Dark (2017)
season 3 kills the entire show
Season 3 is so bad, it s almost like it s a parody to season 1 & 2: i have never seen a show where the quality drops so massivly between seasons. Already the end of season 2 is a bit of a "duh", and it went steadily downhill from there. It gets vague , repetetive, meaningless and so on. It s almost like the creators gave season 3 to JJ Abrahams to write. Spoiler, there was no need for a double universe...at all...the time paradox was totally fine, and much more believable. Even the special fx suck in season 3 with all the stupid glowy particle stuff which doesn t fit the dark sober look of the show at all. Season 1 & 2 s reduced vfx are much much better and much more original and believable... in a nutshell, season 3 kills the entire show. Sorry.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
Really great show , really great cast , amazing fx
Galdriel is beautifull in such an understated way, the diverse cast, that so many people seem to hate, (this whole anti woke soldier think is sooo boring by now) is really cool!! The special effects are ace, so is the music , edit , and yes, the story isn t as good as tolkiens original, but hey ,classics are classics for a reason. The screen writers did a great job nevertheless. This show was exciting , greatly entertaining, well cast, exquisitly produced. If ur a lord of the rings fan , it s a must! And no , it s nowhere near as butchered as JJ chopped up Star trek, or disneys murder of star wars...it s actually really good. Most important: dont listen to the haters...they re just trapped in an online algorythem for rightwing reactionism...
Intelligence (2014)
Chip in head to show us tutti fruity motion graphics...
Finally, Sawyer from Lost has his very own series. Unfortunately it's worse than "Almost human , which is "almost good", and it it's even worse than Arrow, which should be called Error.
The show instantly manages to annoy with every dumb character setup stereotype one could possibly script into the first 10 minutes. The cast is weak, and the setup completely bogus.
Cyber Defense or what was it? who built what chips? who put the most expensive chip into whose head? such nonsense...
good showreel material for a bunch of junior motion graphics artists, nothing more, nothing less....
5 out of 10 , pretty bad....
Defiance (2013)
Deficiant Disaster...
I don't even know where to begin... What a terrible show...lol..
The scale of the show's world is completely over the top, the acting is terrible, the characters are worse than the ones in SGU and the special effects are like a bad multivitamin drink with all sorts of berries, bananas, citrus fruits and papaya mixed into a fruity disaster. The production values are all over the place , ranging from PS3 trailer kind of decent large scale war simulation, to terrible morning television green-screen work.
Who was mad enough to waste this amount of a production effort on such an unachievable concept? I mean "STAR WARS" hasn't tried to portrait a community on this scale...lol...
And just when i thought we hit an ultimate sci fi low with "TERRA 'BOYSCOUT' NOVA" " : along comes DEFIANCE... I basically have nothing good to say about the show at all...I'm find it hard to believe that this show actually exists.
next time SCI FI CHANNEL: GET 3 GOOD ACTORS 1 SPACESHIP,1 DECENT WRITER AND GO EXPLORE SOME PLANETS...
Transformers Prime (2010)
Best transformers to date
Not only is this better than the movies, megatron is actually scary for the first time ever!!! The characters are well designed and the voice actors are doing a fantastic job, especially the one of star- screams voice. The final episodes to each of the seasons are epic! And show us exactly what we always wanted to see!!!!! spoiler alert...Finally there is some action on CYBERTRON!!!!!! And we get to be inside UNICRON!!!!
The cg is well done although it would be nice to have a bit more detail in the backgrounds and landscapes...but hey give these guys michael bay's budget and i bet they would make a transformers film as good a film as godfather!
I cannot believe this show only scores 6.9 on IMDb , it is definitely a 8 or 9 if you are a transformers fan and at least a 7 if your not.
Chatroom (2010)
a great film , full stop
OK first of all i gave this a ten to try bump up the rating a bit. actually i would give this a 7.5 or an 8. this movie is greatly entertaining, well crafted and superbly acted. i really can't understand why this film got such a low rating on IMDb.
this movie is clever, deep .and most importantly: vacant of bratty American college talk.(aka scott pilgrim, which i thought was highly annoying) the story is intricate., the visualization of the chat-room/cyberworld is excellent, and i haven't gotten sucked in to a teenage drama as much as this since "The Breakfast Club".
if there has been a film about teenagers worth watching since "kids", this is the one..
Heartless (2009)
the forever changing idea
what a shame, this movie had all the potential to be something different within the horror genre.. unfortunately it failed utterly to create any kind of empathy for the characters. the script has more twists than 10 sherlock Holmes novels together and fails to create any kind of a realism therefore... now some would say , hey: but David lynch's films don't make any sense either and are full of symbolisms, yes, however this movie is not like that, it even lacks consistency in it's inconsistency so : this movie is a bloody mess of a story basically...
i only recommend this to people who have some sort of an emotional attachment to shoreditch, nice to see the ditch on cam...
yet, respect to the people who made this it "looked" great. 7.5 out of 10 for production...
i'd love to see another movie made by the same people with a better script..the script was aaaaaaawwwwwwffffffuuuuuullllll
Monsters (2010)
monsters of non essential smalltalk...
first of all, respect for this guys , well done with so little crew as far as the production quality goes...however the story of the main characters was unfortunately beyond all boredom i've ever experienced. although well acted, the content of the conversations was beyond dull.. and always completely unrelated to the situation they were in... i mean wouldn't you ever talk about the present survival endeavour, and cleverly analyse stuff?
the end scene cgi was dope, however, most of the cgi in the film was just military vehicles tracked into a camera shot with too much blur on them...not very inventive..nor that effective.
another let down was the monster design, ... on trees? that turn into ...? not sure about that, yet again: well done, though not very inventive...
but still , respect for putting this together...
unless your a fan of the genre or a competing "renagade movie crew" the movie is a waste of time... real shame because it could have been quite good with just a little bit of clever conversation between the characters...
Red Dwarf: Back to Earth (Part One) (2009)
Did George Lucas direct this? yet another murder of a great franchise...
I was stoked when i heard that there was gonna be some new episodes of red dwarf...but oh my quantum hazard, worst reheated bullcrap ever....
Script : self indulgend and boring as hell. 3d animations: poor at best....
the only good bit in the 3 episodes is the reflection joke done in aftereffects....other than that: flat jokes, flat scenes, flat acting ...
if the original series is funny as vindaloo is hot and spicy, this is a Sunday-rost in comparison....
3 out of 10 , buuuhhhhhh....
why can't you people leave things from the past alone...?
Stargate Universe (2009)
"Defying Stargate's Gravity" ..
"Defying Stargate's Gravity"
..
First of all , having cancelled Stargate Atlantis to bring us Stargate Universe is a joke. With all their market-research tools and viewer statistics they have to know that there ins't gonna be an audience for this show!!??! Just like there wasn't an audience for canadas' "defying gravity". This is Sci Fi people, no Sci Fi fan cares about some personal back-flash drama crap on earth. The whole point of Sci Fi is to give us drama and adventure beyond the banal structures of pleb existence
and frankly if i want to see some soapy drama , why in space??? I'd rather just watch lost or damages instead
shows which focus on human interaction entirely and therefore do it better.
the ridiculous Christian vision in the desert in episode 3 really shows you that A: Who-ever wrote the script or produced this must be some conformist Christian tool. Damn, was that episode bad
and B: That there is no hope for this show to pick up cause it lacks direction and character since the first thing they resorted to in a regular episode is Christian symbolism
I mean how about setting up the show a bit more , like : introducing an alien-character
something new people, not rehashing nonsense.
(On this note ,a big "f..k you" to all you psychotic Christian, Muslim and whatever cult morons out there, you holding humankind back
.
. theistic believes are nonsense!!!! please, it's 2010 soon , get with it!!!! )
And in all honesty, aren't the two worst boring things that can happen in movies or series in general: "dream sequences and religious visions???" especially bias ones ??? America ??? The land that Jesus got exported to in a super-size burger meal??? Hello???
So again, a big buh to this series for so far. I'm gonna check out two more episodes before i give up on the show, and just so you know SGU team, i only do so in reminiscence of it's predecessor SGA.
One last thing: didn't the shitty remake of "star trek enterprise" teach us hat cheesy music and Sci Fi don't go together
I give the show 3 out of 10 for so far.
