Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)
Great Visuals, But Forgettable
The visuals are amazing. There is no denying that. The water effects looks amazing the characters do look amazing. Everything else is fine. The characters and story are fine. I will admit that for a 3 hour movie that it didn't drag, but I don't remember much about it. I saw this movie four hours ago. I swear that it's already leaving my memory. I don't know how James Cameron thinks he can make over five movies about dull characters and plot. I don't even remember the characters names. Even the main character's name. There is an interesting aspect of father and son dynamics that would be interesting if it didn't boil down to bad guy bad and good guy good. There are some dumb plot beats here and there, but most of the plot feels unimportant to the main draw of the film. The visuals. Which I wouldn't mind if the characters were more interesting. Which they are not. This film didn't annoy me. I did like my 3d experience with this film while I was watching it. So, I was considering it a six. Then I realized that the memory of the film was quickly leaving my brain somehow. Including the main character's name within four hours. The only reason why I would watch this again would be to refresh my memory before the Third film comes out. That's it.
The Callisto Protocol (2022)
Diet Dead Space
The Callisto Protocol is like Dead Space, but not scary. I wouldn't say that it's a straight up bad game (if you don't count the PC port), but I felt that the game was a diet Dead Space. The plot is fine for a video game story. The characters, plot, atmosphere is fine. The main problem with this game is the combat. The melee combat is either too easy with one dude or too hard when they're three. So, when bosses do show up. I have an easy time dealing with the bosses. (AKA the final boss and the mini boss they reuse four times in three hours.). But when three or more enemies show up, it becomes too hard to deal with. The game isn't scary at all. Every jump scare are either too obvious or they are spammed so much when the third time in a row where the game puts a small enemies in the boxes is just becomes dull. The rest of the complaints I have are little things that add up that made the experience slower on Day 1. (Healing take a long time to do. Turning is too slow. Swapping weapons takes too long to do. The health bar is sometimes hard to see during combat. The deaf enemies being dumber than Patrick Star.) This all pays off in a cliffhanger ending that does the Dead Space Ending, but worse. (Note that some people thought wasn't even that good in the first place. Including myself.) There wasn't one time where I was greatly enjoying the experience of the time. To be fair to the game. Compared to other Triple A games, it could have been a lot worse. It's at least have very little glitches and the bad frame rate on PC is better than the entire day 1 of Fallout 76. Plus, there wasn't multiple points where I was constantly angry at, but that is a low bar to pass. I don't imagine myself playing this as much as the Dead Space games. So, if you want a game that could be a good replacement for Dead Space. Look somewhere else. Your better off playing the remake.
Tin Toy (1988)
I had an out of body experience watching this.
It is one of these things that I don't know what to feel. I felt happiness, sadness, anger, confusion all within the last two minutes of this short. I can't say that's bad or good. I can tell you had a had more emotions within the last two minutes than the other good and bad films. Is it simple or complex. It is just a short about a baby and the toy. Or is it about the us as humans running from our past and some humans learning our mistake after seeing others being miserable in the process? I can't tell. The only reason why I'm giving this a five is not because is boring or mediocre. It's something where I can't fully comprehend what I just watched at all and can't comprehend what kind of quality the short is on. I have no choice, but to give it a five.
