The Garfield Movie (2024)
Great little catflix
I watched this with my 9 year old daughter, her first 3D movie, and our first 4DX experience. The movie itself is pretty good, with a quite simple main story and some side stories. I was okay entertained by the movie it self, but I am pleased it had the 4DX as an extra attraction, as it definitely helped peak my interest for the movie. The movie seemed to have scenes specifically made for that, with many scenes that included roller coaster and windy rides, such as flying through tubes and riding on top of a train, there was also rain and lightning scenes that made use of all the 4DX features.
My ratings:
Movie only: 7
Movie + 3D + 4DX: 8
Daughters rating: 10.
Star Trek: Discovery: ...But to Connect (2021)
Great dialogue episode
This episode is a bit dialogue heavy, and rides on two parallel story lines, one is a diplomatic gathering to decide how to deal with the DMA, and the other is deciding how to deal with ZORA; Discovery's new sentient system. I found the later to be the most interesting part. There is also some tension (to say the least) with Book and the Captain, which we had felt coming for some time, mostly caused by his need for swift revenge or removal of DMA and it's creators.
Star Trek: Discovery: Stormy Weather (2021)
Fine episode
This episode was just fine, and with many interesting stories going on.
There was action, drama, puzzles, sorrow, romance, ghostly appearance, death, self awareness and discovery..
Not perfect, but for sure not as bad as many reviewers want you to think, the fact is they should have stopped watching a long time ago, instead of chiming in with all that negativity.
Star Trek: Discovery: The Examples (2021)
Great episode
I enjoyed this episode, albeit the main story (evacuate, free prisoners, time is ticking) is pretty simple it's very much Star Trek, and that is after all what I seek in this.
DMA arc story is also progressing nicely, not too impressed by the whole experiment drama (we need more power!! But but you can't have it!! But we NEED IT!! Okay fine!) but it's alright. The new science guy was interesting, and I hope he comes back in future episodes.
One weird flaw; The prison escape took place with no communication because of the prison shield, but the captain then suddenly hands over a small "phone" to the remaining prisoner allowing him to talk with her while she is in the ship... what!?
Thunder Force (2021)
If you are disappointed...
If you are disappointed, then you set yourself up for more than you should have. I found it light and witty, and came in with very little expectations, other than a few laughs with Melissa M. Loved the scenes with Bateman, that was hilarious and totally unexpected. 6.6/10.
Star Trek: Discovery: Su'Kal (2020)
Holo Deck episodes aren't my favorite, but Saru!!
But big up for Saru finally getting some screen time without five hours of makeup chair! :) But not really fond of holo deck based episodes, but it could be worse!! Great little history lesson on the Kelp'ies.
Loved that none of the away team members mentioned the flying giant fish dragons, they were obviously added after the script and filming was done, so the actors had no idea they were there.
Great CGI in general, especially the "monster". And there are some great set pieces built for the episode.
Overall: 6.7
Star Trek: Discovery: Unification III (2020)
Core Trek at it's best
Wonderful episode, that clearly shows of the core values of true Star Trek spirit. Yes there may be too much whispering, and crying. But I admit I had tears in my eyes a few times during this episode, can't wait to see what's going to happen with the Federation and possible inclusion of Ni'Var. 🖖🏼
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)
It was worth the wait! -- One mother of a force-tale...
I have been a major Star Wars fan since I was about six years old, and I can tell you quite simply: It was worth the wait! Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith is a magnificent ending on one of the greatest sagas of all time (including future). First I must emphasize the visuals in this movie WILL blow you away, it's just ludicrous cool quality constantly and it is very hard to point a finger at just about any of the visuals. The sound is just as good as the first trilogy, although I must admit listening to the sweet music was not the top priority when seeing it the first time. Hayden (Anakin) does a really good job of turning evil, compared to his pretty vague performance in Episode II, you can easily tell that his skills have improved, but I'm sure his script has too! Personally I think the 'turning evil' part happens a little to quick, but I guess the show must go on, this movie is just like going nuts in a candy store, sweet treats everywhere. Even though this is by far the most dark of the films, it's quite possibly also the most laugh-inducing, being filled with small jokes and silly comments especially from our droid friends. The movie puts many things in perspective and you will be given a great deal of information that will combine the whole saga in to one mother of a force-tale
I rate it at 9.8 out of 10, were it not for a few worrying details it would be perfect, but again nothing can be that perfect..? Thanks Lucas, I owe you one!
The New Swiss Family Robinson (1998)
For children only
I am in lack of words as to how amazed I am, that this movie exists..
This movie contains very serious with pirates shooting and wild animals (sharks, panther, crocs, apes...), and in other times the movie changes to almost circus clown comedy. As a result it is nothing but a poor script with ridiculous comedy twists, and with so bad special effects and film editing tricks.
To not be insulted by this movie at least a couple of times is impossible, unless you are very very young, or like very childish unthought movies.
I am amazed I haven't changed the channel after one hour, but more amazed that it is being shown 20:00 on a Saturday.. this should be shown at 06:00 in the morning, when adults sleep...
The orangutang is the worst part of this movie, please adults do not waste time on this, you will hit yourself..
The Last Dragon (1985)
A great 80's casual comedy, kung-fu movie, super soundtrack
I have watched this movie a dozens of times, and I just finished watching the DVD version, which was absolutely great. But I must warn you that I am affected by the nostalgia because I was crazy about martial arts movies when I was a kid (more than I am now anyways!)
It's a very laid back comedy with some fun references to Bruce Lee, who is the main actors idol.. He is called Leroy Green, but his friends call him Bruce Leeroy ;) this movie should not be taken serious in any way, and should be watched when in the mood for a relaxed adventure action movie, and lot's of 80's feeling ;)
The conclusion must be that if you like 80's movies, and not too serious kung-fu fighting movies then you should watch this movie, no doubt.. ;)
Signs (2002)
Really boring and lousy sci-fi
Just watched the movie this evening, and I can safely say it is truly a bad and confused story, this movie is not for people who likes to actually see alien creatures, this movie has far less alien shots than Contact, but unfortunately it is also very boring and has extremely poor acting and script. The main characters are two kids in the range of 6 to 12 years, along with Mel Gibson and some other guy. I would hesitate to call this a sci-fi, it's much more of a drama about religion and family than about UFO's and crop circles. Finally the movie does not even try to answer anything and leaves the viewer quite empty.
