La casa de papel (2017)
Since season 2 has turned into mindless crap
No logic, no rationale, no research, no science just mindless plot lines. The first two seasons were brilliant. The other seasons could've been masterpieces but it's just turned into a circus with dumb writing inexplicable nonsense. There's so much irrational stuff that you could go on and on about how foolish the scenes and plot devices were. The attention to detail is almost non-existent.
Kill Command (2016)
Could have been a classic
I am just tired of how often script writers fail to justify actions of their characters. I would have liked the protagonists to show at least some semblance of intelligence especially considering the positions they held and the dire situations they were in. The acting, camera-work and production value make up for the deficiencies to some extent but not enough to absolve them. This is a one time watch. The squad leader is dumb and the techie acts like she's artificial intelligence herself. Other then the dumb characters and a predictable plot, the movie is paced beautifully with enough shifts and dynamism to keep you watching. However, it might not be as memorable an experience as it could've been.
Avatar (2009)
true movie-going experience
I was cajoled into writing this review by the numerous unjust critiques of this movie. People these days expect a lot of complexity — in the script, in editing, camera handling and the whole movie-making process. Even when simplicity has vastly greater effect. While the story might seem clichéd, I think the idea was beautifully executed and the message conveyed was clear. Imagine a confluence of both physical and metaphysical aspects of nature, of spiritual and material life, of politics and imperialism; I think the movie couldn't have been more profound and so legible that even kids could comprehend. And as you delve, you realize just why Cameron is one of the greatest directors of all time. This is what dreams are like, not those from Inception.
