The Ravine (2021)
1/10
religiously curved and incredibly disrespectful
8 October 2022
Totally disrespectful to the families of real life tragedies . When a husband ie. Scott Peterson wipes out his family there is no "evil" or "angel" ! So disgusting this film! Disgusting!

Arrogance, misogyny, entitled, selfishness are what make a father kill his entire family.

This movie plays it off as if it was out of his hands, mysticism evil made him do it, seriously how horrible to represent the murdered this way! Murders his children!!! Oh but the angel stepped in to save the last one? Please!

The acting? Everyone is acting how to act; brutal! Teri Polo tried so hard but she never acts, she just looks like she's on the toilet face in every scene mustarding no emotional response from the audience.

Hard Pass, i do not recommend!

theo can't act
26 July 2022
Can we stop hiring this guy? He kills everything he's in! Make him a villain, last resort. Did Theo James even see the movie, read the book? These are mighty shoes to fill and Eric Bana is considered comedy actor in native homeland!! He's so wooden and weird, no sex appeal, no humour he's just filling a void.. as soon as I saw this was coming I was so excited then i read the cast and welp... nope!

cop drama trauma
31 January 2022
Detective survives being a child kidnap victim. Trades her daughter life for answers from her kidnapper who still has secrets years later. It was hard to ignore the lack of parenting skills she has and should not have custody! And the gun carrying big guns too and the lack of police protection gear, and confidentiality in the department makes it worse, brutal investigators . Skipped 4 episodes then watched the last 2 this is how i recommend this series.

The Gloaming (2020– )
2/10
scowls and side eye acting
22 January 2022
There isn't any investigating or Police work. There are murders past and present and the mystery is the connection between the murders that is all these slow driving angry misery faced police have figured out. This show is stupid! The cops drive around in personal car's scowling very little conversation about the case, no interrogation, no "come to the station", no actual policing is being worked. The lead female is not only a bad cop but a terrible human being! The characters are ALL side eyes and guilty looking but none of them are being seriously investigated. This isn't a cop drama it's drama and it's taken too long, I'm bored and character hate on is real ffs even I figured it out first episode!

turn sound off and watch
13 November 2021
It is a beautiful visual treat. And that's the best I can say! It is not a period piece shown clearly in the acting. It is not an accurate to the era clearly in the acting and sound track. This is better off as a music video. The music went from orchestra to reggae sound to hip hop, it was highly inaccurate and very distracting! Jeymes Samuel WTF! Do you even understand what a cowboy is?? I follow Idris Elba so I had to watch.

American ad for new weapons
13 November 2021
Bruce should have used his hollywood power and stopped the release of this ad for gadgets! He filmed his scenes solo it seems; was he even with the other actors ( a word i use loosely) Embarrassing to hunters or anyone who can handle a weapon. Bruce answers in end scene are what i expected throughout the film still not worth watching to the end.

get to episode 4
15 May 2021
If you can wait it will get better and the costumes will make sense and the usual tv drama recipes cut and copied from most tv drama; dad and son don't get along, Dad is righteous and wrong plus selfish spoiled daughter yada yada Just wade and wait for it to get better because it does. Yes the acting by Elena Kampouris is over the top uncomfortable to watch and easy to fast forward through as she is not relevant in season one so I feel I didn't miss any plot.

Looking forward to season 2.

it's American dumbed down
23 January 2021
It was good then it wasn't; then it was good and then..., classic problem for american sci fi, DRAMA! it lost its focus; could have been an amazing time travel movie but the writing/direction kept creeping back to married life and emotional family crap! it would have been better to omit the whole family and add a "missing" girlfriend. I find too many USA sci fi are dumbed down, over explained, convenient, meaningless messages of our future crap and this movie is a prime example of that! The acting is great and Anthony could have held the movie alone if written for one lead instead of 2. Doran accent kept slipping back, why can't he have his native tongue for this or any movie? I recommend this sci fi for its unique adventure but I limit myself from saying it was good, because it could have been amazing.

2067 (2020)

different
23 January 2021
Looking for a out of the norm sci fi trip this will do! Sure those couch astronauts left low reviews but this movie and it's making is kinda fantastic. Oh the acting? well, you get what you pay for... it had some cringe moments during the unwanted drama smack in the middle of the movie but you will get through it with more understanding of how our planet ( maybe right now) has an underground lab full of scientific research to leave this planet once we've destroyed and somewhere else in the world is another bunker of science trying to save the planet. I recommend watching, there isn't any other sci fi movie like it really, where the hero is both hero and antihero. Also, does anyone do sci fi like an Australian? Heck No! my sci fi day starts with an Australian movie search! You may not agree or like 2067 but you will remember it and be proud it is on your sci fi list of "seen it!"

The Old Guard (2020)
8/10
when will it be a series?
9 August 2020
More war, guns, hand to hand combat, soldiers of all kinds including very old immortals. The SGI was spot on believable looking! It has amazing potential for tv and why i think the movie was a little shy of being amazing paranormal or sci fi; it needed some time spent character building. Charlize Theron respects this genre and I always look forward to her in sci fi realms

meh ...
25 January 2020
This movie can be watched with the sound off. you will still understand what's going on; and what's going on? i a movie that can't decide if it's about surfing teens, surf gangs, mental illness, fidelity, marriages etc because we got a slice of all that and not enough to make it whole.

Another Life (2019–2021)
Alejandro and 12 others
8 August 2019
I agree with all the reviewers who question the age of these 20 something actors leading a ship into space and who land on a planet and take off their helmets. Reminding me how insulting the writers are to the Sci-fi community who expect and demand facts; Absurdity! I wonder how old the 13 writers are (13 writers!?) However, I also agree to wait for episode 5 or 6 when the worst characters are killed off and the earth artifact takes a more predominate story.... Few things we earthlings know, pathogens are real so keep your mask on and all scans read what we have knowledge of therefore space is an unknown as well as an unknown on our planet. We don't run in to any unknown without hazmat suits, oxygen, eye protection I can go on.... my point? Jean jackets and flannel shirt scientist and lots of lipstick on the ship, ya right!

it's a love story
30 January 2019
Can't a girl love her planet without quit? This is a slow sad movie about isolation and hope with a stunning backdrop of a dead earth. It was simple, sad, beautiful and lonely visually. I'm not looking for scientific accuracy or explanations I just wanted her to have what she needed and in the end she got it. This is a personal choice sci fi. Judge for yourself by watching it alone.

Ed Dector, up your writing skills dude!
9 May 2018
Well the most notible resume for talent is Katherine McNamara and funny that she is by far the worst actor. Unfortunately the writing relies heavily on Cass. Claire book which you would think it would be easy to fill in some intelligent lines or at least original, reactionary and deeper thinking to help these new actors who seem uncomfortable talking AND acting. There is more emotion on the faces of androids from Westworld, honestly. Good thing the co-stars are superior in delivering scenes, makes the errors in showing emotion like, severity, sadness, fear etc from the leads (who I hope are taking notes) more watchable and tolerable.

Katherine (Clary) inhales and exhales so loud; every line is delivered with a shuddering breath, sister THAT IS NOT ACTING! I call recast! we would be grateful, honestly! Alas, its season 1 and I can only hope for an improvements; I tried when it first came out but was so insulted by the cut and paste writing, the limited acting skills from the Clary and most of the cast (did they even read the book?) I gave up....suprised to hell how YA must be salivating for this series since it's in its 3rd season so I'm giving it another view and what a struggle, I've read the series so I just jumped around watching episodes I wanted. Fingers crossed for season 2. Ed Dector writing leaves out common sense and it is crazy not to recognize this....we are watching other shows parallel to this genre and compare how characters react in dire situations (the 100, all the Marvel shows, etc.) stop insulting our intellegence and WRITE!

Stasis (2017)

acting in stasis
30 August 2017
Wow! Wow, wow wow wow? what acting school did these people drop out of? They are equally terrible but the lead actress, Hanna Harr is particularly over her head acting 2 roles. Casting Director should be fired! This is a great sci fi movie for 11 yr. old's; I only say this because my 11 year old watched it briefly longer than I did. it's a WTH and a DNF for me... so bad 👎

Why Him? (2016)

it is what it is, Entertaining
26 August 2017
Pure entertainment! I laughed, I cringed, I rolled my eyes, I reminded myself how much I love Cranston and Mullally to balance my dislike of all things Franco. This movie is like Franco's character Laird; totally honest. I'm not going to used big words to describe my likes or dislikes, not going to sound like a film expert who's expectations are high. I knew what kind of movie I was tuning in and I was not disappointed...It's funny, it's stupid, it's ridiculous, it's hilarious. I highly rated it because I was entertained. Easy laugh....

disappointed

When you name a movie King Arthur I expected the King Arthur tale. If you went to see the Shining remake and the opening had elephants, well...? This would have been forgivable and a great Guy Ritchie movie if he had called it Fanfiction or anything else; Dude, call it anything but King Arthur! Ridiculous! If I wasn't a huge fan of this tale and didn't know the story of King Arthur then its a great Guy Ritchie movie. Effects were amazing the humour was comedy; Charlie did a fantastic king and Jude, meh. Mr.Bana gave this my 1 star rating.
