Not good really at all
11 March 2022
Maybe you get sucked into the cinematography, which was done well enough. But maybe you also try to watch what little plot there is or explore the character's motivations, which are empty and insincere. This screenplay should have been left in someone's drafts folder.

Great!
12 April 2021
Deconstructing the pervading historical narrative of the western world and specifically America. It will be groundbreaking and uncomfortable for some. These are not new ideas however, and if you have even a cursory knowledge of history some of the material is repetitive. But the way culture, politics, economics and hate are interwoven in this documentary to highlight the underlying truths of western civilization's dominance over the last 500 years is beautiful.

Terrible movie
13 June 2020
Turned it off half way through. What a disaster. The acting was BAD. The story was predictable and told a thousand times already. Waste of time and talent.

Apple wasted so much money
3 February 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Why wasn't there anyone to ask if this was a good idea? It sounds cool at first, post-apocalyptic setting and the world is blind. But the execution is trash. Fantasy or not it needs to coalesce around rules. Actions need to make sense. As you watch the beautifully shot first episode you realize those pillars of a good story are quickly eroding as a hand to hand battle takes place between blind people in a forest. I watched a few more episodes but very little is done to build a believable world, one that makes sense to this fantasy they're trying to create.

One of the most boring episodes of Breaking Bad
15 October 2019
Well that was a thing. Respect for capping off another part of the story. I didn't think it was all that interesting. A few good scenes but I don't remember being wow'd by any cinematography like with shots in BB.

Boring slog through a case any fan already knows.
16 June 2019
Nothing that hasn't been said about these cases before. I thought the acting was pretty average. The case is interesting but the movie isn't.

Really Bad Movie
29 May 2019
I still cant figure out who this movie was made for even after watching the whole thing. I sat down with the hope of a alien invasion at summer camp movie, so it wasn't like my expectations were elevated. I guess that's what I watched but with all the fun ripped out.

Prospect (2018)
8/10
The way of the railgun.
5 February 2019
Another reviewer called this a Space Western and I agree completely. At heart it is a story about the frontier of space! It's a small story, focused on one girl, on one world in a larger universe we get small details about. The universe built around these small details left me wanting a trilogy. Seriously, it's epic.

But this story is awesome too. It's a test of a young person left to make their way in a cruel, unforgiving world. I just wish we got to see more of this journey.

Great action movie
20 January 2019
This is a solid movie and a great action movie. The plot is mostly predictable and probably something you've seen before. What makes the action great is the realism. The gun fighting is up there and believable. Sure our hero survives a few times he shouldn't but that's what makes it an action movie. My biggest complaint is probably that the payoff didn't really exist. "Mission Accomplished" came to mind at the end. What was it all for?

Not a good look
2 January 2019
A story of murder, guns, drugs, corruption, vigilantism, poverty, greed and idealism. As unsatisfying the results of the main case in this documentary are, the future gets an equally bleak outlook for the county from the film makers. A bad look for the cannabis industry too. I'm glad I watched the whole thing because the first 2 or so episodes had me asking if this was a Reefer Madness 2.0 type of thing. It isn't but it really doesn't take a positive view. But one of the things that really stood out was the incompetent and overwhelmed police. The enforcement at the end highlights how broken everything is.

How It Ends (2018)
5/10
Frustrating Movie
14 July 2018
I was into it at the start. The dinner was odd but set the stage for the road trip. And then the movie didn't go anywhere. Yes they drove though different situations and met different people. These situations though only raise more questions and the people just come and go with nothing to really add. What was with the train? What was actually happening? I kept waiting for the third act that never came.

Pretty darn good spy movie
1 May 2018
This is a real decent spy movie. It doesn't sprawl all over the place but shows the duplicity in espionage in a close up way. The coercion and brutality were believable. The biggest flaw was the floppy disks, who still uses those? This was set in modern time so I don't know where those came from. Does the DOD still use them?

You like shoot em ups? Don't need too much of that sappy stuff?
25 March 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This was an above average action film. The plot is typical for a big shooter. Baddies are many and the heros do die. The gun play isn't too over the top. Ending was fine and it's all wrapped up nicely.

Only the first episode
11 December 2017
It had some funny, some gore, some action, a little crime, and a bit of policing. I'm not into the story though, not my idea of a good plot. I'll be watching, hoping the story evolves past the current characters driving it. I'm really hoping the girl leads to the bigger story quickly.
