Passengers (2016)
Got to see this.. Being a Sci-Fi Junkie - UPDATED
I viewed the very low rated stuff primarily to see what's in common for some reviews.. I was really hoping some of that low scoring is not quite as bad as a 1 or 2 star. WELLLL...
UPDATE: OK as short as I can update, some low ratings were right on target.. I wont go as low as a 1 or 2, however, I knocked 1.5 from a promising 7.5 until the Transformer, comic book type ending took place! And to keep it short, I am sick and tired of these would be good movies ending too dam predictable!
When will someone realistically die in these movies again? And, yes, there is more to gripe about the ending; I will leave it here.
I truly hate to see a would-be good tech sci-fi movie end this way.. I had big hopes until the end happens. Romance and Sci-Fi almost worked out in this movie until the End. Sad.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016)
Just Couldn't Rate Any Higher
Every viewer has their own views of certain movies and as much as I like Sci-Fi genre, I just couldn't bring my score higher than a 6 on this movie.
Was it the plot that cramped me or more so that the movie was a bit long for the actions to offset the balance? Either way, maybe it's just not my style of sci-fi movie with this type of magic or witch craft.. Some boring moments and magic for my taste.
Strangely, I enjoy much of the Harry Potter stuff that hits the screens so i would say there is something quite lacking about this movie.
Anyhow, view at your own curiosity. But a 6 is what I am graciously giving this movie.
Shut In (2016)
TOOOOO Predictable!
It's crazy how bad movie production has become lately.. What is wrong writers and directors? This predictable movie stuff being produced now days is no excuse to blame on piracy or low sales.. It IS getting Ridiculous!
I practically sat there with my wife at the movies and could dam near predict almost half of what was going to happen past half way through the to the end.
Its a shame because this movie could have went so many other ways to give us something refreshing to look at.. but NO.. The laziness kicked in on this movie like many of the other crap being produced now..
It's getting bad!
Hand of God (2014)
Enjoyed It! Ends After Season 2.. What A Bomb!
Some viewers are straight out Baseless for their reasoning that this show wasn't Good and should be halted! If I am not wrong, The Average viewers gave this Series A well received 4 out of 5 Stars.. That can't be misleading to those who have their personal opinion about this show needing to be stopped at season 2.
Well, Each to their own, but the ratings should determine how a show should move forward, and this show had very good public reviews. I guess some viewers can't handle certain realities of crooked Judges and certain race relations.. That's my opinion. Oh Well, I'll move on as life does... Twisted Plots but Entertaining Show.
Star Trek Beyond (2016)
This Was All Wrong!
I really enjoyed the first outtake of the Star Trek expansion with the new cast and all, however, they really blew it on this one! Boring .. Boring Plot.
I don't know who directed or changed the flow on this movie, but they got it all wrong.. almost more of a comedy with weak action. How about the old Planet of the Apes? Even it was much better than this! They ruined the New Star Trek Flow with this mess.
I am very surprised it is above a 7 star rating.. must be a new generation for comedy sci-fi. This really gave Star Trek a bad face.
IMO
Sinister 2 (2015)
Where Have Scary Movies Gone?
Are you kidding me.. I haven't seen a good horror/scary movie since Annabelle and Evil Dead (2013), Movies that really engage the viewer.
The scariest parts of this movie was the music. The jump scares didn't work for me.
Once again, it appears some can't produce a horror movie without the, as I would call it, the 'Jason' effect, we will show you all these human killings, on old films, and that'll make the movie. Wow!
With all the items these ghosts were tossing around, couldn't they have killed whom they wanted? Hell, some of the items I wouldn't be able to lift. lol
A 4 rating is a terrible movie for me, so I'll stretch a 5 here.
Straight Outta Compton (2015)
What I Expected - Nice Portrayal of These Rappers
Having my experience of growing up around LA county, I would say the movie may have been a bit dramatic on some police scenes, except the scene of Rodney King, however, It truly reflects the racial tension and abuse of freedom of past, and possible present, LAPD behavior.
I'm not defending gang violence, but the truth of police abuse of authority is real in many areas, especially the history of LAPD.
With that said, I don't understand the sensitivity of some reviews that one-side this as racism, reality is reality.
With that aside, the movie itself done very well on showing the semi-biography on how these primary rappers made it through tempting times and rose up to become very successful in their careers.
The movie will speak for itself as far as how well people receive it, and I believe it's off to a great start with Box Office Numbers like It received.
