Silo (2023)
Started amazingly and went down fast
First two or even three episodes were great and after that is just fillers, dragging with no development at all. New episode is coming out, you start watching and suddenly it's over and nothing happened. Of course at the last or last two episodes something is going to happen, Juliette is going to get out aaaand cut... wait two years for the same thing or even worse. This is the main reason I watch less and less tv series, even if people have ready- semi ready story from books, games etc. They screw it this exact way because of laziness, greed or w/e. Happens with so much series who have/ had potential and it's sad, really.
Silo: The Relic (2023)
Too much
Captivating story from the first episode and it got me hooked for sure BUT. The problem is you get 50mins. Or so per episode and half of that time feels like just a waste of time, call it filler if you want. Change the original story, build up characters etc. I get that but there's no point of dragging something so much. I feel that every tv series I like there's a problem with wasted time because at the end of the season you need to wait 2 years for the next part of the story. I can think of at least 5 tv series that had amazing story, characters and so on, but didn't make it because of the reasons I've mentioned above. At the same time for the past few years we have seen some spectacular tv series with one season or separate stories for seasons. True detective was the cherry of them all, especially the first season. Also mini series and so on. You have a good story or even an idea of the story if you're going to change thing by your own, ok, but what is the point of making so many unnecessary moments. You have 30-60 mins per episode, make them all worth watching. Yes, at the start of the series you can give just crumbs of the story, plot w/e but at some point if you don't give answers it's not going to be enough, enough to simply keep the attention of the viewer. With all that being said I enjoy the series but keeping in mind how many episodes are left until the end of the season I doubt that it's going to feel like it was worth watching at the end. I hope I'm wrong.
Turning Red (2022)
Turning Red
The movie was okay,nothing that special in my opinion. Mainly exploring what it's like to go to puberty. Kids will probably love this one but it's defently not my favourite.
The main charcters (the kids) were a bit too much for me at the start,but they grew on me as the movie kept going. The animation and style was pretty good. Felt a bit unique so i appeciate that.
The story fell flat to me,i felt like there wasn't much of a story just mostly the teens problems. I know that's the main idea of the movie but there wasn't a lot to be hooked onto. The whole concert plot thingy felt somewhat cringy and unnecessary for me. Could've either made the movie shorter or just think of something bit more interesting as a plot. Altho i do get it.
Also there was like no consequences to the cast. Everyone just sees them as giant cute pandas. ( Which they kinda are but we saw what kind of damage they can do). I know red pandas are endangered and super cute,but everyone just accepted them as if they couldn't hurt nobody.
Also the movie is set in 2002 or so but the kids talk like today's tik tokers. You see those old nokia phones and that takes you back in time,but then the kids go for a whiny ''o m g'' and u remember that it's made for a newer audience. It can defently be bit cringy at times,probably a lot more for other people,but i managed to cope with the most of it.
Maybe this could've been a better story if it was more like a mulan,or set in more of a fantasy world. Since their predecessors used the pandas in wars. But then again today's kids won't relate to that one.
All in all it's decent,cute and there were a few funny bits here and there,but not all that memorable. A couple more touching moments that stuck out,but they weren't able to hold me for too long.
It defenetly has some heart put into it,but I doubt i will watch this again anytime soon.
For passing time it's okay.
The Sea Beast (2022)
A fun ride in the sea
Like many have said before, this is quite similar to HTTYD,but worse. Don't get me wrong it's still a quite the enjoyable movie
What i liked about the movie is of course the amazing animation. The water is so real,the character along with their animations is just as good. Everything looks amazing,clean and very smooth.
Another thing that i liked quite a bit is that the movie took itself somewhat seriouslly. The fights between the monsters were never really interrupted by any funny or goofy moments. Something that would take you out of the moment. So i appreciate that part quite a bit,
Things that could've been better are:
The characters were okay,there were only a few of those and they are not as memorable but they do their job.
The music could've been better,again it's not bad but there's nothing that sticks out to you or even that memorable. Could've added a couple pirate songs here and there.
The sea beasts could've been better too,i felt like they didn't not explore them much. You don't even see that much of them,they fell bit flat for me with a few exceptions here and there. Like the small blue jellyfish thingie that was super cute. The main beast literally has the head of toothless from HTTYD (yes i even compared them in between pics). That's not necessarily a bad thing. Both can be cute and terryfing,but yeah could've came up with something original. Altho i understand they wanted to make it more expressive.
The story can be predictable yes,it's not all that surprisng. There's a couple of more touching moments here and there which were able to made me teary for a few seconds. But it wasn't able to struck me as deep as HTTYD.
All in all this is a decent movie,it has it's moments. It has heart put into it. It has pretty good action pieses and i'd recomend it to anyone who enjoyed HTTYD. Or just in general a good and fun animated movie.
