Subservience (2024)
It could've been much better
The movie starts in a very interesting way showing the inevitable: AI and robots will be part of our lives whether you want or not.
However, unfortunately, in the second part of the movie the writers decider to go with the typical cliché of "AI shall kill us all" aka "Terminator mode".
I think the movie Her starred by Joaquin Phoenix depicts AI way better and I hope more movies go that direction soon.
Just imagine a Megan Fox android or an AI with the voice of Scarlette Johanson experiencing intimacy with you. Wouldn't you be in? Even if they are not humans, are love and attraction still there? What about the "robot bullying", you know, those people that are just violent with machines because they're just "things"? Should there be imprisonment for those actions in a near future?
There is so much more to explote on this topic and not just "Robots are evil".
All in all, this film kept me entertained.
Running with Speed (2023)
The Ultimate Fast-Paced Odyssey!
I love every single aspect of this documentary because it has a little bit of everything: gaming and speerun history, extremely high levels of nostalgia due to retro games such as Mario Bros, Metroid, Zelda and so on and even philosophical and real life aspects of what involves being a true speedrunner.
After watching this film, you'll feel like either watching speedruns or even becoming a speedrunner yourself. It's never too late!
Just look at these guys still facing off after so many years! It's a never-ending adventure!
SPOILER:
The only thing that felt kinda off was a fragment dedicated to Narcissa/Cosmo, I think they could've depicted in a better way but I guess the idea is to show us both the positive and negative sides of gaming so it's okay.
Mitch and GrandPooBear are my fav speedrunners by far!
Such charismatic characters!
If you like retro gaming, watching "Running with Speed" is a must!

From the very beginning, "The Mill" captivates the audience with its intriguing premise. Set in a small, seemingly peaceful room/building, the film immerses you in a world where secrets lurk behind every corner and wall which make t he atmosphere be thick with tension.

One of the movie's strongest aspects is its pacing. The plot unravels with precision, divulging key details and clues at the perfect moments.

Monsters of California (2023)
Unfairly Judged
It's a crying shame that some people have given this film a very low rate due to it being an "out-of-this-world comedy" during its first minutes.
If you can cope with during the first minutes, you'll find yourself immersed in a philosophical, conspiratorial, dramatic, slice of lice, sci-fi and so on experience you'll definitely love.
Monsters of California is a fun alien film that blends humor and conspiracy theories. While some acting is shaky and the comedy can be a bit much, it's an entertaining ride with a unique premise. The visual effects are impressive, and the camaraderie of the main trio shines. Despite its flaws, it's a couch-worthy flick that keeps you engaged till the end.
Us or Them (2023)
Decent Thrills and Suspenseful Gambling
"Us or them" may not have set the cinematic world on fire, but it managed to deliver a decent viewing experience. The film centers around a deadly game where participants must agree to earn money, facing dire consequences if they disagree. While the premise had potential, the execution was somewhat lacking.
The storyline, though intriguing, suffered from pacing issues that left us wanting more depth in character development and plot exploration. However, the tension and suspense created by the life-and-death decisions kept us engaged throughout.
One highlight of "Us or Them" was its cast, who delivered commendable performances, particularly in conveying the emotional turmoil faced by the characters who were best friends. The film's visual effects and cinematography were also noteworthy, adding to the overall atmosphere of suspense.
Despite its shortcomings, "Us or Them" managed to maintain a level of intrigue and suspense, which made it worth watching. It may not be a groundbreaking masterpiece, but it does a passable job in delivering a thrilling, if somewhat flawed, cinematic experience. With its fair share of suspense and solid performances,.
For these reasons, my final score is 6/10.
It's a decent choice for a night of suspenseful entertainment!
One Piece (2023)
LIVE ACTION JUSTICE!!!!!!!!
Finally, justice has been done!
You've probably been in the same boat as me during all these years, in which every time you watched a live action movie/series, you just felt disappointed because there were just too different or poor in comparison to the original anime/manga.
Nonetheless, this will not happen to you One Piece.
It is crystal clear that not only lots of money was invested on this show but also LOVE; lots of love from the staff!
The acting is awesome, the cosplays too! It doesn't feel cringy at all and as you know, this seems quite impossible making a live action series of a SHOUNEN ANIME which just has "ridiculous things" going on.
My main worry was Luffy's power. I mean, a real human being just stretching felt so...weird!
YET, THIS WAS NOT THE CASE!! Luffy's actor is perfect, and the stretching makes him even cooler!
Last but not least, there are "extra scenes" which are Easter Eggs for the true fans and also some little changes that make everything be understood better for newcomers or just suit the story better.
It can easily be seen that Eiichiro Oda supervised this series because none of it feel as a "filler" or "cliché hollywood-like".
All in all, I'm more than satisfied with this live action series and I can't wait for season 2 to be released, which of course shall be! I mean, just look at the score!! Haha.
The First Slam Dunk (2022)
EL TALENTOSO SAKURAGI IS BACK!
The talented Sakuragi and the rest of the Shohoku stars are back!
I'm from Argentina and Slam Dunk really made many people fall in love with basketball (including myself lol) and it used to be broadcasted on a channel called Magic Kids.
If you liked the original anime and manga, it's impossible you don't LOVE this film!
As regards the animation, you probably realized due to the trailer that it was made with CGI but...DON'T PANIC! This CGI is awe-inspiring because it feels just natural and fluent. I think this is the first time I like a CGI anime lol.
As for the plot, our main protagonist this time will be Ryota Miyagi and there will be plenty of surprises during the Inter High Tournament!!!
All those who didn't watch the anime and read the manga, should really do so in order to understand better what's going on.
Anyway, this made my day.
Kudos to Inoue Takehiko and Toei Animation for this masterpiece!!
Corner Office (2022)
We all need "that room"
From the very beginning of the story, the audience finds themselves doubting about the protagonist being a mad man or not due to this special "office" only he can see.
This is more than enough to fall for this film because the main character will start his monologue with a great vocabulary and details and viewers will be the ones to draw their own conclusions.
The acting of this movie is great and the moral even better.
Is reality real? Are we just a number in the system? Shouldn't we all be able to find this "room" by different means such as meditation, hobbies, love or whatsoever so!
All in all, this may not be the best movie out there, but it certainly manages to keep you engaged if you happen to like drama and psychological stuff.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always (2023)
I WAS 10 YEARS OLD AGAIN, AT LEAST FOR AN HOUR!!
Hey there, guys! So, I just watched the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once and Always movie, and I have to say, I really enjoyed it!
However, it seems some people didn't due to the fact that they don't get that it was impossible to bring the original actors together and the idea of the movie was not to have the best plot ever but to bring us NOSTALGIA, which did perfectly.
As a fan of the original TV show, I was a bit skeptical about how the movie would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised.
First of all, let me just say that this movie is a nostalgia bomb. It has all the same characters, costumes, and zords that we know and love from the TV show. The attention to detail is really impressive, and it's clear that the filmmakers wanted to pay homage to the original series while also introducing something new.
One thing that really stood out to me was the focus on teamwork. Unlike other superhero movies where the main hero saves the day all on their own, the Power Rangers are a team. They have to work together, communicate, and trust each other to overcome obstacles and defeat their enemies. I think that's a really valuable message for young viewers, and it makes the movie stand out from other superhero movies.
The acting in the movie is also really good. The young cast does a great job of bringing their characters to life, and they have excellent chemistry together. Dacre Montgomery, who plays Jason Scott, the Red Ranger, is particularly impressive. He really embodies the role of the team's leader and brings a lot of heart to the character.
The special effects in the movie aren't the most impressive, but they get the job done. The zords look great, and the fight scenes are well choreographed. However, I do have to say that the CGI for the villains is a bit wonky. Rita Repulsa's monsters look a bit cartoonish, which can be a bit distracting at times.
To conclude, I really enjoyed the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once and Always. It's a fun, action-packed adventure that stays true to the original series. The soundtrack is also really great, with a mix of classic rock and pop songs that perfectly capture the movie's tone. So, if you're a fan of the original Power Rangers series, or just looking for a fun, family-friendly movie to watch, I would definitely recommend checking out the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once and Always. It's a blast from the past that's sure to put a smile on your face.
Missing (2023)
A BREATH OF FRESH AIR!
I've been MISSING way too long to find a movie like MISSING! (no pun intended lol)
It's been a long time since I watched a refreshing movie like this one because even if the plot might seem something ordinary, you can't imagine the plot twists you'll bump into and how splendidly the use of computers, cameras, gps, internet and so on is applied in order to FIND THE TRUTH.
The acting is great and you'll probably end up loving "Javi" just like I did and he's not the only one because the character development in this movie is so nicely done that you might start hating or liking somebody you did not expect!
If you want to be entertained for 2 hours, this movie is just for you!
Togo (2022)
Acceptable!
This is a movie that people who are not from Uruguay and Argentina may not understand so well because of the "trapitos culture"
This is something we see day by day on the streets in our countries and I think the acting was quite good.
Trapitos are almost anywhere in the city and some of them are very agressive and violent while some others are quite nice and respectful just like our main character, Togo.
There are some plot holes, though.
However, the film does a decent job with its slow but progressive pace.
If you like crime and drugs stuff, you should give Togo a try!
PS: Congratulations on your first netflix movie, Uruguay!!!
Imawa no Kuni no Arisu (2020)
As a manga fan, I loved it!
Imawa No Kuni No Alice (Alice in borderland) is one of my favourite manga and when I found out that there was a live action I was happy and sad at the same time because I was afriad of them spoiling this masterpiece but guess what? They haven't!
The show is amazing and is definitely one of the best series out there to watch. There are many different aspects from the manga which made it even more entertaining to see!
Anyway, give Alice in Borderland a chance, you won't regret it! And also, if you enjoy reading comics, check out the manga, it's awesome!
Alien Addiction (2018)
WONDERFUL! IGNORE THE SCORE
I don't get the low rates but this movie is awesome! Its humour is perfect and the actors are 10/10.
One of the best "alien" movies out there!
Dispatches from Elsewhere: The Boy (2020)
Best ending ever
The most difficult part to develop for any kind of story is the end. Neverthless, "Dispatches from elsewhere" manages to create an awe-inspiring ending which
makes us, the spectators, feel and be part of it.
The message couldn't be clearer: it's not about YOU AND ME, it's about US! We are the change!!
I've found this episode really motivational and inspiring for my life and I'm sure many of you have. (even more during these coronavirus days)
That's the reason for my 10. I was "addicted" to the show in every single episode and that seldom happens.
We need more stuff like this. I'm glad to have taken this journey with you and I hope you agree with me.
Best Regards,
Matt
Dispatches from Elsewhere (2020)
I'm glad I paid no attention to the trolls rating.
I mean, 1/10, 3/10, 2/10, really guys? Don't review a title if you're just going to troll around. We, serious and responsible IMDB users, want to read opinions and reviews which make sense.
Anyway, I'm really enjoying this show. It's not for ANYBODY because it's really PSYCHOLOGICAL and you may feel lost from time to time.
I love the fact that every episode starts with a different character perspective continuing the events of the previous ones.
The acting, especially Peter's, is GODLIKE level! Seriously. What's more, the "antagonist" Octavio, with his expertise in psychology and british pronunciation, certainly rocks!
It was really necessary to have something different to watch because streaming services content is becoming kinda unsurprising and "Dispatches from Elsewhere" achieves that, to go beyond the ordinary.
Give it a shot You won't regret it! :)
H0us3 (2018)
Really nice! (Ignore the "painful to watch" review)
The deep and dark web are being mentioned over and over again nowadays. We use our computers and phones connected to the internet and have no idea which the consequences might be.
"H0us3" does and excellent job by showing us how virtually vulnerable we are and what a great ignorance about these issues we have.
The film is mainly about a group of friends having a meeting after many years and talking about the topics mentioned above but the thing is...it's amazing because you never get bored and you want to know what the hell is going and will go on.
Technology and the Internet are not what they seem to be.
As for the person who wrote "painful to watch", I'm glad I ignored his review. It seems that that individual was expecting special effects and some avengers heroes to save us all. This is not the Marvel universe, this is a movie about friends, and ordinary (although some of them pretty successful) people discovering an incredible secret related to the dark and deep web.
You, as the spectator, will feel you're inside the film! Go and watch it. You won't regret it. :)
4x4 (2019)
Best "wild tale" ever!
Even though it might seem slow-paced and only-one-scenario-for-all-the-time at first, this film depicts perfectly how fed up society is with criminals and makes you feel enjoyably eager during all the minutes it lasts!
We, ordinary people, just work for a salary, eat, sleep and then do the same.
In other words, we live an honest life every single day and in the end, we are no more than preys for robbers lurking around the city; the outlaws of life.
So, what if, just for once, this would be the way around?
What if, it was YOU could get justice by your own hand?
Well, this is what this movie takes care of and you are over-hyped all the time!
I loved its suspense OST.
Awesome acting. The protagonists Peter Lanzani and Daddy Brieva will undoubtedly be rewarded.
Okupas (2000)
4 awe-inspiring guys' adventures, in a downhill country
I'm from Argentina myself and I can say this series is one of the best ones this country has ever shot. It depicts a 2000/2001 crisis we were living through and how ordinary people had to struggle with life evey single day.
Every character is unique and you have no choice but to end up loving or hating them. Not only the four MC are cool, but also the antagonists and even their pet, a lovely and really intelligent dog, are amazing!
You know, due to Copyright issues, there was no official DVD released ever. However, it's still popular nowadays and views keep going up!!!
You can only watch it on Youtube or download it illegally around, and I think no subtitles exist. (If I happen to see people asking for it, I'll sub every episode on my own)
Okupas is one of those shows which show up every 50 years. So it's a must to watch it!
If you want the subtitiles, just mark my review as helpful and once I see enough clicks on YES, I'll start working into it!
The Walking Dead: The Calm Before (2019)
This is at the same level (or higher) than Negan's Killing!!!!!
OMFG! Just....OMFG!!!!!!
Magnificient ending. You just don't expect it.
I was expecting an important character such as Tara dies and then just extras but NO!!!!! THEY WERE ALL MORE THAN JUST SECONDARY CHARACTERS!!
And HENRY! OHH NOOO! Why Henry?? He was so cool and we all saw a new Carl IN him!!! Damn it!!!!
I hate but love this!!! This only proves how dangerous a post-apolyptic world can be. No one is safe!!!
Thanks Angela Kang for this. It was a good idea for you to take care of TWD's scripts even though you're over-feminist but NO COMPLAINTS!!!!!!!
THANKS THANKS AND...THANKS FOR THIS !!!!!!!!!!
Si no t'hagués conegut (2018)
Slow, but pleasantly easy-going with an amazing character development
I see some people complaining about this series being slow, however, that's the idea: An ordinary guy realizes he can travel through parallel universes but he is neither a scientist nor he's read about time travelling in his whole life. How on earth would he rush on things? Do you want him to have some powers and by changing one thing being a renowned genius? Sorry, but we have a normal skilled adult man this time!
Anyway, after some "trips" you get kind of mad because the MC doesn't seem to learn from his mistakes. Had I been the scriptwriter, I would have increased his IQ a bit .
It's wonderful when a "new" story starts in other universe because we have to pay attention to every single difference and details in situations, things and characters personalities.
I highly recommend you don't watch this show dubbed but subbed. It's much more enjoyable (and totally different) with the original voices.
I've seen plenty of parallel universes and time travel stuff such as The Butterfly Effect, Mr Nobody, Star Trek, Steins;Gate, Life Is Strange (this is a game) and I have to say this is at the same (and sometimes even a higher) level.
Just be patient with the overused and kind of everlasting drama, it'll all make sense and you'll get some single-episode-cliffhangers which you will either hate or love! LOL
Cobra Kai (2018)
HERE GOES ONE OF THE BEST 2018's SHOWS!
Awesome actors, wonderful storyline, no episode felt long or boring! I want to watch more and start Karate lessons ASAP lol!
Give Cobra Kai a try! It has completely revived Karate Kid from other original perspective!
Hagane no renkinjutsushi (2017)
Pretty Decent
Unlike other "live action" films, this one is faithful to the the manga/anime!
The visual effects are awesome. Some cast's perfomances were a bit lame, though.
Should you watch it? Yeahh!
However, if you haven't read the manga or watched the anime you may find the ending not so satisfactory.
My advice: Give the anime FMA: Brotherhood a try and all the doubts on your mind will be cleared up.
Re: Mind (2017)
Great Japanese TV Drama!
As a lover of Manga and Doramas, I totally recommend this series.
If you happened to read/watch "Gantz", you will love Re:Mind.
Questions will not stop coming to your head. "Why is this happening?" "What did these girls do?" "Who is the owner of the house" "Why on earth are the trapped?"
Little by little everything shall be explained to you!
Give it a try. Asian material has a lot of potential.
The Cloverfield Paradox (2018)
Time Travel's Magic is here!
As the film title implies, this movie is practically similar to the former but with two exceptions: Space and Time Travel.
You may be wondering how these two factors influence or what on earth they have to do with all the world chaos and "Godzilla". Well, let me tell you, everything shall make sense!
J.J Abrams did a great job again although that cliffhanger really hurt man...
Can't wait to see the next part and you'll undoubtedly feel the same if you like the previous films.
The Recall (2017)
Watchable Movie
If you like alien stuff, watching this movie is a must.
It reminded me of "Signs" (2002, Mel Gibson)
There is a good suspense, some action and clitché characters and the film feels really short.
Great actors, especially the "Blade" guy, lol, this dude does certainly know how to make us laugh in an apocalyptic world.
