Oblivion (2013)
Should be rated much higher
This is a truly outstanding sci-fi movie with a great plot, just the right amount of sci-fi environment and great characters. It's a very small but outstanding cast and everyone does their job just right.
The highlight of the movie is where Olga K steals the show in the scene that is the turning point of the story. If anyone doubts that she can act, they should watch this one again.
If you enjoy a movie with an actual story and not just an expensive CGI affair, this is worth your time.
I rarely watch a movie more than once but this one has captured my attention a few times. I'm very surprised it does not rate higher. 9/10.
Reacher (2022)
Quit before the last episode
I was enjoying this series. It's nothing brilliant but it was entertaining and then came the final episode of the season we're in the first four minutes reacher and his friends are quite dead to rights by the bad guys. The bad guys could've killed Reacher and put it into the whole story right there but no, we are supposed to believe that the bad guys want to spend five minutes filling us in on every detail of their crimes and acknowledging their guilt and then leaving Reacher alive so he can come back and finish them off later! Seriously, who wrote this episode? Better question, who approved this writing?!
Debris (2021)
Ridiculous and inane.
The first episode or two we're OK and I was interested in this series but it has steadily gone downhill since then. I made it to episode eight where one of the investigators was asked by his boss to play a role in murdering the father of his partner. I stopped watching right there so I don't know what happens but let me just say it's quite predictable that it doesn't work out that way. Just the latest in a long line of dumb premises. Moving on.
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End (2016)
Finest PS4 game ever made.
This is a masterpiece. It is exactly what a video game should be and why I bought a PS4 to begin with. Engaging story, amazing graphics smooth and fun in gameplay, Beautiful scenery. The puzzles could be harder but so what
This game simultaneously made me excited and intrigued to play it to its conclusion and also wanting it to never end. It's an awesome experience. Cannot recommend it highly enough.
Angel Has Fallen (2019)
Typical but enjoyable.
Typical action flick romp. The highlight is banning's dad who lives in the mountains of West Virginia. He's ex-military and a prepper - and quite the character.
Maybe the best 10 minutes of a movie I've seen in a long long time!
1917 (2019)
Beautiful cinematography. Nonsensical behavior.
A movie with such tremendous attention to detail should not have an outlandish series of coincidences. Worse, the actions of are two heroes are unlikely and Illogical to a fault at times.
Baby Driver (2017)
Fun ride
Fun ride! Simplistic but thoroughly entertaining.
Reminded me of True Romance.
+1 for a Lily James. Lily, will you marry me?
Black Mirror (2011)
Outstanding
This series is a collection of individual stories so giving it a rating is kind of an average of all of the episodes. The majority of them were outstanding. Quality writing and acting and great stories that were inventive and I was honestly glued to the screen for several of them. Out of the five seasons that I watched, there are a few duds but none are as bad as Netflix's new sci-fi series "another life". That's the worst show I've ever seen.
Another Life (2019)
Just awful
Who wrote this show? The writing is poor and as infantile as the behavior of the crew of this fictional spacecraft. You would think the crew of a mission to save our planet would include some adult professionals but instead they've got some entitled college kids you don't seem particularly bothered by mutinys or murders in the first two episodes. They've also got people taking their helmets off and breathing the air on a planet that has to be hundreds of degrees below zero and of course they're going to make water and oxygen out of a few rocks that they chipped off a cave wall! For sci-fi to work, it has to be somewhat believable. Try harder please.
