Dark Matter (2024)
Faithfully adapted from the novel
This is one of, if not the best adaption of a book I have ever seen. Not sure if that's because the author is listed as the creator of the TV series or not, but wow! When I heard they were making one of my favorite science fiction books into a series on Apple tv plus I was excited, and also worried it would be a disappointment. I am more than pleasantly surprised by this series. When I read the book years ago I instantly loved it. It's a page turner until the very end. I can't wait to read it again. Most of the time series or movies don't line up with the books they are based on, but this is the exception to that rule. Every episode (only 3 so far) are brilliantly produced, written, and executed with great acting. The episodes are true to the book. The pacing is perfect. Some have said it starts slow, but I don't feel like that's a problem. The book begins that way too, and it's for a reason, because once things kick off it isn't going to let up. I can't wait to see the rest of the season, and see this brilliant book come to life on the screen. So much more to come from this story, that people who haven't read the book won't see coming. I really hope this series gets the audience it needs to be as successful as some of the other series on this platform. I'm thinking of 'For All Mankind' right now, which is getting a 5th season along with a spinoff series. Apple TV plus does it right again, by picking interesting stories, and providing the funding needed to make them shine. Even if you haven't read this book, you will love the series. 10 out of 10 for me.
Away (2020)
Emotional!
This series is absolutely amazing. 5 stars all the way. It's an exciting, tense, emotional roller-coaster ride. Brilliant performances from the entire cast. Here's to hoping Netflix green lights a few more seasons of this excellent series.
Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
I absolutely loved this movie
So I will keep this short and no spoilers. The movie was excellent. It had a good story. Very emotional. Definitely the best of the new trilogy. I liked all 3, but I liked 7 and 9 the best. All the people around me in the theater seemed to really like it too. Can't wait for the next saga. Keep them coming Disney.
Impulse (2018)
Love this series season 2 is outstanding
Season 2 is as good if not better than the first season. Really hope this gets a season 3. So many unanswered questions.
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
A classic never gets old.
Just watched it again after many years, and it's timeless. The story, the cast, the direction, and that musical score. Absolutely perfect!
How It Ends (2018)
Now I know why Netflix has this
How it ends... Good title for a movie that had no ending. I guess the writers had no idea what was happening in this world either, since they couldn't be bothered to tell us. This movie had so much potential that was never realized. Time after time they set up a premise that never pays off. Going into this I was very excited, but wondered if I would be left disappointed. In the end I have to say I am very disappointed. No explanations, and the end of the movie was as if the writers just gave up. Unless this is being set up for a sequel or a series which I seriously doubt. This movie is an epic failure.
Between (2015)
So many plot holes
Was this really written by professionals. There are so many plot holes. Things the characters do don't make sense most of the time. Potentially a spoiler for Season 2 so if you don't want to know anything stop reading now. OK so how does a town run out of food and the people are on the verge of starving in 54 days. I mean really? This is a Canadian series, but apparently no one in the town knows how to hunt for food. Not one thing is said about water, but food is running out. I mean really who wrote this crap.
