The Cloverfield Paradox (2018)
Decent SciFi Film-Wish it wasn't Cloverfield Series!
Def a strange direction for the Cloverfield Series; but guess it gives us an origin of aliens.
Kind of cool premise for a sci-fi film, and production was very good, imo.
Always felt like the original Cloverfield had potential to go anywhere... Where future films could each possibly give other glimpses of what happened-all through "Found/Archived Sources" So, this sort of disappointed.
Extinction (2018)
Def Not as Bad as Reviews!
Simple Story, but actually kinda fun-as a sci-fi/Action Movie
IO (2019)
Had Potential, but Story is small & simple
They never actually show any part of the base on IO-whole film is about the last couple people left on an earth almost completely covered w/ poisonous gas.
Vikings (2013)
Not sure about Season 2
Enjoyed the First Season and was excited for the series. Wasn't expecting much, but quickly became a fan. Especially liked the Opening Title Sequence, original subject matter, Scandinavian historic accuracy, and the fact that the scope of the "world" & story widened in the last 3 or episodes; raising the stakes and becoming more in-depth...
(Have only watched first 5 Episodes...) However, Season Two has felt a lot more forced... Find myself constantly distracted by the acting & direction, not as much character development, and the plot is much more obvious...
(will re-evaluate once finished with the season...)
Black Sails (2014)
Best New Show of the Season
Really loving this show, I was pretty much hooked from the first opening sequence (superb cgi from ImaginaryForces & music by Bear McCreary)! Been waiting for a serious pirate drama that isn't based on comedy; because there really wasn't much to laugh about naval battles in the 1700's!
The Detail & Realism of Black Sails is amazing, and draws the viewer into the world; especially with the Ships(believe they actually built the main one, possibly more), Nassau(Starz seems to always fill their shows with hundreds & hundreds of extras), and the Costumes. Also like that they used real characters from history (Capt. Vane, Hornigold, Anne Boney, etc.), and I'm curious how the Treasure Island characters will play into it.
The plot is very smart and a lot more complex then I first thought, and story is probably the most important ingredient to any series. Have read a few people here saying that the story is clumsy or convoluted, but it must be too complicated for them, because everything fits together nicely with quite a few major surprises.
My biggest disappointment is the short, 8-Episode, season. Although many British shows like Luther and The Fall are even shorter, I really wanted more with this one. It wasn't until I checked IMDb that I even knew it was over!
But the bottom line is that I highly recommend this show to pretty much everyone... I'm just waiting for more and will back at the start of season two for sure!
