Ender's Game (2013)
It was lame, very lame.
I remember watching the movie a few years ago in a cinema, I was excited, I've read the novel before and love sci-fi in general. I was literally depressed after the movie finished, how on earth were they able to create an incredibly bad movie from a pretty good novel again, I thought. Parts of the book were simply left out, which is fine, but too much was missing to fully understand what's happening and why. All along the movie I was wondering what makes Ender so special, it's very straightforward in the book but not here. And does really anybody believe there's only one step from playing silly shooting games and directing a real war, 'cause the film suggested that.
The X Files: Babylon (2016)
Disappointing
The 10th season was at best mediocre so far, a lot of people praised the 3. episode, but I was never a fan of fun" chapters. In every previous season there was about two of them. My guess was that in the 10th there'll be only one. So I expected a serious story, something exciting, thrilling with a dark and a bit depressing atmosphere. You know, like in the old days.
Instead of a real X-file, we got a shallow propaganda with a confusing message. They even tried to be funny but didn't succeed.
Every person in the episode who prays is a terrorist and plans to blow up himself
22,5% of the planet's population is Muslim, if all of them were terrorists, we would be in deep trouble. Still, this is what the show suggests or it just tries parodying the stereotype? I fail to see how.
Every person in Texas is a cowboy. Well, I don't know the exact numbers. :) Still, this is what the show suggests or it just tries parodying the stereotype? It wasn't funny.
Mulder's trip was the lowest point. Why, oh why? Why was it necessary to show that he was once the cool guy Hank Moody? What does this have to do with X-files?! (By the way, in the first two seasons of Californication he was awesome. Afterwards the show just became self repeating and unoriginal.)
David Duchovny couldn't take his role seriously, his lips were on the verge of a smile in every episode, but I hoped at least the writers will make a good job with the scripts. They failed.
I still like you David, but my trust in Chris Carter's writing abilities is gone.
