Sea Patrol: The Dogs of War (2008)
It's a dog's life in the navy
We meet the new and very different cook. We see the reunion we anticipated even though the characters involved did not. We get a good look at the new and impressive Hammersley - room for everyone on the bridge and cool tech that may involve satellite cameras or a magic mirror, I can't say for sure. And there's a dog! Definitely some excitement - boat chases can be as engaging as car chases. But the good guys seem to think weapons are just flags to wave around, even after one of their own was seriously wounded. Unfortunately for them, the bad guys know how to pull a trigger. But it would have been a short episode and no season-story if our guys had done their job in the mangroves. A happy dog can improve any situation, though!
Assassin's Creed (2016)
Why all the hate?
I really enjoyed this movie. The animus mechanics made a lot more sense to me. Bloodlines, artifacts, motivations, philosophies, I thought they were all well presented as concepts for people unfamiliar with the games. And some great actors!
Explains the world of the Assassins and the world of the Templars. It shows how Abstergo is connected and yet distinct from the Templar order. And that there are levels of evil (if you consider the Templars evil) or at least of how each is willing to go and to what end they each are working.
As a dedicated player of the games - haven't loved them all but have played them all - I really enjoyed seeing AC brought to life on the screen. And for someone unfamiliar with the games, it might really create interest.
