Cobra Kai (2018)
Watchable, but nothing special
When Cobra Kai originally came out it was a good blast down memory lane, touching on the old movies whilst hitting a good balance of story and action.
This is definitely something worth giving a watch, but don't expect amazing story, acting or fighting.
The rating overall is overstated, this should not be a 8.5, but rather between 7 and 8 and is a good example of the issues with IMDB ratings. Significant over rating of 9 and 10 because they like the show rather than the quality of the show itself.
Alpha Code (2020)
Confusing Sci-Fi that lacks focus
Alpha Code is a movie that claims to be a true story, for any Alien Abduction movie that claims to be true, it will instantly have its believers and detractors.
The movie itself lost its way early with very little character development, whilst throwing the major plot at you almost instantly. I never felt invested in the characters and was unable to keep track of what was meant to be happening.
The main story centring around Martin Fell played by Bren Foster; is ultimately a search for his abducted daughter with the help of Johana played by Denise Richards. All while having a loss of memory and getting chased by an Anti Alien Government Taskforce. Its just convoluted, confusing and lacking its focus, it was trying to do too much and did it all poorly as a result.
The ending, without providing any spoilers just went completely over my head. It tried to close the loops, how things tie together and explain what happened, but I felt like I had more questions as a result.
Overall it is a poor movie 3/10 IMO, in no way is it horrible, but definitely not good. I would think that it will peak the interest of some people, but for most it will be a sub par watch.
