Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: The Serene Squall (2022)
Huge miss and so badly written & acted
After several episodes that were pretty much cinema quality writing, acting and production this awful episode seems to have been crowbared in as some misguided attempt to be more liberal and push trans ideologies. I always loved trek for it's progressive inclusiveness but how they did this one was just so bad. The plot was shockingly badly written with huge chunks seemingly missing & making no sense, the acting was atrocious especially from the main villain regardless of the person's gender and the random lines trying to compare Spok's human/vulcan struggle to that of trans humans were woeful.
Andor (2022)
Slow and boring so far - up to episode 3
Don't understand all the 10/10 reviews?
So I like star wars but I'm not a Huge fan. My son however is your stereotypical gamer/coder star wars nerd and even he was really bored and deflated with this one. With the mando and the movies he'd be counting down the days and hours until their release, on this he excitedly watched the first 3 and hasn't even asked to put the next one on yet even though there are more episodes out. I really hope it picks up as the trailer looked amazing but so far for us it's just been so slow and boring even though the acting and graphics are amazing. Disappointing!
Keep Sweet (2021)
NOT the Netflix show
Other reviewers seem to be mixing this up with the Netflix show Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey which is excellent.
This is not that, this is based on the filmmaker taking a stance in favour of the cult and ignoring the horrific abuse.
Space Force (2020)
Season 2 is better than 1
Liked season 1 as a kind of silly pass your time show more than something I can't wait to see so was glad to see it renewed but season 2 was actually really good with lots of small laughs and a few proper lol's. Reading the negative reviews these people just seem like they take the show and probably themselves way too seriously. It's light humor, I feel sorry for those who can't just chill and enjoy it for what it is. I'm not someone who smokes weed but I can imagine anyone who does really loving this also.
Dune (2021)
Painfully slow and boring
With the cast and concept I was really looking forward to this one. I didn't realise it was to be the first part of a bigger franchise and as such basically nothing happens that couldn't have been summed up in 20 minutes without the near constant dramatic music and the to be continued end that was both predictable and annoying. Complete waste of two and a half hours. Shame.
The Mitchells vs the Machines (2021)
Absolutely brilliant family movie
Have been disappointed with a lot of animated family movies lately but this was a pleasant surprise. Loved the different style of animation, the story, lots of genuinely funny parts. The usual lessons for the viewers but done so well. All round just great and highly recommended. Didn't hurt that my family of 4 is very similar to the Mitchells although I'm definitely a better dad lol.
Without Remorse (2021)
Ruined by terrible acting and bad direction
I'm not a fan of MBJ, imo he's a ridiculously overrated, terrible actor but I'm a big fan of special ops type movies so was hoping for the best for this one but unfortunately it was a complete waste of time. So many bad scenes that just didn't fit together and were so badly acted. Overacting in many parts and a complete lack of energy on others that didn't fit the urgency of the scene. There's even one scene (not a spoiler) where these navy seal types are standing talking about their options with nothing but a huge clear window between them and the cops who you could clearly see walking about in the background?? Don't waste your time.
Trolls World Tour (2020)
So disappointed in this movie
I have a 10 and 12 year old and we all loved the first movie so we were looking forward to this but right from the start it was terribe. I think we counted 8 songs in the first 7 minutes and the plot was absolute nonsense even for a kids movie. Someone decided to abandon the great story in the first one in favour of random music scenes. We always like to watch all the way through but just couldn't do it with this
SEAL Team: All Along the Watchtower: Part 1 (2019)
Excellent as always but the ambassador..
Don't know what the actress playing the ambassador was smoking when they filmed these episodes but sweet jebus her acting wasn't just awful, it was bizarre. Unfortunate casting as the episodes were great as always
Travis Scott: Look Mom I Can Fly (2019)
Awful unless your a huge fan
If your a fan you'll probably love it just because there's lots of footage of Travis. If your looking for a good documentary it's terrible. Horribly put together, and more like a promo for stage diving than anything that gives you a meaningful insight into who he is. I'd hoped to understand why so many fans love him but was left none the wiser by this as he seems to be devoid of talent and successful because of who he colabs with, who he's dating and the producers of his tracks who do a great job laying down big beats with his heavily synthesised voice mumbling mostly lyrics a school child would do better over it. In interviews he talks about being an inspiration but nothing in his lyrics or lifestyle are of any true inspiration unless your sole goal is to be rich which is both shallow and sad
