Im Westen nichts Neues (2022)
Graphic but no depth
The first half of the book was neglected in the movie which is a mistake because they could have used the early days of the schoolboys together to develop characters (so the audience could care about them more) and as a contrast to the horrors of war. Instead it was constant horrors which brutalised the viewer's senses.
Also, more amputees and blown off body parts would have been more realistic.
So more character development and character bonding with fewer but more realistic war scenes.
I'm not sure how accurate the political comment about the movie is in reality. Namely the evil general contrasted with the peace loving politician suing for peace in a wasteful war. This message could have been more balanced. The reality is that soldiers understand the cost of war, politicians not so much...
Jurassic World Dominion (2022)
Fun
I watched with my son and his friends and it was enjoyable to see them enjoy this trashy kind of movie. The kids saw a lot of references to today's reality: corporations pushing gene based solutions on populations, famine and starvation due to the meddling in science, swarms of locusts in the context of Klaus Schwab and oligarchs pushing us to eat insects to 'save the planet'. Interesting how these topics are part of cultural consciousness now...
Annihilation (2018)
Utter rubbish
A boring waste of time. Regret wasting my Saturday afternoon on this. This is the result of a film industry no longer based on meritocracy. There is also something satanic about it which is unsurprising given the decadent direction we are heading.
Epidemiya (2019)
Pandemic
Gripping and intense. It's a road trip movie without the Hollywood cliches. It's an antidote to the woke rubbish which makes 95% of Netflix unwatchable.
Two Graves (2018)
One to miss....
One of those movies where you go away feeling you have wasted your time which you will never get it back... full of cliches and bad acting. How do right-thinking people give these idiots access to a film studio? Apart from that the attempt to frame it in some kind of social justice context was laughable...
