High Life (2018)
only 4 minutes in and i too jumped off this lifeless ship
Oh Dear... not good..when a person floating on a spaceship of some type is fixing a bolt with a podger and IS WEARING a lanyard for the podger and he lets go it "drops" (in space?) because he didn't attach the tool to the Lanyard.. epic fail #1 .. within a minute he dresses people ..."dead" into space suits .. no mean feat. Merely to throw them outside where they too "drop" down as well. Epic fail #2 .
I also left the boring crew and the wailing child to their ..for me " endless voyage into oblivion. If you don't know your subject matter. Perhaps do a google search..on the term "lanyard", or "working at heights, AND Safety" saved myself. 1 hour 43 minutes of life, minus the 5 minutes to write this to save a few other souls.
If the podger appears at the end landing on, and killing any survivors head.. i guess i missed a comedy.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
More of a documentry in its storytelling style . where was the humour? the joy.. it was all a bit he said, she said, they did!..
Apart from the sense of fun that hobbits brought in the real series and their personal interations, that seemed totally missing in this overlong series.. It was all a bit too neat... maybe it was because in a story sense we know the outcome.. but imho this journey is one to avoid. I doubt i will await the next season. By way of explaining the neatness..the oceans were clean..ie no fish or seagrass.the sailors uniforms perfect. And identical..maybe its a result of digital filming and the everything in focus effect.. But.i felt it missed the point of being entertaining as well as just telling a story.
