Intersect (2020)
Real bad, but I got to the end.
1. The sound was terrible.
2. The lighting was horrifying. They were often out in the sun.... but the sun NEVER touched them. Not even once. Not even that time he was in a forest clearing, with trees that had no leaves. (Once you figure out that is what the problem is, you can't unsee it. Sorry/not sorry)
3. The acting was average.
4. The story was told in a way that was simply for effect, without any cause to do it that way
5. I wasn't invested in the characters, nor really understood how it ended.
6. I didn't care that I thought the ending was stupid, I had so little investment in it.
Yeah... much less than a three, but if I actually make it to the end (I wish I didn't), then it gets a default 3.
Ninja Assassin had better acting and effects. If you have seen that, you won't see this...
Sisyphus (2017)
Terrible
The opening scene made me immediately think "Yeah, that wouldn't happen", followed by a chase scene where 20 people, within visual sight of a slight girl carrying a massive suitcase, manage to lose her, even though she is in plain view and could not be literally anywhere else.
Avoid.
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
I wanted to like it, which means a 4 star rather than 2
Everything except the script was great. I can suspend belief with the best of them, but even I was pulled out of the movie repeatedly by "Why would you do that? (x 10)" and "IT'S RIGHT THERE, why are you walking away?"
The final kick in the teeth was when the movie said "You know that thing we have been saying the whole time? Not going to apply now. Just this once, for no apparent reason"
Kûtei Doragonzu (2020)
Propaganda series about whaling
Substitutes whales for dragons, hunting "dragons" is portrayed as only for eating. Even has an episode that references the annual massacre of dolphins. Again, the "dragons" get hunted because they taste good.
Tone deaf Japanese propaganda.
Superman: Red Son (2020)
Not sure Americans realise this is anti-US
If you watch this from any point of view other than American, it is a great story of how capitalism and 'Merica works. Until the end, when you are expected to think that everything that happened before was planned and all ok.
Superman's USSR was the best country it could be, even prisoners were treated humanly, but 'MERICA! If you can't see it, I fear for the world. Then again, 35% of voters think Trump is a good president, so I expect this will not make anyone think.
Eternal Code (2019)
Low budget doesn't need to mean bad acting.
Shills abound. The first 5 minutes clearly shows the acting is poor, even the fight choreography was poor.
Should you watch it? Sure, just know it is low budget, very average acting and nothing too extraordinary. Or don't, as clearly the ratings have been "stacked". Just read them with a cynical eye and you will understand.
