Ulven kommer (2020)
Plays a piano on your feelings all the way through
First the bad, and why it doesn't get 10 stars - it's pretty obvious 2-3 episodes in that a plot twists is coming, and it is the most obvious plot twist they went with in the end.
BUT - despite that they are still hitting all the strings in the grand orchestra of feelings right till the very end, despite the fact that you have probably figured out where it is all going long beforehand, in fact it puts the character of Holly in a different light at the end, that just triggers another round of emotions if you spend more than a few seconds contemplating the path of her character.
I'm blown away by Flora's performance through all of this, at just 14 or 15 years of age when this series was recorded, she puts in a performance well beyond her age, and Bjarne Henriksen delivers a rock solid performance as her co-star as you would always expect from him. Also pretty much all the supporting casts keeps up very well indeed.
It's an emotional rollercoaster from start till end, and I challenge you to watch through this without shedding tears several times.
Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014)
God is an asshole
Pretty good movie in my opinion. But what I don't get is this a Christian/Jewish movie, or an anti-Christian/Jewish movie? Because Jesus Christ, that Hebrew god is just a major asshole, having him portrayed as a small kid doesn't help, it just makes it worse, like humanity is his plaything.
I know the biblical story is pretty rough as well, like many things in the old testament, but they could have done a few things to make god seem a bit more sympathetic. I ended up rooting for the Egyptians at the end as a result.
Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome (2012)
Bad bad bad...
This doesn't deserve to wear the Battlestar Galactica badge. Decent cast, trying their damn hardest, but they are working with a poor script and plot line, the direction is questionable, and there is something wrong with the visuals.
The lighting and SFX seems off, doesn't at all look like something that's part of the Battlestar Galactica, whether it's due to a low budget, poor direction, or simply a stupid choice to fit this weird "thriller" themed plot line(which again, doesn't fit in with the Battlestar Galactica theme), I don't know, but I definitely don't like it!
