War of the Worlds: The Attack (2023)
The trailer was the best thing about this movie
I was always going to pay YouTube the rental for this movie as I love all things, 'War of the world's.' I was excited by the trailer and being named 'The Attack' I thought maybe this is going to be the first of a few movies. However, after watching it, I hope they don't attempt a 2nd one.
.
The acting was poor and awkward to watch as I felt their embarrassment at times. The plot felt like it was being made up as they go. I liked the choice of location for the opening scene with the 3 kids on their bikes but it's was obviously an attempt to imitate Stranger Things with the drone footage.
I also liked they're attempt to stick to Jeff Wayne's story and characters but I wish it was done so much better.
For years I've been waiting and hoping for a war of the worlds movie that follows Jeff Wayne's story. I would even love to see a musical being produced.
Sadly, this movie failed all of my expectations and never once pulled me in to the plot. I was left watching a screen and judging the terrible acting, poor CGI and confused story. I've been extremely generous to give this movie 2 stars.
Stargate Origins (2018)
Absolutly spoiled by ridiculous child-like comedy
I got so excited when I saw that a new Stargate movie had been released as I have seen everything the Stargate franchise has to offer multiple times over. I have been desperate for more content as I'm sure other fans like me have.
The idea behind this movie wasn't a bad one and I would have really enjoyed it if it was done right.
Unfortunatly, it was terrible and I was so angry that this garbage is now associated with Stargate. EVERY single actor/actress was absolute rubbish and it was painful to watch. I have seem better movies shot with a mobile phone with no budget and uploaded to a YouTube channel with four subscribers. Every single line was an attempt at comedy and it was embarrasing to watch because I don't think I laughed even once.
I'm not sure what possessed the studio to approve such as awful amature script. In fact, I'm not sure what possessed them to even publish such rubbish. I can only assume the studio didn't even watch the movie because nobody in their right mind would think this was an acceptable movie to be aligned with Stargate.
The ONLY reason I even gave the movie 2 stars in my review was because I got to see a stargate open again which brought back many fond memories for me.
I hope this movie is deleted by all and never seen again by any more Stargate fans because this will be a massive disapointment for them.
What makes this god awful movie even worse is the fact that it could have a negative impact on any future Stargate ideas. The studios and decision makers might look back and see how badly this movie was recieved and it might prevent them from approving anynew Stargate projects.
Lets all hope for the sake of our sanity that the writers and actors, producers and directors of this embarrasment never get to be involved in another movie again. Especially another movie franchise that deserved a bit of respect if they wanted to create something special. Maybe next time they should do some research on the show before they wing it and trash a great movie brand.
Not sure everyone will feel like I do about this movie. I guess you will need to be a Stargate fan to understand how let down I am. To draw a comparison, it would be like adding a thick mushrrom soup to a Peperoni Pizza and sticking it allin a blender to make a smoothy. YUCK!
I really feel like swearing about this movie. %^$&^*&%%(^(*^)*&)(&
Anyway, if your a Stargate fan, I really hope you read this review first and then put the thought of watching it out of your head for good. Honestly, you will have more fun watching the Football pools results at 4:45 on a Saturday afternoon using a black and white TV with a dodgy speaker.
BTW, the comedy in this movie is even worse than mine if you believe thats possible.

The Chronoscope (2009)
A very clever hoax
The comedy genius on show is hard to deny.
The 1930's footage is brilliant.
