..something that makes zero sense whatever isn't.

Stowaway (I) (2021)
7/10
It was ok
23 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Good actors good setting...I watched it. I thought it was ok

One thing bugs me...this guy was behind a sealed panel. How was this guy behind a sealed panel on a space ship. It was not intentional on his part that he was behind a sealed panel on a spaceship. She had to undo the cover to gain access for him to drop on the ground. The rest is ok..

However I can't see NASA or whatever agency it was saying look you'll have to bin the guy off the ship...it doesn't matter on your morals...from an image standpoint it's unacceptable for an agency to make such a call. . They were close enough to earth probably for re-entry or at the very least to send another ship to get him. So in the end they lost on doctor. Gained a guy with no real relevant skills. Research destroyed. I mean...what

All that being said I thought it was ok..I watched it. All good actors definitely.

WandaVision (2021)
8/10
It was good
2 April 2021
I enjoyed wandavision. Elizabeth Olsen is hot anyway so it's always a plus.

It was different granted but overall I thought it was good.

My main gripe though is..you are telling me Wanda did all this to innocent people and literally no other avenger goes to visit to say look Wanda calm it down love. This is the problem with the individual avenger stories. I don't get it. What..so the rest hear about it whilst eating breakfast and think meh I'm sure she will sort it ougy.

This is a good film..but its really sterile. It basically feels like you are in a dentist waiting room..it's a busy room with a lot happening but all you can hear is the drill in the other room with the sound of the person next to you muffled

The actors were good. The setting was ok. The plot though I found it really difficult to care a whole lot. There was an urgency..but this urgency didn't seem world defining.

So yeah it's ok but doesn't even touch inception to be fair.

Despite the other reviews, no it's not ex machina, not sure where "cheap visuals" comments are coming from?! You are having a laugh.

Brilliant film, effects..melted my mind at the end

Raised by Wolves (2020–2022)

Great
23 September 2020
Ignore the bad reviews, I'd say half are people who can't handle sci-fi without travelling the galaxy and the other half wetting themselves with the religious element.

Original idea, Prometheus type vibe here definitely which is a plus some shots are amazing. I liked the cast to be honest. I think as it progresses they'll be a much wider story to tell but character progression etc is great

Ok it's a drama..but still
5 September 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This is not supposed to be Battlestar or star trek. It's the human aspect of a mission to Mars. Sometimes it's a bit cheesy yes but never mind. I still kept watching it. Ignore the whinge fest..try to actually watch it

Ignore the bad reviews
30 August 2020
Started randomly watching this...I really got into it as well. Yeah ok start of it you think hmm..but that's what the first 10 minutes. Keep going and you will get rewarded. Goes to show you don't need the budget of a country to make a great film

Greyhound (2020)

No it's not spr
12 July 2020
Everyone knows Hanks is great actor, has a passion for ww2 and yes Saving Private Ryan is one of the best ww2 films ever mad

BUT this is nowhere near that..

You just don't care about the characters. The cgi is crap..it'd look ok in a modern warfare game maybe..

There is just a weird feel to this film..not to say we don't appreciate the efforts of everyone in the war but this film doesn't truly give any credit to those efforts

The Boat (2018)
8/10
Had to
10 May 2020
I have to give this an 8...

It kept me hanging, good production,score etc

Ok it's a flimsy and I get some of the reviews..BUT

you spend the film expecting this or expecting that and going through scenarios of what's happened or going to, so that is what a films all about.

Was It weird ..yes but worth it, for a film with maybe a paragraph of dialogue it's pretty impressive

Engaging scifi
2 May 2020
I love science fiction..I kept myself from watching this as I thought it was just one of those random naff ones on Amazon..

I started this afternoon and just finished it.

I loved this series..there is depth to it, loved the effects as well..minimal but effective.

Storyline was brilliant, I've seen reviews saying it's slow...yes it is, this is not star wars or the marvel films.

Great acting.

I hope they do a season 2

I enjoyed the film..due to it being in ww1. I appreciate what it was aiming for. Some of it was pretty engaging but it's not a masterpiece. Reminded me more of a really expensive well shot BBC drama.

Don't get me wrong it was ok to watch I wouldn't call it Oscar worthy though

Ok the new trilogy sucks

I did like this better than the other two

BUT No Anakin Skywalker besides his voice.

The story is basically "sorry about the past Jedi"

It's a shame about the cast, you could of used them in a new trilogy or even a follow on this Skywalker trilogy with an actual story still.

Rey after this film I liked but purely because they used her right.

There isn't a really a story

The rating is for visuals and daisy Ridley and that's it.

Shame but I don't hate it as much as the last Jedi so it wins

Mr. Robot (2015–2019)
10/10
By far one of the best.
25 December 2019
The reviews you see are not wrong.

This is one of the best if not the best series you'll watch and to top it off with a deserved brilliant ending. It's an example of how you make television to be honest.

Acting brilliant..the cast are brilliant Script brilliant Concept brilliant Filming brilliant

It's just a brilliant show.

If you've not, start watching it, stands alongside breaking bad as one of the best pieces of television, films etc ever made

Lost in Space (2018–2021)
9/10
How it's done
25 December 2019
To be honest the negative reviews baffle me.

There's few science fiction shows that get better..and are as good (if you prefer crap like another life you are not a science fiction fan..simple)

Lost in space is much better than I expected from the first all the way to the second. Production value is on point. The cast are great. The story's great.

My only gripe is I'd of killed Smith ages ago and they survive A LOT..but really small things.

Roll on season 3...looking forward to it
